Abstract
Abstract A wall display assembly comprises a wallboard having a shape and markings thereon representative of a sports playing area. The wallboard is designed for attaching to a wall and has a plurality of holes. At least one frame is provided, each frame having a hook for passing through one of these holes and engaging a rear surface of the wallboard in order to attach the frame to the wallboard. The frame has surfaces for receiving and retaining an object to be displayed at a selected location on the wallboard in relation to the playing area. The object can be a picture or other sports related object, and the frame can be shaped to accommodate the picture or provide a platform for the object.
Description
1138~
THIS INVENTION relates to a wall display assembly and component parts thereof particularly adapted for use by sports enthusiasts.
It is an object of this invention to provide a wall display assembly for exhibiting sports events, or sports personalities, or both.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a wall display assembly which can be secured to a conventional wall covering or which itself can form the wall covering.
Further objects of this invention will become evident in view of the following detailed disclosure.
~r 113l~19~
In accordance with this invention there is provided a wall display assembly which comprises a wallboard having a shape and markings thereon representative of a sports play-ing area, means for attaching said wallboard to a wall, a 5 plurality of holes in said wallboard and at least one frame having hanging means in the form of a hook for passing through a said hole and engaging a rear surface of the wall-board for attaching the frame to the wallboard, said frame having surfaces for receiving and retaining an object to be 10 displayed at a selected location on the wallboard in relation to the playing area.
The sports playing area may be of a sport, such as football, baseball or the like.
The frame may be shaped to accommodate a picture (the 15 object to be displayed) or to provide a platform upon which to place an object such as a sports related object.
When forming the wall covering, the back surface of the wallboard can be coated with an adhesive composition - whereby it can be adhesively attached to a wall. However, 20 it is preferred, in any event, that the board area having the holes be spaced from any other surface against or on which it is supported so that hooks can be used to project through the holes to C - .
1~L3~1~9 support the displays. Spacer means or feet are thus preferably provided on the back of the board and these are dimensioned so that hooks do not foul and thus mark or scratch the wall behind the board.
The invention will now be further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which :-Fig. 1 is a front view of a baseball wallboard according to this invention;
Figs. 2,3 and 4 are front views of a hockey wallboard, football wallboard and basketball wallboard respectively;
Fig. 5 is an isometric view of a display means of this invention;
Figs. 6 and 10 are front oblique views of alternative display means;
Figs. 7, 8 and 9 are each-isometric views of still further display means each of which is particularly adapted for association with a specific sport.
113~199 _4_ Referring firstly to Fig. 5 of the accompanying drawings, the display means 10, in this case, includes a circular frame.12 comprising an upper semi-circular frame section 14. The lower frame section 16 extends outwardly from the upper frame section 14 to form an inwardly directed.lip 18. This construction of the frame 12 permits the insertion of a circular picture 20 into the frame 12 so that it rests against the outer surface of the upper frame section 14, against the inner surface of the lip 18 when in place and has its lower edge located between a stop 22 and the flange 18. In this embodiment, the picture 20 is removable from the frame so that it can be replaced.
The frame 12 includes, at the top thereof, - 15 an L-shaped hook 11 which fits operatively into a hole 13 in the wallboard 15 and a pin 17 is provided at the bottom of the frame to fit into a different hole 19 of the wallboard 15. The pins 17 on the frames are op-tional.
.
20The L-shaped hook 11 has one limb 11a extending rearwardly and the other 11b vertically upwardly so that the latter limb engages behind the wallboard in - -: . - .

use. The pin 17, in each case, simply extends rear-wardly at right angles to the plane of the frame and into its hole 19 to prevent swinging of the frame.
A platform display means 23 may alternatively be used and is also shown in Fig. 5. The platform display 23 comprises a platform 25 and a depending front wall section 24 formed by a cut-out section 26.
The platform display 23 may be hung from the wallboard 15 by means of L-shaped hooks 28 which fit into holes 30 in the wallboard 15. These hooks are the same as those described above. The platform 25 can support an article such as a trophy 32 on its upper surface when in place on the wallboard 15.
Referring now to Fig. 6 of the drawings, the display means may, alternati~ely, comprise a rectangular frame 34 having an access slot 36 in the top and into which a rectangular picture 38 can be slid so that its edges are located in channels in the inner surfaces of the frame. The frame 34 may be hung from a wallboard by means of an L-shaped hook 40 similar to that described abo~e.

'':: ' ~13~1~9 Referring now to Fig. 1 a wallboard 15 may simulate a baseball field design 44 and a plurality of frames 12 may be hung about the periphery and within the field 44. It is, however, preferred that simple stickers 42 be applied to the peripheral region and such stickers may cover any required printed material or pictures. In addition, larger frames 46 may be provided within the field design 44. In this case, the frames may be made to resemble a part of a baseball ball as shown in Fig. 7 in which case the display has a flat face for adhesively supporting a picture.
-Referring now to Fig. 2, a wallboard 48 simulates an ice hockey rink design 50 and frames 12 may be hung both within the rink 50 and along the periphery of the rink 50. Alternatively, and prefer-ably, stickers 49 may be applied to the peripheral region. In this case, the frames could resemble an ice hockey puck as shown in Fig. 8. In this case, a picture is to be adhesively attached to the front face 61 of the frame.

Referring now to Fig. 4, a wallboard 54 simulates a basketball court design 56 which also can be provided with a plurality of frames or platform displays (not shown) either within the court or along its periphery.
Again the frames may simulate a part of a basketball.
A similar frame 63, but rectangular in shape (see Fig. 10) may be made to adhesively receive, on its front face 64, a sticker carrying a picture thereon.
It is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments shown or described but includes modifications which will be evident to the person skilled in the art.
