Abstract: A method of displaying a portable article having a body with a peripheral edge. A support assembly with a frame, fixed relative to a support, is obtained having U-shaped receptacles and a blocking assembly. The portable article is slid guidingly against the support assembly in a first direction consistently along a predetermined first path from a pre-assembly position into a display position. With the blocking assembly in a first state, the blocking assembly does not interfere with guided movement of the portable article oppositely to the first direction from the display position. With the blocking assembly changed into a second state, movement of the portable article in the display position along the predetermined first path oppositely to the first direction is blocked.

Abstract: A method of, and system for, handling a portable article. The method includes the step of delivering the portable article to a destination site at which the portable article is operatively associated with an alarm assembly. The alarm assembly has an armed state and an unarmed state. With the portable article operatively associated with the alarm assembly at the destination site and the alarm assembly in the armed state, the alarm assembly generates an alarm signal in the event an unauthorized activity with respect to the portable article occurs.

Abstract: A method of, and system for, handling a portable article. The method includes the step of delivering the portable article to a destination site at which the portable article is operatively associated with an alarm device. The alarm device has an activated mode and a deactivated mode. With the portable article operatively associated with the alarm device at the destination site and the alarm device in the activated mode, the alarm device generates an alarm signal in the event an unauthorized activity with respect to the portable article occurs.

Abstract: The combination of: a) a portable electronic article; and b) a display assembly. The display assembly has: a support assembly that is engaged with the portable electronic article with the portable electronic article in a display position on the display assembly; and a guide assembly configured to be operatively connected to a support and through which at least a part of the support assembly is guided in a predetermined path relative to the support to which the guide assembly is operatively connected. With the portable electronic article in the display position on the support assembly and the guide assembly operatively connected to the support, the portable article can be reoriented relative to the support by moving the at least part of the support assembly together with the portable electronic device in the predetermined path.

Abstract: The combination of a portable article having a body with a peripheral edge and a support assembly for displaying the portable article. The support assembly has: a frame that supports the portable article in a display position; and a blocking assembly changeable between first and second states. With the blocking assembly in the first state, the portable article can be slide guidingly against the support assembly in a first direction along a first path from a pre-assembly position into the display position. The blocking assembly in the first state does not interfere with movement of the portable article moving in the first path. The blocking assembly in the second state blocks movement of the portable article in the display position along the first path oppositely to the first direction.
