Modular display system
View Patent ↗A modular display system for the display of figurines includes a plurality of display cases, each case having multiple walls that, together, define an open front allowing access to an interior area. Each case includes a platform for supporting the figurine. The pair of side walls are selectively removable so that multiple display cases may be coupled together to form a larger display case. Side walls are connected to respective bottom and top walls using interlocking configurations. The modular display system includes upper and lower light bars coupled to top and bottom walls, respectively, each light bar selectively and removably including either a backlight or a black light and is angularly adjustable. Each display case includes an input port configured to receive electrical current and an output port configured to transmit electrical current such that electricity is transferable between adjacent display cases being coupled together.
1 . A modular display system for the display of at least one figurine, comprising:
a plurality of display cases, each display case including a bottom wall, a top wall opposite said bottom wall, a pair of side walls that are positioned opposite one another and extend between lateral edges of said bottom and top walls, respectively, and a back wall extending between opposed rear edges of said bottom, top, and said pair of side walls, respectively, wherein said bottom, top, side and back walls, together, define an open front and an interior area;
wherein said each display case includes an input port configured to receive electrical current from an upstream display case and an output port configured to transmit electrical current to a downstream display case;
a lower light bar coupled to said bottom wall and positioned in said interior area, said lower light bar being electrically connected to said input port;
an upper light bar coupled to said top wall and positioned in said interior area, said upper light bar being electrically connected to said input port; and
a platform situated atop said lower wall in said interior area, said platform having an upper surface having a planar configuration configured to support the figurine;
said pair of side walls includes a left sidewall and a right sidewall;
a top edge of said left side wall and a left side edge of said top wall include interlocking dovetail configurations such that said left side wall is removably coupled to said top wall;
a top edge of said right sidewall and a right-side edge of said top wall include interlocking dovetail configurations such that said right side wall is removably coupled to said top wall;
said left side edge of said top wall includes electrical contacts in electrical communication with said upper light bar;
said right side edge of said bottom wall includes electrical contacts in electrical communication with said lower light bar.
2 . The modular display system as in claim 1 , wherein each side wall of said pair of side walls is removably coupled to said top and bottom walls, respectively.
3 . The modular display system as in claim 1 ,
wherein said left sidewall defines a control box and a battery situated therein that is in electrical communication with said input port.
4 . The modular display system as in claim 1 , wherein said lower light bar includes at least one of a black light or a backlight.
5 . The modular display system as in claim 1 , wherein sa id upper light bar includes at least one of a black light or a backlight.
6 . The modular display system as in claim 3 , wherein:
said lower light bar is electrically connected to said battery and to said upper light bar with a light bar wire; and
an inner surface of said left sidewall defines a groove into which said light bar wire is nested.
