Benefits of technology

[0011] The present invention is described as having a display stand, where the display stand is generally planar in design and may be fabricated from magnetic materials. Presented with the display stand are action figure supports. The action figure supports may contain magnets, or other means to attach to the display stand, such as Velcro®, or adhesives. The action figure supports have bosses that are circular in shape, and would be inserted into the action figure's feet, which all have complimentary recesses in the feet. The action figure with the action figure supports would then be mounted on the display stand, and the figure will be more stable than just standing alone.

Problems solved by technology

The problem with the action figure is that it is small, and as a result of its size, is prone to instability due to its small footprint.
The collector did not have an acceptable way of displaying his collection, since the action figures would easily tip.

Embodiment Construction

[0028] With respect to figure one, an action figure (1) is shown placed upon an action figure support assembly (2). The action figure support assembly (2) is shown mounted onto a horizontal display stand (4). The display stand (4) is fabricated from a ferro-magnetic material.

[0029] Figure two shows an action figure (1a) that is more conventional in design as it makes use of two magnetized action figure support assemblies (2), where each action figure support assembly (2) is attached to a leg (6), (8) of the action figure.

[0030] In the instant case, the magnetic action figure support assembly (2) shown in figures five and six has a top side (10) and a bottom side (12). The magnetic action figure support assembly (2) shown has a shape, and has a thickness (14). Although the shape disclosed within the drawings shows a circular shape, the shape of the action figure support assembly (2) may be more broad and include any geometric shape but not be limited to a triangle, square, rectangu...

Abstract

This invention describes an improved way to display action figures on display at toy stores and the like. The present invention has a display stand, where the display stand is generally flat in design and may be fabricated from magnetic materials. Arrayed on the display stand are action figure supports. The action figure supports may contain magnets, or other means to attach to the display stand, such as Velcro®, or adhesives. The action figure supports have bosses that are circular in shape, and would be inserted into the action figure's feet, which all have complimentary recesses in the feet. The action figure with the action figure supports would then be mounted on the display stand, and the figure will be more stable than just standing alone.

Description

[0001] This is a continuation in part application to the original application Ser. No. 11 / 252,117 filed Oct. 17, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates to the field of Action Figures. More specifically, this invention provides an improved way to display the action figures sold at stores today. [0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0005] Magnets have been used to support dolls or figurines in various forms for many years. The major difference between prior art patents and the current invention is that the prior art patents that use magnets have had the magnets permanently installed into the foot or hand of the dolls or figurines. The present invention allows the consumer to purchase a figurine stand that is fully useable for the existing and prior lines of action figures. None of the inventions previously patented allow this amount of flexibility in its use. [0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,887,121 by Whitehead discloses a toy that has...
