Abstract
A storage apparatus for use on a wall and with jewelry is disclosed. The apparatus includes a receiver and a cover. The receiver is adapted to receive said jewelry and is mounted to said wall in use such that said receiver presents jewelry received thereby away from said wall. The cover has a presentation face and is mounted to said receiver for sliding movement in use between a storage position whereat the receiver is disposed behind the presentation face and an extended position beside the receiver to permit access to jewelry received by said receiver. The presentation face can be a mirror; or a picture-receiving face, in which case, the apparatus also functions as a picture frame; or a transparent panel, in which case the apparatus also functions as a presentation fixture.
Description
STORAGEAPPARATUS
The present invention relates to devices used for storage, and more particularly, to devices used for storing jewelry.
There are many different types of jewelry storage devices that are readily available on the market. Such storage devices range from ordinary jewelry boxes designed to be placed in drawers and the like to rather elaborate arrangements which tend to be substantially more expensive.
It is also known in the prior art to provide lockable devices which prevent theft.
These devices are often hidden in drawers, beneath a bed, or other similar locations, so that a potential thief will be unable to locate same. However, usually a burglar will ransack a residence until the jewelry is found. Thus, it is often futile to use such devices unless a very secure type of apparatus such as a wall safe is utilized.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel device for storing jewelry.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a frame member, a mirror mounted in said frame member, and a jewelry storage device mounted to said frame rearwardly of said mirror. The jewelry storage device is mounted to a wall in use. The mirror is movable from a position whereat the jewelry storage device is rearwardly disposed therefrom to a position beside the jewelry storage device where the user can select the jewelry and try on the jewelry with the mirror being proximate thereto. In this aspect, the frame about the mirror and the mirror itself may be of any conventional style and will normally be chosen for the aesthetics thereof. It suffices to say that there are many mirrors and frames known in the art and any suitable combination may be utilized in the practice of the present invention.
According to another aspect, a storage apparatus forms part of the invention.
The storage apparatus is for use on a wall and with jewelry, and comprises a receiver and a cover. The receiver is adapted to receive said jewelry and is mounted to said wall in use such that said receiver presents jewelry received thereby away from said wall. The cover has a presentation face and is mounted to said receiver for sliding movement in use between a storage position whereat the receiver is disposed behind the presentation face and an extended position beside the receiver to permit access to jewelry received by said receiver.
According to another aspect, the presentation face may be transparent, such that, in use, with the cover in the storage position, jewelry received by said receiver can be viewed through the presentation face.
According to another aspect, the cover may be a picture frame, with the presentation face being a picture-receiving face.
According to another aspect, the cover may be a mirror, with the presentation face being a mirrored surface.
According to another aspect, the receiver may be further adapted to receive docu ments.

According to another aspect, the receiver may be further adapted to receive docu ments.
Having thus generally described the present invention, reference will be made to the accompany drawings in which Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a device for storing jewelry and optionally storing documents according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention, with a cover shown in an extended position.
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, with the cover shown in a storage position.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, of a second preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2, of a third preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the structure of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings in greater detail, and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated in Figure 1 a storage device generally designated by reference numeral 10.
Device 10 includes a first portion comprising a frame or cover 19 having a top frame member 12, a bottom frame member 14, and a pair of side frame members 16,18. Mounted interiorly of frame members 12,14,16,18 is a mirror or presentation face generally designated by reference numeral 20.
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, with the cover shown in a storage position.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, of a second preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2, of a third preferred embodiment of the invention.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the structure of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings in greater detail, and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated in Figure 1 a storage device generally designated by reference numeral 10.
Device 10 includes a first portion comprising a frame or cover 19 having a top frame member 12, a bottom frame member 14, and a pair of side frame members 16,18. Mounted interiorly of frame members 12,14,16,18 is a mirror or presentation face generally designated by reference numeral 20.
As may be seen on the right hand side of Figure 1, there is provided a sub frame assembly 21 or receiver. Sub frame assembly 21 is slidably mounted with respect to the cover 19 and to this end, a first ball bearing drawer slide 24 is located at the bottom and a second ball bearing drawer slide 26 is located at the top.
Mounted interiorly of the receiver 21 is a central portion 28 which preferably is of a soft material, such as cork covered with velvet, and is designed to receive jewelry as shown in Figure 1. Hooks 30 are mounted on the central portion 28 to receive jewelry. A pocket 32 is also formed on the central portion 28, to receive documents such as passports. Thumb tacks or the like can also be used to secure jewelry or documents.
In use, normally the cover 19 is in a storage position, overlying the receiver 21, as indicated in Figure 2, with the receiver 21 mounted to a wall by screws or the like.
When the user wishes to access jewelry, the cover 21 is slid out to the position shown in Figure 1, and the user can then try on various pieces of jewelry while looking in mirror 20.
Figure 3 shows a second preferred embodiment of the invention. In this case, mirror 20 is replaced by picture 34, such that the storage device also functions as a picture frame.
Figure 4 shows a third preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this case, mirror 20 is replaced by transparent panel 36, such that the storage device serves as a presentation fixture, for use in retail environments or the like.
It will be understood that the above description is for purposes of illustration only and that changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
