  • Patent number: 7497411
    Abstract: A picture hanger has an upper piece, a lower piece, and a screw that extends through apertures in shelves on bases of the pieces. The aperture on the lower piece has threads mating with the screw threads on the shaft so that when the upper piece is fixedly mounted on the vertical surface by an elongated fastener the lower piece is held in place only by the threads of the shaft engaging the threads in the aperture on the lower piece shelf. The base of the lower piece carries a picture wire receiving hook so that turning the screw enables the height of the picture to be changed. Strengthening ribs extend between the base and shelf of both pieces.

  • Publication number: 20070267314
    Abstract: A point-of-sale device carries an article and a fastener for use with the article. The device comprises a structure enabling the device to be presented to a prospective purchaser at a retail shop. The article and fastener are located in the structure behind the transparent region so the article and one fastener can be seen by the prospective purchaser. The fastener is fixedly mounted between the transparent region and the article so the fastener can be seen by the prospective purchaser in front of the article and through the transparent region while the device is presented to the prospective purchaser and the likelihood of the fastener being misplaced prior to use, after opening of the transparent region is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7048156
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser bottle includes a suction tube and a spray nozzle. An end of the tube abuts an intersection of the bottle base and wall when the bottle is in use. A screen extending between opposite sides of a wall of the tube at the end where the intersection is located overcomes a tube tendency to collapse and enables liquid to flow from the corner of the bottle into the tube. Aesthetic undulations in the bottle wall cause liquid to flow therefrom toward the base when the bottle is vertically disposed, so liquid is not retained in the undulations.
