FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to television templates. More specifically, television templates serve as physical representations of different sized actual televisions on the wall, or other places designed by the user, before the user purchases the actual television.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Television has been an important home electronic device since the twentieth century. Many people even have multiple televisions at home: one in the living room, one in the bedroom, or even one in the kid's bedroom. Many users turn on a television multiple times in a day, for news, weather, movie, entertainment, or simply to have some noise in the room. However, as technology improves, there are different types and sizes of televisions for the user to choose from, and issues arise when the user is trying to decide on what size of television the user should buy and where to place the television. For example, when a user wants to purchase a fifty-inch television but needs some references to decide the general height and location of the television in a room, the user may want to see a physical representation of the fifty-inch television on the wall before buying the television. In other words, it is beneficial for the user to have a physical reference of the television on the wall or other surfaces to get a better idea of the actual viewing the television before performing the purchase.
The present invention solves the above issues by providing a number of television sized sheets that can provide a physical representation of actual television sizes. By attaching the present invention to the wall or other surfaces designated by the user, the user can get a good glimpse of how a television can be arranged in the room. For example, by putting different sizes of templates on the wall, the user may have a better idea about how to arrange other pieces of furniture around the room or the size of the television appropriate for the room. Moreover, by having a physical representation as a reference, the user can consider how different television sizes can affect the arrangement of a room. For example, the user may also need to adjust the lighting or window curtains to fit the new television, or the user can move other pieces of furniture to different locations to create enough room for both the television and the viewers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a television template kit with different sized sheets for the user to simulate the actual television size before the user purchases the actual television. The user may purchase and use the template as a physical representation on the wall or other designated surfaces to get a better idea of which size of television to buy, and how to arrange the room accordingly. The present invention preferably provides a kit provided within a container. The present invention preferably provides six templates of different sizes representing different television sizes.

DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is a television template kit with different sized sheets. The different sized sheets are configured to provide a good estimate to the user regarding the size of a television relative to the dimensions and the layout of the room. The different sized sheets are generally square shaped and comes in various sizes to simulate different sizes of televisions. In order to accomplish the abovementioned task, the present invention comprises a plurality of television sized sheets 1 and at least one highly contrastable graphic 17 as shown in FIG. 1. Each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 represents various television sizes as the plurality of television sized sheets 1 each comprises a front surface 8, a rear surface 9, and a diagonal sizing indicator 10. The plurality of television sized sheets 1 is preferably made of paper to maintain a lower production cost; however, the plurality of television sized sheets 1 is not limited to paper can be made of any other types of material such as composite, plastic, fabric, and metal.
In reference to FIG. 1-2, the front surface 8 and the rear surface 9 are oppositely positioned of each other about each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 thus delineating a front view and a rear view for each television sized sheet. The rear surface 9 provides sufficient surface area to attach each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 to a wall or any other hanging surface that the actual television may be mounted through an attaching mechanism. More specifically, the attaching mechanism is configured to attach the each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 to the wall or any other hanging surface as the attaching mechanism can include, but is not limited to, tape, temporary glue, push pins, and hook-and-loop fasteners. The front surface 8 provides sufficient surface area to inscribe any dimensional specifications for informational purpose and to inscribe the highly contrastable graphic 17 that separates the parameters of the each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 form the wall or any other hanging surface. More specifically, the highly contrastable graphic 17 is perimetrically inscribe onto the front surface 8 of each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 so that each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 can be visually separated from the wall or any other hanging surface clearly indicating the parameters of the actual television. The highly contrastable graphic 17 is individually different within each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 to clearly differentiate each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 from each other. The diagonal sizing indicator 10 is inscribed onto the highly contrastable graphic 17 of each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1 so that the user can visually identify the correct size of the television.
In reference to FIG. 3-8, the present invention further comprises a height indicator 18 that visually illustrates a vertical dimension for each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1. More specifically, the height indicator 18 provides an additional dimensional reference for the user so that the user is able to optimize the vertical placement of the actual television with respect to the existing obstruction such as hanging light fixtures. Furthermore, the height indicator 18 also enables the user to design placement of the vertical accessories with respect to the actual television and the height of wall or any other hanging surface. For example, the height indicator 18 aids the user to determine the vertical placement of a floating self or the proper height of a television stand.
In reference to FIG. 3-8, the present invention further comprises a width indicator 19 that visually illustrates a horizontal dimension for each of the plurality of television sized sheets 1. More specifically, the width indicator 19 provides an additional dimensional reference for the user so that the user is able to optimize the horizontal placement of the actual television with respect to the existing obstruction such as doors and windows. Furthermore, the width indicator 19 also enables the user to design placement of the horizontal accessories with respect to the actual television and the width of wall or any other hanging surface. For example, the width indicator 19 aids the user to determine the symmetrical placement for a pair of front speakers with respect to the width of wall or any other hanging surface.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of television sized sheets 1 is six television sized sheets 1. However, the present invention is not limited to six television sized sheets 1 and can be any other number of television sized sheets 1 as it can be seen as an obvious difference.
