  • Patent number: 10037721
    Abstract: A display apparatus 10 and a support arrangement 16 and flexible display member 14. A support arrangement 16 includes an elongate support member 44 with an upper transverse member 54 at its upper end, and urge resiliently upwardly therefrom. A lower transverse member 48 is provided the lower end of the elongate support member 44. The upward resilient urging of the upper transverse members 54 applies tension to a display member extending between the lower and upper transverse members 48, 54.

  • Patent number: 9560924
    Abstract: A connection assembly 10 usable for interconnecting two elongate frame members 12 which each include a channel 14. An elongate link member 22 is locatable in the channels 14 of the adjacent members 12 and extending therebetween. A respective connection assembly 20 is locatable in each of the channels 14 to engage against the link member 22 and retain same in the respective channel 14. Each connection assembly 20 is selectively movable between an engaged and a disengaged condition to respectively connect the two frame members 12, or permit the frame members 12 to be pulled apart.

  • Patent number: 8973642
    Abstract: A display assembly 10 in the form of at least two interconnected display stands 12A, 12B. Each of the stands 12 includes a spaced pair of vertically extending support members 14 mounted on feet 16. A flexible display member 18 extends between the support members 14 and is held taut thereby. A support arrangement 20 in the form of five pivotally interconnected link members 36, extends between the support members 14 immediately above the feet 16. For adjacent display stands 12, a common support member 14 forms part of each display stand 12.

  • Patent number: 8403588
    Abstract: A connection assembly 10 usable for interconnecting two extruded square section aluminium elongate members 12. The assembly 10 includes a frame member 18 which locates in an end of the elongate member 12, with a pair of engagement members 28, 38 extending from the elongate member 12. A second engagement member 38 is movable relative to the first engagement member 28 so as to grip in a channel 14 on the other of the elongate members 12 to hold the elongate members 12 together. The second engagement member 38 is movable by a pivotally mounted handle 52 which extends outwardly from the elongate member 12 when the assembly 10 is in an unlocked condition, but locates substantially wholly within a channel 14 when the assembly 10 is in a locked condition.
