Abstract: A device for shipping, displaying, and storing gloves in which a rack or hanger having a central axial body portion, a retaining portion, and two upright inserting portions, or arms, are used for mounting a pair of bulky gloves, such as those used for playing hockey. The gloves are retained on closely aligned arms, which hold the gloves upright with their palms facing inward, thus prominently displaying the backhand side of the gloves while providing secure, dense packing of the gloves. The hanger is suitable for shipping, displaying, and storing of a pair of gloves. The hanger is formed of a single steel wire, bent to form each portion of the hanger, thus providing a strong, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective product.

The wheel retaining device includes an elongate body dimensioned for insertion through apertures formed in the wheels and retainers positioned proximate opposite ends of the elongate body for retaining the wheels on the elongate body. The wheel retaining device includes a locking mechanism for securing the wheels on the elongate body.

Abstract: A wheel retaining device for retaining a plurality of replacement wheels. The wheel retaining device includes an elongate body dimensioned for insertion through apertures formed in the wheels and a retainer positioned proximate at least one of the opposite ends of the elongate body for retaining the wheels on the elongate body.

Abstract: A display apparatus for supporting an in-line skate. The display apparatus includes a support member and a retainer positioned and dimensioned to engage opposite sides of at least one of the rollers to retain the skate in a substantially upright position. The support member optionally has a slot shaped to receive at least one of the rollers of the skate and a retainer adjacent the slot.

Abstract: In-line skates comprise a boot, an inverted longitudinal channel secured to the sole of the boot and rollers rotatably mounted in the channels. The invention comprises a body having two laterally spaced pockets each having side supports dimensioned to engage opposite sides of the skate channel to hold the boots side-by-side and having a hook to hook around one of the rollers (preferably the forward-most roller). The forward ends of the pocket-forming portions are connected by a transverse member to which a carrying handle is attached. A retainer is resiliently attached to the body to apply pressure to the boots to prevent them from popping out of the pockets.
