  • Patent number: 4933824
    Abstract: An illuminated panel is provided for use in a display panel system. The illuminated panel includes a frame having opposed peripheral segments which delimit a predetermined area. A cover piece of a material pervious to light rays is mounted on the front side of the frame and overlies the predetermined area. A collapsible housing adjustable between operative and inoperative modes, is mounted on the back side of the frame and includes a pair of foldable wall sections having first portions connected to first opposed peripheral segments of the frame. When the housing is in the operative mode, second portions of the wall sections extend angularly rearwardly from the frame back side and cooperate to form a cavity for accommodating a removable light source. When the housing is in the inoperative mode, the wall sections are disposed in proximate overlying relation with the cover piece.

  • Patent number: 4865111
    Abstract: A display system is provided having a plurality of interconnected display panels relatively adjustable to form an upright partition. At least one of the panels is an end panel having an exposed upright edge. A trim assembly is also provided which includes a wall member of relatively stiff, yet bendable, material removably mounted on and concealing the end panel upright edge. The wall member is provided with opposed substantially inflexible marginal segments to which are connected bracing elements. The bracing elements are adapted to selectively engage one another and maintain the trim wall member in a predetermined non-planar configuration when the wall member is mounted on the end panel upright edge. When the wall member is disengaged from the end panel upright edge and the bracing elements are disengaged from one another, the wall member may assume a substantially planar configuration.

  • Patent number: 4823858
    Abstract: An improved display panel and hinge system is provided having a plurality of display panels arranged in side by side relation and hingedly interconnected whereby one of the panels is capable of being selectively rotated relative to the other panel through a maximum arc of substantially 360.degree.. The panels, when in parallel face to face relation, form a compact unit suitable for storage or transport.

  • Patent number: 4700498
    Abstract: A portable display apparatus is provided having a display section adapted to assume either an operative or inoperative mode. When in an operative mode, the display section assumes an upright substantially partition-like configuration having a large exposed display surface. When in an inoperative mode, the display section assumes a collapsed condition and forms a compact unit suitable for storage. The display section is maintained and supported in the operative mode by structural members. A first set of structural members supportingly and removably engage opposed peripheral portions of the exposed display surface. A second set of structural members are operatively and removably connected to the first set of structural members and maintain the display section in a selected operative mode.
