Display device for displaying memorial presentation

Abstract

A display device for displaying a memorial presentation, such as, for example, at a memorial service, viewing, or gravesite, wherein the device includes one or more sleeves allowing for a multi-element presentation; provides a passive illumination feature to enhance safety, emphasis, and navigation; and includes one or more of a variety of attachment or other support mechanisms, including a hook, a magnet, hook-and-loop material, and one or more legs. A hinge mechanism connects the sleeves. Holes may be provided for receiving ribbon material. The legs may be provided with removable weighted feet for added stability.

Having thus described the preferred embodiment of the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent includes the following:  
     
         1 . A display device for displaying a presentation, the display device comprising: 
 one or more sleeves, with each sleeve being adapted to removably receive and maintain an element of the presentation;    one or more holes for receiving ribbon material; and    one or more support mechanisms adapted to support the one or more sleeves in a desired manner.    
     
     
         2 . The display device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein each sleeve includes a substantially transparent window of plastic material through which the element of the presentation can be viewed.  
     
     
         3 . The display device as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the plastic material inhibits transmission of ultraviolet radiation and thereby reduces fading of the element of the presentation.  
     
     
         4 . The display device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein each sleeve includes a plastic pocket and a surrounding frame, with the plastic pocket receiving the element of the presentation and providing a substantially transparent window for viewing the element.  
     
     
         5 . The display device as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the plastic material inhibits transmission of ultraviolet radiation and thereby reduces fading of the element of the presentation.  
     
     
         6 . The display device as set forth in  claim 1 , further including an illumination feature for providing illumination, wherein the illumination feature is passive in nature.  
     
     
         7 . The display device as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein the illumination feature includes a florescent material.  
     
     
         8 . The display device as set forth in  claim 1 , further including a hinge mechanism adapted to hingedly connect the one or more sleeves.  
     
     
         9 . The display device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the support mechanisms including a hook, a magnet and a one or more legs.  
     
     
         10 . The display device as set forth in  claim 9 , wherein one or more of the legs is provided with removable weighted feet.  
     
     
         11 . The display device as set forth in  claim 9 , the support mechanisms further including a hook-and-loop material.  
     
     
         12 . A display device for displaying a presentation, the display device comprising: 
 one or more sleeves, with each sleeve being adapted to removably receive and maintain an element of the presentation, and each sleeve including a substantially transparent window of plastic material through which the element of the presentation can be viewed;    a hinge mechanism adapted to hingedly connect the one or more sleeves;    an illumination feature for providing illumination, wherein the illumination feature is passive in nature and includes a florescent material; and    one or more support mechanisms, including a hook, a magnet and a one or more legs, adapted to support the one or more sleeves in a desired manner.    
     
     
         13 . The display device as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the plastic material of the sleeves inhibits transmission of ultraviolet radiation and thereby reduces fading of the element of the presentation.  
     
     
         14 . The display device as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein each sleeve includes a plastic pocket and a surrounding frame, with the plastic pocket receiving the element of the presentation and providing the substantially transparent window for viewing the element.  
     
     
         15 . The display device as set forth in  claim 12 , further including one or more holes for receiving ribbon material.  
     
     
         16 . The display device as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein one or more of the legs is provided with removable weighted feet.  
     
     
         17 . The display device as set forth in  claim 12 , the support mechanisms further including a hook-and-loop material.  
     
     
         18 . A display device for displaying a memorial presentation, the display device comprising: 
 one or more sleeves, with each sleeve being adapted to removably receive and maintain an element of the presentation, and each sleeve including a plastic pocket and a surrounding frame, with the plastic pocket receiving the element of the presentation and providing a substantially transparent window for viewing the element, and the transparent window being adapted to inhibit transmission of ultraviolet light and thereby reduce fading of the element.    a hinge mechanism adapted to hingedly connect the one or more sleeves;    an illumination feature for providing illumination, wherein the illumination feature is passive in nature and includes a florescent material;    one or more holes for receiving ribbon material; and    one or more support mechanisms, including a hook, a magnet and a one or more legs, adapted to support the one or more sleeves in a desired manner.    
     
     
         19 . The display device as set forth in  claim 18 , wherein one or more of the legs is provided with removable weighted feet.  
     
     
         20 . The display device as set forth in  claim 18 , the support mechanisms further including a hook-and-loop material.
