Definitions

  • the present invention relates to display devices and more particularly to a novel means for displaying an object so as to appear in a suspended or floating position.
  • the present invention which provides a novel display means comprising a base means having end plates with a display area defined between the opposing surfaces of the plates.
  • the uppermost plate mounts a fixed magnet and a second magnet or magnetic material is placed on a display positionable within the display area.
  • a filament couples the other plate to the underside of the display and a magnetic coupling occurs between the pair of magnets and magnetic material so that attraction occurs for suspending the holder immediately under the plate in spaced relationship so that the filament is drawn taut, giving the holder a floating or suspended visual impression.
  • the display is preferably a holder characterized as having means for selectively supporting a single or a plurality of articles such as photographs intended to be displayed within the area defined.
  • the novel display provides for magnetically supporting a holder for articles so that the articles appear to be floating or suspended within a display area between mounting plates, the articles occupying a substantial portion of the display area between the plates.
  • the substantial portion of the display area being occupied is at least laterally or vertically related to the mounting plates.
  • the novel display of the present invention is shown in the general direction of arrow 10 which includes an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 12 defining a display area between their opposite and opposing surfaces wherein the display area is generally represented by the numeral 13.
  • the plates 11 and 12 are joined together by suitable means, such as posts 14 and 15, which are arranged to interconnect marginal regions of the respective plates. It is understood that a single mounting member can interconnect the plates along common edges in place of the posts, if desired.
  • a display or holder 16 which is composed of transparent material so that an article to be displayed can be visually viewed through the holder composition.
  • the operating principle of the invention is based on the laws of magnetism.
  • the first magnet mounted above the object or holder is attracted to the second magnet or ferro-magnetic material.
  • the object or cube holder 17 can be made to appear weightless.
  • the string or filament 23 adjusted so that the object or holder stays within the magnetic field, the objects to be displayed will be within the display area for viewing.
  • the object or holder will be floating in the air to give the appearance of an anti-gravity effect.
  • the actual distance between the mounted magnet in the top plate 11 and the floating or suspended holder varies depending on the grade of magnets, weight of the holder or objects and the material used.
  • the filament 23 is a fine material which is of a transparent nature.
  • the object 16 is sized to occupy a substantial portion of the display area, both vertically and horizontally.
  • the size of the object 16 is sufficiently larger to essentially occupy at least about 30% of the display area between the plates. Also by sizing the object 16 approximately a substantial portion of the filament 23 is hidden from view by the object 16 when viewed from a normal viewing position at a table top level or an eye level position above the device.
  • An object is to make filament as slightly visible as possible.
  • the height of the object occupies about 50% of the height of the display area, and the filament length is about 25% and the space above the display object to the top plate occupies also about 25%.
  • a plastic plug 132 can be used to effect the anchoring of the filament to the base of the plate 12.
  • a plug 132 is shown since this provides effective securing of the filament 23 into an aperture 133 in the plate 12.
  • the magnet 30 is located at the upper part 17 of the object 16 and securing of the object 17 with a filament 23 is at the bottom of the object.
  • the object 16 is composed of two parts 17 and 18 which are separable to permit replacement of photos.
  • the anchorage 32 in one of the components 17 the disassembly of the object 16 is facilitated.
  • the magnet 30 is at the top encased in a separate component 17 relative to the anchorage 32 at the bottom.
  • the magnet in the base can be positioned in the bottom plate and operate under repulsion forces with the magnet in the holder.
  • the magnet in the base can be positioned in the bottom plate and operate under repulsion forces with the magnet in the holder.
