  • Publication number: 20230309717
    Abstract: Embodiments include display panel connecting rod assemblies and display panel systems including display panel connecting rod assemblies. Alternative embodiments include methods of assembling a display panel system using connecting rod assemblies. Display panel connecting rod assemblies may include a central rod portion, a first terminal baseplate connected to a first end of the central rod portion, and a second terminal baseplate connected to a second end of the central rod portion, positioned away from the first end of the central rod portion. The first and second terminal baseplates are configured to engage with and support corresponding display panels, in some cases without the use of tools.

  • Patent number: 11672361
    Abstract: Methods of attaching hooks, fixtures, assemblies, brackets, shelves, attachment points, supports, tools, bins, and similar apparatus to a display panel. Some disclosed attachments include a baseplate having a rotational axis around which the baseplate is rotated during installation. The baseplate defines at least one clearance providing clearance between the baseplate perimeter edge and a display panel when the baseplate is rotated into position. The baseplate may also include at least one engagement portion limiting the baseplate from being further rotated around the baseplate axis in the installation direction, upon engagement with the display.

  • Patent number: 8033404
    Abstract: A modular double-sided display panel including multiple slat members. Each slat member has an upper engagement portion and a lower engagement portion. A panel may be constructed from multiple slat members by serially interconnecting generally horizontally disposed slat members in a vertical chain. In particular, the serial interconnection between adjacent slat members occurs by placing the lower engagement portion of a first slat member over the upper engagement portion of an adjacent second slat member in a substantially vertical chain until a suitable number of slats have been thus interconnected. The assembled slat members will define two opposing surfaces, each of which can receive hooks, supports or other display apparatus.
