Abstract

A portable trade show display panel system is provided including a plurality of display panels, the system being readily manually transportable by an end user. The system comprises a plurality of panel members, elongate hinge members attached to the sides of adjacent panel members for rotational movement by at least one adjacent panel member with respect to the other about the longitudinal axis of the elongate hinge members. A protective outer covering surrounds each panel member and elongate hinge member forming display panels. The protective outer covering is connected to the panel members by frictional engagement within the confines of the longitudinally-extending slots. Finally, a device for interconnecting adjacent display panels one to the other is provided. In this way fixed, aligned positioning of the adjacent display panels one with respect to each other will occur while also facilitating rotational movement of the adjacent display panels about the longitudinal axis of the elongate hinge members so that the portable trade show display panel system can be arranged in a stable upright position for visual inspection by trade show participants.
