Abstract
A method or kit for mounting or displaying a collectable flying disc. The kit includes a box clamp frame capable of capturing a segment of an edge lip and web of a disc under gentle pressure, where gentle pressure is sufficient to immobilize the disc in a generally upright position when the box clamp frame is seated on a horizontal surface, or in a generally pendent position when the box clamp frame is hung from a vertical surface. Discs may be displayed with other memorabilia such as photographs on a wall or positioned on a desk or table, for example.

A method for displaying an ultimate trophy disc in either an erect standing and upright position or a hanging and dependent position, the ultimate trophy disc having a thin top web and an edge with thickened circumferential lip, the lip and web having a wing-like curvature, the web having a topside face defined by said wing-like curvature and an underside face defining a hollow area inside said circumferential lip, which comprises
- (a) providing a back plate defining a back of a box clamp, a front platen defining a front of said box clamp, and two side brackets defining two sides of said box clamp, wherein each said side bracket comprises a slot such that each said slot is configured with a thumb to fittingly receive the shape of said circumferential lip at either side of said box clamp;
- (b) securing a segment of said circumferential lip and web of said disc in said box clamp by:
- (i) assembling said back plate and said two side brackets to define a three-sided rectangular intermediate;
- (ii) inserting a segment of said circumferential lip into said slots in said side brackets;
- said thumb contacting engaging said underside face;
- (iii) clampingly immobilizing said segment under pressure by affixing said front platen onto said side brackets, thereby forming a four-sided box clamp around an edge segment of said disc, said disc captive therein;
- and,
- (c) displaying said box clamp with captive disc in a standing or a pendent position.
