Image storage and display assembly

Abstract

An image storage and display assembly having an image storage sub-assembly, an image board, an image display sub-assembly and a wall attachment sub-assembly. The image storage sub-assembly is configured for storing images that can be sequentially displayed on the image board, so that the images remain quickly accessible while being protectively stored.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image storage and display assembly comprising:
 an image storage sub-assembly having a front panel and a back panel spaced apart from the front panel, the front panel and the back panel joined together through spacing panels, to, together define a cavity for the storage of at least one image;   an image board having a front and back surface; and   an image display sub-assembly comprising a rest bar coupled to the front panel of the image storage sub-assembly and a mating image anchor bar coupled to the back surface of the image board, whereupon engagement of the rest bar and the anchor bar releasably couples the image board to the image storage sub-assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 1  further comprising an image locking sub-assembly structurally configured to lock the rest bar to the image anchor bar in operable engagement. 
     
     
         3 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 2  wherein the image locking sub-assembly further comprises:
 a locking bar coupled to the back surface of the image board; 
 a locking block positioned adjacent the back surface of the image board, and positioned between the locking bar and the image anchor bar, the locking block having an opening extending partially thereinto, substantially parallel to the back surface of the image board; and 
 a locking screw threadedly engaged with the locking block and extending into the opening of the locking block, whereupon rotation of the locking screw in a first direction advances the locking block toward the image anchor bar, and wherein rotation of the locking screw in a second direction retracts the locking block away from the image anchor bar. 
 
     
     
         4 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 3  further comprising a wall attachment sub-assembly structurally configured to secure the image storage and display assembly to an outside wall. 
     
     
         5 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 4  wherein the wall attachment sub-assembly further comprises an anchor bar coupled to the rear panel of the image storage sub-assembly and a rest bar coupled to an outside wall. 
     
     
         6 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 5  wherein the anchor bar comprises a downwardly directed L-shaped bracket, and the rest bar comprises an upwardly directed L-shaped bracket. 
     
     
         7 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 1  wherein the rest bar of the image display sub-assembly comprises a downwardly directed L-shaped bracket and the image anchor bar comprises an upwardly directed L-shaped bracket. 
     
     
         8 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the spacing panels are movable so as to provide ingress into the cavity. 
     
     
         9 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 8  wherein at least one of the spacing panels is hingedly coupled to one of the front and rear panel, so as to provide ingress into the cavity. 
     
     
         10 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 1  wherein the cavity has a width defined by the distance between the front panel and the rear panel that is between one and four inches. 
     
     
         11 . The image storage and display assembly of  claim 1  further comprising an image mounted to the image board.
