ABSTRACT:
The multi-purpose columnar support of this invention is an aesthetically pleasing structural support primarily adapted for use in creating displays for merchandise in stores and exhibits. A tubular column extruded from heavy gauge metal or other structural material and cut to any desired length is the principal element of the columnar support. The diameter of the column is three inches in the illustrated embodiment, but may be of any desired diameter. The extruded column has a core and four holding areas that diverge outwardly from the core to the cylinder wall and support connectors selected from a group of connectors that are each configured to engage and support one or more items of conventional hardware, such as brackets, slotted strips, slatwalls, decorative panels and wire slat grid panels, that are used in the display of merchandise, The unused holding areas are closed by trim caps to provide the appearance of a substantially solid column with an unbroken surface except for the active holding areas.
