Abstract: The present invention is a display framing apparatus utilizing a unique side frame member positioned on the side of a display panel. The side frame member has a cavity extending its length and opening at its opposite ends and an assembly structure located within the cavity for quick connection and disconnection of the side frame member to the frame of other panels. The assembly structure has a connection member selectively engageable with and disengageable from the frame of another panel, and an extensible member securing the connection member within the cavity for movement of the connection member by elongation of the extensible member between an inoperative position housed within said cavity and an engaged position wherein the connection device may be engaged with the frame of another individual panel.

Abstract: An improved display framing apparatus including panel frame members for bordering individual display panels and connecting frame members for joining panel assemblies as a booth, exhibit or other display assembly. The connecting frame members extend vertically intermediate adjacent panel assemblies and each provides two or more receiving channels into which jaw arrangements extending from horizontally disposed panel frame members are inserted and engaged. Each jaw arrangement includes a pair of pivotably connected jaw members between which is disposed a slide member movable toward and away from the pivot axis of the jaw members respectively for permitting their movement toward one another for insertion and removal from the associated channel and for actuating their movement apart for gripping engagement interiorly of the associated channel.
