Abstract: A display device comprises a flexible body portion including an upper portion, a lower portion and a base portion. The upper and lower portions adjoin one another by a periphery adapted to permit pivoting of the upper and lower portions so as to be generally folded against one another when in a collapsed condition, and to permit pivoting of the upper and lowers portion away from one another when in an assembled condition. The lower and base portions adjoin one another by a periphery adapted to permit pivoting of the lower portion and the base portion so as to be generally folded against one another when in a collapsed condition, and to permit pivoting of the lower portion and the base portion away from one another when in an assembled condition such that the base portion supports the upper portion and the lower portion in a generally upright orientation.

Abstract: A modular display platform comprises at least two sections of the same shape. Each section is fixedly disposed next to an adjacent section in staggered relationship such that a perimeter sections form a stepped pattern for facilitating the abutting and interlocking of additional platforms thereat. The sections form a support surface for products disposed thereon. A sidewall is disposed generally along at least a portion of the perimeter and has an edge for engaging an external mounting surface. The support surface and the sidewall cooperate to define a recess. At least one standoff is disposed within the recess and has a surface extending in a direction generally parallel to that of the sidewall from a proximal end adjacent to the support surface to a distal end for engaging the external surface in order to strengthen the support surface at locations inwardly of the perimeter.

Abstract: A display device comprises at least first, second and third plates each having forward and rearward surfaces wherein the second plate is rearward of the first plate, and the third plate is rearward of the second plate. A biasing member permits relative movement of adjacent plates between retracted and expanded positions upon pulling the first plate forwardly. The retracted plates are in registration with one another whereby generally only the forward surface of the first plate is exposed for viewing information to be displayed thereon from a position generally forward of the display device. The plates in the expanded position are biased toward the retracted position and oriented such that the forward surface of the first plate, the rearward surface of the second plate and the forward surface of the third plate are exposed for viewing information to be displayed thereon from a position generally forward of the display device.

Abstract: A display device disposes in an upside down orientation at least one container having a body portion and a neck portion wherein the neck portion is disposed below the body portion when the product is in the upside down orientation. The display device is useful for articles having labels which convey meaning in an upright and upside down orientation. The display device includes an elongated member defining a conduit extending between first and second ends for accommodating one or more containers in an upside down orientation such that the neck portion of the containers face the second end of the conduit. A stop member is associated with the elongated member and disposed beyond the conduit and adjacent to the second end for providing a barrier to thereby prevent containers from falling out of or otherwise accidentally leaving the conduit.

Abstract: A book retention device comprises a sleeve for accommodating a book with a binder hole extending therethrough. The sleeve includes a first side cover, a second side cover, and a back cover. The sleeve defines a hole for being placed in registration with the binder hole of the book. A suspending member has a first end for being secured to an external mounting surface, and a second end defining a hole for being placed in registration with the hole defined by the sleeve. The hole of the sleeve and the hole of the suspending member cooperate to permit a fastener to be received through the holes of the suspending member, the sleeve, and the book for securing the book to the external mounting surface and for permitting the sleeve and book accommodated therein to pivot relative to the suspending member in order to adjust the position of the book.

Abstract: An inflatable container comprises a support wall defining a storage cavity. The support wall includes a flexible material forming at least one air chamber that when full of air or other gas forms a structure for holding ice and other material received within the storage cavity of the support wall. A drainage compartment communicates with a generally lower portion of and is disposed external to the storage cavity defined by the support wall for drawing melted ice away from the storage cavity and into the drainage compartment.

Abstract: A display device includes a rigid back cover to be attached to a mounting surface. A rigid front cover is positioned in overlying relationship to the back cover for showing product identification information, and a rigid panel is provided having a grip portion and a support portion for holding an information sheet. The panel is between and movable relative to the covers from a retracted position to an extended position. The panel in the retracted position has the support portion underlying and hidden by the front cover and the grip portion projecting outwardly from the front cover for providing access to pull the panel to the extended position. The panel in the extended position has the support portion projecting outwardly from the front cover, whereby the information sheet is hidden by the front cover when the panel is retracted, and the information sheet is exposed when the panel is extended.

Abstract: An adjustable dispensing and exhibiting tray for adjustably handling articles of different dimension includes an integrally formed base member having a forwardly downwardly inclined base panel with closely transversely spaced longitudinal ribs delineating longitudinal sockets. Partition panels separably engage pre-selected channels to delineate passageways for slidably accommodating articles of corresponding widths. A transverse socket along the base panel front edge engages the bottom border of an upwardly directed stop defining panel. The base member includes side walls with pin engageable notches to facilitate the inclined mounting of the device.
