A display apparatus includes a housing having a pillar shape, a plurality of monitors, and a driving unit received in the housing and providing driving signals to the plurality of monitors. Each of the plurality of monitors displays an image through its front surface and back surface and includes side surfaces connecting the front surface and the back surface. One side surface of the side surfaces of each of the plurality of monitors is coupled to the housing. A thickness of each of the plurality of monitors decreases as a distance from the housing increases.

A support assembly for displaying a portable article having a frame to engage the portable article and a blocking assembly configured with a plurality of arms to maintain the portable article in a display position on the frame. One of the arms is part of a first component. At least a first connector on the first component and at least a first connector on the frame are configured so that the first component can be moved in a first direction: a) from a pre-assembly position, spaced from the frame, towards the frame; and b) into an operative position to thereby cause the at least first connector on the first component to engage the at least first connector on the frame. In the operative position, the first component is substantially blocked from translating relative to the frame in a direction transversely to the first direction.

A multi-functional prayer barrier is an apparatus intended to provide a barrier to show the praying area of a muslim who has no natural barriers such as walls, pillars, people etc. Its purpose is to prevent somebody from passing the area between a muslim in prayer and the barrier. To accomplish this, the apparatus includes a deployable and collapsible tripod that is axially mounted to an extendable and retractable rod. Further, the device itself is very light, compact, and fits within a wallet. Other than its main purpose as a praying barrier, the apparatus is a multifunctional tool that includes an extendable magnet pickup tool, a ruler, a fire starter, and a magnifying glass, such that, the device will also be beneficial even to non-muslim users. Furthermore, the apparatus supports a removable extra sign to make the barrier more noticeable by other people from a distance.

A hair weave stand for unweaving, repairing, refurbishing and weaving hair is shown. The hair weave stand is useful for an easier and space efficient device for unweaving, repairing, replenishing and weaving a hair weave. Also, the hair weave stand is portable and requires less storage space, has a much smaller footprint when using than when performing those tasks currently.

A system for supporting an elongated member with the combination of a base and a collar. The base is configured with an angular portion that extends inwardly and downwardly from an upper edge of the base to a pivot position located between the cavity and a recess that is opposite to the angular portion and configured to receive the elongated member. The collar has an enclosure configured to receive and retain a second end of the elongated member. The base and the collar have respective exterior portions that are configured for attachment to structural elements.

An apparatus with a base and support elements to hold the lid of a cooking vessel. The apparatus has an upright support element attached to the base via a base element, and the upright support element is prevented from rotating in relation to the base element by nature of projections on the upright support element and corresponding indentations on the base element. Further, the apparatus has a horizontal cross member affixed to an upper end of the upright support element, and a holding element extends outwardly at an angle therefrom. The holding element has one or more projections which serve to affix the holding element to the horizontal support element, which itself has apertures and indentations that are complementary in geometry to the projections of the holding element.
