Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to the field of support stands and more specifically relates to a jewelry stand.

2. Description of Related Art

It is conventional to employ small individual stands to display wrist watches in a way that is more aesthetically pleasing and space-efficient. Those stands also allow watches to be displayed at a proper angle and to be easily manipulated. A typical prior art display stand comprises a generally C-shaped holder that engages a wrist watch over a continuous section. Such display stands do not, however, possess sufficient flexibility to fit wrist watches with widely varying wristband dimensions. Consequently, a retailer must purchase such display stands in various sizes to accommodate the different sizes of the wristwatches to be displayed. A suitable solution is desired.

U.S. Pub. No. 2,650,785 to Aaron Haister relates to a wrist watch stand. The described wrist watch stand includes a stand of simple mechanical construction, having a base and an upstanding U-shape frame, which will support the watch so that its dial and hands will be held clearly exposed for ready observation, the straps being disposed behind the watch, so as to permit of unobstructed display of the face of the watch.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known support stand art, the present disclosure provides a novel wrist watch stand. The general purpose of the present disclosure, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a functional wrist watch stand capable of displaying and holding watches of varying sizes in an accessible and viewable manner.

A wrist watch stand is disclosed herein. The wrist watch stand includes a support stand assembly having a stabilizing base, a cylindrical center post, and a three-dimensional representation of a human head. The cylindrical center post has a first-end and a second-end, the first-end is coupled to the stabilizing base and the three-dimensional representation of the human head is configured at the second-end. The cylindrical center post is supported in a vertical position extending from the stabilizing base. The cylindrical center post includes a plurality of functional curvatures, the curvatures provide varying thicknesses of the cylindrical center post. The support stand assembly is configured to support and functionally organize a plurality of jewelry items along the cylindrical center post.

For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.

Generally, the present invention includes a support stand having a cylindrical center post mounted on a stabilizing base. The center post may be padded and shaped to resemble a man or woman's body from head to hip. This center post allows for the stacking and securing of watches, so as to remove any clutter from a countertop area. This also displays the watches in such a way to allow for the user to easily select and remove whichever watch they desire.

Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in FIGS. 1-5, various views of a wrist watch stand 100. FIG. 1 shows a wrist watch stand 100 during an ‘in-use’ condition 150, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated, the wrist watch stand 100 may include a support stand assembly 110 having a stabilizing base 120, a cylindrical center post 128, and a three-dimensional functional representation of a human head 140. The cylindrical center post 128 has a first-end 130 and a second-end 134. The first-end 130 is coupled to the stabilizing base 120 and the three-dimensional representation of the human head 140 is configured at the second-end 134. The cylindrical center post 128 is supported in a vertical position extending from the stabilizing base 120. The cylindrical center post 128 includes a plurality of curvatures. The curvatures provide varying thicknesses of the cylindrical center post 128. The support stand assembly 110 is configured to support and functionally organize a plurality of jewelry items 10 along the cylindrical center post 128.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the wrist watch stand 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As above, the wrist watch stand 100 may include the support stand assembly 110 having the stabilizing base 120, the cylindrical center post 128, and the three-dimensional representation of a human head 140. The plurality jewelry items 10 includes at least one wrist watch. Other jewelry may be hung or displayed on the device. The jewelry items 10 are configured to be stacked along the cylindrical center post 128. The device is configured to support wrist watches of various sizes upon a plurality of curvatures.

Referring now to FIG. 3 showing a perspective view of the wrist watch stand 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As above, the wrist watch stand 100 may include the support stand assembly 110 having the stabilizing base 120, the cylindrical center post 128, and the three-dimensional representation of a human head 140. The three-dimensional representation of the human head 140 may be a male three-dimensional representation of the human head 140 or a female the three-dimensional representation of the human head 140. The three-dimensional representation of the human head 140 includes hair extending therefrom. Longer hair may be provided on the female version and shorter hair may be included on the male version. The curvatures represent natural-curvatures of a human body from head to hip. The curvatures create portions of the cylindrical center post 128 with smaller and larger diameters. The curvatures are configured to accommodate larger or small the jewelry items 10 secured around the cylindrical center post 128.

FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the wrist watch stand 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As above, the wrist watch stand 100 may include a support stand assembly 110. The support stand assembly 110 includes the cylindrical center post 128 having the first-end 130 and the second-end 134.
