Abstract

Apparatus for the display and protection of awards. In a first embodiment the apparatus includes a piece of luggage having a wall containing a slit through which an award may be passed. A transparent sheet is secured to the outer surface of the wall around the slit so as to form a pocket between the wall and the sheet. A hinged cover is secured to the inside of the wall to control passage of objects through the slit. A latch is provided to seal the cover closed. In a second embodiment a substantially two-dimensional support member having a slit is provided. A transparent sheet covers one side of the support member to form a pocket therebetween. Double-sided tape covers the side of the support member opposite the sheet so that after the award is inserted in the pocket the support member is secured to the outside of a piece of luggage.
