  • Patent number: 5240123
    Abstract: Three preferred embodiments of a baseball cap holder are disclosed. Each embodiment includes a chamfered button ring for retaining a cap by the button typically found at the top of the crown of the cap. All three embodiments in a preferred method of manufacturing are die cut and crease scored from a single sheet of material, such as polypropene plastic. The first embodiment mounts and displays a single baseball cap and comprises a vertical base mounted on a wall, a horizontal cap shape holder and a parallel and spaced chamfered button ring for slidably receiving the cap button. The second embodiment is a cap holder strip, which utilizes a plurality of similar button rings aligned along an elongated axis. The third embodiment comprises a circular pattern having a base for vertical mounting on a wall or the like, a horizontal cap supporting member and above and parallel to the cap supporting member, a button ring.

  • Patent number: 4209883
    Abstract: A paint applicator roller formed of a plastic molded cage made in two elongated matching halves which are aligned to form a roughly cylindrical shape for inserting within a tubular applicator core having an outer applicator surface. The axle of the handle frame is journaled within central bearing forming bores located within the cage. The distance between the bearings is less than one-half the length of the core so that the axle is considerably shorter in length than the core. The two cage halves may be opened, i.e., separated, or may be closed, i.e., radially aligned about the frame axle for rotatably mounting the cage upon the axle.
