Abstract

Abstract A pilfer-proof display comprising a board including an area having a predetermined configuration, a plurality of object receiving posts secured to the board within this area with the free end of each post extending a selected distance from the board, a transparent substantially rigid cover member having an area substantially coextensive with the board area, at least one aperture in the transparent cover member proximate one edge thereof, a second aperture in the transparent cover member remote from the one edge, at least one supporting post secured to the board at a location selected to permit passage through the one aperture, the supporting post including at the free end thereof means for preventing the separation of the board and the cover member, proximate the supporting post, beyond the selected distance when the cover member and board are in parallel relation, the preventing means and the one aperture being selectively configured to permit rotation of the cover member about an axis parallel to the board, a closure post secured to the board at a location selected to permit passage through the second aperture, and the closure post including at the free end thereof locking means selectively displaceable from a first position, permitting the rotational displacement of the closure member, to a second position preventing the separation of the board and the cover member, proximate the closure post, beyond the selected distance.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 230 words
A pilfer-proof display comprising a board including an area having a predetermined configuration, a plurality of object receiving posts secured to said board within said area with the free end of each of said posts extending a selected distance from said board, a transparent cover member having an area substantially coextensive with said board area, at least one aperture in said transparent cover member proximate one edge thereof, a second aperture in said transparent cover member remote from said one edge, at least one supporting post secured to said board at a location selected to permit passage through said one aperture, said supporting post including at the free end thereof means for preventing the separation of said board and said cover member proximate said supporting post beyond said selected distance when said cover member and board are in parallel relation, said preventing means and said one aperture being selectively configured to permit rotation of said cover member about an axis parallel to said board, a closure post secured to said board at a location selected to permit passage through said second aperture, and said closure post including at the free end thereof locking means selectively displaceable from a first position permitting said rotational displacement of said closure member to a second position preventing the separation of said board and said cover member proximate said closure post beyond said selected distance.
