Abstract: A support system for rack elements has a support element and a hanging element. The support element has an upwardly projecting suspension rail and the hanging element is provided with a slot, by which the hanging element can be plugged onto the suspension rail. The support system is distinguished in that the suspension rail is provided with a curvature, and the slot has a corresponding curvature, with the result that the hanging element can be plugged onto the suspension rail, and removed therefrom, by a rotary movement.

Abstract: An improved motorcycle wheel stand having a set of guide rails (12), a set of vertical supports (14), a positive stop (18), and a perpendicular stabilizing tube (16). The wheel is clamped by pressure supplied by an air spring (38) acting upon a pivoting lever (24) attached to a rotating shoe assembly (21) which rotates up and forward against the rear of the wheel, thus pushing the motorcycle into the stand. Removal of the motorcycle is accomplished by the pressing and cocking of assembly (21) by foot and rolling the motorcycle backwards. Assembly (21) is held down by virtue of the center line of spring (38) being out of line relative to spring mounting points (36) and (34) and the pivot point of lever (24).

Abstract: An article organizer enables a user to organize substantially planar articles and substantially three-dimensional articles adjacent one another. The article organizer comprises a support member and two parallel coils. The support member comprises opposing support ends and a superior support surface. Each support end comprises coil end-retaining structure and each coil comprises opposing coil ends, certain helical structure, and article-receiving gaps. The article-receiving gaps are positioned in side-by-side relation intermediate the helical structure and extend intermediate the opposing support ends. The coil end-retaining structure retains the opposing coil ends for retentively positioning the coils in superior adjacency to the superior support surface, substantially parallel to one another.
Abstract: A utility hook is adapted to removably fit upon a standard overhead garage door track so as to not interfere with the garage door operation and may be used to suspend bulky items from the garage door track. The utility hook's lower portion may be hook-shaped to suspend a bicycle or alternatively have a flat horizontal bottom to suspend a ladder. The utility hook's upper portion is a vertical segment continuous from the lower portion and bent at the top to approximately a right angle with an inward turned lip on the end, fitting over and engaging the upper flange of the track when the utility hook is set in place. The hook may be moved along the track by first rotating the utility hook outward away from the track and then sliding the utility hook along the track.
