Abstract
A baseball card mounting and display device comprising a pair of substantially rigid, transparent plastic plates which are arranged in a contiguous planar orientation. The bottom plate is formed to include a plurality of corner bosses which extend upwardly from the upper surface and the bottom plate for maintaining a baseball card in a desired orientation upon the upper surface. The corner bosses, which extend upwardly to a height equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the baseball card, are oriented to substantially match the configuration of the baseball card and spaced from one another at distances substantially identical to the dimensions of the baseball card.
Claims10
A baseball card storage and display device, comprising:
- a substantially rigid, transparent front plate having a generally planar bottom surface;
- a substantially rigid, transparent back plate having a generally planar upper surface;
- and
- at least four corner bosses formed on and extending upwardly from said upper surface of said back plate for maintaining at least one generally rectangular baseball card in a desired orientation upon said upper surface, said corner bosses each defining a top surface and being oriented to capture only the corners of a maintained baseball card and spaced from one another at distances substantially identical to the length and width dimensions of a maintained baseball card, said corner bosses further extending upwardly to a height slightly exceeding the thickness of a maintained baseball card;
- said front plate and said back plate being secured to one another in a contiguous planar orientation with said bottom surface being abutted against the top surface of each of said corner bosses such that a maintained baseball card would be disposed but not compressed between said upper surface and said bottom surface.
A baseball card storage and display device, comprising:
- a substantially rigid, transparent front plate having a generally planar bottom surface;
- a substantially rigid, transparent back plate having a generally planar upper surface and a rim member formed on and extending upwardly from said upper surface about the peripheral edges thereof;
- and
- a plurality of corner bosses formed on and extending upwardly from said upper surface of said back plate, said rim member and said corner bosses being operable to maintain a plurality of generally rectangular baseball cards in desired orientations upon said inner surface, said corner bosses being oriented relative said rim member and one another such that said corner bosses and portions of said rim member capture the corners of maintained baseball cards and said corner bosses being spaced from said rim member and one another at distances substantially identical to the length and width dimensions of maintained baseball cards, said rim member and said corner bosses each defining a top surface and extending upwardly to a height slightly exceeding the thickness of any maintained baseball card;
- said front plate and said back plate being secured to one another in a contiguous planar orientation with said bottom surface being abutted against the top surfaces of each of said corner bosses and the top surface of said rim member such that maintained baseball cards would be disposed but not compressed between said upper surface and said bottom surface.
