Abstract

A packaging arrangement for a wearable ornament, such as a pin-backed figurine that is supplied with a loop backer enabling the figurine to be coupled with a rope or chain, includes a post for display of the figurine using with the loop backer when not being worn. The figurine on the post may be snapped into a base, the base having a base top and base bottom that are separable from one another. A transparent cover encloses the figurine on the post atop the base, with a backing held in place behind the figurine in the packaging by retention tabs proximate to top corners of the transparent cover, by alignment ridges of the base top and by support posts inside the base bottom. The figurine may therefore be worn either through being pinned or on a rope or chain, or may be displayed either on just the post or on the post atop the base.

a figurine, the figurine including at least two pins;

a backer, the backer including at least two pin receptacles spaced for removably receiving the at least two pins of the figurine;

a post, the post including at least one pin channel, the at least one pin channel capable of permitting the at least two pins to pass;

a base top, the base top including at least:

a recess configured for removably receiving a foot of the post;

a first alignment ridge; and

a second alignment ridge;

a base bottom, the base bottom configured for removably receiving the base top;

a transparent cover, the transparent cover configured for slidably enclosing at least the base top; and

a backing, the backing configured to fit adjacent to a back face of the base top and within the transparent cover,

wherein the first alignment ridge and the second alignment ridge of the base top are spaced to permit the backing to rest in between the first alignment ridge and the second alignment ridge of the base top.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the base bottom includes at least two side posts and at least a middle post positioned proximate to a rear wall of the base bottom, wherein the backing rests on a floor of the base bottom, the backing positioned between the at least two side posts, the middle post, and the rear wall of the base bottom.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the post is snappably removable from the base top.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the base top includes at least a base top recess configured for snappably removably receiving a foot portion of the post.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent cover includes at least two backing retention tabs.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent cover clips onto the base top through the engagement of at least two tabs disposed horizontally along the right and left sides of the base top.
