Auxiliary displays

Abstract

An auxiliary display for displaying pictures and other material in connection with electronic display devices. The auxiliary display is made in a frame attachable to an electronic display such as a monitor, wherein the frame includes an outer member having an opening and a backing for the outer member for suspending a photo against the opening. The suspension can be against a trap door, which is closable by rotatable fasterners against the backing.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . Apparatus for auxiliary displays, comprising: 
 means having a front surface for making a primary display; and    means connectable to said front surface of the primary display means for making a secondary display.    
     
     
         2 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 1  wherein said primary display is of electronic information and said secondary display is of photographic information.  
     
     
         3 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 2  wherein said primary means is an electronic monitor and said secondary display is photographic.  
     
     
         4 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 3  wherein said secondary display is made in a frame attachable to said front surface of said primary means.  
     
     
         5 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 4  wherein said frame has an opening in an outer member, a backing for said outer member, and means for suspending a souvenir within said opening.  
     
     
         6 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 5  wherein the suspending means comprises a trap door, and includes means for closing said trap door against said souvenir.  
     
     
         7 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 6  wherein said primary means includes an outer frame and said frame of said secondary display is attachable to a portion of said outer frame.  
     
     
         8 . The method of making an auxiliary display comprising the steps of: 
 (a) providing means for making a secondary display on a front surface of means for making a primary display; and    (b) connecting said means for making said secondary display to said means for making said primary display.    
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said primary display provides electronic information and said secondary display provides photographic information.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said secondary display is made in a frame attachable to said primary means.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein said frame includes an outer member having an opening therein, and a backing for said outer member, further including the step of suspending a photograph in said opening and against said backing.  
     
     
         12 . The method of claim  111  wherein the suspension is against a trap door in said backing.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said means for making said secondary display is attached to a portion of said front surface of said means for making said primary display.  
     
     
         14 . Apparatus for making an auxiliary display of pictorial information on a structure having a front surface and top boarder, with said front surface including a first display area, wherein 
 means are connectable to said structure for making said auxiliary display of said pictorial information with respect to said first display area, comprising:    a frame having means on a rear surface thereof for securing said frame to said front surface of said structure;    said frame having at least one opening for said auxiliary display; and    means for securing said auxiliary display against said opening.    
     
     
         15 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 14  wherein said structure is an electronic monitor and said first display area is surrounded within said front surface.  
     
     
         16 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 14  wherein the securing means comprises a trap door permitting said auxiliary display to be secured against said opening.  
     
     
         17 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 16  further including means for closing said trap door against said opening.  
     
     
         18 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 14  wherein said frame has an upper edge with a passage therefrom to said opening, whereby an auxiliary display may be made through said passage from said upper edge.  
     
     
         19 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 14  wherein said auxiliary display is made by a press fit into said opening of said frame.  
     
     
         20 . Apparatus as defined in  claim 14  wherein said frame covers only a portion of said front surface of said structure.
