Display case assembly system

A display case assembly system, comprising:

• a plurality of closed frame tubes, each said closed frame tube comprising two closed frame tube longitudinal ends, at least one said closed frame tube longitudinal end comprising fastener receiving means;
• a plurality of laterally breakable frame tubes, each said breakable frame tube comprising a breakable frame tube mounting section having a fastener port;
• at least one fastener fitted through said fastener port in one of said mounting section and into one of said fastener receiving means in one of said closed frame tube longitudinal ends, such that at least one said breakable frame tube is fastened to one said closed frame tube longitudinal end;
• a breakable frame tube cover section with snap engagement means for snap engagement with said mounting section to form a composite tube concealing said at least one fastener;
• and a panel mounted and extending between said closed frame tube and said breakable frame tube;
• wherein each said closed frame tube has a longitudinal slat mounting face, additionally comprising a panel engaging profile slat secured to one said longitudinal slat mounting face for mounting and retaining a display case panel and for extending across and blocking longitudinal sliding movement of an adjacent said cover section relative to an adjacent said mounting section.
