Spacer plate and support structure

Abstract

A spacer plate () for interconnecting support profiles () of a display support structure () is described, including at least one alignment opening () for receiving an alignment stud () for aligning a first profile () with respect to a second profile () via the spacer plate (), and at least one connector opening () for receiving a connector bar () for connecting the first profile () to the second profile () via the spacer plate (), wherein the connector opening () is connected to the alignment opening () such that the relative position of the alignment stud () inside the alignment opening () is adjustable by the position of the connector bar () inside the connector opening (). This allows to easily put the alignment stud () into the alignment opening () of the spacer plate () or vice versa and to eliminate all free play between the alignment stud () and the spacer plate () at the same time. The assembly of the support structure () is not hampered. At the same time a self centering of the alignment stud () with respect to the spacer plate () can be forced leading to an increased accuracy, when the profiles () are connected to each other.
