ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a display container, and more particularly to a display container for displaying a model vehicle or action figure, where the surface of the base of the display container is angularly disposed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Display containers are useful for displaying any number of items. Display containers help to protect valuable items by preventing dirt, dust, or other contaminants from contacting and building up on the item being displayed. Some display containers have a decorative design to aesthetically enhance the item being displayed.
Model vehicles, such as cars, trucks, tractors, locomotives, and the like, action figures, coins, and other items are often displayed in a display container having a base with a level display surface. This level display surface permits a viewer to see only the side view of the item facing the viewer. Visual enjoyment of the item is thus hindered unless the display case is picked up or the item is removed from the display container. Damage may result from the additional handling of the item, and is therefore undesirable to a collector.
It would be desirable to produce a display container wherein the visual enjoyment of the item being displayed would be enhanced, and a maximized perspective of the displayed item would be presented to the viewer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An improved display container, wherein the displayed item is enhanced and presented to the viewer in a maximized perspective, has surprisingly been discovered. The display container comprises a base having a planar supporting surface, said planar supporting surface being cant relative to horizontal along two orthogonal axes.
The inventive display container is particularly well-suited for displaying model vehicles, such as automobiles, trucks, tractors, locomotives, and the like, action figures, coins, and many other items (hereinafter collectively referred to as “models” ).
