  • Publication number: 20040035725
    Abstract: A watch box includes a watch collar which supports a wristwatch for purposes of display and a plug member which fits into the watch collar. A locking member has a first end lodged in a sidewall of the watch box, an intermediate portion which passes through an aperture formed in the plug member and a second end which projects into a locking receptacle which is mounted in an opposite sidewall. The locking receptacle prevents removal of the locking member once it has been installed. When it is desired to remove the wristwatch, a knife blade is inserted into a slot formed on a bottom panel of the watch box and the locking member is cut.

  • Patent number: 6378696
    Abstract: A display case for jewelry, such as a wrist watch, is provided which includes a housing formed of a receiving shell and a cover closeable over the shell, a display mount within the housing for supporting the jewelry, and a multi-tiered rack within the housing adjacent the display mount. The preferred embodiment employs a foamed structure to serve as a mount which includes an outer frame surrounding a cavity and a support upon which the wrist watch rests and can form-fittingly be lodged within the cavity. The multi-tiered rack has a series of plates pivotally moveable from a horizontal to a vertical position. A CD disc can be stored within the pocket of each plate. When the primary purpose of the display case for showcasing jewelry has been completed, a purchaser of the jewelry discards the foamed mount and can now employ the case for the storage of CD discs.
