Benefits of technology

"The present invention relates to a display device with a magnetic frame that can be attached to a display case for displaying an item. The magnetic frame is made of a magnet and is placed around the perimeter edge of the display case. The magnetic frame can be used to attach multiple display units together, creating a modular display device. The magnetic frame can be used to create a unique display effect, such as a floating display or a compact disc display case. The technical effects of the invention include improved display flexibility, durability, and a unique display effect."

Problems solved by technology

Embodiment Construction

[0049]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a modular display device, generally designated by reference number 10, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The modular display device 10 includes a first display unit 20 and a second display unit 30. Although only two display units 20, 30 are shown in FIG. 1, it should be appreciated that any number of such display units may be arranged to form the modular display device 10. The display unit 20 includes a display case 22 and a frame 24 disposed around the perimeter of the display case 22. This display case 22 may be capable of holding and displaying any type of item, such as, for example, a photograph, a compact disc, advertising products, stamps, coins, a clock, LCD temperature displays, or any combination of such items. In this regard, the display case 22 preferably has a display face 23 that is made of a transparent material, such as, for example, plastic or glass, through which an item may be displayed. Although th...

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to display devices, and in particular to display devices that can be releaseably attached to one another to provide a modular display system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Display devices, such as, for example, photo frames, compact disc holders, and other such devices for holding and displaying various items such as stamps, advertising products, coins, a clock, or LCD temperature displays are usually stand-alone items, and if available in modular form, often requires a number mechanical steps to engage or disengage the display device from an adjacent display device. For example, in the case of adding a photo to a photo album, one must either insert the photo into a sleeve of a photo album page, or add another page to the album that will hold the photo. This task is often more time-consuming than expected, since the photo must be aligned with other photos on the album page or the added page must be mechanically fastened to ...
