Abstract

The decorative and protective display case, for a fragile or expensive good(s) for example, typically a bottled liquid such as wine or spirits that not only provides adequate protection, but also provides a way to showcase or display an item of value. The generally tubular display material is circular or polygonal and made from materials that can withstand high levels of shock. The ends are fitted with caps that serve not only for decorative purposes, but also contain a shock absorber system or material that further isolates the good from shock or impact that helps prevent and/or limits breakage of the good.

 a. a display material having a generally tubular shape with at least one thickness;   b. an end-cap assembly;   c. a means of preloading or shimming the good with the shock absorber component;   d. a sealing cap, capable of further isolating the good from shock;   e. a decorative end cap forming the outside of said end cap assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The protective case of  claim 1  wherein said first display material is fitted with said end-cap assembly. 
     
     
         3 . The protective case of  claim 1  wherein display material having a generally tubular shape is selected from group consisting of polygonal or circular.
