AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010] More specifically, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is an article display and method of use thereof, comprising a plurality of ring displays covered in a high friction surface material, wherein individual ring display surfaces may be removably adhered to other ring display surfaces, in any selected configuration, to form a ring display set. Each ring display preferably comprises one or more high-friction surfaces that may be brought into frictionally adhered contact with one or more surfaces of another ring display. As such, any ring display in the set can be temporarily removed and / or frictionally re-adhered to one or more other ring displays of the set. Additionally, the high friction surface material of each ring display facilitates repeated removal of the rings there from, without risk of fraying the jewelry display, or causing additional wear and deterioration to the jewelry display.

[0011] Accordingly, a feature and advantage of the present version of the invention is its ability to expedite jewelry-handling processes by reducing or eliminating the time needed to remove and / or insert a ring into a fixed ring display set by providing an individual ring display, wherein the ring display releasably adheres to other ring displays forming a ring display set.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, over time, such repeated and continued removal and return of the ring, results in the outer surface of the jewelry display fraying; that is, the thin outer fabric tends to separate from the underlying jewelry display form, so as to exhibit a fringe or worn appearance.

As a result, each recess, slit, edge, or surface in the thin fabric sheet, over time, detaches from the underlying display frame or wears away.

Furthermore, such repeated use and activity causes ring-retaining recesses or slits formed within the frame to expand or stretch.

Consequently, slits are no longer able to stably hold or securely retain a ring therewith, and / or fail to maintain the ring at an aesthetically pleasing angle; thus, significantly detracting from the overall product appearance.

Furthermore, upon selling a ring from a ring display, a sales person often rearranges the remaining rings or inserts a replacement ring into the open recess, slit, or ring post, resulting in additional wear and deterioration to the jewelry display.

In addition, if a multiple ring display is in use, and a replacement ring is not available to fill an open recess, slit, or ring post, such a vacancy may detract from the general harmony and aesthetic appearance of the jewelry display and, thus, potentially causing a consumer to focus on the vacant recess, slit, or post, rather than the remaining rings displayed.
