Abstract: An adapted die carrier assembly for a gripping device includes a conventional die carrier, a die adapter, and an alternate die that is not configured to directly engage die receptacles of the conventional die carrier. The die adapter is secured to the conventional die carrier, and the alternate die is secured to the die adapter. The die adapter includes a receiving slot and one or more lobes. Each lobe is slidingly secured within one of the die receptacles of the conventional die carrier. Each lobe has an outer surface that is reciprocal to the die receptacles. The alternate die is slidingly secured within the receiving slot of the die adapter. The alternate die includes a gripping surface.

Abstract: An apparatus to hang a game trophy on a support structure and to facilitate adjustment of the orientation of the game trophy relative to the support structure comprising a first member, having a dog and a protruding peg with an enlarged head, and a saddle portion adjacent to the enlarged head, and a second member having a bay opening, a bay, a recess adjacent to the bay opening, and a plurality of generally adjacent dog recesses. A method of hanging a game trophy comprises receiving the enlarged head of the peg through the bay opening to align the saddle portion of the first member with the throat of the bay of the second member, and by then receiving the dog into an aligned dog recess of the second member to releasably couple the second member to the first member.
