ABSTRACT: A panel display arrangement comprising a panel unit presenting one or more faces on which articles to be displayed are carried. The unit comprises a pair of facially disposed flat panel members which are arranged with spacing between them and with a plurality of supporting rods arranged between the panel members and passing through the spacing between them. Tongues or lips are struck from one of the panel members and these tongues or lips frictionally engage against the rods to hold the same in required spaced relation while maintaining the panel unit from shift along the rods, and for connecting two of the panel units together an ovate plate having wedge surfaces can be inserted in the spacing between the panel members of two adjacent panel units.

INVENTOR. A/ E f/zu 7395A e ARRANGEMENT DEVICE The present invention relates to an arrangement particularly adapted for display purposes and wherein a number of articles for sale or display are held on panels.
The arrangement, according to the invention, consists of a number of basic components, such as plates or panels of substantially triangular shape, with means for supporting such panels in certain relationships. For example, two of the panels units may be arranged in a position in which they are disposed in side-by-side relation with spacing between them, or they may be arranged in coupled, contacting relation. Each of the panel units is composed of two panel sections or members disposed in facial, spaced relation, thus providing for spacing between these sections for the introduction of supporting rods.
The panel members may, if desired, be of a foraminous nature, or may have uniformly spaced holes, pegs or other elements for the reception and support of the articles to be displayed. The rods or bars on which the panels are supported pass through the spacing between the panel members and are positioned in such spacing by means of guide lips or tongues formed out of one of the panel members.
In the accompanying drawing, wherein an illustrative embodiment of the invention is disclosed;
FIG. I is aperspective view of the display arrangement, wherein one of the panels has one of its face portions omitted and has other parts fragmentarily shown;
FlG. 2 shows how two of the duplex panels can be coupled together by means of an ovate coupling plate of the type shown in FIG. 3, and
FIG. 3 shows one of the coupling plates.
Referring to the drawing, there is therein shown at I, one of the display panel units and which is composed of two triangular panel members indicated respectively at la and lb. The outer panel la is provided with a number of holes 4 for use in coupling said panel member to the similarly shaped rear panel member lb. The panel members la and 1b can, for example, be molded from plastic or pressed composition material and can be in the triangular shape disclosed. When the panel members are coupled together a duplex panel unit is the result.
The two panel members la and lb in each of the duplex units 1 can be connected together in spaced facial disposition by means of the plugs 5 on the panel member 1b entering the holes 4 in the panel member la. This provides for the spacing 3 between the 'two panel members and lb.
Provided on the back of one of the panel members are struckout tongues or lips 7 arranged in spaced-apart relation and these tongues or lips act to confine a plurality of supporting rods or bars 8 in spaced relation as shown in FIG. I.
An example of the manner in which the display panel units can be arranged is shown in FIG. 1. Two of the units are arranged on the supporting rods 8 in side-by-side relation. The guide lips or tongues 7 engage the rods 8 with sufficient friction to prevent any unintentional sliding movement along the rods. The guide lips 7 are so arranged that the supporting rods 8 can be introduced from either side of a panel unit and the panel units can be supported along the rods in any suitable spaced relationship.
When it is desired to unite two of the the duplex panel units in contacting or contiguous relationship, this can be done by the use of a coupling plate of the type shown in FIG. 3. Such plate is shown to be of ovate form and is provided with a number of raised protuberances 10 which serve as wedging elements. When one of the plates is arranged as shown in FIG. 2 and is disposed between the panel members la and lb, the two panel units when brought together will be maintained in edgewise coupled contact as shown in FIG. 2.
When the arrangement is disposed as herein described or in numerous other ways, articles borne by or disposed against the outer faces of either or both of the panel members Ia or lb will be effectively displayed.

e. said guide means includes projections located on one of the panel members;
f. said projections extending across the spacing between the panel members and having contacting surfaces which frictionally engage the support members to hold the panel unit against shifting movement along the support members.
2. A display assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein the projections are triangulated tongues struck from one of the panel members.
3. A display assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said connecting means includes plugs on one of the panel members extending into holes in the other panel members to unite'the panel members in spaced relationship with respect to each other.
4. A display assembly as defined in claim 3 wherein:
' the projections are traingulated tongues struck from one of the panel members; and
said support members are rods passing between the panel members.
5. A display assembly as defined in claim 1 including;
linking means to attach a first panel unit to another adjacent panel unit; and
said guide means has a structural configuration to receive the linking means frictionally disposed between the panel members.
6. A display assembly as defined in claim 5 wherein there are two panel units, the first panel unit is disposed in edgewise contact with the second panel unit. v
7. A display assembly as defined in claim 6 wherein said linking means includes a plate member frictionally inserted between the panel members of each of the units along the contacting edges thereof to hold the units against separation.
8. A display assembly as defined in claim 7 wherein said plate member includes a wedging surface that engages the panel members.
9. A display assembly comprising:
a. at least one panel unit including means connecting a pair of panel members having surfaces facially disposed with respect to each other to form a spacing between the panel members;
b. said panel members having similarly shaped peripheral configurations;
c. at least one of the panel members including means to bear display objects on an outwardly directed surface thereof;
d. linking means to attach a first panel unit to another adjacent panel unit; and
e. guide means disposed between the pair of panel members to receive support members frictionally engaging the panel unit between the panel members;
f. said guide means has a structural configuration to receive the linking means frictionally disposed between the panel members.
