Abstract

A display stand for displays (11), comprising a pole (12) supporting the displays (11). A base plate (13) is arranged to support the pole (12), and the displays (11) are connected to a strip (45) being displaceable inside the pole in the longitudinal direction thereof, so that the displays are arranged in a row one above the other.

Claims

1. A display stand for displays (11), comprising a pole (12) supporting the displays (11), wherein a supporting means (13) is arranged to support the pole (12), characterised in

that the displays (11) are jointly connected to a strip (45) being displaceable inside the pole (12) in the longitudinal direction thereof, so that the displays are arranged in a row one above the other, and

that the displays are jointly supported by an attachment fitting projecting from the strip and through a longitudinal slot in the pole.

2. A display stand as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pole (12) comprises an elongated profile having a rectangular cross section, wherein a long side of the profile is arranged with an open portion along substantially the entire length of the profile and wherein a door (50) is articulately arranged on the profile for closing the opening while leaving an elongated groove.

3. A display stand as claimed in claim 2, wherein a partition wall (41) extending between the long sides of the profile is arranged with a recess (42) forming a groove (44) extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile and wherein the strip (45) is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the groove (44).

4. A display stand as claimed in claim 3, wherein a lock device is arranged to press the strip (45) against the partition wall (41) to make height adjustment of the displays (11) possible.

5. A display stand as claimed in claim 4, wherein the lock device comprises a screw (46) being screwed into a threaded hole in the strip, and a washer (48) arranged between a head (47) of the screw (46) and the partition wall (41) and being in contact with the partition wall (41).

6. A display stand as claimed in claim 1, wherein the supporting means is formed as a base plate.

7. A display stand as claimed in claim 1, wherein a lower portion of the display stand is provided with at least one wheel being rotatable around an axle and projecting from the lower portion of the display stand in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pole (12), wherein the display stand is arranged pivotally around the axle of the wheel from a first position, in which the display stand is supported by the supporting means (13), to a second position, in which the display stand is supported by the wheel.

8. A display stand (10) for displays (11), comprising a pole (12) for supporting the displays (11), and a supporting means (13) for supporting the pole (12) when the supporting means (13) is resting on the ground, characterised in that a lower portion of the display stand (10) is provided with at least one wheel (58, 59) being rotatable around an axle (A) and projecting from the lower portion of the display stand (10) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pole (12), wherein the display stand (10) is arranged pivotally around the axle (A) from a first position, in which it is supported by the supporting means (13), to a second position, in which it is supported by the wheel (58, 59).

9. A display stand as claimed in claim 8, wherein the lowermost portion of the wheel (58, 59) is aligned with the underside of the display stand (10).

10. A display stand as claimed in claim 8, wherein the pole (12) is provided with a handle (65) arranged at a distance from the lower portion of the display stand (10).

11. A display stand as claimed in claim 10, wherein the handle (65) is arranged on the back of the pole (12) and wherein the wheel (58, 59) projects from the corresponding back of the display stand (10), so that the wheel (58, 59) is brought to support the display stand (10) by turning the pole (12) backwards and bringing the supporting means (13) along therewith.

12. A display stand as claimed in claim 8, wherein the supporting means (13) is formed as a base plate (13) having an underside, a top side and edge sides.

13. A display stand as claimed in claim 12, wherein the wheel (58, 59) projects in the plane of the base plate (13) and beyond an edge side (60) of the base plate.

14. A display stand as claimed in claim 13, wherein an edge side (60) of the base plate (13) is provided with a through aperture (61, 62) for the wheel (58, 59), the aperture extending perpendicular to the base plate (13).
