A collapsible shelter structure having a pair of collapsible frame members disposed at opposed ends thereof for supporting panel means which extend therebetween, wherein the collapsible frame means include a braced lazy-tong structure which is designed to maintain the frames in erect disposition, and wherein bracing strut means are pivotally coupled to alternate outer apices of the lazy-tong structure for rendering the frame means both stable and rigid. To further enhance rigidity of the erect structure, the inner apices are normally formed as a straight angle when the shelter structure is in erect form, with these inner apices forming a series of spaced points along a semicircle of fixed radius. The collapsible shelter means may be taken down and stored in collapsed form when desired, with generally rigid or durable base side panels being provided to protect the structure from inadvertent damage during use and during storage. Means may be provided for normally urging the bracing struts into engagement so as to provide a more stable and rigid structure, and furthermore means are provided for selectively disengaging the bracing strut means to enable the user to take the structure down into collapsed form.

Frame means for releasably retaining and exhibiting objects upon a display surface, with the frame means including angularly disposed edge members releasably secured together with corner members and with mounting brackets releasably secured to the edge members for temporarily mounting the frame means upon a display surface. The edge members include a generally "E" shaped member having a back with three fingers extending therefrom including inner, outer and intermediate fingers, and with the outer and intermediate fingers forming a partially enclosed channel therebetween. The corner members include a central arcuate segment with interlocking tabs extending from each end of the arcuate segment. The tabs include a segment of reduced thickness for engagement with the edge members in the partially enclosed channel. The mounting brackets are in the form of a generally open bilateral triangle with two elongated legs joined together at the apex.

A module panel for use in constructing different configurations of module assemblies. The module panel has an outer frame and a central core. The frame has outer shell and hollow interior. The frame has a plurality of frame members connected by frame connection member and a plurality of connector holes for inserting connection members for like connecting panels to construct a module assembly. Connection members are anchored to the frame via connector fastener members which have a connector cavity. The connector fastener members are inserted into the frame through an opening and moved within the frame to align the connector cavity with a desired connection hole for insertion of a connector member. The connector member is secured relative to the frame within the connector cavity for connecting module panels. Connector members may also be received within the frame connection members at the corners of two adjoining frame members.
