ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a transparent cube, and in particular, relates to a cuboid module which can be functioned as frame for picture and photographs, or used as decorative item, paper-press, coin container, pencil holder, or box for stationery.
b) Description of the Prior Art
It is very common that picture frame mounted with pictures is placed at a significant location to provide appreciation of the picture, or is used as a decoration. However, a common picture frame can only display one photograph or picture and it also occupies a larger space. Besides, when the picture frame is to be placed in vertical, the back of the frame has to be mounted with a support to stabilize the picture frame. Thus, the picture frame does not provide a good stability and it can be easily toppled and the glass panel may be broken. Thus it is an aim of the inventor to overcome the drawback of the conventional picture frame.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the present invention is to provide a transparent cube having picture displaying function, comprising a transparent body including two (a top and a bottom) rectangular blocks, and four transparent boards being fixed onto the surrounding of the transparent body, wherein at the contact face of the rectangular blocks and the transparent boards, a plurality of small holes are provided for the mounting of small magnets, and when the rectangular blocks contact with each other, or the rectangular blocks are in contact with the transparent boards, a transparent cube is formed by means of the attraction force of the magnets. Pictures can be inserted in between the contact face of the rectangular blocks, and in between the contact face of the rectangular block with the transparent board. As the cube is transparent, the pictures thus mounted can be clearly seen.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a transparent cube having picture displaying function, wherein the contact faces between the rectangular blocks, and that between the rectangular block with the transparent board are rigidly combined, and therefore they will not drop from the cube.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a transparent cube having picture displaying function, wherein the cube is made from transparent acrylic materials to allow the pictures to be seen.
The advantages of the preferred embodiment of the present invention as follows:
(a) A maximum of three pictures mounted onto the transparent cube can be seen at a time from different viewing angle.
(b) The cube is impressive and provides an aesthetic appearance as a decorative item.
(c) The cube is rigid and stable, it can be easily dismantled and installed. Thus, it can be easily used.
(d) The cube also functions as a paper press, stationery box or pencil holder.
(e) The cube can also be used to display coins.
(d) The cube can also be used as a coin container.
The various features of novelty which characterized the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
