  • Patent number: 4316546
    Abstract: A hang rail support and bracket in which the hang rail is of rectangular cross section and is adapted to be supported in such a manner that other brackets may be secured along the length of the rail and have merchandize hung therefrom in cantilever fashion. The support and bracket is adapted to be secured to a vertical standard such as the conventional slotted ones and has a vertically extending notch fitting the hang rail with a laterally extending tab that has been shear formed and bent from the material removed from the notch, the tab also having a bumper of yieldable material that presses against a lateral side of the rail to hold the rail firmly in the notch. The notch prevents the rail from rotating; the bumper prevents the rail from being accidentally removed from the notch by frictionally resisting relative movement of the rail.Various forms of the support and rail arrangement are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4227696
    Abstract: A board game comprises a board containing a plurality of playing areas which contiguously form diagonal rows. A plurality of sets of pieces are positioned on the playing areas and are movable thereon. Each piece includes an indicator which, when oriented in the direction of one of the rows toward a piece of the other set, places the latter piece under attack. Each piece originally is oriented on its associated playing area out of the direction of the rows so as to be unable to place a piece of the other set under attack. Each playing area has a smaller attack area therein oriented at an angle relative to the playing area and corresponding in shape to the pieces. Accordingly, when a piece is turned to an attack position, it is aligned with the attack area. The sets of pieces are initially set up on the playing areas to form mutually facing pyramids with the front piece of one pyramid laterally offset relative to the front piece of the other pyramid.
