The helix is configured to rotate in a dispensing direction for dispensing the one or more items of merchandise from the rod and/or an opposite loading direction for loading the one or more items of merchandise onto the rod.
System to support cantilevered members from a vertical panel
A system to support a member extending from a wall. The system includes a wall with one more apertures, a bracket configured to be disposed an aperture, and a member comprising a tang, wherein the tang is configured to be supported by the bracket. The bracket comprises a body with a hole, the hole receives the tang therein, wherein the body comprises a plurality of surfaces that collectively define the hole, wherein the body includes a portion biased inwardly toward the opposite surface, wherein the biased portion extends inwardly past an inner surface of the respective wall of the plurality of walls that includes the biased portion. The body further includes a plurality of fingers extend from the plurality of walls, the plurality of fingers each biased in a direction away from the hole.
Adjustable fish-supporting photographic rack assembly
An adjustable fish-supporting photographic rack assembly particularly well-suited for temporarily supporting a catch of fish in a highly organized manner during the taking of a photograph or digital image thereof includes a main panel body having a front surface, a rear surface, and a periphery defined by contiguous upper, lower, left and right peripheral edges. A pair of main panel supports includes respective integral depressions sized and shaped to conform to opposite lower corners of the main panel body for snugly receiving and retaining the lower corner portions therein, effectively supporting the main panel in an upright vertical orientation. At least one structural feature integrated into the front surface of the main panel body is configured to correspondingly receive at least one hook-receiving structure for selectively coupling a fish-supporting hook member thereto.
Household object storage system
A household object storage system for storing objects in an elevated position within a building. The household object storage system includes a platform and a lift system. The platform has a surface upon which at least one household object may be placed. The lift system includes at least one platform attachment, at least one building attachment, a winch and a rope. The at least one platform attachment is attachable to the platform. The at least one building attachment is attachable to the building. The winch is attachable to the building. The rope operably engages the platform attachment, the building attachment and the winch so that the winch may be used to move the platform between a lower configuration and an elevated configuration.
Container storage apparatus and system
A apparatus and system for removably storing storage containers in an area, such as a garage or shed, having one or more overhead area supports, such as a joist, ceiling or the like, so as to position the storage containers below the area supports above the floor of the area. The apparatus has a container engaging section that holds the container and a mounting section that mounts the apparatus to the area supports. The container engaging section has a static support member and a dynamic support assembly that define a container space for a container. The static support member engages one lip of the container. The dynamic support assembly has a plurality of dynamic supports, each with a biasing mechanism that biases an insert member relative to a tubular receiver member. A device attached to the insert member engages an opposing lip of the container to secure the container.
