Definitions
- the present invention relates to objects for commemorating events and, more particularly, to such an object which can be personalized.
- a commemorative object for memorializing an event comprising a figurine having a three-dimensional body representative of an event to be memorialized, said body having a writable surface for substantially permanently receiving a personalized handwritten message commemorating the event.
- a method of depicting an event to be memorialized comprising the steps of: providing a figurine having a three-dimensional body representative of the event to be memorialized, and handwriting a personalized message on said body with a writing implement.
- the figurine 12 includes an egg-shaped head/body member 18, a pair of movable arms 20 depending from opposed sides of the egg-shaped head/body member 18, and a pair of movable legs 22 projecting downwardly from a lower end of the egg-shaped head/body member 18.
- the figurine 12 is also provided with short pants 24 covering the upper portion of the legs 22 and a pair of sport shoes 26 at the lower end of the legs 22 for supporting the head/body member 18 in an upstanding position on a given support surface (not shown).
- the shoes 26 act as a base for supporting the figurine 12 on a support surface.
- the short pants 24 and the sport shoes 26 are preferably molded from a rigid plastic material and respectively secured to the egg-shaped head/body member 18 and the legs 22, as by bonding.
- the short pants 24 can be provided in the form of a separate rigid piece defining a pair of holes (not shown) for receiving the legs 22 and having an arcuate recess (not shown) on a top surface thereof for receiving in a complementary fashion the lower convex end of the head/body member 18.
- the short pants 24 includes front and rear half portions (not shown) adapted to be secured together about the legs 22 under the head/body member 18.
- the arms 20 and the legs 22 are made of a malleable plastic material, thereby allowing the same to be moved and bent as desired in a variety of configurations. By reconfiguring the arms 20 and the legs 22 in a desired fixed position, it becomes possible to recreate a particular moment of the event to be memorialized.
- a facial expression defined by a pair of eyes 28, a pair of eyebrows 30 and a mouth 32 is provided on a frontal portion of an exterior surface 34 the egg-shaped head/body member 18.
- the facial expression can be permanently painted on the egg-shaped head/body member 18 during the manufacturing process of the 3-D figurine 12. It is also noted that the eyes 28, the eyebrows 30 and the mouth 32 can project integrally outwardly of the frontal portion of the exterior surface 34 of the egg-shaped head/body member 18.
- the present invention is not limited to the commemoration of sporting events but could be used for commemorating a variety of events, such as a graduation, a promotion, a wedding, a birth, a birthday, etc.
