Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to display devices and more particularly pertains to a new display device for displaying items in a suitcase pocket.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a suitcase that has a housing. A pocket comprising a panel is coupled to the housing. An opening is positioned in the panel proximate to a top edge of the panel. A first coupler is coupled to the panel on an upper perimeter of the opening. A second coupler that is complimentary to the first coupler is coupled to the panel on a lower perimeter of the opening. A window is positioned in the panel and a display item is positioned in the pocket.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is an isometric projection view of a suitcase pocket display device according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a front view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a front view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new display device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the suitcase pocket display device 10 generally comprises suitcase 12 having a housing 14 that defines an internal space 16. A plurality of dividers 18 is positioned in the internal space 16 and coupled to the housing 14, defining a plurality of compartments 20 within the internal space 16. A plurality of closures 22 is coupled to the housing 14. One of each of the plurality of closures 22 is positioned proximate to a respective one of the plurality of compartments 20. Preferably, the plurality of closures 22 is a plurality of zippers 24. A handle 26 is positioned on a back 28 of the housing 14. The handle 26 comprises a pair of rods 30 and a centerpiece 32. Each of the pair of rods 30 has a first end 34 and a second end 36. The first ends 34 are coupled to the back 28 and the second ends are coupled to the centerpiece 32. Preferably, the pair of rods 30 is a plurality of nested sections 38, such that the pair of rods 30 is telescopic. A plurality of rollers 40 is coupled to a bottom 42 of the housing 14. The plurality of rollers 40 comprises a plurality of wheels 42. Preferably, the plurality of wheels 42 comprises four wheels.
A pocket 44 that comprises a panel 46 is coupled to the housing 14. The panel 46 may be coupled to a front 48 of the housing 14. The panel 46 may be coupled to the back 28 of the housing 14. The panel 46 may be rectangular. An opening 50 is positioned in the panel 46 proximate to a top edge 52 of the panel 46. A first coupler 54 is coupled to the panel 46 on an upper perimeter 56 of the opening 50. A second coupler 58 that is complimentary to the first coupler 54 is coupled to the panel 46 on a lower perimeter 60 of the opening 50. The first coupler 54 and the second coupler 58 may comprise a zipper-type closure 62 or be selected from the group of couplers 64 consisting of Velcro-type hook and Velcro-type loop closures. A window 66 is positioned in the panel 46. The window 66 is clear and flexible. A display item 68 is positioned in the pocket 44. The display item 68 comprises an advertisement 70 or a digital screen 72. The digital screen 72 may comprise a liquid crystal display 74. The digital screen 72 has a communicator 76 that is capable of receiving digital images to project on the digital screen 72.
In use, the opening 50 is positioned in the panel 46 such that the user can insert the display item 68 into the pocket 44 and the display item 68 is visible through the window 66, and the first coupler 54 is positioned to engage the second coupler 58 to secure the display item 68 in the pocket 44.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
