Abstract: A device for holding and facilitating the unloading therefrom of packaged merchandise onto a peg of a pegboard display includes a coupler, such as a tube segment having an open end and a closed end, and a stem having a flat segment with two ends, one of which is attached to the closed end of the tube segment. The diameter of the tube segment and the width of said flat segment may be substantially equal. The other end of the flat segment may be attached to a stop which has a width that is substantially greater than the diameter of the tube segment.

Abstract: Merchandise display system includes a suspending mechanism for suspending a plurality of articles therefrom. The suspending mechanism has a suspending member sized and shaped so as to extend from a support member in a generally downward direction such that the plurality of articles can be fed downwardly along the suspending member. A guiding mechanism is also provided for positioning the plurality of articles in proper orientation. The guiding mechanism includes a guiding member sized and shaped so as to extend from the support member and engageable with side portions of the plurality of articles. The guiding member also includes an end sized and shaped so as to wrap around a lower front portion of an article located at a forward end of the plurality of articles for orienting the plurality of articles in a substantially upright orientation.

Abstract: An ironing board which is constructed from at least two planar members each having at least one planar surface, the planar members being arranged so that the edges thereof abut with the planar surfaces thereof falling in a common plane, there being sufficient space between the edges of the planar members to permit the passage of steam therebetween, the planar members being fastened together in a suitable manner. A plurality of legs are fixedly secured to the planar members to support the planar members above a supporting surface.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a base, a mast supported thereon and a net attached to the top of the mast. The net is approximately square in shape and formed from a plastic material having large gaps therein. The mast passes through the center of the net and the corners of the square net are folded up and attached to the top of the mast. The mast includes a pull-apart collapsible feature and means near the top of said mast to receive a display sign. After the apparatus has been erected, the net may be filled with display merchandise. The merchandise causes the net to expand and imparts to the apparatus a "blossoming" appearance.
