Clipboard for digitalizing information
A clipboard is realised as a base for a sheet of paper and with a fastening therefor, with the base provided with at least one RFID transponder. It comprises a marking on the base, which indicates, where exactly the paper is to be placed, as well as at least one sheet of paper with a RFID transponder, wherein a RFID transponder each of the base and of the paper are arranged so as to be close to each other for communication, when the sheet of paper is fixed to the fastening. The base includes a plurality of switches, which are preferably arranged in a matrix, whereas the sheet is provided with various information, instructions and/or choice variants as well as with a number of marking fields, which are respectively arranged at the locations of the switches of the clipboard, when the sheet is fastened on the marking of the base.
Fixture for storage and presentation of goods
A fixture for storage and presentation of goods includes a support structure and a multitude of rod shelves disposed on the support structure. Each of the multitude of rod shelves includes support brackets and rods disposed between the support brackets. The fixture further includes a multitude of configurable trays disposed on the multitude of rod shelves and configured to hold the goods. Each of the multitude of configurable trays is removably clipped to the rods of one of the multitude of rod shelves to occupy substantially all available space between the support brackets.
MARKER DEVICES, MARKER SYSTEMS, AND CONTAINERS WITH MARKER PLATES THEREON FOR DISPLAYING PERSONALIZED INFORMATION, AND RELATED METHODS
Marker devices, marker systems, containers with markers thereon for displaying personalized information and related methods are provided. A marker device for displaying personalized information on a container can include a marker plate that includes a metal plate having first and second sides with a message on at least one of the first or second sides. The marker device can also include a marker housing attached to a container. The marker housing can include a base and perimeter walls extending upward from the base to form a marker receiving station. Further, the marker device can include a housing magnet positioned relative to the marker housing base to hold the marker plate in the marker receiving station. The marker plate can be inserted into the marker receiving station and held therein by the housing magnet. Additionally, the marker plate can be removed from the marker receiving station using a removal tool that has a puller magnet with a stronger magnetic field strength than a magnetic field strength of the housing magnet.
Identification tag for luggage article
In one embodiment, a luggage article (100) is disclosed. The luggage article (100) includes a shell (102) with forming an internal storage volume (166). A recess (140) is formed in the shell (102) and includes a base wall (152) that defines a substantially planar surface (142), and a first peripheral wall (144) that at least partially surrounds the base wall (152) and forms a peripheral shape (146) in the shell (102). The luggage article (100) includes an identification tag assembly (112) including: a display body (122) defining a second peripheral shape (150) and configured to receive an information element (128) configured to display information (164), and a first attachment element (130); a second attachment element (132) coupled to the shell (102) proximate to the recess (140). The first attachment element (130) and the second attachment element (132) together releasably secure the display body (122) to the shell (102) in the recess (140).

DEVICE FOR INDICATING STATUS OF A CONTAINER AND RELATED METHODS
A status-indicating device (10) for indicating a status of a container comprising a support panel and a flap (200) manually actuateable between a first (210) and second (220) position, a permanent magnet (130) disposed in relation to the support panel (100), a slidable member (300) slidably attached to the flap (200), manually slidable between a retracted (316) and an deployed (318) position, wherein the flap (200) is configured such that an exposed portion (312) of the slidable member (300) is unmasked in the deployed (318) position; and the flap (200) comprises a magnetically-regulated linear ratchet mechanism (250) activated in the flap (200) first (210) position and deactivated in the flap (200) second (220), configured when activated to restrict movement of the slidable member (300) towards the retracted position (316).
CERAMIC HOUSEWARE SET WITH INTERCHANGEABLE DECORATIVE ELEMENTS
A ceramic houseware set including a plurality of interchangeable decorative elements is disclosed. The set includes a ceramic main body that has an outer side and defines a main body recess on the outer side thereof. The main body recess receives either a magnet or a ferromagnetic material. The decorative elements each include, on a back side thereof, a complementary ferromagnetic material or magnet for coupling to the magnet or ferromagnetic material on the main body. In use, the decorative elements selectively couple to the main body such that they are interchangeable.

A magnetic dishwasher status indicator, having a magnetic slider to alternately cover and reveal an indicator status label to show whether dishes are clean or dirty, the magnetic slider including a slider magnet providing for snapping the magnetic slider into place via one of a pair of base magnets within the indicator base.
DEVICE FOR ATTACHING ITEMS TO SURFACE
The present invention is directed to a device for attaching items to a surface, including attachment devices for attaching the device to the surface and pressure components connected to the attachment device, the pressure component having an upturned lip. The device may comprise a rib on a bottom surface to receive the attachment device such as adhesive, putty, fasteners, magnets, suction cups, etc. Pressure components may be biased toward the surface or a plate. Pressure may be applied between the pressure components and the surface or plate due to a curved lip on the pressure component. The pressure component and plate may be biased toward each other. The device may comprise an attachment core configured to receive the attachment device and attach to the pressure components. The device may include promotional designs or markings, and/or may be configured to hold items in a substantially non-coplanar arrangement with the surface.
