A panel display system comprises three separate, flat display panels, each with surfaces allowing for the easy, temporary attachment and ready removal of photographs, brochures, documents, visual aids or the like. One side of one of the panels is rotatably connected, by hinges, to one side of a second panel. The other side of the first panel is rotatably connected, by hinges, to one side of a third panel, such that the first panel becomes the central display panel in a three panel display configuration, with the other two panels in adjacent alignment. By rotating the panels about their hinges, the display system can readily, easily and quickly be converted to a single panel display or a dual panel display, without the use of tools or any other appliance. A header is provided for ready placement on and attachment to the display system, in each of its configurations. Support members are provided for use when the system is configured as a single panel display.
A panel display system for single panel display and multiple panel display configurations, said system comprising multiple interconnected adjacently aligned display panels and means for connecting adjacent panels of the system side by side, said means at all times during the single panel display configuration and multiple panel display configurations, maintaining the connection between adjacent panels, whereby said connecting means is configured to allow adjacent panels to rotate in relation to each other such that all panels are stacked one on another to form the single panel display configuration without removing the connection between the panels and to allow adjacent panels to rotate in relation to each other to form different multiple panel displays configurations without removing the connection between the panels, said display system further comprising means secured to one of the display panels to su oil the panel displays system in the single panel display configuration.
A panel display system for single panel display and multiple panel display configurations, said system comprising three interconnected, adjacently aligned display panels and means for connecting adjacent display panels side by side, said means, at all times during the single panel display configuration and multiple panel display configurations, maintaining the connection between adjacent panels, whereby said connecting means is configured to allow adjacent panels to rotate in relation to each other such that all panels are stacked one on another to form the single panel display configuration without removing the connection between the panels, to allow adjacent panels to rotate in an alternate manner to form a dual panel display configuration without removing the connection between the panels, and to allow adjacent panels to rotate in yet another manner to form a three panel display configuration without removing the connection between the panels.
A panel display system for single panel display and multiple panel display configurations, said system comprising multiple interconnected adjacently aligned display panels and means for connecting adjacent panels of the system side by side to allow rotation between the panels, said means at all times during the single panel display configuration and multiple panel display configurations, maintaining the connection between adjacent panels, whereby the panels are configured to rotate in relation to each other such that all panels are stacked one on another to form the single panel display configuration and to convert from the single panel display configuration to a multiple panel display configuration, from a multiple panel display configuration to the single panel display configuration and from a multiple panel display configuration to a different multiple panel display configuration, without removing the connection between the panels.
