Abstract: The storage and transport system for collapsible tradeshow displays preferably comprises a crate and framework in combination with components of a collapsible display system. By providing a crate and framework for more vertical storing and accessing the components and for organizing the components as they are placed in the crate, users may more efficiently set up and tear down the display system where there is limited floor space. The crate is durable and the framework securely holds components in place for safe and secure transportation.

Abstract: A support and attachment brace for a collapsible display structure. The support and attachment brace is attachable between two vertically adjacent hubs of the collapsible display structure, and includes an elongated rigid bar or brace with opposing ends. A first end has a tab with an aperture adapted to receive and engage a fastening button projecting from a first hub assembly. The second end has a slide mechanism having a slide with an open notch. The slide is retractable so that the brace may be aligned with a fastening button projecting from the second hub without the need for forcing the hubs apart. Once in position, the slide is extendable so that the open notch is engaged with the fastening button of the second hub. The support and attachment brace is adapted so as to enable multiple support and attachment braces to be attached to the structure in a vertical column arrangement for providing vertical support and rigidity to the display structure.

Abstract: A hub assembly for pivotally connecting the ends of support rods of a portable self-supporting display structure configured for a collapsed storage position and an expanded display position. The hub assembly may include first and second members and a connector. The first and second members are mated to provide bearing surfaces and to accommodate pivot pins affixed to the support rods. The connector secures the mated first and second members together by being extended through bores in the mated first and second members.

Abstract: A panel used for display purposes comprises a frame having corner members that are molded in identical halves and snapped together. The corner members are provided with T-slots along the outer edges that will receive slidable members. A detent extends into the T-slot to engage the slidable members slid into the T-slot to hold them in position. The corner members include tangs for receiving extrusions for forming edge frames for the panel, with the corner members holding the frame in an assembly. The corner members have receptacles for receiving pins or shanks that can be latched in place with a latch member sliding in the T-slot on at least one of the legs of the respective corner member.

Abstract: A folding top used on various pedestals is made in two sections that abut along a parting line and are urged toward the parting line by an elastic cord that provides a resilient force at two spaced locations along the parting line. The cord is a peripheral type cord that fits into a receptacle encircling the countertop on an underside thereof and within the periphery. The countertop has a flange that fits over the top of the pedestal for mounting in place and using it as a countertop. The countertop is foldable when the two sections are separated along a parting line for storage and transportation, and the pedestal is for storage cases used for storing and transporting display panels and display panel frames.
