Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an empty display module in accordance with the present invention; and

[0011] FIG. 2 is an elevational view of an assembly of art-filled display modules in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] This disclosure, as defined by the claims that follow, relates to a way to display sticker slap art—or any plurality of art works done on sheet material—modularly such that the individual art works are rearrangeable, relative to each other, and are individually and collectively transportable.

[0013] As can be seen in FIG. 1, the individual artwork display module 1 of the present invention is formed by two sheets of material: (1) a translucent front sheet 2 (“front” in that its position, relative to the other sheet, is facing the inserted art observer) overlaying (2) a rear sheet 4—which may or may not be also translucent—that is securely attached to the front sheet 2 along some, but not all, of the rear sheet's edges so that the two module sheets form an open pocket inside which sheet material, like decorated LABEL 228s, can be inserted. For example, in embodiments where the rear sheet 4 is rectangular, it is anticipated that its right edge 14, left edge 16 and bottom edge 12 are all affixed to the front sheet 2, while its top edge 10 is not. However, alternatively, the rear sheet's top edge 10, bottom edge 12 and either left 16 or right edge 14 could be sealed to the front sheet 2 while its other edge (right or left) is not.

[0014] Nevertheless, the single module 1 has connecting elements disposed along (at or closely adjacent to) its perimeter edges (typically, along the four edges of the front sheet 2, specifically, which extend beyond the main body of that sheet). These connecting elements may be the male of female component(s) of a zip-lock fastener (meaning a groove and ridge type of sealing arrangement), press and seal fastener, zipper, slider fastener, button, or hook and loop fastener or other fastening means. In a preferred embodiment of the present module, the male components (ridges) of zip-lock fasteners run along its top 20 and right perimeters 24, while the female components (grooves) of the same run along its bottom 22 and left 26 perimeters. This enables the top perimeter 20 of this module to be connected to the bottom perimeter of another identically configured one, its right perimeter 24 to be connected to the left perimeter of yet another, and so forth.

[0015] It should be noted that it is anticipated that the front sheet of the module will be the same shape as, but slightly larger than, the rear sheet and that the connecting elements will be disposed along the edges of that larger front sheet (which constitute the perimeters of the overall module). However, this size relationship could be reversed, and the connecting elements could be situated along the rear sheet, instead, with the front sheet having one edge that is not secured to the rear sheet to form a pocket that faces the art viewer.

[0016] When multiple modules are filled with artwork and are interconnected, it produces a composite display sheet, as shown in FIG. 2, that can be pinned or otherwise attached to a display surface for viewing of the assembly.
