  • Patent number: 11633052
    Abstract: An adjustable truss structure is provided and includes a truss member with a first channel attached to the truss member, the first channel having a first slot, and a rail having a second slot with an anchor attached to the rail. The anchor has a member rotatable to a first position where the member is insertable into the first slot and rotatable to a second position to engage with a surface of the first channel, enabling the rail to be selectively moved relative to the first channel and locked into a fixed position relative to the first channel. The adjustable truss structure also includes a support member having a second channel, the second channel being hooked into the second slot and being slidable in the second slot.

  • Patent number: 10376076
    Abstract: An adjustable truss structure for a display is provided and includes a vertical truss member, a vertical channel having a vertical slot therein, the vertical channel being attached to the vertical truss member, and a horizontal rail having a horizontal slot. An anchor is attached to the horizontal rail. The anchor has a member rotatable to a first position where the member is insertable into the vertical slot and rotatable to a second position to engage with a surface of the vertical channel, thereby enabling the horizontal rail to be selectively moved up and down the vertical channel and locked into a selected fixed position with respect to the vertical channel. A support member has a channel with a U-shaped cross-section, the channel being hooked into the horizontal slot of the horizontal rail and being horizontally slidable in the horizontal slot.
