mounting slots 23 are provided in the narrow side to allow the to enable easy orientation, insertion, connection and disconnection of compartment holders opposite the items. These subjects their brackets are generally designated by 24. The compartments, compartment brackets and slots are conventional Form provided and do not form part of the invention.

The inwardly pointing broad side of each of the end posts 10, 11 is provided with channels 25 extending in the longitudinal direction. At the top of each end post, just above the end of the channels 25, a fastener 26 is provided on the Attack end hooks 27, one at each end of the first terminating part 18, so that the end posts 10, 11 during assembly to connect with each other. At the lower end of each of the end posts 10, 11 a connecting hook 28 is provided, which is mounted in the State engages in the channel 9, which is formed between the rods I6a, 16b, on the inserts 20. The free The end of each of the shed sheets is provided with a slot 29, and the stabilizing rod 15 is provided with counter slots 30, one at each end. This creates means for effectively connecting the two stabilizing rods to one another. A first bottom compartment 31 is supported by the specialist leaves 12, 13, the inner edge 32 of which with a downwardly directed Flange 32a is provided which, in the assembled state, engages in channel 9 between rods 16a, 16b. In the assembled State is a rear wall 8 in the intended position

fastened by engaging its upright edges in the channels 25 and in that its upper edge engages in channel 19, while its lower edge is inserted into U-channel 31a.

The illustrated embodiment further comprises the two intermediate units C and D, which are through an intermediate post F are connected to each other, which is constructed similarly to the first-mentioned intermediate items and the assembled intermediate braces are connected to the intermediate posts of the end units.

The intermediate dressing comprises an additional intermediate post 33 and a horizontal sheet 34, which is made of spaced apart Rods 34a, 34b is formed to form a channel 35 therebetween. The post 33 rises vertically upward from the center between the ends of horizontal sheet 34. As can be seen, post 33 and horizontal sheet 34 are the post 17 or sheet 16 is similar. They are even interchangeable with one another. Aligned with post 33 on rod 34a a splitter support bracket 36 and the like Bracket (not shown) sits on rod 34b. The horizontal rod 34 has support legs 37, 38 with height adjustment Mistake.

The unit C further comprises a second bottom compartment which is divided into two respective halves 39, 40, each half

Has end flanges 41, 42 which engage in channel 35 and in channel 9 formed between rods 16a, 16b. the rear inner corners of the bottom compartment halves 39, 40 are at 41a, 42a recessed to accommodate the bottom part of posts 17 and 33, said inner corners being supported on the holder 36 on the rod 33 and on a corresponding holder 43 on the rod 16b are. A first divider 44, in the present case a pin plate, sits between the posts 17 and 33, the upright edges in the channel 45 of the post 17 and in the channel 46 of the post 33 engage. A second closure part 47, similar the first end part 18, detachably connects the post 33 to the intermediate post 17 by fasteners 16a and connecting hooks 27 a corresponding to the fasteners 16 and the end hooks 27. The first divider 44 engages in the mounted state with its upper edge in the U-profile in second terminating part 47 a. Stabilizing clips are used to achieve alignment and stabilization of the rear wall

48, which are shown in Fig. 5a, welded into the channel.

The third intermediate unit D has a similar structure and consists from a third bottom compartment that is divided into two half-sections

49, 50 is divided, and from a third terminating part 41, which is similar to the second terminating part 47 in its construction.

Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the intermediate post 17 with the first end part 18 by complementary connecting

means 52, 53 is connected. It can also be seen that when referring to FIG. 1, units C and D have the common Have intermediate items 33.

The following is a description of the quick and easy assembly of the exhibition stand.

The first step is to assemble each of the end units A and B. Both are assembled in exactly the same way, and therefore only the assembly of unit A is described. The end posts 10, 11 are connected to the horizontal sheet 16, by inserting the hooks 28 into the channel 9. The intermediate post 17 is thus in the middle between the two end posts set. Thereafter, the stabilizing rod 15 is inserted into the slots 29, 30 in the specialist leaves 12, 13 to thereby to effectively connect and stabilize the end posts 10, 11 at their lowermost connection points. The bottom tray 31 is then placed on the sheets 12, 13 with the stiffeners 54 set at the bottom of the tray and which engage in notches 55 formed in the upper edge of the tray sheets. At the same time the falls Flange 32a in the channel 9 between the horizontal blade parts 16a, 16b. The end unit A is now for receiving the rear wall 8 ready, which is inserted down into the post channels 25. The next step is to join the top ends together the end posts 10, 11 by inserting the first terminating part 16

in the intended position, with the end hooks 27 on the fastening elements 26 attack, and the end part 18 is also with the intermediate post 17 with the complementary connecting means 52, 53 connected.

The intermediate post unit F is then placed in the middle between the two mounted end units. The second and third Bottom compartments are then arranged on the relevant horizontal leaves by the flanges 41, 42 of the relevant Bottom compartment halves 39, 40, 49 and 50 are inserted into the relevant channels 9 and 35. The first and the second divider 44, 45 are then brought into the intended position, with their vertical edges in the relevant channels 45, 46 of the relevant Intermediate posts 17 and 33 are seated. The second final part 47 and the third closure part 51 are then brought into the intended position, as shown, to the to connect upper ends of the three intermediate posts together with the upper edge of the second and third end part.

The front edge of each of the bottom compartment halves is recessed on the vertical edge 41, as indicated at 56, so that the Flanges between the insert 20 are locked so that the bottom compartments do not move forward on the horizontal leaves, on which they sit.
