Definitions
- the present invention relates to display units for use in displaying objects and products and to
- One application for a display unit constructed in accordance with the invention is for displaying products for purchase in an aircraft or train or a ship. Mother application for such a display
- unit is as a temporary display in shops and at exhibitions.
- a display unit which is
- a display unit comprises a box-like frame with end walls, a top wall and a base, preferably mounted onto wheels or the like for ease of
- the interior of the display unit can be illuminated by light emitters distributed around the interior and energized by an independent power source carried by the unit.
- the sub-assemblies can each take the form of severed platforms each set in a horizontal or inclined disposition and detachably fitted onto one of several legs of a mounting structure
- This mounting structure can itself be detachably and slidably fitted on a track mounted inside
- each mounting structure has a base plate which slides into a
- Each leg of the mounting structure can be a narrow strip set edge uppermost and the
- platforms have a pair of depending walls adapted to fit onto any one of the legs.
- Such sub- assemblies provide great versatility so that attractive displays of products or goods of various shapes and sizes can be accommodated by selection of the mounting structures and the
- the present invention provides an assembly for use in or for a display which assembly is of modular construction made up of components selected from at least first and
- each component of the first group of components having an array of limbs or legs extending in different directions and each component of the second group of components having means defining a product reception region, which may extend over an area like a platform, and means for detachably fitting the
- the assembly extends over three dimensions with the limbs or legs of one of the components of the first group resembling tree branches and serving as a mounting structure and with a number of components of the second group fitted onto some or
- One or more assemblies as defined above may be mounted into a transportable and lockable carrying case which can be stacked with other similar cases with similar assemblies.
- carrying case can also be formed with transparent walls and with a track for receiving the mounting structure of the or each assembly. Products can be placed onto the reception regions within the carrying case and then re-located, if desired in toto, into a mobile display as defined

- Figure 16 is a perspective view of the unit shown in Figure 5 as fitted with various mounting structures and components.
- a display unit 10 constructed in accordance with the invention takes form of a mobile trolley with dimensions based on that of a standard trolley used for
- the unit or trolley 10 has end walls 1 1, 12, a base 13 and a top wall 14 Wheels or castors 15 are fitted to the base 13 The sides of the trolley 10 are open, or closed off with transparent
- the trolley 10 is used to display products set up in its interior
- the trolley 10 has a compartment 16 containing a power and light source such as one or more battery packs driving light bulbs which are connected via fibre optic cables to provide light emitters 17 distributed
- the emitters 17 preferably employ directional and focusing controls.
- like reference numerals denote like parts to Figures 1
- This unit 10 has a pair of tracks 18, 19 which are conveniently accessible as shown by
- Each track 18, 19 takes the form of an elongate rail with a channel 22 of T-shaped cross-section as shown in Figure 6
- Cross- pieces 20 serve for mounting the rail to the inte ⁇ or of the trolley 10
- a mounting structure 21 such as any of those represented in Figures 7 to 10 can be detachably fitted onto one of the tracks 18, 19 by sliding a base plate 23 of the structure 21 into the channel 22 of the track 18.
- 19 Figures 7 to 9 show a variety of mounting structure 21 which
- structures 21, 21', 21" are designed to be used with a number of components 25 as illustrated
- each component 25 has a pair of spaced-apart walls 26, 27 adapted to fit onto one of the limbs or legs 24 of one of the mounting structures 21, 21'
- Each component 25 has some region which
- the unit 10 In most cases the product reception region is on one or several platforms 38 which take a horizontal or inclined disposition and define an area. Also shown in Figure 1 1 are components 25', 25" without such a platform 38 The component 25' has a cross-like
- reception region 38' and the component 25" is a hollow cylinder, both useful for draping or
- Some of the platforms 38 are in the form of trays with one or more lips 40 at the edges
- the mounting structures 21', 21 " shown in Figure 10 may also serve directly as the display components 25.
- Figures 12 and 13 illustrate how a variety of combinations of the mounting structures 21, 21', 21 ", and components 25, 25', 25" can be assembled to provide sub-assemblies 39 usable in the
