Abstract: The invention relates to a bicycle storage place in which within a wall (1) with a lockable doorway (3) a plurality of bicycles with their rear wheels directed towards the central axis (59) are lined up in bicycle holders (9) in two concentric rows (5, 7) on a frame (23) rotatable around a central axis (59). The handlebars of the bicycles in one row (5) extend into the space taken up by the adjacent bicycles of the other row (7). For radially removing a bicycle fastened to its holder (9) through the doorway (3), holders (51, 53) on either one of the two sides of a particular holder (49) are temporarily moved apart by their ends axially directed outwards and counteracting the working of the leaf springs (43 and 45), so that the holder (49) with the bicycle fastened thereon can be moved freely through the doorway (3).

Abstract: An adjustable tilt construction for a toothbrush display rack. The rear wall of the rack is provided with one or more T slots, each slot receiving one of two parallel flanges of a respective leg, said leg being generally H shaped in transverse cross section over at least a portion of its length. One flange of each leg is shorter than the other, and is asymmetrically located with respect to it so as to yield two different distances from the ends of the shorter flange to respective ends of the longer flange. This leg configuration permits three different leg heights by inserting each leg into a respective slot in three different ways. In turn, this permits three different tilt angles for the display rack. Each leg has at least one end having biased edges which releasably frictionally fit into the T shaped slots on the rear wall of the rack. The leg and slot configuration may also be used on any member to provide height adjustment.

Abstract: A stand for supporting simultaneously one or more guitars consists of an upright post having three yokes at its upper end and three radially extending legs assembled on a hub at its lower end. Each leg carries a holding member, vertically aligned under a yoke and serving to receive the bottom strap knob of a guitar while its neck is received within the yoke. Collapse to a small configuration is achieved by moving one tubular piece of the upright post into another, and by moving both pieces through the hub of the leg assembly.

Abstract: Collapsible hat display stand which is easy to package, easy to carry and easy to assemble, made of a durable and light-weight sheet material, die cut with a preset pattern. Each die cut forms at least one or a series of cross-bars horizontally across the sheet, with an M-shaped peak formed on top of each cross-bar. When the stand is fully deployed, each cross-bar forms a hat pedestal. In a multi-hat embodiment, the sheet is scored along vertical scoring axes to form four vertical panels. The sheet is folded along a central scoring to provide a flat, collapsed workpiece for compact storage and shipping. The stand is assembled from the packaged sheet by rotating out the central panels on either side of the central scoring to subtend therebetween an acute angle while overlapping the end panels which are mated. During this assembly process, each of the cross-bars is automatically folded and bowed along the central scoring for forming the hat pedestals.
