1. Apparatus assembleable into a securing structure comprising:
- a panel;
a first ring member in said panel;
second and third ring members closely adjacent to said first ring member in said panel;
said first, second and third ring members seated in said panel forming a triangular relationship and formed with openings with the opening in said first ring member larger than the openings in said second and third ring members;

Abstract
The invention includes a securing structure comprising a first ring member, second and third ring members adjacent to the first ring member, a locking member, and a cord insertable through the second and third ring members, respectively, and engagable by the locking member. The invention also includes a free standing panel member comprising a panel; a plurality of ring members in the panel arranged in groups of at least three ring members adjacent one another; a plurality of support members; a plurality of anchoring members for accommodating the support members; and a plurality of cords each engagable by a locking member (e.g., a spring-actuated cord lock). A method of assembling the invention includes the steps of pushing an anchoring member into a surface sufficiently far to stabilize the anchoring member; inserting a support member through a collar into the anchoring member; placing the first ring member over a support member; and inserting first and second ends of the cord through the second and third ring members, respectively, from the top side of the panel. The support member is maintained between the first and second ends of the cord and the locking member is secured on the cord sufficiently close to the support member to selectively fix the first ring in a slanted position, with respect to the support member. The above steps are then repeated to selectively position the panel.
