Description

BACKGROUND

[0001] A reference to specification and claims to filed utility application 09/174,976.

[0002] This invention applies to the display means by which non-opaque materials and non-opaque mediums on their surface are illuminated by an interior light, while simultaneously illuminating a three-dimensional object.

[0003] Display boxes, including: all types of art boxes; billboards and framing devices; advertising and point of purchase displays; and structures used for illumination of all kinds of media are common.

[0004] However, an enhancement of non-opaque artwork is made, when an interior light source is used for backlighting.

[0005] More specifically, the proper usage of non-opaque mediums and their application on the non-opaque materials, enhance the non-opaque artwork significantly. The use of oil and acrylic paints, fluorescent paints, gels, films, inks, and all other non-opaque mediums applicable to the use of art directly applied to non-opaque materials, combined with proper and direct applications and illumination, while simultaneously illuminating a three-dimensional object, add visual appeal.

PRIOR ART

[0006] The prior patented art is made of many different point of purchase and advertising displays as well as various light box constructions. However, none have the same design principle and method of use as heretofore discussed. And most significantly, the way three-dimensional objects are illuminated and displayed is different. U.S. Pat. No. 5,113,207 by Huebner, dated May 12, 1992, is a photography apparatus for reflective illumination. U.S. Pat. No. 5,657,004 by Whittaker et al., dated Aug. 12, 1997, is a point of purchase display with illumination and audio. U.S. Pat. No. 5,664,352 by Beckman, dated Sep. 9, 1997, has a composite construction which doesn't allow the same insertion/removal of the media. In addition, the use of poster paper not non-opaque materials that are easily inserted/removed from a cabinet, is used. Secondly, photographic non-opaque poster prints-not non-opaque mediums on non-opaque materials are mentioned. U.S. Pat. No. 4,185,407 by Lamb, dated Jan. 29, 1980, discusses, “translucent objects, such as drawings and water-color prints.” However, this is not a cabinet for the insertion/removal of non-opaque materials or added visual appeal of such said non-opaque materials. It relates the specimens used for the particular device to be water-colored items (A water-colored item relates to that done on water-color paper), and selected minerals, stamps, and coins. U.S. Pat. No. 5,237,765 by Vargish, II, dated Aug. 20, 1991, is a neon light sign. Britain Patent No. 2,183,387 by Kaisha, dated Jun. 3, 1987, for a backlit display box. However, it does not light up artists' mediums upon non-opaque materials; lighting transparent plastic mesh with “moire fringe” illusions.

[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 4,261,125 by Rappaport, dated Apr. 14, 1981, uses transparencies not artists' mediums on non-opaque materials. U.S. Pat. No. 4,242, 821 by McNeil, dated Jul. 25, 1978, has a different construction for pictorial display. U.S. Pat. No. 3,707,792 by Mabrey, et. al., dated Jan. 2, 1973 illuminates building directions.

[0008] The amount of references cited of illuminated display devices, parallels the variety of existing patents. Descriptions heretofore are of those of the most similarities to the present display device. The present display device solves the easy insertion/removal of non-opaque materials. In addition, it shows that non-opaque mediums upon the surface of non-opaque materials, along with the use of the present display devices illumination and simultaneous illumination of a three-dimensional object, adds visual appeal.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The objective of using the present display device is to provide an interior light source and cabinet to display, illuminate, and enhance, non-opaque materials and the non-opaque mediums upon its' surface while simultaneously illuminating a three-dimensional object. Additionally, molded non-opaque materials replace the need for cabinet design, and allows for any geometric shape encompassing a light source, the visually appealing illumination effect of the direct application of non-opaque mediums.

[0010] The detailed description described hereinafter, shows a novel display arrangement for illuminating non-opaque materials and non-opaque mediums upon their surface while simultaneously illuminating a three-dimensional object. Accordingly, the present display device comprises: the bottom to which a vertically planar surface attaches; an electrical current source and interior light that attaches to the vertically planar surface; hinges which allow the opening and closing of side members; fasteners to hold a non-opaque element forward of the vertically planar surface; and various applicable artists' work tools and media.

[0011] Significantly, the first object of the present display device is the illumination produced by an interior light source contained within the cabinet or mold and non-opaque materials. Non-opaque mediums including: oil paints; acrylic paints; fluorescent paints; gels; films; inks; crayons; and all others applicable to use in art applied to non-opaque materials, are illuminated due to their proper application and the diffusion of light through their matter.

[0012] Another object is to provide a cabinet or mold that allows the easy insertion/removal of non-opaque materials. Inclusively, this option allows different cabinet size, shape, dimensions, and different number, size, and shape non-opaque materials may be used. In addition, the way the non-opaque materials are inserted/removed and held in place may change due to cabinet or mold and non-opaque materials shape and dimension. However, the principle of easy insertion and removal of the non-opaque materials is the secondary objective of the invention, and described further by way of examples using drawing figures for five particular cabinet configurations.

[0013] An additional object is to illuminate a three-dimensional object simultaneously.

[0014] A further object is to provide a display device that can be used easily.

[0015] A still further object is to provide a display device that has an economically feasible manufacturing cost.

[0016] Further advantages of the preferred and alternate embodiments will appear in the later description.
