Abstract
A display stand for displaying spherical articles, which when displayed with golf balls has the appearance of a spheroid with dimples thereon. The upper section of the stand includes generally circular support plates of varying diameters arranged in a stacked fashion one atop the other, and separated by centrally positioned generally tee-shaped spacing elements. The plates include generally C-shaped cut-out recesses cut into the peripheral edge thereof for receiving and holding golf balls therein. A light bulb may be positioned atop the top most spacing element or, alternatively, a fluorescent light tube may be positioned within the central support shaft, for lighting the display stand.
Claims15
A display device for displaying golf balls or the like, comprising:
- (a) an upper section including a plurality of supporting means arranged in a stacked fashion;
- (b) a base section supporting said upper section and including an upper surface;
- (c) a plurality of spacer means interposed between said supporting means and including top and bottom spacer means, said top spacer means including means for displaying a golf ball and said bottom spacer means being disposed above said upper surface of said base section;
- (d) each said supporting means being generally flat and circular and including a peripheral edge;
- (e) a series of similar C-shaped cut-out recesses cut into said peripheral edge so that the open portion of said C-shape faces outwardly of said peripheral edge and for receiving and supporting a spherical article of a diameter greater than the diameter of said C-shaped cut-out recesses such that said spherical article when supported in said C-shaped recess has a substantial portion extending beyond said peripheral edge;
- (f) said spacer means being of a length slightly less than the diameter of the spherical articles to be supported on the display device;
- (g) said C-shaped cut-out recesses being of similar dimension and spaced equidistant around said peripheral edge;
- (h) said C-shaped cut-out recesses being generally circular in configuration;
- and
- (i) said upper section being generally spherical in shape so that when displayed with the spherical articles the display device with the spherical articles thereon will have the appearance of a spheroid with dimples thereon.
