Abstract: A modular tiered rack assembly includes at least two merchandise support racks suspended in a tiered configuration and brackets for fixing the tiers of racks to a support structure. Each rack has formations which enable it to be fixed to the brackets and/or to the rack above it in the tiered configuration. The brackets include an anchor bracket engageable with the support structure and the uppermost rack and at least one hanger bracket removably suspendable from the anchor bracket. The anchor and hanger brackets have landings for supporting the base of a rack. The racks are fixed to the brackets by suction pads and act as tie elements, whereby the structure formed by the brackets and the tie elements is of a stable construction. The tie elements can be one or more of the racks or a separate tie bar.

Abstract: A construction including at least two thin panels (1,2) of lightweight material which are engaged to one another by at least one connector (10) manufactured from a tough material such as polycarbonate. The connector has a socket (11) rigidly secured to the panel (2), and a resilient clip (13) disengagedly connected to the second panel (1) through an orifice (19) in the second panel (1). The construction can be configured in many different ways to provide display units, merchandising units and multi-sided units. For example, for merchandising or display purposes, the construction may be in the forms of a cube structure (221) or a cruciform-type quad structure (241), and for display or barrier purposes, the construction may be configured as a wall (291).
