ABSTRACT:
A structural system that is particularly useful for temporary exhibitions and trade shows by which structures may be quickly and easily assembled, rearranged, and disassembled by simple procedures requiring few or no tools, using a minimum number of components having a high degree of interchangeability. Posts are provided each having a series of preformed holes arranged along its sides with predetermined spacing, and panels are provided each having pairs of alignment pins symmetrically arranged on both faces and adjacent both ends and also having an intermediate hole adjacent both ends thereof, whose longitudinal axes are perpendicular to the faces of each panel. A panel is aligned with a post by inserting the alignment pins adjacent an end of said panel into corresponding holes in the post, and the panel is secured to the post by inserting a fastener through the hole in the panel and into locking engagement with a corresponding hole in the post. Angle brackets each having two faces disposed at predetermined angles to each other are also provided by which panels may be mounted at predetermined angles to posts. One face of each such angle bracket comprises a panel mount adapted to be secured to panels, and another face of the angle bracket comprises a post mount adapted to be secured to posts, each mount using the alignment pin and connection means of the invention. The panels serve both a structural and decorative function, and the structural system provides significant flexibility in the arrangement of structures which can be made from these components.
