Systems, devices, and methods for enclosing, transporting, and/or storing art pieces
First Claim
1. An enclosure device for one or more of storage and transport of an art piece having a medium applied surface and an opposing back surface, the enclosure device comprising:
- a flat base having a first length edge, a second length edge, a first width edge, and a second width edge;
a first side panel substantially perpendicularly disposed relative to the flat base and sharing the first length edge, the first side panel having a third length edge opposing the first length edge;
a second side panel substantially perpendicularly disposed relative to the flat base and sharing the second length edge, the second side panel having a fourth length edge opposing the second length edge;
a first sloped panel disposed at an angle relative to the flat base and sharing the third length edge, the first sloped panel being disposed at a first obtuse angle relative to the first side panel;
a second sloped panel disposed at an angle relative to the flat base and sharing the fourth length edge, the second sloped panel being disposed at a second obtuse angle relative to the second side panel;
an art piece receiving space substantially disposed between the first side panel, the second side panel, and the flat base, the art piece receiving space configured to retain the art piece, the flat base configured to contact the back surface;
a canopy space substantially disposed between the first sloped panel and the second sloped panel, the canopy space configured to be disposed above the medium applied surface;
a first opening partially bordered by the first width edge and a second opposing opening partially bordered by the second width edge; and
a first barrier operatively hinged to the first width edge, the first barrier being movable between an open position and a closed position to correspondingly open and close the first opening,wherein the first opening is a pentagon-shaped opening and the first barrier is a pentagon-shaped barrier.

Abstract
Enclosure devices for storage and transport of art pieces are shown and described. The enclosure devices include a flat base, first and second side panels substantially perpendicularly disposed relative to the flat base, first and second sloped panels disposed at an angle relative to the flat base and the first and second side panels, an art piece receiving space disposed between the first side panel, the second side panel, and the flat base, and a canopy space substantially disposed between the first sloped panel and the second sloped panel. The art piece receiving space is configured to retain the art piece as the flat base contacts a back surface of the art piece. The canopy space is configured to be disposed above a medium applied surface of the art piece.
