Abstract: Enclosed is an assemblage for displaying and dispensing a plurality of sheet-like materials, one at a time. The assemblage can be mounted in a variety of both hanging and cantilever modes. The assemblage includes one or more stacks of sheet-like materials fastened to a clip which is stamped from a unitary flat blank of resilient material. The clip includes a pair of opposed arms joined to an intermediate base section with lines of weakness, each forming a hinge connection. A rivet fastener connects the stacks of sheet-like materials to both arms, while allowing one arm to slide relative to the other, such that the assemblage may be moved between collapsed and expanded configurations. A head portion extends from the base section and includes a pair of opposed, resiliently hinged ears. The ears may be cupped to fit within a pricing channel at an edge of a store shelf to provide one mode of mounting.

Abstract: Apparatus for either display, or for both display and dispensing, is mounted to shelf tag molding directs customer attention to a featured item in a store as customers approach the area of a shelf on which the item can be found. The apparatus comprises a frame that is pivotally mounted into a bracket assembly which is rigidly secured to the shelf tag molding. The frame holds on either side of its surfaces, promotional material that presents a message to the approaching customers. The apparatus includes biasing springs which position the frame in a steady state location that is normal to the shelf tag molding. Whenever the frame is deflected from its steady state location by, for example, a customer or a shopping cart moving past and striking it, the biasing springs automatically return the frame to its steady state location. This ensures that the advertising message appearing on the promotional materials continually remains in direct view of approaching customers.

Abstract: The invention provides a display table attachment for shopping cards of the type generally found in, for example, high volume food marts and like retail outlets. A typical cart has a wheeled frame carrying a basket that has an open top delineated by a peripheral rail structure whose front and rear ends are differently configured, including shapes and dimensions. The inventive table is configured to accommodate the front and rear configurations in such manner that the table top is level at a comfortable height and thus serves admirably for the display of samples, promotional products and the like, usually monitored by an attendant. Specifically, the table is notched, slotted, etc. at its rear to accommodate the wider and higher rail structure at the rear end of the basket and the front end of the table includes a support for elevating the table, in cooperation with the rear end configuration, so as to achieve the level status of the table.

Abstract: A removably mountable and selectively positionable dashboard tray for holding food, utensils, debris, spillage or the like having an aperture specially adapted for releasable retentive engagement to a footholder for a footed cup or cupholder. Continuous upraised rims extend from both the outer edge of the dashboard tray and that portion of the dashboard tray which is adjacent to the aperture. The aperture adaptations include centering lugs and co-located shoulders in which a circle may be circumscribed whose diameter is smaller than the footholder. The centering lugs project into the aperture so that when the footholder is engaged herewith, the lugs flex away from the axis of the footholder to provide a releasable snap fit of the tray to the footholder.

Abstract: A clasp is provided for a jewelry chain, particularly a chain adapted to hold interchangeable designer elements. The clasp has a male and a female member, the male member locking within the female member and being so sized that, when the clasp is opened, the interchangeable beads are easily slid over it and onto the chain; the female member is sized so as to prevent the decorator elements from being removed from the chain. The male member is preferably a spring which is depressed for insertion into the female member, the spring action causing a portion of the male member to lock with a portion of the female member.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved display package comprising a first body member having a top wall, a cylindrically shaped side wall and a circumferential shoulder member extending outwardly from the terminus of the side wall and a second body member having a top wall, a cylindrically shaped side wall and a circumferential shoulder member extending outwardly from the terminus of the side wall. First body member and the second body member are cooperatively engageable through the use of snap means located on each respective circumferential shoulder member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the combination of an article of jewelry and a connecting means therefore in which the article of jewelry comprises a chain having a plurality of spaced indentations along the side edges thereof. A clasp member is adapted to be connected to the end of the chain wherein the clasp member comprises a first portion having a passage defined by opposed sidewalls and a second portion having a terminal end. The passage receives the chain therein with the side edges of the chain adjacent the opposed sidewalls of the clasp member. The connecting means comprises a plier having opposed jaws which are movable toward and away from each other. A recess is provided in the opposed jaws which is sized to receive the passage portion of the clasp member therein. A plurality of projections are provided in the recess which have the same spacing as the indentations on the chain.
