Display mounting system and method
A system and method for mounting a display or sign to a ceiling, wall or window frame includes an elongated channel having magnets that are affixed to a ceiling grid and mounting hooks or the like to suspend the sign or display from the channel. The channel includes high friction strips on a neck for engagement by a pole end gripper on a pole for mounting the channel on the ceiling while the user stands on the floor. End caps may be mounted on the channel. Mounting plates may be affixed to the ceiling or wall for magnetically engaging the channel. A wall mount channel includes an offset neck for gripping by the pole end gripper. A magnetic clip including a string for suspending a display may be mounted with the pole end gripper. An embodiment of the channel includes hooks for engaging an open girder ceiling.

Retractable pole with curved magnetic grip for boat trailer hook to attach to boat U-bolt
A device for pulling a boat onto a trailer from the water includes a curved magnet with rubber side grips attached to a proximal end of an elongated, retractable, rigid pole. The magnet grabs a metal hook on the end of a boat trailer. The pole allows attachment of the trailer hook to the boat U-bolt without the need for an individual to get into the water to attach the boat. The pole can be stored when not in use, using straps.
TRUCK ACCESSORY
A truck accessory tool includes a handle and a generally planar end plate. The end plate is configured to be positioned adjacent a box or a bag located in a truck bed. The truck accessory tool enables the box or bag to be pulled out of the truck bed by contacting the box or bag while pulling the tool rearwardly. The truck accessory tool additionally enables the box or bag to be pushed into the truck bed by contacting the box or bag while pushing the tool forwardly.

Bottle transfer apparatus
The present invention relates to a device for transferring a plurality of bottles provided with chimes from a box to a storage facility. The device has a handle adjacent to bottle engagement fingers forming slots or gaps between the fingers to scoop the plurality of bottles and transfer the bottles into a designated storage facility such as a refrigerator. The bottle engagement fingers slidingly engage the bottles under their chimes, the user lifts the scooped bottles using the handle, transferring and slidingly unloading the bottles into the storage facility.
Reach-extending exchange device
A reach-extending exchange device for transferring articles between a teller and a customer includes a shell. The shell comprises an annular wall that extends between a top and a bottom. An aperture that is positioned in the top of the shell is configured to selectively position at least one article in the shell. A panel that is complementary to the aperture is slidably coupled to the top of the shell. A rod, which is elongated, is coupled to and extends from the shell. The panel is positioned to slide relative to the top to selectively close the aperture to retain the at least one article in the interior space. The rod is configured to be grasped in a hand of the teller to position the shell distal from the teller so that the customer can selectively position the at least one article in the shell.
REACHING AND GRABBING DEVICE
Devices for reaching and grabbing objects suffer from one or more drawbacks. They are unable to grab irregular or heavy object. The present disclosure relates to a device for reaching and grabbing object, including a support comprising a first grip and a rest. An elongated shaft is coupled to the support. A securing mechanism is also coupled to the support. The securing mechanism includes a support plate and a backer plate to which an object can be secured. A loop mechanism may be coupled to the distal end of the elongated shaft and used to secure the object to the grabbing device. The diameter of the loop mechanism can be adjusted by a user at the proximal end of the grabbing device to secure the object to the device.

Multi-functional walking cane and associated use thereof
A multi-functional walking cane includes a body having a cavity provided with a centrally registered longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end opposed therefrom, and a handle disposed at the proximal end. An object-grabbing mechanism is in operable communication with the body. Such an object-grabbing mechanism has an object-grabbing section seated exterior of the body. Advantageously, the object-grabbing section is configured to resiliently deploy between a retracted equilibrium position and an expanded tensioned position, respectively, upon receiving a corresponding user input.
