DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Referring ton FIGS. 1A-1B, FIG. 1A exemplarily illustrates a side perspective view of the display and storage case 100, showing the three plates 101, 102, and 103 hingedly connected to each other, FIG. 1B exemplarily illustrates a side sectional view of the display and storage case 100 along the section lines AA in FIG. 1A. The display and storage case 100 comprises the set of three plates 101, 102, and 103 hingedly joined to each other. The three plates 101, 102, and 103 are hinged at sections 104a and 104b as shown in FIGS. 1A-1B. The display and storage case 100 is configured to display and store a display element 200 of a predefined range of size, in other words, is a hybrid ticket holder which can hold lottery or Keno tickets. As disclosed in the FIGS. 2 and 3, when the display and storage case 100 is fully opened and erected vertically, it allows to hold the tickets of the players towards the fellow players. When the player wants to save the ticket, he/she can store the ticket within the display and storage case 100 by folding the corresponding plates.

[0011] FIG. 2 exemplarily illustrates a side perspective view of the display and storage case 100, showing the display element 200 being displayed on one 102 of the plates 101, 102, and 103. The display and storage case 100 configured to exhibit a display element 200 or store the display element 200 is disclosed herein. The display and storage case 100 comprises a set of three flanged plates 101, 102, and 103 hingedly connected to each other, where one of the plates 101 is foldable to conform across the other two plates 102 and 103. Two of the plates 101 and 102 are inclinedly erected, and a display element 200 is inclinedly attachable on to one 102 of the inclinedly erected plates 101, 102, and 103. Here the player holding the display element 200, for example, a keno ticket or a lottery ticket, is allowed to display the ticket to the fellow players during a lottery draw. The plain surface of the flanged plates 101, 102, and 103 allows the user to position a ticket.

[0012] Then, as disclosed in the detailed description of FIG. 3, the display element 200 is secured on to one 101 of the plates 101, 102, and 103, and the other two plates 102 and 103 are closed to secure the display element 200 therewithin. In an embodiment, the set of three flanged plates 101, 102, and 103 comprises a first plate 101, a second plate 102 and a third plate 103 hingedly connected to each other, where the length of the first plate 101 is a summation of the length of the second plate 102 and the third plate 103. In an embodiment, the first plate 101 and the second plate 102 are erected vertically at an angle, where the display element 200 is positioned on the non-erected third plate 103 and inclined on to the second plate 102. When the display and storage case 100 is unfolded along an angle, it allows the predefined area on the second plate 102 to attach a lottery ticket which can be displayed to the fellow players during a lottery draw.

[0013] FIG. 3 exemplarily illustrates a side view of the display and storage case 100 in a folded state to secure and store the display element 200 therewithin. In an embodiment, the display element 200 is positioned over the horizontally positioned first plate 101, and the second plate 102 and the third plate 103 together is folded over the first plate to secure the display element 200 therewithin. In an embodiment, the length of the third plate 103 is significantly less than that of the second plate 102. In an embodiment, is the display and storage case 100 is made of plastic. In an embodiment, the third plate 103 further comprises a tab member 105 extending from a mid-section of the third plate 104, which is configured to snap fit to a slot 106 positioned on the first plate 101 when folded.
