The present invention relates to an illuminated niche for storing cinerary urns. The niche includes a bottom wall, a top wall, a right side wall, and a left side wall that together define a hollow rectangular body. The niche includes a rear wall made of a translucent material configured to seal the niche at a rear end and allow a light flux to enter the interior of the niche. The niche includes a perimeter frame provided at an opposing end of the rectangular body. The perimeter frame defines an access area and provides a support frame for a fastening system. The fastening system receives an access door that allows access to the interior of the niche. The access door is made of a transparent material to allow the access door to act as a screen through which it is possible to see the illuminated interior of the niche.

Interlocking, detachable beverage holders each include a block having a central beverage receptacle that is dimensioned and configured to receive and conform to a wine bottle or similar container. The beverage receptacle is defined by a continuous inner wall having a plurality of ribs longitudinally positioned thereon that stabilize a stored container. Each block exterior includes a plurality of protrusions, notches, rims and concave cleats that seamlessly intermesh with those of other blocks allowing multiple blocks to be interconnected like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Each block contains a refrigerant that reaches a frigid temperature when placed within a freezer to chill a beverage stored within the beverage receptacle.

A system and method for a rack. The rack has at least one shelf which has at least two longitudinal rails. The rails each have an upper end and a lower end. The upper end is coupled to a mount. The longitudinal rails are separated by a void and are further coupled to a lip at the end. The longitudinal rails are angled relative to said mount at an angle less than 90 degrees. In one vertical rack, the mount is sandwiched between a base support and a neck support, with each support having a void to receive a bottle.

A wine bottle holder including a plate and an extension member coupled to the plate. The extension member may extend outwards from the plate and a ring may be coupled to the extension member. The ring may be configured to receive a portion of the wine bottle. The ring may include a cylindrical body with opposite surfaces that are parallel to each other. The opposite surfaces may define oblique openings.

A product holder system includes a bracket including a front wall. A rear panel is coupled to the bracket. One or more product holders are coupled to the bracket. The one or more product holders are configured to retain one or more products. One or more securing assemblies are configured to secure the product holder system to a surface of a component. A sign retainer is defined between the front wall and the rear panel. The sign retainer includes a retaining channel having an open top. The sign retainer is configured to retain a sign within the retaining channel. The sign is configured to be inserted into and removed from the retaining channel through the open top.

A shelf for storing bottles in a wine cabinet has a rectangular frame bounded by two side beams and two crossbeams, respectively front and rear, and being equipped with individualized reception locations for a plurality of bottles. Each slot has a cradle for the neck of a bottle, the cradle being equipped with a sensor to detect the presence of a bottle neck. The front crossbeam of the shelf can include, for each individualized location, an electronic device to visualize the presence of a bottle.

A modular bottle rack system which includes a plurality of rack components. Each of the rack components may include a first receptacle and a second receptacle facing in opposite direction. The rack components may have S-shaped transverse cross-sectional areas. The rack components may also include connection features designed to enable the various rack components to be coupled together. The rack components may be able to be stacked with each rack component nesting within the rack component above and/or below. The system may also include mounting brackets for mounting the bottle rack to a wall in various different configurations.

The present invention provides releasable brackets that can fasten to mounting panels. The invention also includes wall mounting assemblies. The brackets can be inserted into vertical slots in the mounting panel. The mounting panel can be mounted to a wall. The brackets are securely fastened to the mounting panel but can be removed if needed. The brackets have an outwardly extending arm that can be used to support and hold various items such as hand tools, power tools, utensils, and the like.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for cooling of beverages containers, such as cans or bottles, quickly, or on demand. An apparatus may provide for quickly cooling a number of beverage containers when power is available and for storing them, once they have been cooled. The apparatus may include a thermoelectric cooler configured to rapidly cool a beverage container in a cooling cell. The methods may include detecting the presence of a beverage container in a cooling cell and cooling the beverage container to a selected temperature. The availability of external power may be detected and a rapid cooling of a beverage container may begin when power becomes available.

A product holder system is configured to be removably secured to a surface of a component. The system may include a bracket including a main beam and at least one securing mount, and at least one product holder removably and adjustably secured to the main beam. The product holder is configured to removably retain a product. At least one securing assembly is connected to the securing mount(s). The securing assembly is configured to removably secure the product holder system to the surface of the component.
