Abstract
A tubular support display system (10) is provided for displaying articles mounted thereon. The tubular support display system (10) includes at least one tubular post member (20) having at least one slotted through opening (22) formed therein. A display member (30) is releasably coupled to the tubular post member by an attachment system (40). The attachment system (40) includes a plate member (42), a fastening assembly (50), and at least one pin member (60). Display member (30) is fixedly coupled to a first surface (44) of plate member (42), while pin member (60) is fixedly coupled on a second surface (46) of plate member (42). The fastening assembly (50) includes a head member (52) coupled to a threaded member (54), having an opposing end (55) to which a clamp member (56) is threadedly coupled. Treaded member (54) passes through an opening (48) formed in plate member (42) and passing between first surface (44) and second surface (46). Plate member (42) is clamped to tubular post member (20) by inserting clamp member (56) and pin member (60) into the tubular post cavity (26) by passing through the slotted opening (22); rotating clamp member (56) approximately 90.degree.; retracting the fastening assembly (50) such that clamp member (56) rests against the inner surface (24) of tubular post member (20); and, rotating threaded member (54) to draw head member (52) toward clamp member (56), thereby clamping plate member (42) and display member (30), attached thereon, to tubular post member (20).
