  • Patent number: 11142272
    Abstract: A display fixture for holding one or more cycles includes a linear track, a stop, a wheel mount, and a coupling member. The linear track defines a channel along the linear track. The channel is open upwardly and extends from a first end to a second end of the linear track. The stop is secured to the first end of the linear track. The wheel mount is slidably received along the linear track. The wheel mount includes a cam member, slidably interacting with the linear track, and an extension member, extending as an upward bridge between opposing sides of the cam member to receive a wheel of one of the one or more cycles by extending over a portion of the wheel. The coupling member extends through the wheel mount and the linear track to selectively secure the wheel mount in of position along the linear track.

  • Patent number: 11097798
    Abstract: A platform fixture for displaying a wheeled good includes a frame, a rail, a wedge stop, and a mounting bracket. The rail extends across a top of the frame. The wedge stop is configured to selectively receive one or more wheels of the wheeled good and includes longitudinal flanges and two coupling flanges. Each of the two longitudinal flanges extends downwardly from a V-shaped top surface of the wedge stop. Each of the two coupling flanges extends inwardly from a different one of the longitudinal flanges. The mounting bracket is coupled to the rail and includes two T-shaped side segments defining a base portion and a cross bar that is wider than the base portion. Each of the two coupling flanges includes a cutout. The wedge stop is coupled to the mounting bracket by placing each base portion within the cutout of a different one of the two coupling flanges.
