Abstract
A novelty advertising system using a plurality of hollow plastic rectangular enclosures simulating stacking boxes of real products to construct an advertising display is herein disclosed. The hollow enclosures provide replaceable advertising inserts depicting the product being sold. Each enclosure is provided with a plurality of interlocking posts and sockets allowing creation of large stable displays without using large quantities of real product which cannot be sold. Such displays can be built with minimal expense while avoiding a danger of toppling displays built with the actual heavy product.
Claims11
A modular display system arranged for creating an advertising display, said modular display system comprising:
- a plurality of primary display boxes, each further comprising:
- a plurality of posts;
- a plurality of sockets;
- a top surface having a first group of said posts located at opposed corners thereof;
- a bottom surface having a first group of said sockets located at opposed corners thereof and corresponding to positions of said first group of posts respectively;
- a first side surface having one of said posts centrally located thereof;
- a second side surface having one of said sockets located centrally thereof;
- a front surface having a second group of said sockets arranged along a horizontal centerline;
- and,
- a rear surface having a third group of said sockets arranged along a horizontal centerline;
- a plurality of secondary display boxes detachably interlocked with said primary display boxes;
- and,
- a plurality of product cards removably affixed to said primary and secondary display boxes;
- wherein said primary and secondary display boxes are arranged in a free-standing configuration:
- and,
- wherein said top surface, said bottom surface, said first side surface, said second side surface, said front surface, and said rear surface cooperatively form a six-sided rectangular structure.
A modular display system arranged for creating an advertising display, said modular display system comprising:
- a plurality of coextensively shaped primary display boxes, each further comprising:
- a plurality of posts;
- a plurality of sockets;
- a top surface having a first group of said posts located at opposed corners thereof;
- a bottom surface having a first group of said sockets located at opposed corners thereof and corresponding to positions of said first group of posts respectively;
- a first side surface having one of said posts centrally located thereof;
- a second side surface having one of said sockets located centrally thereof;

- and,
- a rear surface having a third group of said sockets arranged along a horizontal centerline;
- a plurality of coextensively shaped secondary display boxes detachably interlocked with said primary display boxes;
- and,
- a plurality of product cards removably affixed to said primary and secondary display boxes;
- wherein said primary and secondary display boxes are arranged in a free-standing configuration:
- and
- wherein said top surface, said bottom surface, said first side surface, said second side surface, said front surface, and said rear surface cooperatively form a six-sided rectangular structure.
A method of utilizing a modular display system arranged for creating an advertising display, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of coextensively shaped primary display boxes, each further comprising:
- a plurality of posts;
- a plurality of sockets;
- a top surface having a first group of said posts located at opposed corners thereof;
- a bottom surface having a first group of said sockets located at opposed corners thereof and corresponding to positions of said first group of posts respectively;
- a first side surface having one of said posts centrally located thereof;
- a second side surface having one of said sockets located centrally thereof;
- a front surface having a second group of said sockets arranged along a horizontal centerline;
- and,
- a rear surface having a third group of said sockets arranged along a horizontal centerline;
- wherein said top surface, said bottom surface, said first side surface, said second side surface, said front surface, and said rear surface cooperatively form a six-sided rectangular structure;
- providing and detachably interlocking a plurality of coextensively shaped secondary display boxes with said primary display boxes;
- providing and removably affixing a plurality of product cards to said primary and secondary display boxes;
- and,
