Abstract
A foldable truss member suitable for commercial displays includes a plurality of side members that are adjacently hinged together. The side members include support members and bridging members having extensions. The side members are joined into a foldable structure with a hinge member between the support member and extensions of adjacent side members. The truss includes latching features that hold the truss member in a deployed configuration. A display structure can be formed by connecting a locking frame between two truss members.
