Folding truss member for a display

Abstract

A portable display system having a plurality of truss members and a plurality of connection structures for interconnecting the plurality of truss members to form the display structure. Each of the plurality of truss members include at least a pair of brace members, each brace member having a pair of spaced apart, generally parallel frame tubular members rigidly and non-rotatably interconnected by a plurality of fixed wire members. Each tubular member includes a contiguous exterior surface, and each of said plurality of fixed wire members are secured to both contiguous exterior surfaces of the tubular members. A pair of pivoting wire member are each pivotally secured to both brace members, so that each of the plurality of truss members are capable of being placed in a deployed condition from a flattened condition by pivoting the first and second pivoting wire members relative to the first and second brace members.
