Description

1 2404333 An Identification Display System This invention relates to a
system and method for identifying physical objects, such as items of luggage, constructed in such a way as to allow a wide variety of displays to be easily utilised.
There are a wide variety of systems for identifying luggage that suffer from several limitations. For example: difficulty in viewing from a distance; ease, or limit, of customization available; problems associated with attaching the identifier to the item.
An object of this invention is to provide an identification system which can be applied to a wide variety of objects, is easily customisable and has good visual range.
Another object of this invention is to provide an easily scalable system which, by way of example, will be of use to parents of small children where the system could be on a child's bag and would allow the child to illustrate their own luggage.
Still a further object of this invention is too provide a system which will permit a wide range of media to be used on the display surface.
Accordingly, this invention provides an Identification system including a transparent member, a media support member and a closure system affixed to the object, luggage, trunk, flight case and the like, in such a way to be easily displayed.
Preferably the Identification system is made of material that is compatible with the luggage, or other container, that may be cloth, plastics, metal, wood materials or any combination of these materials.
Advantageously the invention may be utilised with a wide variety of different shaped containers.
Other aspects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment.
A preferred embodiment, by way of example only, of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIGURE 1 shows the whole system configured for the end panel of an article of luggage; FIGURE 2 shows cross-section A to A illustrated on Figure 1.
As shown in Figure 1 the system comprises of a piece of, in this example, luggage 1 with a fixed panel 5. Attached to the rim of this panel is a fastening device 2. A transparent member 3 embodies a mating edge 6 to engage in the fastening device 2. A media support member 4 is of such dimensions as to fit snugly inside the transparent member 3 and against the fixed panel 5.
Figure 2 shows the cross section A to A of Figure 1 in an exploded diagrammatic form for clarity.
An image, which, by way of example only, could be a manually applied original work or machine printed, may be applied to the media support member 4, which as indicated, may be of various materials appropriate to the applying technology. The fastening device 2 is then closed with the media support member 4 inside thus enabling unique identification of the physical object.
The fastening device is of a type suited to each container construction which may be, by way of em example only and not limited to, zip fasteners, plastic press seals, "Velcro'type fixings or adhesive strips.
An alternative embodiment the media support member is bonded to fixed panel 5.
In another embodiment the media support member 5 is specially coated to take, by way of example, a "dry marker" type ink.
In another embodiment the media support member 4 may be hinged to any part of the edge of the fixed panel 5 or may be completely removable. i
In another embodiment the transparent member 3 may be hinged to any part of the edge of the fixed panel 5, via the fastening device, or by direct attachment, or may be completely removable.
In yet another alternative embodiment the fastening device 2 is lockable.
