ABSTRACT:
A flexible multi-panel system for use as exhibits, partitions or backdrops in tradeshow, convention, or other such displays is presented. The system includes a flexible panel having a plurality of individual, longitudinal members or segments flexibly interconnected to one another. The panel is capable of being formed into straight, angled and/or curved configurations and includes devices for locking the panel in such desired angular configurations. This locking is accomplished by grooves which are provided at the top and/or bottom of each of the individual flexibly interconnected members. The grooves accept locking devices for rigidizing adjacent segments of the panel into a desired shape. Preferably, a textured carpeting or similar decorative covering material is provided on the outside of each of the longitudinal members with the decorative carpeting acting as the flexible interconnect or hinge between each member. Suitable panel interconnects are provided along the end members of each panel for interlocking one panel with another panel. Preferably, the individual members or segments are comprised of a lightweight material such as a honeycomb plastic or cardboard. At least one of the longitudinal members may be provided with a conduit for accepting electrical wiring.
