Toy wheel display case

Abstract

A toy wheel display case is described. The display case includes a housing having side walls, a back wall, and a detachably attachable front wall. At least one of the walls is formed of a clear material, thereby allowing a user to see through the wall and into an interior of the display case. A protrusion is centrally positioned on the back wall and extends into the housing. The protrusion is configured to allow for placement of a toy wheel, whereby a user may position the toy wheel onto the protrusion and encase the toy wheel within the housing. When placed upon the protrusion, the entire weight of the toy wheel is supported by the protrusion with no point of the wheel's tire touching the housing.

1 . A toy wheel display case, comprising: 
 a housing having side walls, a back wall, and a detachably attachable front wall, and wherein at least one of the walls is formed of a clear material, thereby allowing a user to see through the wall;    a protrusion centrally formed on the back wall and extending into the housing, the protrusion being configured to allow for placement of a toy wheel, whereby a user may position the toy wheel onto the protrusion and encase the toy wheel within the housing by attaching the detachably attachable front wall.    
   
   
       2 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein all of the walls of the housing are formed of a clear material, thereby allowing a user to place a toy wheel within the housing and view the toy wheel from multiple angles.  
   
   
       3 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the side wall comprises six side walls, thereby forming a hexagonal-shaped housing with the back wall and front wall being hexagonal-shaped.  
   
   
       4 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising an attachment apparatus formed on at least one of the side walls, the attachment apparatus being formed to be attached with a corresponding attachment apparatus on a second toy wheel display case, thereby allowing a user to attach two toy wheel display cases together.  
   
   
       5 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the side wall has a height and wherein the attachment apparatus includes two elongated ridges that span the height of the side wall, each of the elongated ridges including elongated grooves.  
   
   
       6 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 5 , further comprising an attachment apparatus attached with each of the six side walls, and wherein each attachment apparatus includes two elongated ridges, with the elongated ridges being spaced from each other in one of two positions, a first position and a second position, the attachment apparatus being formed on each of the six side walls such that the elongated ridges alternate between a first position to a second position on adjacent walls, thereby allowing a user to connect two toy wheel display cases by connecting an attachment apparatus in the first position with the attachment apparatus of a second toy wheel display case that are in the second position.  
   
   
       7 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein the detachably attachable front wall includes a raised circular portion, thereby allowing for placement of wheels of various widths.  
   
   
       8 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 7 , further comprising a toy wheel for placement within the display case, the toy wheel having a centrally positioned hub, with the hub being formed to be attached with the protrusion.  
   
   
       9 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the wheel and housing are formed such that when the wheel is attached with the housing, the wheel is entirely supported by the protrusion with no point of the wheel's tire touching any point of the side walls.  
   
   
       10 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the side wall comprises six side walls, thereby forming a hexagonal-shaped housing with the back wall and front wall being hexagonal-shaped.  
   
   
       11 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising an attachment apparatus formed on at least one of the side walls, the attachment apparatus being formed to be attached with a corresponding attachment apparatus on a second toy wheel display case, thereby allowing a user to attach two toy wheel display cases together.  
   
   
       12 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the side wall has a height and wherein the attachment apparatus includes two elongated ridges that span the height of the side wall, each of the elongated ridges including elongated grooves.  
   
   
       13 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 12 , further comprising an attachment apparatus attached with each of the side walls, and wherein each attachment apparatus includes two elongated ridges, with the elongated ridges being spaced from each other in one of two positions, a first position and a second position, the attachment apparatus being formed on each of the side walls such that the elongated ridges alternate between a first position to a second position on adjacent walls, thereby allowing a user to connect two toy wheel display cases by connecting an attachment apparatus in the first position with the attachment apparatus of a second toy wheel display case that are in the second position.  
   
   
       14 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the detachably attachable front wall includes a raised circular portion, thereby allowing for placement of wheels of various widths.  
   
   
       15 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a toy wheel for placement within the display case, the toy wheel having a centrally positioned hub, with the hub being formed to be attached with the protrusion.  
   
   
       16 . A toy wheel display case as set forth in  claim 16 , wherein the wheel and housing are formed such that when the wheel is attached with the housing, the wheel is entirely supported by the protrusion with no point of the wheel's tire touching any point of the side walls.
