Abstract
A display device is provided which may be used to display surfboard fins and related product literature. In one example, a display device includes a plurality of tubes and machined parts which may be assembled and configured as further disclosed herein. Such a display device may be used, for example, to hold and secure surfboard fins to facilitate display of the fins and permit the handling of the fins by consumers. Advantageously, the display device may also be implemented to prevent the fins from being completely detached from the display device without the use of an appropriate security device. The display device may also be implemented to hold and secure information (e.g., product literature) associated with the fins.
Claims24
A display device for surfboard fins comprising:
- a trunk;
- a support member comprising:
- a substantially solid thin planar disk defining a continuous circular outer perimeter of the support member,
- a central aperture adapted to receive the trunk therethrough, and
- a perimeter aperture positioned substantially near the perimeter of the support member;
- a security tether adapted to attach to the support member using the perimeter aperture and adapted to secure a surfboard fin to the support member for display in a suspended position entirely below the support member while permitting manipulation by a consumer and limiting removal of the surfboard fin from the display device by the consumer;
- and
- a security screw adapted to insert through the perimeter aperture to secure the security tether relative to the support member.
A display device comprising:
- a trunk;
- a support member comprising an aperture adapted to receive the trunk therethrough;
- a security member adapted to secure an item to the support member for display and manipulation by a consumer and limit removal of the item from the display device by the consumer;
- a collar adapted to secure the support member to the trunk, wherein the collar is adapted to contact at least a bottom surface of the support member to hold the support member at least at a display position relative to a bottom end of the trunk, wherein the collar comprises an aperture adapted to receive the trunk therethrough;
- and
- wherein the support member comprises:
- a hub,
- at least one branch connected to the hub and adapted to support the item, wherein the branch comprises a clamp member, a security aperture, a pin aperture adapted to receive a pin of the item, and a recess, wherein the recess is adapted to receive the item for display, and
- wherein the security member is a security screw adapted to insert through the clamp member and screw into the security aperture to secure the item to the display device without exerting pressure on the item so as to permit the item to rotate about the pin while the item remains secured to the display device.
A display device comprising:
- a trunk;
- a support member comprising an aperture adapted to receive the trunk therethrough;
- a security member adapted to secure an item to the support member for display and manipulation by a consumer and limit removal of the item from the display device by the consumer;
- wherein the support member comprises a slit extending from an outer surface of the support member to the aperture of the support member;
- wherein the slit defines substantially opposite surfaces of the support member;
- wherein the support member is adapted to receive a screw across the slit to pull the opposite sides together to exert pressure on the trunk to hold the support member at a display position relative to a bottom end of the trunk;
- and
- wherein the support member comprises:
- a hub,
- at least one branch connected to the hub and adapted to support the item, wherein the branch comprises a clamp member, a security aperture, a pin aperture adapted to receive a pin of the item, and a recess, wherein the recess is adapted to receive the item for display, and
- wherein the security member is a security screw adapted to insert through the clamp member and screw into the security aperture to secure the item to the display device without exerting pressure on the item so as to permit the item to rotate about the pin while the item remains secured to the display device.
