Abstract: A display device having one or more liquid-filled chambers through which an object may be viewed as if it were submerged in liquid. The display device includes a frame member having four sides, at least two of the sides each having a viewing aperture. At least two substantially transparent liquid-filled chambers can also be provided in a side-by-side or back-to-back alignment, and are positioned within the frame member in substantial corresponding relationship with one of the viewing apertures.
Abstract: A novelty item comprising a first reservoir, a second reservoir, and a member for engaging the first and second reservoirs to define a display chamber. At least one of the first and second reservoirs includes a fluid therein and at least a portion of at least one of the first and second reservoirs is substantially transparent or translucent. The display chamber is capable of retaining an object therein for display.
Abstract: A liquid-filled display globe is provided. The globe has a central dry chamber allowing objects to be displayed without immersion, while giving the appearance of being immersed. Particulate matter is suspended in the liquid, giving the appearance of swirling snowflakes when the liquid is agitated. A removable base provides access to the display chamber so that the object displayed therein can be easily replaced.
Abstract: An improved construction for an insulated beverage container having a sealed display chamber for the enclosed display of indicia such as advertising or small objects which avoids the need for gluing or sonic welding of the components thereof to achieve a moisture-tight seal therebetween sufficient to withstand the temperature and pressures encountered in automatic dishwashers. In the preferred embodiment the moisture-tight seal is achieved by creating a snap-tight fit between the liner and shell of the container so as to provide a barrier to the migration of moisture into the display chamber.
