Problems solved by technology

Conventional display frames of this type require an excessive amount of material to create the core structure.
The large mass of core material utilized unnecessarily increases the cost of the material utilized to form the core, and also the weight of the display frame.
Cheaper and lighter weight display frames for decorative or ornamental three-dimensional articles have been needed, but until now no suitable alternative to heavy, massive, and expensive ornamental article display frames have heretofore been available.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] FIG. 1 illustrates a display frame 10 for a decorative, three-dimensional article 12, which may, for example, be a pressed flower, as illustrated. The display frame 10 includes a core 14 formed with a stiff, thin, generally rectangular border 16 having an inner surface 18 and an outer surface 20. The display frame 10 defines a display window 22 therein, surrounded by the border 16 and including a blister 24 formed of a stiff, resilient, transparent material and having an open side 26, as illustrated in FIG. 4, and a raised bubble portion 28 projecting outwardly from the border 16. The bubble portion 28 projects out beyond the outside surface 20 of the border 16. A bubble closure member 30 in the form of a stiff, thin panel extends across the open side 26 of the blister 24 to define a hollow cavity or enclosure 32 within the bubble portion 28 of the blister 24. The decorative pressed flower 12 is encapsulated within the enclosure 32 defined between the bubble portion 28 of the...

Abstract

A shallow box display frame is provided for a three-dimensional ornamental object. The display frame is formed with a surrounding border having inner and outer surfaces. A hollow bubble projects from the outer surface of the border. The bubble is closed at the inner surface of the border by a flat closure member that is thinner than the border and which seats in a seating recess that surrounds the bubble on the inner surface of the border. The flat closure member resides in the seating recess so that its exposed surface is in coplanar relationship with the surrounding portion of the inner surface of the border. A hollow enclosed cavity is defined within the bubble and a three-dimensional display object is loosely entrapped within the hollow cavity.

Description

[0001] The present invention is a continuation in part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 728,386 filed Dec. 4, 2000, presently pending.[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] The present invention relates to an improved display frame for a decorative or ornamental three-dimensional article.[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art[0005] Conventional display frames for small, relatively thin, three-dimensional articles are usually formed with a flat, expansive, rectangular display frame core, often formed of chipboard, fiberboard, cardboard, plastic, or some other stiff material, having a central opening defined therethrough. Often the display frame core has a planar outside surface covered with a film of transparent plastic. The planar inside surface of the display frame core is often covered with a sheet of paper or plastic. The three-dimensional article is thereby trapped within the hollow cavity defined between the two sheets on the outer and inner surfaces of the core and within the s...
