Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, I presently contemplate a cruciform support base (20), semi-circular dial (10), and concentric semi-circular brace (16) that work together to support the corner of a record and/or planar article. The dial (10) and brace (16) are fastened to the support base (20) and machined in such a way that they form a simple, economical, and adaptable mechanical unit (24). Once paired with a minimum number of units, and mounted to a wall, they cooperate to display any number of records, planar articles, and/or combination thereof in an attractive, tight, grid-like configuration. Furthermore, the design of this system also allows for any one record and/or planar article to be easily retrieved or stored with the swipe of a finger.
Description
- Wall mounted frames provide a method for showcasing and storing planar articles. Specifically, these frames provide room decoration, openly displaying collections of a particular artist, genre, taste, or rarity and protection from damage or improper storing. Typically multiple articles are positioned in a grid-like fashion to achieve a collage effect.
- Previous display frames for phonograph records, or like planar articles, lack the ability to efficiently remove, insert, and display items one wishes to access; this embodiment permits all of these operations with a single, novel and adaptable mechanism. This was the motivation behind this invention; I couldn't find anything that suited these requirements.
- Many prior art patents exist, as the first phonographic record is over 100 years old (U.S. Pat. No. 546,586—1896), but such display frames do not provide a solution as adaptable, simple, and economical as the ensuing embodiment herein. Below is a table of applicable prior art discovered by a thorough patentability search.

- U.S. Pat. No. 4,497,125 to Hutchinson—1985

- This patent resembles the intent of the embodiment herein. A plurality of records may be mounted to a wall using a series of square1 blocks that are machined with carefully designed channels which are positioned at the vertices of a grid of records. These blocks require the record to be slid in from the top through a channel the depth of the block. There is no motion to this device, specifically no articulation to latch a record in position and furthermore, each record, or planar article, rests at an angle to the wall, not parallel to the wall. Also, if milled from a block of material, this device consists of some precisely square and angled grooves which would be difficult to construct, leading to higher manufacturing cost. This patent was issued in 1985 and is over 20 years old. 1 The drawings depict a square and a circle and the specification notes that the shape is not critical to the invention.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,152 to Brown—1987
-
- This patent also resembles the intent of the embodiment herein. A plurality of records may be mounted to a wall using a combination of cross and elbow shaped pieces that consist of specially molded recesses/ridges which are positioned at the vertices of a grid of records. This device is motionless and attached to a wall by a single nail. The downside of this design is that the hole which receives the nail can easily be worn due to repetitive use, especially in drywall which is a common residential wall material, leading to a failure of the display and removal objectives of the device. This device is also not adaptable, in that separate elbow and cross pieces are needed to constrain corners and intersections respectively; also when any one of these pieces are removed there is nothing left to support the record, so it will immediately fall, potentially damaging it. This patent was issued in 1987 and is over 20 years old.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,858,875 to Nielsen—1989
-
- While this device was not created to hold phonograph records, it shares a semblance to the embodiment herein. It is a pocket-like holder “for mirrors and similar elements [that] includes a base element and a plurality of holding members, with the base element being adapted, by breaking along the weakening lines formed by a cross-shaped recess . . . and with a shape corresponding to the shape of the holding members being provided with locking pins for the introduction into locking holes of the base element of the sections which are furthermore provided with fixing holes.” The constraining method is motionless and may be attached to the wall through its “fixing holes” with a pan-head screw. Mirrors and similar elements are latched to the base element by the friction fit of a “locking pin.” Also, as with U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,152 to Brown (1987), when any one of the “holding members” are removed there is nothing left to support the displayed element, so it will immediately fall, potentially damaging once held articles. Coincidentally, and unknown to me until my patentability search, this device utilizes a similar adaptable base concept whereby breaking along “weakening lines” of a single unit allows for multiple shapes to support both corners and intersections for a grid of display elements. This patent was issued in 1989 and is over 20 years old.
