A mounting apparatus for variably displaying an item includes a clamping device including a first jaw, and a cradle, the clamping device configured to adjustably decrease a distance between the first jaw and the cradle to apply a clamping force therebetween upon an item to be displayed. A swiveling device coupled to the clamping device is configured to selectively permit and prevent swiveling adjustment of a position of the clamping device independently of the distance between the first jaw and the cradle. The swiveling device, when loosened, permits three dimensional rotation adjustments of the clamping device. A three-member cradle has a second jaw opposite the first jaw, and a pair of laterally and diagonally extending shoulders.

An arrowhead shaped skull mount is configured to support and display an attached animal trophy skull in a horizontal configuration and a vertical configuration. In the horizontal configuration, the trophy skull is attached to the skull mount and the skull mount is supported by a horizontal surface, such as a table or a mantle. In the vertical configuration, the trophy skull is attached to the skull mount and the skull mount is attached to a vertical surface, such as a wall or a post. The skull mount is configured to convert or switch between the horizontal configuration and the vertical configuration without altering the attachment method of the trophy skull to the skull mount.

The present invention provides a device for mounting a length of decoration to wall décor of various sizes and shapes such a framed or unframed artwork, mirrors, and the like. The device is easily mounted to or removed from the top of the wall décor for short-term or long-term decoration. The present invention comprising an upper frame section, a lower frame section contiguous to the upper frame section, and a pair of horizontal mounting members that are extended in opposite directions to match the width of the wall décor. The lower frame section engages the horizontal top edge and the vertical backside of the wall décor for mounting stability. The length of decoration is detachably attached to the upper frame section and the pair of horizontal mounting members of the present invention.

A connecting device for connecting two lids includes a hoop member having first and second edges and at least one inwardly-extending protrusion located at the first edge and at the second edge. The connecting device also includes an outwardly-extending tab affixed to the exterior surface of the hoop member, where the tab has a through hole. The hoop member is sized so as to fit within and engage with two opposing like-shaped lids to form a closed structure. According to one aspect of the invention, two lids are repurposed candle lids that would otherwise be discarded, and the closed structure forms an ornamental apparatus such as a holiday decoration.

This invention relates to a taxidermy mounting apparatus. More particularly, there is provided for a taxidermy mounting apparatus comprising a backing board, a mannequin moulded on the backing board and a mounting device for use in mounting the mannequin and backing board relative to a supporting structure, the mounting device comprising a female member fixed non-rotatably in the mannequin and having an elongate socket extending therein to an open mouth aligned with an opening in the backing board, the socket being configured to receive, in use and in a non-rotatable manner, an elongate male member extending laterally from the supporting structure, such that the male member can then support the mounting apparatus relative to the supporting structure.

The invention relates to a customizable frame system, which can be customized for both shape and size. In some embodiments only the corners are visible, and the structural rails are hidden. In other embodiments, the rails create a frame around the outside of the picture. The rails, and in some embodiments the corners, have a notch that allows the frame to be hung from various sides. The framing system can be supplied in standard sizes and custom sizes. Each corner can be a different shape and color or theme. They can be decorated or embellished with materials, objects or characters. The sides, rails and corners form reusable pieces to make different sizes for new frames.

A mounting apparatus for variably displaying an item includes a clamping device including a first jaw, and a cradle, the clamping device configured to adjustably decrease a distance between the first jaw and the cradle to apply a clamping force therebetween upon an item to be displayed. A swiveling device coupled to the clamping device is configured to selectively permit and prevent swiveling adjustment of a position of the clamping device independently of the distance between the first jaw and the cradle. The swiveling device, when loosened, permits three dimensional rotation adjustments of the clamping device. A three-member cradle has a second jaw opposite the first jaw, and a pair of laterally and diagonally extending shoulders.
