Abstract

A magnetic display device is adapted for magnetically attaching on a metal surface having a magnetic attraction ability, which includes a back panel having a magnetic rear surface for magnetically attaching on the metal surface, a front panel foldably extended from the back panel edge to edge wherein a receiving cavity is provided between the front panel and the back panel, and a magnetic locker comprising a front flap integrally and outwardly extended from one edge of the front panel wherein the front flap has a magnetic member provided on a rear surface thereof for magnetically attaching the front flap on the metal surface, so as to enclose the receiving cavity by the front panel. Therefore, a desired object such as an address fold is capable of receiving in the receiving cavity such that a user is able to find the desired object at hand.

Claims

1. A magnetic display device for magnetically attaching on a metal surface having a magnetic attraction ability, which comprises:

a back panel having a magnetic rear surface for magnetically attaching on said metal surface;

a front panel foldably extended from said back panel in an edge to edge manner, wherein a receiving cavity is provided between said front panel and said back panel; and

a magnetic locker comprising a front flap integrally and outwardly extended from one edge of said front panel and a magnetic member provided on a rear surface of said front flap for magnetically folding said front panel with respect to said back panel, so as to enclose said receiving cavity between said front panel and said back panel.

2. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 1, wherein said magnetic member of said magnetic locker is adapted for magnetically attaching on said metal surface when said front plane is folded up with respect to said back panel.

3. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 2, further comprising an address fold fitted received in said receiving cavity wherein said address fold has a plurality of address sections overlappedly folded together and a holding means for holding one end section of said address fold in said receiving cavity in such a manner that rest of said address sections of said address fold having a dropping down ability are adapted for unfoldably extending out of said receiving cavity.

4. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 3, wherein a top address section of said address fold is adhered to a rear surface of said front panel by means of glue and a second top address section of said address fold is said back panel in such a manner that rest of said address sections of said address fold folded in a Z-shaped manner are received between said top address section and said second top address section of said address fold and are adapted for freely dropping out of said receiving cavity while said front panel is flipped over.

5. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 3, wherein said magnetic locker further comprises a reinforcing pad mounted between said front flap and said magnetic member, wherein said reinforcing pad has a predetermined thickness which is at least the same as a depth of said receiving cavity such that said magnetic member is adapted for fittedly attaching on said metal surface.

6. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 4, wherein said magnetic locker further comprises a reinforcing pad mounted between said front flap and said magnetic member, wherein said reinforcing pad has a predetermined thickness which is at least the same as a depth of said receiving cavity such that said magnetic member is adapted for fittedly attaching on said metal surface.

7. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 2, wherein said front panel comprises a transparent front pocket for receiving an ornamental object therein in such a manner that said ornamental object is capable of being seen from outside.

8. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 3, wherein said front panel comprises a transparent front pocket for receiving an ornamental object therein in such a manner that said ornamental object is capable of being seen from outside.

9. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 7, wherein said holding means comprises a holding pocket formed on a front surface of said back panel for detachably inserting a top address section of said address fold into said holding pocket in such a manner that rest of said address sections of said address fold folded in a Z-shaped manner are adapted for unfoldably extending out of said receiving cavity.

10. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 8, wherein said holding means comprises a holding pocket formed on a front surface of said back panel for detachably inserting a top address section of said address fold into said holding pocket in such a manner that rest of said address sections of said address fold folded in a Z-shaped manner are adapted for unfoldably extending out of said receiving cavity.

11. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 10, wherein said magnetic locker further comprises a reinforcing pad mounted between said front flap and said magnetic member, wherein said reinforcing pad has a predetermined thickness which is at least the same as a depth of said receiving cavity such that said magnetic member is adapted for fittedly attaching on said metal surface.

12. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 10, wherein said back panel further comprises a magnetized piece having a flexibility properties firmly attached on said entire rear surface of said back panel to form said magnetic rear surface of said back panel for magnetically attaching on said metal surface.

13. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 10, wherein said back panel further comprises four pieces of magnet embedded into four corners of said rear surface of said back panel to form said magnetic rear surface of said back panel for magnetically attaching on said metal surface.

14. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 2, further comprising a holding means for holding an ornamental object in said receiving cavity wherein said holding means comprises three edge latches each having a L-shaped cross section frontwardly extended from three edges of said back panel respectively such that said three edge latches are encircling said receiving cavity for holding said ornamental object therein, wherein said three edge latches having predetermined height define a depth of said receiving cavity for selectively holding a size of said ornamental object in position.

15. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 14, wherein said magnetic locker further comprises a reinforcing pad mounted between said front flap and said magnetic member, wherein said reinforcing pad has a predetermined thickness which is at least the same as a depth of said receiving cavity such that said magnetic member is adapted for fittedly attaching on said metal surface.

16. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 15, wherein said back panel further comprises a magnetized piece having a flexibility properties firmly attached on said entire rear surface of said back panel to form said magnetic rear surface of said back panel for magnetically attaching on said metal surface.

17. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 16, wherein said back panel further comprises four pieces of magnet embedded into four corners of said rear surface of said back panel to form said magnetic rear surface of said back panel for magnetically attaching on said metal surface.

18. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 1, wherein said magnetic locker further comprises a back flap integrally extended from an edge said back panel and a back magnetic member provided on a front surface of said back flap in such a manner that said magnetic member is arranged to magnetically attract said back magnetic member so as to enclose said receiving cavity between said front panel and said back panel.

19. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 18, further comprising a transparent holding pocket formed on a front surface of said back panel wherein a magnetic piece is fittedly received in said holding pocket so as to provide a rear magnetic surface of said back panel.

20. A magnetic display device, as recited in claim 19, further comprising an address fold having a plurality of address sections fitted received in said receiving cavity wherein a top address section of address fold is detachably inserted into said holding pocket in such a manner that rest of said address sections of said address fold folded in a Z-shaped manner are adapted for unfoldably extending out of said receiving cavity.
