Abstract: An anti-theft assembly for deterring theft of a ring is provided. The anti-theft assembly includes a base that can be used to support an electronic article surveillance marker; a product engagement member including a support member that supports the ring during use and a locking member that secures the support member to the base; and an attachment member for securing the ring to the support member. In one embodiment, the support member and the locking member are a single, unitary member. In another embodiment, the support member and the locking member are separate members. Once assembled, upon applying a twisting force to the ring the engagement member rotates within the opening so that the attachment member is not broken.

Abstract: A display card for three-dimensional ornamental articles includes a main card portion, a hanger portion for hanging the card from a display stand and a flange portion which extends forwardly from the card portion for suspending an ornamental article in free space in forwardly spaced relation to the front side of the card portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for thermographically printing a succession of labels or the like is disclosed. A continuous strip of labels is stepwisely fed by a label feed assembly to a printing pad at a printing station, while a conventional thermographic strip is simultaneously stepwisely fed thereto so that the strip overlies a label at the station. A heated print head having various type elements engages the thermographic strip for urging it against the label at the station to effect printing. The print head is part of a printing assembly and is operated through parallel linkage arms which maintain it substantially parallel to the pad and thereby provide even pressure over the printing surface during the printing apparatus. The printing assembly, the label feed assembly and the thermographic strip feed assembly are all mechanically driven through a drive assembly to provide positive coordination in their operation.

Abstract: A jewelry display card is disclosed that includes a cellulosic card having means formed thereon for suspending said card from a support. A flexible synthetic foam sheet is fixed to said card with at least a portion of its perimeter bonded to said card to form an enclosure suitable for supporting an article of jewelry. The enclosure may be located on the forward side of the card for displaying the article of jewelry thereon, or may be located on the rear side of the card for containing a portion of a jewelry article therein such as a chain which is interconnected to an article of jewelry that is displayed on the front side of the card.

Abstract: A display stand of the type having vertically spaced bars adapted to releasably receive display cards in suspended relation thereon. The display stand comprises vertically extending corner stanchions comprising wall portions extending in the plane of adjacent sides of the display stand, the inner surfaces of said wall portions removably receiving an elongated strip which extends for substantially the extent of said stanchion and which extends across each corner stanchions to define a generally triangular configuration in cross-section, said strips being provided with vertically spaced support means for receiving and supporting the ends of horizontal bars on which the display cards are mounted.

Abstract: A device such as an earring card having a main panel adapted to display jewelry articles while oriented in a generally vertical position by suspension from a rod or the like. Preferably, the upper portion of the main panel adjacent to a centrally disposed display area includes a pair of vertically spaced, parallel, outwardly extending flanges, which in combination with that portion of the main panel disposed therebetween form a slot or groove adapted to receive a secondary panel on which advertising or other identifying material may be placed. Accordingly, the secondary panel is removable such that the indicia may be changed without modifying the package. Means for preventing the lateral movement of the second panel with respect to the first is provided either in the form of an upwardly extending tab adapted for receipt in an opening in one of the flanges or by means of a plurality of serrations provided on opposite edges of the second panel for frictional engagement with the flanges.

Abstract: A display package for jewelry and the like comprising a first panel adapted to be suspended from a support, said first panel having a pair of rearwardly extending flanges adapted to removably receive a second panel having at least a pair of end walls, whereby when said first and second panels are assembled, they cooperate to define an enclosure located at the rear of said first panel, said enclosure being adapted to receive at least a portion of the jewelry article being displayed.

Abstract: A display device for use in the display of ornamental articles such as jewelry, comprising the combination of a plurality of display inserts and a support for releasably mounting such inserts within recesses formed in the front surface of such support. Each insert is provided with a pair of outwardly rearwardly extending ribs for engagement with relatively straight side edges formed by the terminal portions of webs inwardly extending from the recesses and in turn defining openings therein, the openings particularly adapted to receive rearwardly projecting portions of the articles of jewelry mounted on the inserts.

Abstract: An edger blade uniquely designed to cut into the surface of the ground thus loosening a portion of the dirt, lifting the loosened dirt from the ground, and throwing the dirt to one side. The blade is adaptable for mounting on most home garden edgers powered by internal combustion engines. The blade has a central hub portion provided with a shaft hole adapted to permit the blade to be mounted on the edger shaft. Two arms extend from opposite sides of the central hub portion to form hoe portions that perform the hoeing operations of the invention.

Abstract: A display card holder assembly for displaying articles, such as articles of jewelry, comprising a plastic card having a pair of flanges extending rearwardly therefrom, and a display bar specifically constructed so as to releasbly and slidably receive said card, said bar having a longitudinally extending slot therein receiving one of said card flanges, with the other flange frictionally engaging the bottom of said bar to maintain the card in depending relation with respect to said bar.
