This invention relates to a bracket including a barrel with a screw-threaded recess, a disk-shaped cap and a fastener that is receivable in the recess. The fastener is configured to attached the cap to the barrel in a spaced apart arrangement, when the fastener is received in the recess. The barrel comprises a body of polymeric material, a metal bush embedded in the body and defining the screw threaded recess, and a metal sleeve that extends partially around the periphery of the body.

In the case of a structural glass element with a plastic-coated glass panel and at least one assembly element attached hereon, the glass panel is coated in particular with a silicone-based elastomer across its entire surface, and the coating at the same time creates an adhesive joint with one section of the assembly element supported on the glass panel.

A wall mounting system is provided. The wall mounting system includes a plurality of mount brackets. A pair of hooks extend along the length of the mount brackets and are substantially parallel to one another. Each the pair of hooks includes a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. The horizontal portion includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end extends from the front surface and includes a notch formed on an upper surface. The vertical portion extends from the distal end of the horizontal portion. The hooks of a mounting bracket interlock with the hooks of another mounting bracket.

Chromatic components are presented which alleviate the usage in various applications in that this chromatic component is, according to a first aspect of the present application, made-up of a mirroring surface and a diffusing layer in front of the mirroring surface, which preferentially scatters short-wavelength components of impinging light with respect to long-wavelength components of the impinging light, and in that according to another aspect, the chromatic component is made up of a stratified-glass panel which comprises two less sheets sandwiching an adhesive transparent polymeric film wherein the adhesive transparent polymeric film forms a diffusing layer which preferentially scatters short-wavelength components of fight passing the stratified-glass panel with respect to long-wavelength components of this light with respect to long-wavelength components of the same.

A system and method of creating a decorative panel enables the creation of a decorative panel through a unique arrangement of illuminating blocks. The blocks are arranged to form a decorative panel. The blocks have an internal channel that contains light emitting diodes and a central conductive member. The diodes can be adjusted and removed to achieve a desired pattern or message without removing any of the blocks. The diodes and central conductive member are easily accessible from one side of the blocks by sliding them in and out for interchanging diodes or maintenance of the wires. The decorative effect on the panel may be constantly regenerated by interchanging diodes from within individual blocks, without having to move the block. This is possible because the diodes are disposed internally in the blocks. Thus, the illuminating effect from within each block is manipulated to create a desired decorative effect.

A wall panel system. In an embodiment, the wall panel system includes a plurality of wall panels magnetically and removably mounted to magnetically attractive mounting brackets affixed to a wall. In an embodiment, the mounting brackets are steel strips mounted at selected heights above the bottom of the wall. The wall panels may include various design components, including wood, wood veneer, textiles, metal, dry erase board, chalkboards, tempered glass, artistic paintings and designs, as well as functional components such as lighting panels or bookcases. A plurality of permanent magnets is affixed to a backing plate, preferably in a recessed configuration with respect to a reverse surface of the backing plate. The magnets releasably secure the wall panels to the mounting strips. Wall panels may be provided in various shapes and sizes, such as squares or rectangles of selected dimensions.
