A display device having a support structure and display panel is provided. The support structure generally includes a cross bar horizontally supported by first and second leg assemblies. A coupling is provided at each end of the cross bar to receive the corresponding leg assemblies. A plurality of locking mechanisms are provided for independently and releasably connecting the cross bar and the leg assemblies to the coupling without requiring the use of tools.

What is claimed is: 1. A support structure for a display device comprising: a cross bar having a sign bracket located between a first end and a second end; a first leg assembly having a first transverse cavity receiving said first end of said cross bar; a first locking mechanism disposed in said cross bar at said first end, said first locking mechanism including a first detent biased to an extended position wherein at least a portion of said first detent extends from said cross bar and engages said first leg assembly to attach said cross bar thereto and positionable to a retracted position wherein said first detent is within said cross bar and disengages said first leg assembly to detach said cross bar therefrom; a second leg assembly having a second transverse cavity receiving said second end of said cross bar; and a second locking mechanism disposed in said cross bar at said second end, said second locking mechanism including a second detent biased to an extended position wherein at least a portion of said second detent extends from said cross bar and engages said second leg assembly to attach said cross bar thereto and positionable to a retracted position wherein said detent is within said cross bar and disengages said second leg assembly to detach said cross bar therefrom. 2. The support structure of claim 1 further comprising a first pair of legs interlocking with said first leg assembly and a second pair of legs interlocking with said second leg assembly. 3. The support structure of claim 2 wherein each of said first pair of legs extends through a respective aperture formed in said first leg assembly, and each of said second pair of legs extends through a respective aperture formed in said second leg assembly. 4. The support structure of claim 1 further comprising a pair of sign panel brackets coupled to said cross bar. 5. The support structure of claim 4 wherein each of said pair of sign panel brackets are coupled to said cross bar by a spring member. 6. A display device having the support structure of claim 1 and further comprising a display card supported from said sign bracket in a generally vertical orientation. 7. A method of assembling or disassembling the support structure of claim 1 without the use of tools comprising: manually positioning said first detent to said retracted position; moving said cross bar relative to said first leg assembly; manually positioning said second detent to said retracted position; and moving said cross bar relative to said second leg assembly.
