Abstract
Abstract A jewelry display device includes a frame, a support for the frame and a plate pivotally carried on the frame for movement about an essentially horizontal axis. The plate carries, on one side thereof, an outline shape simulating at least the head and a part of the upper body of a human being and on the reverse side carries a reflective surface or mirror. The outline shape is capable of having pieces of jewelry displayed in a realistic environment so as to assist a potential purchaser in evaluating the desirability of the jewelry. A modified form of the invention includes a display pad to which the basic display unit just described is pivotally attached so that the display unit per se can be moved from a stored position to an elevated display position. In this form of the invention, the frame support is pivotally mounted to the supporting base or display pad and the frame is then pivotally mounted itself so that it can swing out for display purposes. A further modified form of the invention includes a carrying case into which the display unit is incorporated. The frame itself is again pivotally mounted on a frame support for pivoting about a vertical axis and the frame support is pivotally mounted to the carrying case one half of which serves as the supporting base and display pad so that the entire assembly can be collapsed for carrying purposes and elevated for display purposes.
