Abstract
A method or kit for mounting or displaying a collectable flying disc. The kit includes a box clamp frame capable of capturing a segment of an edge lip and web of a disc under gentle pressure, where gentle pressure is sufficient to immobilize the disc in a generally upright position when the box clamp frame is seated on a horizontal surface, or in a generally pendent position when the box clamp frame is hung from a vertical surface. Discs may be displayed with other memorabilia such as photographs on a wall or positioned on a desk or table, for example.
Claims10
A method for displaying an ultimate trophy disc in either an erect standing and upright position or a hanging and dependent position, which comprises
- (a) securing a segment of a lip and web of a disc in a box clamp, the box clamp having two sides, a front and a back by:
- (i) assembling the back plate and the side brackets to define a three-sided box having an open front, open top and open bottom thereof;
- (ii) inserting a segment of an edge of a disc into slots in the side brackets, where the shape of the slots generally matches the shape of the lips;
- (iii) clampingly immobilizing the disc under pressure by interdigitatingly affixing the front platen with said side brackets, thereby forming a four-sided box clamp around an edge segment of the disc;
- and,
- (b) displaying the box clamp with captive disc in a vertical or a pendent position.
A box clamp displayedly mounting a flying disc, which comprises:
- a) a flying disc having a thickened lip with a diameter of 10.75 inches, a top web with a topside face, an underside face, an aerodynamic shape, and a hollow interior defined by said lip and said underside face of said top web;
- b) a box-shaped frame that is open at the top and bottom, said frame having four sides including:
- (i) a front platen;
- (ii) a back plate, wherein the front platen and back plate define a front and back of the box clamp body;
- (iii) a first side bracket;
- (iv) a second side bracket, wherein the side brackets define two sides of said box clamp;
- and,
- further wherein each side bracket is slotted, and said slots are enabled to receive a segment of the lip, such that a pressure on the topside face of the web is exerted by the front platen as assembled on said side brackets, thereby immobilizing the disc in the box clamp in condition for display.
