Abstract (en)

A connector device (12) for securing to a panel (10) of an exhibition display has a portion in the form of a gear segment adapted to mesh with a corresponding portion of an adjoining panel 10 of the display so that the two panels are effectively hinged together in quasi-pivotal relationship. The teeth (20) of the gear segment have enlarged ends (62) of a size to be capable of being held captive in the spaces (66), inwardly of the enlarged ends (62) of a meshing identical connection device. The teeth of the device (12) are resiliently flexible so that two connectors can simply be pushed together and will remain together until forcibly pulled apart, with no auxiliary connection between the devices (12) being necessary.
