Abstract: Disclosed is a space saving, heat-damage reducing, mess-avoiding hanging apparatus for cookware or bakeware closures and related methods. In use, the apparatus may be (a) contained within cookware/bakeware while the closure or lid is closing the cookware/bakeware or (b) used to hang the closure or lid on to the bakeware/cookware in a handle-out orientation via laying the hook of the apparatus over a lip or edge of the cookware or bakeware.

Abstract: A dinnerware display includes a piece of dinnerware, a base, a track and a dinnerware mount. The track is securely coupled to the base behind the piece of dinnerware. The dinnerware mount is at least partially received by and is slidably coupled to the track such that the dinnerware mount can be slid along the track. The dinnerware mount includes two arms circumferentially spaced from one another and each defining a clasp for receiving a portion of the piece of dinnerware. When the dinnerware mount is in a first position with respect to the track, the piece of dinnerware is securely maintained between the base and the dinnerware mount. When the dinnerware mount is in a second position with respect to the track, the piece of dinnerware is removable from between the base and the dinnerware mount. Other dinnerware displays, fixtures and associated methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computing device with an expansion module that may be removed and replaced in an expansion slot is disclosed. The computing device includes computer circuitry to which the expansion module may be electrically connected by means of electrical connectors. The expansion module is coupled to a removable portion of the housing so that when said portion is swung open with assistance of mechanical force, the expansion module is simultaneously disengaged from the computer circuitry. Thereafter, the expansion module can be further removed from said portion.

Abstract: A plate rail with a base having an upstanding arm removably mounted thereto. The arm has a support position supporting the backside of a plate leaning thereagainst such that the frontside of the plate is displayed. The arm is removable from the base while the arm is in the support position by rectilinear upward withdrawal of the arm from the base. An add-on lower leg may be positioned beneath the base so that the plate rail is changed in attitude with respect to a horizontal surface on which the plate rail rests. The upstanding arm may be reversible in placement in the base so that the upstanding arm has a first orientation with regard to the base in use with the add-on leg, and a second orientation with regard to the base in use without the add-on leg.
