Abstract: A fixture assembly including a plastic-coated wire fixture module and a universal support mechanism therefor. The support mechanism includes a cap module which is connectable to a support module for readily mounting any of a variety of fixture modules on a flat wall or surface. The cap module includes an outer decorative surface defining an open back cover which fits over and is captively received on the support module. Any of a variety of wire fixture modules may be releasably connected to the cap module such that they extend transversely thereto.

Abstract: A free standing article-supporting structure arranged such that articles may be supported by and are readily removable from such structure. The structure comprises an open-sided frame having a pair of laterally spaced arms including a transversely extending base portion for maintaining such arms in a normally upstruck pose. The arms are joined by one or more reinforced connecting members. The structure further includes one or more laterally elongated slanting shelves affixed to the reinforcing connecting member and extending transversely from the frame. Each shelf is formed from a relatively rigid wire or rod and typically is coated with a material such as vinyl or plastic. A retaining device is provided at opposite ends of the shelf for preventing articles from unwantingly rolling from the shelf. Moreover, an article-retaining lip is provided at the transverse limit of the shelf unit for influencing transverse movement of the articles on the shelf.

Abstract: A mug/cup organizer has a formed wire clip that can slidably engage a shelf; a wire support framework slidably engages the clip adjacent the lower surface of the shelf; a plurality of downwardly extending hooks is attached to the framework. The mugs or cups can be hung from the hooks. The framework can be slid from under the shelf, while being supported by the clip, to remove cups from or hang cups thereon. The clip, framework and hooks can be formed of attractive, clean, metal-plated wire.
