- Why this patent rocks: This patent appears to relate to Memory Box UK Limited’s Play & Display Flip Frame, used to display vinyl albums. According to Memory Box UK Limited, the apparatus allows users to change the display within seconds without needing to remove the frame from the wall. It is said that one only needs to press the catch at the top of the frame, and it will hinge open. For a detailed overview of how the apparatus works, see here.
