  • Patent number: 4432456
    Abstract: A jewelry display and storage device including a stackable open grid frame and a plurality of domed jewelry display pads. The walls of the frame and the display pads cooperate to form a mechanism wherein the pads are removably retained within the frame. Mounting means are located on the display pads for securing jewelry items thereto. The mounting means are offset so that a 180 degree rotation of a pad or frame clearance is established between jewelry items on adjacent frame levels when stacked. The jewelry items on a given frame level sit within the next grid level below the bottom of the next display pad. With this configuration economies of space are achieved.

  • Patent number: 4282975
    Abstract: A jewelry display tray according to the present invention includes an upper structural member and a lower structural member. A plurality of recesses are formed in both the upper and lower members. The recesses in the upper member extend in a downward direction when the tray is in a substantially horizontal position, and are arranged in offsetting or staggered rows. The recesses in the lower member extend in an upward direction and are similarly arranged in offsetting or staggered rows. The upper and lower members are complimentarily assembled together so that the downwardly extending recesses of the upper member fit into spaces located between the upwardly extending recess of the lower member thus forming an interlocking structure. Similarly, the upwardly extending recesses of the lower member fit into spaces located between the downwardly extending recesses of the upper member.
