Abstract
A ball display case has base and a cover that is securable to the base. The cover and base at least partially enclose a space for holding a ball when the cover is secured to the base. The cover can be moved to a position in which the cover cannot be non-destructively removed from the base without moving the cover relative to the base away from this position. A lock is adapted for selective application to at least one of the base and the cover. The lock prevents non-destructive movement of the cover away from the position. The lock is adapted for selectively and irreversibly converting the display case from an unlocked condition in which the cover is releasably secured to the base to a locked condition in which the cover cannot be non-destructively removed from the base.
Claims9
A tamper resistant ball display case comprising:
- a base;
- a cover securable to the base by moving the cover relative to the base from a first position in which the cover is engaged with the base and can be separated from the base without damaging any part of the case and a second position in which the cover is engaged with the base and cannot be non-destructively removed from the base without moving the cover relative to the base away from said second position, the cover and base at least partially enclosing a space for holding the ball when the cover is secured to the base;
- and
- a lock adapted for selective application to at least one of the base and the cover such that the lock assumes a locking position in which the lock engages at least one of the cover and the base when the cover is in said second position in a manner that prevents non-destructive movement of the cover away from said second position to separate the cover from the base and that prevents non-destructive movement of the lock out of the locking position, said lock thus being adapted for selectively and irreversibly converting the display case from an unlocked condition in which the cover is releasably secured to the base to a locked condition in which the cover cannot be non-destructively removed from the base.