- The remaining (non-bolded) prior-art patents from the previous table may be characterized as either fully constrained, picture-frame-like display cases from U.S. Pat. No. 3,107,783 to Corey et al (1963); U.S. Pat. No. 4,041,630 to Holbrook (1977); U.S. Pat. No. 4,258,488 to Schienben (1981); U.S. Pat. No. 4,290,530 to Wooster (1981); U.S. Pat. No. 4,578,886 to Lofredo (1986); or U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,721 to Levitan (2000) or phonograph-only display cases from U.S. Pat. No. 2,663,416 to Hirsch (1953) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,994 to Rentch (1985).
- Picture frame-like display cases constrain a record on all six sides by support members spanning the dimensions of the record with either an open or transparent face for viewing and an opposing face that permits attachment to a wall. The common mode of operation is to slide a record into and/or out of the aforementioned structure. Phonograph-only display cases do not attempt to store the record sleeve. A phonograph record is constrained by a shaft that protrudes into the center of a record which is mounted to a larger recessed base that is connected to a frame and protective face.
- Both categories of these less-in-common prior-art patents do not integrate with one-another to create a decorative collage of records. This is a hindrance because one cannot mount multiple records in a tight grid-like fashion, specifically the width or height of a record, and conveniently slide records in and out for immediate play; one must un-mount the entire unit from the wall and further operate a mechanism to retrieve an article. They are also fixed dimensionally, permitting only phonograph records or planar articles the size of a phonograph record and/or sleeve to be displayed. These prior art record mounts are more suited for archival of records, rather than frequent playing.
- In accordance with one embodiment, I presently contemplate an adaptable wall mounted framing system for showcasing and retrieving records and/or planar articles.
- Accordingly several advantages of one or more aspects are as follows:
- (a) Adaptable
-
- The embodiment herein operates through a cooperative design methodology wherein adjacent identical units assist in the restraint of each planar article. Any number of planar articles may be displayed; each assembled unit offers the ability to form a grid-like system of varying scale, only limited by the size of the surface to which it is mounted. In addition to quantity, a multitude of different sizes of planar articles, not just 12″×12″ records, nor identically sized articles, may be displayed based on installation.
- (b) Simple
-
- The embodiment provides a simple solution, to remove, secure, and replace planar articles unlike prior art. It features a novel mechanism whereby the swipe of a single finger effectively removes one of the mounting constraints; unlocking two adjacent mechanisms permits removal of any planar article in the display “grid.” Conversely, locking of any planar article parallel to its mounting surface is performed by the same single swipe of a finger through the same adjacent mechanisms. This ability to retrieve and store desired work in a simple manner lends itself to commercial application, such as a merchandise display, where immediate access is preferred at purchase. Additionally, simple access is also preferred for personal use, under circumstances of frequent record playing.
- (c) Economical
-
- Each component features score, or weakening, lines that allow for reconfiguration of an assembly, based on location within the grid. One unit will work for any type of grid vertex therefore only one shape needs to be manufactured, thereby driving repeatability and increasing speed in the manufacturing workflow. The effect is lower cost of production as well as an increase in consistency.
- Another benefit of the embodiment I presently contemplate, is the two dimensional manufacturing process using flat raw stock/material. As with the benefit of manufacturing only one shape, production costs will be significantly cheaper than having to mill a block of material and/or perform a lengthy manufacturing procedure.
- Thus several advantages of one or more aspects are that the embodiment is adaptable, simple, and economical. Other advantages of one or more aspects will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and accompanying drawings.

