- 6. The display framework construction of claim 5 wherein said arm assembly has a stop at the distal end thereof for keeping a hanger from sliding off of said arm assembly.
- 7. The display framework construction of claim 5 wherein said arm assembly has a lateral bend therein so as to provide the arm assembly with a generally L shape.
- 8. The display framework construction of claim 7 including three additional arm assemblies mounted to said column in an arrangement which defines a swastika configuration.
- 9. The display framework construction of claim 5 including a second column assembly mounted on a base and wherein said arm assembly has a bracket at each end thereof such that said arm assembly can be mounted between said two column assemblies.
- 10. The display framework construction of claim 5 including at least one specially configured hanger including a generally H-shaped upper portion comprising spaced apart generally cylindrical vertically extending legs, a generally cylindrical horizontally extending strut between said legs, a first, generally cylindrical, inverted V-shaped rod having the vertex thereof situated between and connected to the lower ends of the legs of said H-shaped portion and a second, generally cylindrical, inverted V-shaped rod fixed to and beneath said first rod, said first and second inverted V-shaped rods having rounded shoulders at each end thereof so as to have the shape of a hanger.
- 11. The display framework construction of claim 1 including a second column assembly and at least one U-shaped arm assembly having upper and lower elongate generally cylindrical members or bars juxtaposed to each other and each having a mounting bracket at each end of said upper and lower U-shaped generally cylindrical elongate members or bars, each bracket having two hooks thereon for mounting to said connection means and extending between said two column assemblies.
- 12. The display framework construction of claim 11 wherein said U-shaped arm assembly includes a third generally cylindrically shaped bar or tube which extends below and depends from said second lower, generally cylindrical, U-shaped bar of said arm assembly between the brackets at each end of said arm assembly.
- 13. The display framework construction of claim 11 including a second U-shaped arm assembly mounted to said two column assemblies opposite said first U-shaped arm assembly.
- 14. The display framework construction of claim 1 including a second column assembly and a rectangular shelf extending between and connected to the column assemblies and having a double cylindrical bar formation including elongate, at least partially cylindrical, upper and lower bars or tubes juxtaposed to each other.
- 15. A display framework assembly including a display framework construction as claimed in claim 1 in combination with a display framework construction comprising at least one column including a base and an elongate upwardly extending column assembly comprising two generally cylindrical elongate members and a bar extending therebetween and having slots therein for receiving and mounting a bracket of an arm assembly.
- 16. A display framework assembly including the display framework construction as claimed in claim 1 and at least one other display framework construction comprising at least one column including a base and an elongate upwardly extending column assembly including three generally cylindrical elongate members and an interior elongate hollow tubular member having a generally triangular cross-section and three narrow elongate walls with slots therein each disposed between adjacent two of the generally cylindrical elongate members.
- 17. The display framework assembly of claim 16 wherein said second display framework construction has a generally triangular base and said assembly includes a further display framework construction as defined in claim 1.
- 18. The display framework construction of claim 1 including a short arm assembly comprising a mounting bracket at the inner end thereof for mounting the arm assembly to said connection means of the column assembly, an upper rod and a lower rod fixed to and beneath the upper rod and said upper rod having a notch therein for receiving a hanger.
- 19. The display framework construction of claim 1 including an arm assembly comprising a mounting bracket at the inner end thereof for mounting the arm assembly to said connection means of the column assembly, an upper rod inclined downwardly from said bracket, a lower rod beneath and fixed to said upper rod and a plurality of spaced apart pegs on and extending upwardly from the upper surface of said upper rod.
- 20. The display framework construction of claim 1 including at least one angled generally L-shaped arm assembly including an inner arm portion and an outer arm portion, a mounting bracket at the inner end of said inner arm portion for mounting the arm assembly to said connection means of the column assembly, aid arm assembly including in each portion thereof an upper rod and a lower rod fixed to and beneath the upper rod, said inner arm portion extending generally horizontally outwardly from said mounting bracket and said outer arm portion extending at approximately, a right angle from said inner arm portion and angularly downwardly, the upper surface of said upper rod in said outer arm portion having spaced apart pegs on and extending upwardly therefrom.
- 21. The display framework construction of claim 1 further comprising at least one additional column including an elongate upwardly extending column assembly including at least a pair of generally cylindrical elongate members and a narrow elongate wall between said cylindrical elongate members, said wall including means for connecting additional components to said column.
- 22. The construction of claim 21 in which the additional column assembly includes three generally cylindrical elongate members each connected to an adjacent member by a respective narrow elongate wall.
- 23. The construction of claim 21 in which the elongate narrow walls have a plurality of vertically spaced-apart slots for creating different framework constructions, and an arm assembly comprising a bracket fixed to one end of said arm assembly, said bracket including two spaced-apart hooks which are adapted to be received in two of said slots for releasably mounting said arm assembly to said column assembly.
