  • Patent number: 8793846
    Abstract: A system for removably securing a component to a base. The system includes a plurality of attachment means, each having a first attachment mechanism fixedly secured to the base, and a second attachment mechanisms fixedly secured to the component. Each of the first attachment mechanisms is configured to correspond to, and engage with, one of the second attachment mechanisms to securely fasten the component to the base. The plurality of first attachment mechanisms and the plurality of second attachment mechanisms are configured such that a gap is formed between the component and the base, and a void is formed between the plurality of attachment means when the attachment mechanisms are engaged, to create a leverage point directly above the void that allows the attachment mechanisms to at least partially disengage and the component to be removed from the base when a force is applied to the leverage point.

  • Patent number: 7306096
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a packaging and display system for a wristwatch. The system includes a support panel, a wristwatch and an accessory, the accessory being capable of augmenting the appearance and enjoyment of the watch. The support panel has a front surface that defines several display locations. A first display location releasably supports a wristwatch in a manner such that a wristband associated with the wristwatch is maintained in a supine position. A second display location releasably supports an accessory, the accessory being adapted and configured to be releasably mounted on a wristband. The front surface also defines indicia for aligning the wristwatch to the first display location and for aligning the accessory to the second display location.
