Abstract
An art display box configured for storing, transporting, examining, and displaying pieces of artwork, such as nail art. The art display box includes transparent panels for viewing of the artwork from multiple views and a mounting plate for securely and removably affixing pieces of the artwork for shipment, handling, and evaluation. To further protect the pieces of artwork, the art display box provides a set of stoppers to maintain a predetermined gap between the mounting plate and the interior surface of a front panel.
Claims19
An apparatus for storing one or more pieces of artwork, the apparatus comprising:
- a front panel, the front panel being transparent;
- a set of side panels, the set of side panels being transparent, each of the set of side panels joined along edges to at least two other side panels and the front panel, and an interior surface of each of at least two side panels on opposing sides comprising a guide;
- a plurality of stoppers affixed on interior surfaces of the set of side panels;
- a mounting plate, the mounting plate positioned against the plurality of stoppers to create a predetermined gap between the mounting plate and the interior surface of the front panel, the mounting plate configured for removably affixing the one or more pieces of artwork, wherein the mounting plate is configured to magnetically couple with a base associated with the one or more pieces of artwork;
- and
- a back panel for enclosing the apparatus using the guides, and the back panel being transparent to enable viewing at least a part of a back surface of the mounting plate through the back panel.
A method of using an art display box, the method comprising:
- orienting the art display box with a front panel facing down, wherein the front panel is positioned below a back panel;
- removing the back panel by sliding the back panel in a first direction along at least one guide on a first side panel of the art display box;
- inserting a mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate comprises a mounting surface configured to couple with a base associated with one or more pieces of artwork, wherein the mounting plate is inserted with the mounting surface oriented toward an interior surface of the front panel, wherein the mounting plate is positioned against a plurality of stoppers, a respective stopper of the plurality of stopper is positioned at a joint between at least the first side panel and a second side panel to create a predetermined gap between the mounting surface of the mounting plate and the interior surface of the front panel, and wherein the predetermined gap is configured for preventing the one or more pieces of artwork, when installed, from touching the interior surface of the front panel, wherein the mounting plate is configured to securely hold the one or more pieces of artwork when the art display box is in any orientation;
- replacing the back panel by sliding the back panel in a second direction along the at least one guide on the first side panel of the art display box, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction;
- and
- orienting the art display box in a position such that the one or more pieces of artwork are visible through the front panel.
An art display box, comprising:
- a front panel, the front panel being transparent;
- a set of side panels, the set of side panels being transparent, each of the set of side panels joined along edges to at least two other side panels and the front panel, and an interior surface of each of at least two side panels on opposing sides comprising a guide;
- a plurality of stoppers affixed on interior surfaces of the set of side panels;
- a mounting plate, the mounting plate positioned against the plurality of stoppers to create a predetermined gap between the mounting plate and the interior surface of the front panel, the mounting plate configured for removably affixing one or more pieces of artwork, wherein the mounting plate is configured to magnetically couple with a base associated with the one or more pieces of artwork;
- and
- a back panel for enclosing the art display box using the guides, and the back panel being transparent to enable viewing at least a part of a back surface of the mounting plate through the back panel.