- One embodiment of an assembled unit is illustrated in
FIG. 1 (perspective view) andFIG. 3 (exploded view). I presently anticipate a fully assembledunit 24, or variant thereof 26 28 30 32 34, contains (1) asupport base 20 of uniform thickness and cruciform shape with mountingholes 18, axially locatedcenter hole 14, and scoring lines orweakening cuts 22 half the depth of the base; (2) anouter retaining ring 16 of uniform thickness and semi-circle shape with mountingholes 18 coincident with the mounting hole locations of thesupport base 20 andweakening cuts 22 half the depth of the outer retaining ring; and (3) aninner retaining dial 10 of uniform thickness and semi-circle shape with axially locatedcenter hole 14, weakening cuts 22 half the depth of the inner retaining dial, andgripping point 12 the diameter of an average sized index finger. - I presently contemplate that the
support base 20, outer retainingring 16, andinner retaining dial 10 in this first embodiment be made of a rigid plastic, specifically polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), but other materials, such as wood or metal, are also suitable. Ideally the material is translucent, especially important forreference numerals - The support base's 20 typical diameter is 3 inches and typical thickness is that of an average record sleeve, anywhere from 0.25 inches for a single LP to 0.375 inches for a double LP, however it is not limited to either of these dimensions, as any planar article may be substituted for which these dimensions could scale by a factor proportional to the planar article's size. The
outer retaining ring 16 andinner retaining dial 10 dimensions are tied to the support base's diameter, and only need to be as thick as necessary to securely constrain a record or planar article. - I presently contemplate that the
support base 20, outer retainingring 16, andinner retaining dial 10 in this first embodiment be jointed together by a self-tapping screw throughcenter hole 14.Assembled units 24 26 28 30 32 34 may then be attached to a wall by nails through the mountingholes 18 of length more than the thickness of 20 and 16 combined, such that a secure connection may be made between the assembledunit 24 26 28 30 32 34 and its mounting surface. However, this mounting technique is not the only one conceivable, if the mounting surface were magnetized, by magnetic paint for instance, opposing magnets could be inset into thesupport base 20 and mountingholes 18 could be removed, wherein theouter retaining ring 16 could be glued to thesupport base 20. Alternatively, double-sided adhesive material could be applied between the assembledunit 24 26 28 30 32 34 and its mounting surface. There are many options for mounting to wallboard of various materials; the embodiment herein could easily be modified to accommodate any mounting substrate. - At present I believe that this embodiment operates most efficiently, but the other embodiments are also satisfactory.
- The inner retaining/
semi-circular dial 10 is allowed to pivot about thecenter hole 14 allowing two modes of constraint—fixed or free. This action is initiated by the user, wherein one places their finger intogripping point 12 and rotatesinner retaining dial 10 into either fixed or free position. In order for rotational operation to be achieved, the self-tapping screw throughcenter hole 14 should be set to the correct torque, such that theinner retaining dial 10 is allowed to rotate aboutcenter hole 14. If the self-tapping screw is too tight, theinner retaining dial 10 won't be able to spin, if too loose, the dial won't stay at its last position or worse won't securely constrain a planar article. - It takes four of the adapted assembled units, two of 32 and two of 34, to support all four corners of a single record/square
planar article 40 or single non-squareplanar article 42. These adapted assembled units may be derived from a fully assembledunit 24, by snapping-off two ofsupport base 20's arms along itsweakening lines 22, snapping theouter retaining ring 16 in half along its weakeningline 22, and snapping theinner retaining dial 10 in half along its weakeningline 22, thereby changing the once cruciform shapedsupport base 20 and it's child components into an “L” shape. - If it is desired to display more than one planar article, more than four fully assembled
units 24 may be reconfigured along theirweakening lines 22 in order to create a collage of planar articles as illustrated byFIG. 2 and adapted assembledunits 26 28 30 32 34. This exhibits the adaptability of the present embodiment, along with the cooperative nature that exists between assembled units. - Thus the reader will see that, according to one embodiment of the invention, I have provided a more economical, simple, and adaptable device that can be used not only for phonographic records, but a multitude of planar articles of varying size. In addition, planar articles may be removed and inserted as much as one desires, allowing for either a dynamic or static collection of articles.
- While the above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any embodiment, but rather as exemplifications of various embodiments thereof. Many other ramifications and variations are possible within the teachings of the various embodiments. For example, an alternative fastening technique for base unit attachment to its surface, a different material, shape for components, or a unique display configuration other than a grid—say a pattern of letters or a simple shape.
- Thus the scope of the Invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, and not by the examples given.
