Modular display system

Abstract

A modular display system having individual stackable electronic display panels of convenient and portable size and mounting structures for the support thereof where the stackable electronic display panels mutually juxtapose, mate, and robustly and mutually and adjustably secure together by the use of connector plates at the top of stackable electronic display panels interfacing with interlocking lower connector assemblies and lower connector plate receptors at the bottom of an overhead vertically situated stackable electronic display panel and by interfacing of latches and cams of latch keeper assemblies at the sides of horizontally situated stackable electronic display panels to form a large electronic sign display. Spring-loaded slide pin assemblies foster rapid and secure connection between vertically situated stackable electronic display panels. Adjustment features are also incorporated to align each stackable electronic display panel.

Benefits of technology

[0006] The general purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular display system including stackable electronic display panels and mounting structure which is easily transported and erected. The modular display system, the present invention, includes a plurality of stackable electronic display panels each removably attached with one or more adjacent stackable electronic display panels to form a display. Each individual stackable electronic display panel is constructed of a connector framework and a light emitting diode (LED) display module attached thereto by a mutually engaging centrally located LED display module latching system. Each connector framework includes and utilizes connector plates at the top of the connector framework, front connector plate receptors at the bottom of the connector framework having spring-loaded slide pins in alignment thereto, rear connector plate receptors in rear connector assemblies including spring-loaded slide pins and slide pin housings aligned thereto at the bottom and rear of the connector framework, side latch assemblies, side latch keeper assemblies each having an adjustment cam, a plurality of spring-loaded ball detents and detent receptors, and other components for removable attachment, alignment and juxtaposition of adjacent stackable electronic display panels. Vertically stacked stackable electronic display panels are attached utilizi
