A device for holding an advertising sign, said device including one or more of the following: a first supporting means; and a second supporting means, the second supporting means extending diagonally from the operatively upper end of the first supporting means to a ground level, in use, wherein an operatively upper end of the first supporting means and an operatively upper end of the second supporting means define an opening, said opening operable to receive an advertising sign therein.

Stabilizer for a piece of furniture, such as a dresser or television, includes an elongate preferably rigid portion having opposed ends, two plates each having an inner major surface and an outer planar surface on a side opposite the inner major surface, a respective hinge that pivotally connects each end of the elongate portion to the inner major surface of a respective plate, and attachment structure arranged at least partly on the outer planar surface of each plate for attaching the plate to the piece of furniture or to a vertical support surface behind the piece of furniture. When the stabilizer is attached to the piece of furniture at a location above the location at which the stabilizer is attached to the vertical support surface and the stabilizer is in a vertical orientation, the stabilizer provides resistance to tipping of the piece of furniture away from the vertical support surface.

There are provided systems and methods for a physical stand for multiple device orientations and peripheral card reader. A device stand may include a dock that allows for placement and securing of a computing device within the device case, such as through a locking or connecting mechanism. The device dock further includes a peripheral component, such as a physical card reader, that allows for reading and entry of card data into the computing device for use with an electronic transaction processing application on the computing device. This allows the computing device to process transactions electronic with an online service provider. Further, the device stand includes a hinge or joint that allows for rotating and inverting of the computing device over a curved extension from a base of the device stand, which allows the computing device to be viewed in multiple directions and orientations.

Disclosed is a display apparatus including a display including a stand mounting part, a stand to which the stand mounting part is coupleable to mount the display on the stand, and a protection member comprising a portion that includes a support protection member and is detachably coupleable along an edge of the display so that, when the portion is coupled along the edge of the display, the support protection member covers a lower end portion of the display, and a mounting part protection member that is detachably coupleable along the edge of the display so that, when the mounting part protection member is coupled along the edge of the display, the mounting part protection member covers a portion of the display along which the stand is mountable, wherein the mounting part protection member is separately detachable from along the edge of the display while the portion that includes the support protection member remains coupled along the edge of the display with the support protection member covering the lower end portion of the display, to thereby uncover the portion of the display along which the stand is mountable.

In some examples, a release mechanism can include an extensible mechanism having a first distal end with a handle, a second distal end with an opening, and a slot. The release mechanism can include a hinge mechanism including a first face including a first tab that defines a first annulus and a second tab defines a second annulus, a second face including a third tab that defines a retention mechanism that is to be positioned in the slot, and a third face located opposite of the first face. The release mechanism can include an ejection mechanism including a first arm having a first projection to extend into the first annulus, a second arm having a second projection to extend into the second annulus, and a third arm to extend through the opening.

The present invention discloses a display stand has a mounting seat connected on a support structure, internally provided with an accommodating cavity and having a slot communicated with the accommodating cavity at the top in an open way, a supporting arm having an insertion end capable of being inserted into the accommodating cavity of the mounting seat from the slot of the mounting seat, and a locking mechanism disposed on the mounting seat or supporting arm, for locking or unlocking the insertion end of the supporting arm in the accommodating cavity. When the insertion end of the supporting arm is locked, the supporting arm is limited within the accommodating cavity of the mounting seat, and when the insertion end of the supporting arm is unlocked, the insertion end of the supporting arm may be taken out from the slot of the mounting seat.

A hinge includes a bearing plate, a linkage mechanism, a shell element, and an elastic element. The linkage mechanism is linked to the bearing plate. The shell element is disposed on the support, is connected to the linkage mechanism and includes a receiving space. The elastic element is disposed in the receiving space and abuts against between the linkage mechanism and the shell element to provide an elastic force. When an external force is applied, the display device and the bearing plate rotate relative to the support between a first position and a second position. The bearing plate is linked to the linkage mechanism to compress or loosen the elastic element, and then the elastic force is changed. When the external force is removed, the display device and the bearing plate can be stopped at once at any position between the first position and the second position.
