Rotatable modular memorabilia display system enabling a vertical or horizontal configuration

Abstract

A modular display system containing two attached modules for displaying some item in one module adjacent to an article of sports clothing such as a jersey in the other module. The jersey display module contains a square mounting platform on which an article of clothing is mounted. The secondary system module is meant to hold display items, including sports memorabilia, which may complement or give context to the article of sports clothing. The two modules are attached by only one set of attachment means located respectively on only one of each of the sides of the modules. The attachment means are designed for easily removing or attaching a secondary display module from or to the jersey display module. When the two modules are attached to each other forming the display system, the display system can then be rotated as a unit allowing the display system to be presented in a horizontal or vertical alignment where the secondary display module is aligned either to the left of, the right of, above or below the jersey display module. The square mounting platform is rotated on a horizontal axis correspondingly to the system alignment, after the system is mounted on vertical surface, and then re-deposited into the jersey display module so that the item being displayed remains right side up regardless of the system alignment.

1 . A square display module comprising:
 a removable square thin mounting board on which to display a flat item or items such as a sports jersey;   a removable cover which allows for depositing of said mounting board along either sets of its two parallel sides into parallel grooves located along opposite sides of said jersey display module;   on each of the sides of the back of said square display module are means for affixing said module to a wall or vertical surface so that the square display module can be affixed using any one of its four sides; and   the outer surface of said removable cover has attachment means to which the second four-sided display module can be attached using corresponding attachment means located on one of the sides of said secondary display modules.   
     
     
         2 . The corresponding attachment means of  claim 1  allow for easy addition and removal of said secondary module to said square display module, and the ability to exchange one secondary module for another comprising the same corresponding attachment means as the square display module. 
     
     
         3 . A locking system that prevents the secondary display module from being unattached from the square display module. Said locking system comprising a lock core affixed to one of said modules and a corresponding female portion of said locking system being affixed on the other module, and allowing for a male member extending from said lock core to be rotated or inserted into said female portion. 
     
     
         4 . Means for physically hiding said sets of corresponding attachment means when said modules are attached to one another including but not limited to a lip structure extending around the sides and front of one of the modules along on the side containing said attachment means, said lip structure being of sufficient height to block the view of said attachment means but still allow for use of said attachment means.
