BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a display unit and more particularly to an end section that can be adapted for simple coaction with the edge-part of the display unit.
More particularly, the end section adapted for coaction with an edge part of a display will have a curved and closed form when seen in cross-section, formed from a bendable sheet having mutually opposing edge-parts provided with coupling elements that form part of a two-part coupling means.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND ART
It is known in the art to construct a display unit with integrated end sections that have a curved and closed form in cross-section.
By way of example of the known prior art, reference is made to the disclosures made in International Patent Application PCT/SE94(00905 (Publication No. WO 95/10104). This publication describes and illustrates a picture or image display unit which is comprised of a picture-supporting sheet-like carrier whose outer shape is such as to form two mutually opposing edges, wherein the carrier has a rigidity and flexibility such as to enable the carrier to be readily curved.
Each of the aforesaid edges shall be adapted to form a first part of a two-part coupling means and/or such as to coact with a first part of a two-part coupling means, of which the other part is fastened to the carrier at a distance from said edge.
There is thus formed an edge-orientated carrier section and the aforesaid distance is so adapted as to enable the carrier section to be brought to an essentially tubular configuration within the confines of said distance for mutual coaction between the first and the second parts of the coupling means, wherein two lateral tubular configurations and their allotted and integrated edge-related carrier sections serve as supports for a central carrier section orientated therebetween.
Other types of display units of the kind to which the present invention relates and which can be easily erected or developed and collapsed and where separate section-embracing frames within display unit form a flexurally rigid unit are also known to the art.
Display units of this kind are comprised of a number of sections where each section is delimited by a flexurally rigid sheet or panel holding frame structure.
An example of a construction of the aforesaid kind is described and illustrated in FIG. 1 of the European Patent Application 92 91 2282.8, which relates to a system sold under the trade designation "Original 8" by Maxibit AB, Stockholm, Sweden.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
When considering the earlier state of the art as described above, it will be seen that a technical problem is one of creating conditions with the aid of simple means that will enable a readily erectable and dismountable display unit that comprises a number of flexurally rigid sections to be readily supplemented with one or two end sections that have a curved and closed form in cross-section.
It will also be seen that a technical problem is one of providing with the aid of simple means end sections that have a closed circular cross-section, where the end section is comprised of a bendable sheet and a rail.
It will also be seen that another technical problem is one of providing with the aid of simple means conditions which will enable a sub-section of an end section to be applied to laterally positioned sections of an edge-related frame of the display unit in line with an exposable front surface of an adjacent section.
It will also be seen that a technical problem is one of providing an end section which will enable another sub-section to define right angles with a front surface belonging to the section when required and without modifying the construction.
In the case of an end section comprised of a bendable sheet having mutually opposed edge-parts which are each provided with a first coupling element of a respective two-part coupling means, it will be seen that a technical problem resides in creating conditions whereby respective other corresponding coupling elements of respecti
