System and method for exhibiting diverse products with a label rail system

Abstract

Systems and methods for securely framing an enclosure with an easily formed and integrated inert material, thereby providing a non-reactive environment for securing one or more objects.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for providing a label rail system for supporting an object to be securely displayed, comprising:
 extruding a first aluminum component to form a label rail body, wherein the label rail body is configured to support a deck, which in turn supports an object to be displayed;   extruding a second aluminum component to form a rail back support, wherein the rail back support is configured to securely slide into and engage the label rail body;   extruding a third aluminum component to form a rim modifier, wherein the rim modifier is configured to be secured to the label rail body and is further configured to securely accept a vitrine for displaying the object; and   assembling at least the label rail body, the rim modifier, and the vitrine to provide a secure and environmentally stable enclosure for displaying the object,   wherein the label rail body, the rail back support, and the rim modifier consist solely of aluminum.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the assembled enclosure is self-supporting; and
 wherein the assembled enclosure is configured to be affixed to a base in a horizontal position and also configured to be affixed to another base at any angle from the horizontal position.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the assembled components of the enclosure comprise multiple pieces of the label rail body, the rim modifier, and the vitrine, wherein the multiple pieces of the label rail body are attached with braces. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising assembling the label rail body, the rail back support, the rim modifier, and the vitrine to provide a secure and environmentally stable enclosure for displaying the object. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the assembled label rail body, the rim modifier, the deck, and the vitrine are secured to a base cabinet, wherein the base cabinet includes an enclosure housing support equipment for the display of the object. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the vitrine is configured to completely enclose the object being displayed. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the rim modifier is cut to size with the aid of a rim modifier jig. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the material of the label rail body, the rail back support, and the rim modifier is comprised of an inert material other than aluminum. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the assembled enclosure is fastened to a base, forming an enclosure above and below the deck; and
 wherein the below deck enclosure houses mechanical and electrical components related to the object being displayed in the above deck enclosure.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the rail back support component can be utilized to connect two or more label rail bodies together without fasteners. 
     
     
         11 . A label rail system for providing a secure enclosure for displaying an object, comprising:
 a housing structure containing mechanical components and electrical components, the housing structure configured to be secured to a foundation and comprising a base for a display enclosure;   an exhibit enclosure secured to the housing structure, comprising:   a label rail system integrated with the exhibit enclosure, the label rail system comprising:   at least two or more label rail bodies constructed solely of an inert material; and   a rim modifier secured to each of the two or more label rail bodies, the rim modifier constructed solely of an inert material;   a deck secured to the label rail system and forming an enclosure above the deck and framed by the label rail system, the deck supporting an object being exhibited within the secure enclosure; and   a vitrine secured to the rim modifier, the vitrine forming a secured enclosure exhibiting an object within the vitrine.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the exhibit enclosure is self-supporting; and
 wherein the exhibit enclosure is configured to be affixed to the foundation in a horizontal position and also configured to be affixed to another base at any angle from the horizontal position.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the components of the exhibit enclosure comprise multiple pieces of the label rail body, the rim modifier, and the vitrine, wherein the multiple pieces of the label rail body are attached with braces. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the components of the exhibit enclosure are assembled together to provide a secure and environmentally stable enclosure for displaying the object. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the assembled components of the exhibit enclosure are secured to a base cabinet, wherein the base cabinet includes an enclosure housing support equipment for the display of the object. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the vitrine is configured to completely enclose the object being displayed. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the rim modifier is cut to size with the aid of a rim modifier jig. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the material of the label rail body, the rail back support, and the rim modifier is comprised of aluminum. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the exhibit enclosure is fastened to a base, forming an enclosure above and below the deck; and
 wherein the below deck enclosure houses mechanical and electrical components related to the object being displayed in the above deck enclosure.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the rail back support component can be utilized to connect two or more label rail bodies together without fasteners.
