3D Jersey Display Case With Invisible Support and Internal Lighting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display cases for sport jerseys fail to showcase the memorabilia in an authentic, life-like manner and do not effectively convey the legacy behind the uniform, often resulting in creases and limited visibility, especially without external lighting.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus featuring an outer casing with a specially designed inner support member that mimics the contour of human shoulders and torso, allowing the jersey to be displayed in a fully expanded, three-dimensional format with mid-air floating effect, accompanied by internal lighting and optional hologram screens for enhanced visualization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sport jersey is stitched to the backing of a display case, then the jersey is firmly secured and can be displayed, but only the front of the sport jersey can be viewed and the jersey loses its three-dimensional form
Solution Approach 1:
The display case is divided into multiple compartments: a first compartment for receiving the front of the jersey and a second compartment for receiving the back of the jersey. This segmentation allows each compartment to independently support and display different portions of the jersey, maintaining its three-dimensional form while ensuring secure display from multiple angles.
2Shape
If the sport jersey is hung from a hanger, then the jersey can be displayed with better drape, but creases, folding lines, and wrinkles form in the fabric below the shoulder portion
Solution Approach 1:
The display case transitions the jersey from a two-dimensional hanging display to a three-dimensional enclosed display. The jersey is positioned within the case with the front facing outward, allowing it to maintain its natural drape without the harmful effects of hanging creases, while the enclosed space provides structural support.
3Device complexity
If conventional display cases are used without external lighting fixtures, then the display case structure remains simple, but the display case remains in the dark and is hard to see
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting fixture is integrated into the display case structure, merging the illumination function with the display case itself. The lighting fixture is positioned to illuminate the jersey from within the case, enhancing visibility without requiring external lighting sources and maintaining a clean, simple external appearance.

AI summary
A display apparatus is provided for displaying a jersey with a three-dimensional view with a vision effect of floating in mid-air in an enclosed environment. The display apparatus comprises an outer casing body, a front and a back clear screen, an inner support member, an optional desk support and an opening means. In particular, when a jersey is supported by the inner support member as provided, the support member is invisible such that it contributes to the mid-air floating visual effect. The display apparatus may further comprise components to achieve visual, audio and/or video effects controlled by sensors.
