Abstract: This invention is concerned with a panel device which is useful in the display and furniture arts, the panel device incorporates a plurality of vertical supports which engage a plurality of panel members which are positioned in a planar relationship with each other, further the vertical supports are adapted to receive arcuate panel members, the planar and arcuate panels as used may be readily detached from each other, the planar panel members are pivotally attached to each other, the arcuate panel has two display surfaces, the arcuate panel may be readily converted from an arcuate to a flat stance for storage, further the planar and arcuate panels may be folded one on each other for storage, the arcuate panel section may be bent in either of two directions so as to provide a choice of either side to be utilized as the "showside" display surface.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with a panel device which is useful in the display and furniture arts, the panel device is formed from a plurality of panels which are securely locked into a three axis relationship with each other, the vertical edges of the individual panels incorporate undercut grooves, the vertical edges of the individual panels are provided with opposing guide pins which generally retain the panels in relation to each other, the individual panels are further provided with opposing locking lugs and a biased lock which retain the panels in relation to each other, the panel device may be readily converted from a set up to a flat stance one on each other for storage, in one embodiment at least the vertical edges of the individual display panels are provided with undercut H shaped channels that are secured in grooves that are routed into the edges of the panels, these H shaped channels further interact with the guide pins, locking lugs and the biased lock.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a foldable panel device which is useful in the display arts. The foldable panel device is particularly useful as a portable display for use at trade shows. The foldable panel device incorporates a pair of upper and lower panel sections which are pivotally connected to each other on a horizontal plane. The upper and lower panel sections have lateral panels connected thereto and which are capable of depending outwardly therefrom for display purposes. It is preferred that two lateral panels depend outwardly from each vertical side of said upper and lower panel sections.

Abstract: This invention is converned with a panel device which is useful in the display and furniture arts. The panel device incorporates a plurality of vertical supports which engage panel members. The vertical supports are interconnected via a plurality of double hinges. The double hinges consist of a plurality of clip hinge members. Each double hinge consists of at least two clip hinge members. Pairs of parallel vertical supports are interconnected by a pair of double hinges said double hinges comprising at least four clip hinge elements. The clip hinge elements are formed from a ribbon of a suitable flexible material. The ends of the clip hinge members incorporate opposing double reverse bends which are adapted to engage and be secured in U shaped channels which are an integral part of the vertical support members. The reverse bends may further incorporate locking tabs to assist in securing the clip hinge elements into the vertical supports.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with a reinforced panel device which is useful in the display and furniture arts. The reinforced panel device consist of a base and a header. By placement of the header on the base the various panel sections which make up the base are locked into a plumar relationship with each other. the base section of the reinforced panel device comprises a plurality of panel sections which are pivotly connected to each other. The header may comprise a single panel section or a plurality of panel sections which are pivotly connected to each other. The header may be permanently or detachably attached to the base. In accordance with the preferred embodiment the header is attached to the base via a connector plug having a camming end and a hook end.

Abstract: This invention relates to connector systems for portable display devices. The connectors of this invention allow adjoining panels of the display device to be joined to each other and be moved in pivotal relationship with each other. The connector consists of a male member which is secured to a channel which is an integral part of the display device and a connector plate which joins two or more channels together. When the channels are joined using the connector of this invention, the channels and their associated display panels may be pivotally disposed in relationship to each other.
