  • Patent number: 7338020
    Abstract: An attachment device for mounting an object to non-porous surface comprises a spring-loaded suction pad assembly, a rigid cover formed to fit upon the pad assembly, and an articulated actuator arm pivotally coupled to the pad assembly and movable upon the cover to selectively urge the pad assembly into sealing contact with the surface. The suction pad assembly includes a pliable pad member having a rigid stem centrally affixed thereto and a compression spring set coaxially about the stem between the pad member and the inside cover to apply pressure upon the pad member. The articulated actuator arm includes a base member pivotally coupled to the stem and a mounting sleeve flexibly joined to the base member with an extension spring coaxially engaged therethrough. The base member is formed to compress or release the suction pad assembly and is adapted to be locked to the cover in the compressed position.

  • Publication number: 20060261016
    Abstract: An improved bracket assembly is specially fabricated and adapted for mounted installation upon a conventional pegboard panel or like support surface to hold products and promotional materials in merchandising displays. The present bracket assembly comprises upper and lower clip arm members rearwardly directed in a bifurcated manner with each clip arm member having respective pronged clips for separate aligned engagement with the pegboard panel, an extendable channel strip arm member forwardly disposed having a channel strip segment attached thereto, and a junction box assembly intermediately positioned and adapted to engage the respective arm members and lock them in their respective position on the pegboard panel. The junction box assembly includes an upper box cover and lower box base formed to fit in a substantially closed configuration and adapted to be clamped together by a locking screw vertically disposed therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20050205732
    Abstract: An improved attachment device is disclosed for mounting an object to non-porous surface comprising a spring-loaded suction pad assembly, a rigid cover formed to fit upon and engage the pad assembly, and an articulated actuator arm pivotally coupled to the pad assembly and movable upon the cover to selectively urge the pad assembly into sealing contact with the surface. The suction pad assembly includes a pliable pad member having a rigid stem centrally affixed thereto, the stem projecting perpendicularly from the pad member and formed to engage a central opening in the cover. A compression spring set coaxially about the stem is disposed between the pad member and the inside cover to apply pressure upon the pad member.

  • Patent number: 6915923
    Abstract: An improved coupon dispenser is disclosed comprising a rigid housing assembly that includes a front cover and a mating rear housing section engaged together to provide a storage chamber for a stack of folded coupon sheets. The front cover is provided with a rounded dispensing mouth having a rectangular opening formed therein between upper and lower panel surfaces that extend across the mouth in separate inclined planes. The front cover is further provided with a plurality of internal ribs integrally formed and extending longitudinally through the chamber on all sides, the ribs along the upper chamber being curved and tapered at the dispensing mouth leading to the opening. A P-shaped pusher member engaged to the rear housing section and mounted on a coil spring is disposed for travel longitudinally through the chamber of the front cover to urge the coupons forwardly toward the opening in the dispensing mouth guided along by the internal ribs.

  • Patent number: 6889868
    Abstract: An improved coupon dispenser device is disclosed comprising an outer box having a sloped front end with rectangular opening therein, a channeled inner sleeve longitudinally extending through the outer box, and a curved, spring-loaded pusher member therein contained and directed to urge a stack of folded coupon sheets axially through the sleeve and to the opening in the outer box in a deflected manner. The inner sleeve is constructed having channeled top and bottom wall surfaces substantially saw-tooth in their configuration and further formed having a sloped profile at its open front end conforming with the sloped front end of the outer box. The sloped front end of the outer box is formed in two divergent planes established by separate top and bottom panels positioned on either side of the opening so that the outermost coupon sheet is delivered at the opening with its leading flap extending therefrom in a position of easy retrieval for the consumer.

  • Patent number: 6584712
    Abstract: An improved display device is disclosed for holding an advertisement or the like in a card or sheet-like form upon a shopping cart. The display device comprises a base panel having a substantially rectangular body and a plurality of longitudinal slots formed therethrough, the slots extending across the body of the base panel in separate radial and tangential directions to provide multiple areas of access to the shopping cart wall for balanced mounting of the device. Each of the slots is further provided with a support post extending centrally across the width of the slot to provide support for the attachment to the shopping cart wall by means of conventional cable ties. A cover frame adapted to releasably engage the base panel around the periphery thereof is formed having a substantially rectangular outer configuration and a rectangular aperture through the thickness thereof to provide a viewing window for the advertisement displayed through the frame.
