ABSTRACT:
A collapsible reflector unit (70) is disclosed in its preferred form for use in quick-erect portable display structures particularly adapted for temporary tradeshow booths. Unit (70) generally includes a reflector enclosure (74) formed of vinyl coated, fire retardant, flexible fabric attached to the display structure frame (9) around its periphery by a two-part fastening tape (124). The reflector enclosure (74) is supported in a tent-like manner away from the frame (9) by a support frame (72) including flexible rods (78, 80) removably anchored to the frame (9) and extending arcuately from the frame (9). The central segments (84) of the rods (78, 80) are held rearwardly of the frame (9) by interposing rods (92) therebetween, with the rods (92) having extensions (98, 100) extending contiguously therefrom and having their free ends removably anchored to the frame (9) intermediate the anchor locations of the flexible rods (78, 80). A light system (76) is removably attached to the rods (92 ) by clips (104). The light system (76) includes diffuser plates (118) which may be removably attached to flourescent bulbs (114) by clips (120, 122), with the bulbs (114) in turn removably attached to an electric box (106) by sockets (112) and clips (116). In the most preferred form, the flexible rods (78, 80) are formed by segments (82, 84, 86) removably attached together by fittings (88, 90). The fittings (94) between the rods (92) and their extensions (98, 100) include a bore (96) for slideably receiving the flexible rods (78, 80) for attaching them to rods (82) and their extensions (98, 100).
