DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(16) The invention is further explained combined with embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only intended for illustrative purpose, without limiting the implementing scope of the invention.

(17) A free combinable tension fabric popup display as shown in FIG. 1, includes exhibit grid frame 11, and aluminum grooved straight rods 12. Exhibit grid frame 11 is composed of a plurality of X-shaped pull rods. The pull rods are connected to each other by plastic parts 13 with nails. Link parts 15 are located inside the exhibit grid frame 11. Link parts 15 are fixed to two symmetrically arranged plastic parts 13 with nails when exhibit grid frame 11 is open. Corner grooved plastic parts 14 are fixed to plastic parts 13 with nails at the four corners of exhibit grid frame 11. The eight sides on the two planes of exhibit grid frame 11 are all connected to aluminum grooved straight rods 12 by corner grooved plastic parts 14 at both ends of aluminum grooved straight rods 12. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, aluminum grooved straight rod 12 is divided into several sections with any length. Each section is fixed with each other by inserting plastic parts, forming a straight rod with a suitable length quickly and easily. Each section is connected to each other in series by ox tendon, rendering an easy installation and use. The structures of plastic parts 13 with nails and corner grooved plastic parts 14 are respectively shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

(18) As shown in FIGS. 6-9, a popup display with a preset size and shape is provided by horizontally or/and vertically combining a plurality of tension fabric popup displays as needed. Aluminum grooved straight rods 12 for the adjacent tension fabric popup displays are locked by a plurality of fasteners 16. The display before or after the combination is formed by inserting the silicone strips at the edges of the display into the grooves of grooved straight rods 12. To be more secure, a plurality of supports (not shown in the figures) may be provided at the bottom of a tension fabric popup display, located in the lower part of a combination of tension fabric popup displays.

(19) As shown in FIGS. 10-15, fastener 16 has a horizontal fastener and a vertical fastener, respectively including base plate 1, mobile plate 2, cover plate 3 and rotation shaft 4. First clamp plate 5 with a bend is located at an end of the base plate 1. Rotation shaft 4 penetrates through base plate 1, and a rotation shifting block 6 is disposed on rotation shaft 4 below base plate 1. Eccentric cylinder 7 is positioned at a top end of rotation shaft 4 above base plate 1. Semicircular groove 9 is located in base plate 1 centered at rotation shaft 4. Limiting pole 10 is positioned within semicircular groove 9 by rotation shifting block 6, ensuring rotation shifting block 6 rotates within a semicircle. Second clamp plate 8 with a bend is positioned at an end of mobile plate 2, and a circular aperture engaged with eccentric cylinder 7 is disposed in mobile plate 2. Mobile plate 2 is set around eccentric cylinder 7 via the circular aperture. First clamp plate 5 and second clamp plate 8 have a same orientation; however, the bend of first clamp plate 5 is opposite to the bend of second clamp plate 8. Cover plate 3 is provided above mobile plate 2 and cover plate 3 is fixed to base plate 1 by bolts, to prevent mobile plate 2 from being removed from eccentric cylinder 7. First clamp plate 5 and second clamp plate 8 are locked and released by rotating rotation shifting block 6 to drive mobile plate 2 to move. For the horizontal fastener, the bend of first clamp plate 5 and the bend of second clamp plate 8 are at the same level, while for the vertical fastener, the bend of first clamp plate 5 is higher than the bend of second clamp plate 8. In this invention, the whole fastener 16 may be made of metal, or first clamp plate 5, mobile plate 2 and second clamp plate 8 may be made of metal while the other parts may be made of plastic (bolts are made of metal). When the whole fastener 16 is made of metal, base plate 1 and first clamp plate 5 are integrated while mobile plate 2 and second clamp plate 8 are integrated. When first clamp plate 5, mobile plate 2 and second clamp plate 8 are made of metal while the other parts are made of plastic, first clamp plate 5 is fixed to base plate 1 by bolts, and mobile plate 2 and second clamp plate 8 are integrated, rendering a light weight and low cost to achieve the objectives of this invention.

(20) For assembly of the invention, first, quickly open exhibit grid frame 11, quickly install aluminum grooved straight rods 12 for the eight sides on the two planes of exhibit grid frame 11, combine tension fabric popup displays according to a preset size and shape, and then lock the popup displays with fasteners 16. The display before or after the combination is formed by inserting the silicone strips at the edges of the display into the grooves of grooved straight rods 12. The tension fabric popup displays of the invention may be combined and seamlessly attached in any shape by fasteners 16. There are no folds at the edges of display due to grooved straight rods 12 creating the frameless effect, and thus sufficiently ensuring the integrity of the display from combination of tension fabric popup displays.
