In another embodiment, the eyewear display device includes an articulating joint allowing at least a portion of the support frame to be swiveled.
Claims9
A lockable eyewear display system comprising:
- an eyewear support frame attachable to a display object and defining a pair of resiliently movable locking members;
- a lock removably attachable to the support frame, the locking members of the support frame engaging complementary locking surfaces on the lock when the lock is attached to the support frame;
- and
- a key configured and operable to disengage the locking members from the lock to allow a user to remove the lock from the support frame the key includes a pair of spaced apart flexible cantilevers and a pair of user movable opposing pegs cooperatively configured with eyeholes disposed through the lock to engage the locking members with the pegs when the lock is attached to the support frame.
A lockable eyewear display system comprising:
- an eyewear support frame including a longitudinally-extending spine attachable to a display object, one end of the spine defining a pair of resiliently movable spaced-apart locking members each having a flange;
- a lock defining a central passageway for axially receiving at least a portion of the locking members therein, the lock having opposing ridges disposed in the central passageway and being configured to engage the flanges of the locking members such that the lock cannot be removed from the spine when the locking members are fully inserted in the lock;
- and
- a key defining a pair of resilient spaced-apart operating extensions movable inwards towards each other, the extensions each having a releasing protrusion positioned to engage the locking members when the key is abutted against the lock;
- wherein when the key is abutted against the lock and an inward force is applied to the operating extensions of the key, the release protrusions engage and compress the locking members to allow a user to remove the lock from the spine.
