Provided is a hook which is capable of holding multiple objects or an object having a large size of width by efficiently using a space inside the hook, reliably preventing the hanged object from dropping, and allowing the hanged object to be taken out easily. A hook body has a latch that locks an arm biased toward an outside of the hook body by an arm biasing mechanism, and regulates a displacement of the arm, thereby closing an opening portion. While the latch is biased by a latch biasing mechanism so as to face the opening portion and be present at an arm regulating position for locking the arm, the latch is displaced from the arm regulating position against a biasing force of the latch biasing mechanism so as to unlock the arm.

A hardware assembly is provided with a rigid hardware component. A flexible substrate is mounted to the rigid hardware component. A reversible dry adhesive is spread across an application surface of the flexible substrate to mount the hardware assembly to a support surface. The flexible substrate permits compliance between the reversible dry adhesive and the rigid hardware component to minimize nonconformance of the reversible dry adhesive upon the support surface. A method of installing the hardware assembly provides a flexible substrate with a rigid hardware component upon one side of the flexible substrate, and a reversible dry adhesive upon another side of the flexible substrate. The rigid hardware component is pressed towards a support surface to engage the reversible dry adhesive with the support surface while deforming the flexible substrate to minimize nonconformance of the reversible dry adhesive and the support surface.

The present invention provides a support for mounting in or on an upright member, the support comprising a first region and a second region, the first and second regions being separated by a bend in the support, the second region having item attachment region. The present support may be used to support an item such as a shelf, or to hang an item therefrom. The support of the present invention is configured so as to be insertable into a channel in an upright member (such as a wall) or into a receiving means that is in turn fixed to or inserted into an upright member. Also provided is a support system comprising a support as described herein, and a substantially upright member comprising a channel extending thereinto, the channel angled into the member, the channel having an upper wall and a lower wall, optionally the upper wall having a recess disposed therein. The channel may be angled downwardly into the member.

A work holder for hair extension includes a bracket adapted to hold an extension hair piece, a body to which the bracket is detachably assembled and an attaching device that is adapted to attach the body to a flat surface. The bracket includes a plurality of comb bristle rods, each of which includes an elongated vertical bar having a predetermined length, a horizontal bar extending from the vertical bar and having a predetermined width, and a stop bar extending from the horizontal bar and having a predetermined height.

An article for mounting to a vertical surface comprising a substrate having a first layer formed from a flexible film or sheet and a second layer formed with a conventional low-tack non-reactive reusable adhesive effective for attaching the substrate to drywall or plaster or wood surfaces. At least one rigid component is attached to the substrate. The second layer covers at least a portion of the first layer for attaching to a vertical surface and includes a release area, wherein the release area is positioned such that it is vertically above the at least one rigid component. The rigid component operates to produce a cantilever moment and wherein the release area operates to counteract the cantilever moment.

A merchandising display assembly includes an ornamental panel and at least one frame. The at least one frame includes a plurality of upright members. First and second upright members of the plurality of upright members cooperate to slidably receive the ornamental panel in an opening defined therebetween. Each upright member defines a plurality of openings along a length thereof. The assembly further includes a plurality of merchandising support members. A plurality of adjustable members carry the plurality of merchandising support members. Each adjustable member includes first and second ends for selectively engaging apertures of the plurality of upright members.

An outfit hanger and displayer has a head section, a shoulder section, a torso section, a bottom (hip/waist) section, a neck section, an arm section, and a hand section. In some embodiments the head section has a loop, a hanging hook and an earring section. The earring section can be made of, among other things, a polystyrene foam, a magnetic material, a plastic material, or an adhesive material. In some embodiments the torso section is expandable. In some embodiments the hanger has a necklace/scarf guide that can be used to display necklaces or scarves on the hanger. In some embodiments, the outfit hanger has at least one stabilizing foot.

A mounting system for attaching items on railing spindles includes a plurality of rails, a fastener, and a rail hook for attaching accessories. The mounting system is configured to removably mount the rails to railing spindles without causing damage to the railing spindles, wherein the fastener is comprised of a first element configured to engage a surface of a flanged aperture on a second rail, and a second element configured to engage a first and second major surface of a first rail through aligned apertures of the first rail. The rail hook is then selectively attachable to the plurality of rails, wherein a plurality of accessories may be attached to the rail hooks for attaching items to railing spindles.

A fastener assembly is provided having a cylindrical shank with a plurality of annular grooves formed along a length of the shank. A plurality of elongated ribs extends perpendicular to the grooves along the length. A fastener disc is provided with a central opening with a diameter less than a cylindrical shank diameter wherein an inner edge of the central opening includes a contact surface. The fastener disc is retained on the fastener portion in a locked position when the contact surface engages one of the plurality of grooves with a friction fit. The fastener disc is rotated to a release position so that the elongated rib contacts the inner edge thereby releasing the contact surface from the grooves.

A hook arrangement device for hanging items along a rack with (1) a generally S-shaped hook having an interior and exterior portion; (2) a first U-shaped configuration at one end of the S; (3) a plurality of mounting tabs extending from the interior portion of the first U-shaped configuration; (4) a second U-shaped configuration at the other end of the S in inverted relationship to the first U-shaped end; and (5) a U-shaped insert with an interior and exterior portion. The exterior portion of the U-shaped insert is mounted to the interior portion of the first U-shaped configuration using the mounting tabs of the interior portion of the first U-shaped configuration to allow the hook to fit over a bar or rack and thereby holding the hook in a vertical position perpendicular to the bar or rack.
