The mounting bracket includes a body that has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a first mounting hole that passes through the body and is located between the first end and the second end. A first resilient wing is located at the first end of the body. A second resilient wing is located at the second end of the body. A tab protrudes from a first edge of the body. The tab is located between the first end of the body and the second end of the body. A second mounting hole passes through the tab. The first resilient wing and the second resilient wing each extend upward from the body and are biased toward each other such that the first resilient wing and the second resilient wing are configured to grip and secure an object to the mounting bracket.

An apparatus for mounting a vertebrate skull using hooks which are inserted into the openings on either side of the skull formed by the jugal, palatine, alisphenoid, and squamosal bones and a post which supports the basioccipital bone.

The animal skull illumination kit generates illumination. The animal skull illumination kit is configured for use with a display. The display further comprises a skull that is mounted on a mounting panel. The animal skull illumination kit mounts in the skull such that the animal skull illumination kit illuminates the skull. The animal skull illumination kit is remotely controlled. The animal skull illumination kit is independently powered. The animal skull illumination kit is formed as a kit. By kit is meant that all the materials necessary to install the animal skull illumination kit in the skull are provisioned with the animal skull illumination kit. The animal skull illumination kit incorporates a plurality of transparent mounts, an adhesive module, and a control circuit. The adhesive module secures the plurality of transparent mounts to the display. The control circuit generates the illumination provided by the plurality of transparent mounts.

An enclosure for storage, transport, and display of pins for trading includes: a front and a back connected together by a first closure mechanism, such as a zipper; and a second closure mechanism such as a zipper located on an exterior of and connecting a clear cover to the front. The enclosure defines an enclosed interior space between the front and the back in which mounting surfaces are located for pins. The cover and an outwardly facing surface of the front define another enclosed interior space having an additional mounting surface for the mounting pins to be seen through the clear cover and showcased.

A decorative object assembly for attachment to a vertical surface includes a substantially planar decorative block defining an upper edge and a lower edge. A flexible planar strip is made of a thermoplastic polymer, and defines an upper edge parallel to the upper edge of the block, a lower edge parallel to the lower edge of the block, and a vertical direction between the upper and lower edges. A first layer of adhesive extends vertically downward from the upper edge of the strip, for releasable attachment to the vertical surface. An attachment mechanism for attachment to the decorative block is configured on a lower vertical section of the planar strip. A gap section of the strip is vertically located between the first layer of adhesive and the lower vertical section, on which no adhesive is adhered.

A game bird fan can be created using a fixation template having a plurality of radial lines extending from a center region that define a plurality of spaced grid portions circumferentially arranged in a semicircular pattern. The base of the tail is initially aligned with the center region of the template and each of the tail feathers are individually aligned with the spaced grid regions. The tail feathers are temporarily secured to the template after each individual aligning step. An adhesive or epoxy is applied to the quills of the tail in order to retain the tail fan after which the formed tail can be removed from the template. Optionally, a riser can be disposed on the fixation template and beneath the base of the tail prior to aligning, enabling the created fan to have a curved or bowed configuration.
