  • Patent number: 8991083
    Abstract: A cube display system uses a frame with upstanding outer periphery side walls. A series of uniform sized cubes has a portion of an overall picture on each face. The cubes are placed into the inner space of the frame in an appropriate position, with the appropriate face facing upwardly and properly oriented. When all of the cubes are so placed, the overall picture is displayed. Different pictures are formed when displaying different faces of the cubes. An opening is located underneath each cube such that a finger or a poking tool is inserted through the opening in order to dislodge a particular cube from the cube matrix. The openings are encompassed by a magnetically attractive material and another magnetically attractive material is disposed on each face in order for the cubes and base to magnetically attract each other. Alternately, the frame is a banding frame that cinches the formed matrix.
