A modular merchandise display which allows for the integrated display of greeting cards and other social expression products. The system provides flexibility in the set up and modification of the retail display over time by offering product modules having a variety of holding mechanisms for retaining and displaying a wide range of products. Each product module operates independently from all others such that adding/removing/rearranging a product module does not affect or disrupt the other product modules on the display.

Disclosed herein is a hybrid skewer comprising an elongated rod that in turn comprises a handle portion and a skewer portion. The skewer portion and handle portion are separated by a circular shoulder element. The skewer portion comprises a plurality of raised longitudinal fins running the length of the skewer portion and the fins are of sufficient size to engage a food or non-food item and prevent the item from rotating about the axis of the skewer portion. The handle portion comprises a surface pattern, the surface pattern covering at least a portion of the circumference of the handle portion. The handle portion terminates in a tapered tip for facilitating the insertion of the handle portion into a support platform or base.

A mounting system for securely mounting a component, comprising: a mounting platform having a support surface with plurality of mounting holes extending therethrough; a mounting device for securing the component to the mounting platform, the mounting device comprising: a mounting plate with a planar surface facing in a first direction and a stud extending in a second direction away from the first direction, the stud being configured to be inserted through the mounting holes; an adhesive secured to the planar surface and having an engagement surface for adhering to a surface of the component; a fastening device for releasably engaging a portion of the stud inserted through one of the mounting holes to releasably secure the mounting device to the mounting plate.

An adjustable hanger device including a base plate mountable to a support surface, and an elongated slide bar attached to the base plate and spaced apart therefrom. The hanger device includes a flexible strap, a first end of the strap is attached to an end of the slide bar, a length of the strap being disposed at a first angle relative to the length of the slide bar. An adjustable fastener is provided to adjustably secure the strap to the slide bar at a point between the first and second ends of the strap, the strap being twisted axially to form a spiral loop, the loop defining an opening disposed at a second angle relative to the length of the side bar; and wherein an implement can be supported via the hanger device by inserting the handle into the loop and allowing the implement to return to a vertical position.

A rack for receiving, storing and dispensing a coiled material, such as but not limited to garden hose, fire hose, gas hose (e.g., oxygen), a chemical hose (e.g. a solvent), electrical cord, cable, chain, or rope, comprising a back plate; a front plate having a back surface and a front surface; and one or more spacing members disposed between the back plate and the front plate such that the back surface of the front plate is faced towards the back plate, thereby creating a space between the front plate and the back plate for receiving the coiled material; wherein the front surface of the front plate is essentially planar and free of non-planar features, thereby providing a uniform flat surface configured for receiving indicia, such as but not limited to affinity indicia, instructions, warnings, specifications and content indications.

A vehicle support and display apparatus includes vertical support posts. Transverse frame members are releasably coupled to respective vertical support posts. Lengthwise frame members are releasably coupled to the vertical support posts. Vehicle support members support the weight of the vehicle and transfer the weight to the ground via the frame members and the vertical support posts.

System for distributing cabling. In an embodiment, a unit comprises two levels. Each level comprises openings, on two opposing surfaces, arranged in a row parallel to a first axis, with each opening opposite to one opening on the opposing surface. Each level comprises parallel main conduits between the surfaces. Each main conduit is angled relative to a second axis, intersecting the surfaces and orthogonal to the first axis, such that each main conduit connects an opening on one surface to an opening on the other surface that is offset by one opening from its opposing opening on the other surface. A divergent conduit connects openings on one of the two surfaces to an opening on a third surface, and an articulated conduit, angled relative to a third axis that is orthogonal to the first and second axes, connects an opening on one level to an opening on the other level.

An enclosure or display cabinet for displaying heated objects (such as a food display module or container) using heat-sensitive lighting is disclosed herein. The heat-sensitive lighting may be, for example, an LED lighting unit. LED lighting is inefficient and tends to degrade or fail when operating at higher temperatures. However, LED lighting may be preferred as it is typically more energy efficient than other lighting options (such as incandescent bulbs). The lighting unit includes a thermally insulated space, shelf, or gap for housing the lighting and a system for reducing heat generated by the display or the lighting unit.
