Patent number: 7100761Abstract: A display for a collectible item, such as a coin, in which the collectible item may be rotated relative to the display. In one embodiment, the display comprises a bubble, which can be a semi-rigid transparent material, supported between at least two layers of support material, which can be a rigid material such as card-stock, which are adhered together. The bubble includes a capsule for encapsulating the collectible item, and a flange extending from an outer perimeter of the capsule. The capsule of the bubble is aligned within an opening in the support material so that the collectible item may be viewed. The flange contacts the support layers, and permits the bubble to be rotated within the display. The display also includes an apparatus for rotatably securing the flange between the support layers, which can be a high-gloss heat-resistant coating applied to the support layers over the areas in which the support layers contact the flange.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Unicover CorporationInventors: James A.

Patent number: 5191972Abstract: A device for storage and display of small, generally planar articles such as coins or the like, comprises one or more generally planar compartments for displaying a face of one or more articles. The articles are held in a cavity, preferably a closed, dust-tight cavity, of a generally planar article holder having a pair of opposed walls having the cavity therebetween. The article holder is releasably held in a display compartment by a generally planar retainer member which bears against an article holder which is correctly positioned in the display compartment. The article holder is also prevented from lateral movement in the display compartment and is thus held in an article viewing position in the display compartment whereby an article which is correctly positioned in the article holder is properly positioned in a display compartment and is viewable through an aperture in the retainer and through a transparent wall of the holder.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1992Date of Patent: March 9, 1993Assignee: Unicover CorporationInventors: James A.
