Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION concerns a collapsible display stand in the form of a variable parallelepiped framework defined by eight connecting nodes at the corners interconnected by rods pivotally attached diagonally to the corners of four rectangular sides.
  • a framework of this kind may stand alone or form one part of a composite framework produced by joining a number of such units together.
  • the stand may be used to mount rigid or flexible display graphics.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a collapsible display stand of the aforesaid kind wherein the connecting nodes are improved with respect to their conventional counterparts, rendering the stand more easily assembled and more readily adapted to receive a graphics display sheet.
  • a collapsible display stand comprising a variable parallelepiped framework defined by eight connecting nodes at the corners interconnected by rods pivotally attached diagonally to the corners of four rectangular sides, characterised in that of at least some of the connecting nodes, each consists of a plate-like member with two or more pairs of parallel lugs projecting from one face thereof; in that a connecting rod is pivotally attached to and between at least one of said pairs of lugs to be supported thereby; and in that on the opposite face of said plate-like member a supporting surface is provided for freely mounting an edge of a display sheet or the like.
  • a collapsible display stand of the kind with which this invention is concerned comprises eight connecting nodes 10 providing the upper four and lower four corner mounts for a number of rods which form a parallelepiped framework.
  • the rods 11 are pivotally attached diagonally to the corners of four rectangular sides which, in this example, are represented by a base, a top and two ends, the diagonally intersecting rods 11 on each side being pivotally connected together at their mid points as illustrated at 12.
  • each node 10 consists of a plate-like member 13 having a number of pairs of parallel lugs 14 projecting from one face thereof.
  • the node is preferably of a plastics material and manufactured by moulding such that the lugs 14 and plate-like member 13 are integral.
  • Each pair of lugs 14 is joined at its inner end by a central wall member 15 disposed generally diagonally with respect to the corners of plate-like member 13.
  • the walls 15 define a square sectioned central aperture 16 for a purpose to be
  • Each pair of lugs 14 has a pair of apertures 17 by which the end region of one of the rods 11 may be fixed to the node 10 using a removable pin 18 which passes through apertures 17 and a corresponding aperture through rod 11.
  • a snap ring 19 may be applied to lodge behind locating teeth 20 on pin 18, to retain same, the head 21 of the pin locating against the adjacent lug 14.
  • Apertures 22 are provided in the corner regions of the node, for example, as a means of attachment of the stand to a wall or other stand member.
  • the peg illustrated in Fig. 3 comprises a square sectioned shank 23 having an enlarged square sectioned head 24.
  • the end of the shank 23 remote from the head is split at 25 and carries a pair of retaining projections 26.
  • the peg has a threaded bore as illustrated at 27.
  • a peg of the kind illustrated in Fig. 3 is preferably of plastics and may be fixed to a node 10 by inserting it into the latter such that head 24 of the peg lies flush with the remote face of plate-like member 13 as viewed in Fig. 2, whilst retaining projections 26 bear against the end faces of walls 15.
  • a graphics display sheet may be mounted across one face of the stand and supported at each of four corners by a retaining plate of the kind illustrated in Fig. 5.
  • the plate consists of a disc 28 having a number of locating projections 29 on one face thereof which supports a corner region of a display sheet 30.
  • the projections 29 bear against the plain surface of the node 10 and the assembly is held together by inserting a screw 31 through disc 28 into aperture 27 of the central peg within the node 10.
  • a plate or disc of the kind illustrated in Fig. 5 will be used to attach rigid graphics display sheets.
  • the plate or disc 28 may be integrally formed with member 13 such that shelves similar to projections 29 remain between them.
  • a flexible display sheet (known as "soft graphics")
  • this may be attached to the stand by inserting a flanged screw of the type illustrated in Fig. 6 into aperture 27 to serve as a locating peg for a band of resilient material of the type usually found attached to the corner regions of such flexible sheets.
  • Their flexibility requires that they be tensioned when displayed, giving rise to the use of a resilient band.
  • the construction of the framework illustrated in F ig. 1 is such that it may be collapsed into a rectangular form or alternatively into a narrow column with all of the rods 11 substantially parallel.
  • its height may be determined, for example, by a pair of hooks 33 (see Fig. 1) whose remote ends are threaded and can thus be located adjustably within apertures 27 of the removable pegs.
  • Different-sized or adjustable hooks can be included to provide height adjustment for the stand which may accommodate, say, three sizes of panel.
  • each node 10 may carry only those numbers of pairs of lugs 14 required to mount the rods 11 to be attached thereto, although for ease of manufacture, it is expected that a single moulding will be used to produce the nodes 10 which will thus be identical.
  • disc 28 in Fig. 5 may be replaced by a plate having a different shape, for example, similar to nodes 10.
  • a plate generally of the kind illustrated in Fig. 5 or a peg generally of the kind illustrated in Fig. 6 can be integrally moulded with or permanently attached to a peg of the kind illustrated in Fig. 3 thus, in some cases, obviating the need for a screwed connection, although by providing the screw 31, the spacing between disc 28 and the adjacent face of node 10, can be adjusted according to different thicknesses of sheet 30.
  • the tubular rods 11 may be of any cross-sectional shape, and may carry attachment means, for example, for a shelf or other appendage.
