A flexible dock connector for connection between two floating dock structures. In example forms, the flexible dock connector includes a first eye bolt, a second eye bolt, a dampening material and a pair of plates. The first and second eye bolts include an eye portion and a bolt portion extending from the eye portion. The eye portions of the first and second eye bolts are coupled together, and the dampening material substantially covers the eye portions of the first and second eye bolts. The pair of plates each include a central opening for receiving the bolt portions of the first and second eye bolts, respectively, and wherein the dampening material is generally sandwiched between the pair of plates.

Cantilevered retention systems for architectural systems are provided herein. As one example, a cantilevered retention system may include a support structure, a cantilever structure comprising a threaded channel and an L-shaped hook structure, and one or more retention sources configured to bias the cantilever structure to a first position, the cantilever structure being moveable between the first position and a second position via a fastener that traverses the support structure and at least partially traverses the cantilever structure and the one or more retention sources.

A magnetic securing system with first and second backers, each with a magnet embedded therein. The first backer is constructed and arranged to be placed on one side of an article, and the second backer is constructed and arranged to be placed on another side of the article such that the two magnets attract, to hold the backers in place on the article. There is a first structure that is coupled to or can be coupled to the first backer. The first structure is constructed and arranged to be used to support another object, such that the system is able to allow objects to be removably coupled to the article

An over-the-door hanging apparatus which includes a mirror apparatus having a rear surface, at least one mounting element located on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus, and at least one over-the-door hanger. The over-the-door hanger may include an elongate member, a bracket for engaging a top edge of a door, a first hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a first aperture formed through the elongate member, and a second hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a second aperture formed through the elongate member. The mirror apparatus may be slidably mounted to the at least one over-the-door hanger through slidable mating between the at least one mounting element on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus and one of the first and second hooks of the at least one over-the-door hanger.

An improved wall-hanging storage system without some of the disadvantages of the prior art is disclosed. Advances in materials science, chemistry, and engineering allow for the utilization of less-expensive, but strong molded pieces that are weight bearing. These new materials allow for new shapes and systems.

A hanger (100) for a hanging item (1400) is provided. The hanger can define an aperture (102). The aperture can include a split rotated concave cardioid upper contour (104). The split rotated concave cardioid upper contour can include a first portion (105) and a second portion (106). The first portion and the second portion can be separated by an inverted convex cardioid (109). The inverted convex cardioid can be suspended into the aperture by two concave sidewalls (112,113). The aperture can include an intersecting concave lower contour (114) comprising a cusp (117).
