Patent number: 11559148Abstract: A retail display system is provided with a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle. A first and a second plurality of mirror panes are oriented within the display unit, which are formed from different material compositions. A mirror display assembly is provided with samples from the first and second pluralities of mirror panes to visually demonstrate the material composition difference between the first plurality of mirror panes and the second plurality of mirror panes. The mirror display assembly is provided with a support with a base. An image surface is mounted upon the base. A first sample mirror pane is mounted to the support and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface. A second sample mirror pane is mounted to the support and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: LIBERTY HARDWARE MFG. CORP.Inventors: Ryan Patrick Martin, Jeffrey John Mathison, Earl David Forrest

Patent number: 11452390Abstract: A planar display assembly is provided with a planar display pane in a frame with apertures formed about a periphery. Base members have a post received within the apertures. A retaining wall with ratchet teeth extends from each base member. Latch members with a hoop portion with a slot receive each retaining wall for adjustment in a direction toward the frame to accommodate display panes of varying thicknesses. A tooth is formed in each latch member to engage the ratchet teeth for adjustment. A release tab is provided on each latch member for manual release of the tooth from the ratchet teeth. A flexible arm extends from each latch members to engage and retain the planar display pane within the frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: LIBERTY HARDWARE MFG. CORP.Inventors: Earl David Forrest, Ryan Patrick Martin, James Allen Austin, III

Patent number: 11390439Abstract: A hardware packaging assembly and method are provided. A hardware component has a front appearance surface and a back mounting surface. A package backing has a forward receiving surface to receive the back mounting surface of the hardware component. A retention feature protrudes from the package backing to engage the hardware component with an interference fit. The retention feature retains the hardware component on the package backing while maintaining the front appearance surface exposed.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: LIBERTY HARDWARE MFG.

Patent number: 11117779Abstract: A paper roll support assembly is provided with a collapsible spindle with distal ends to be received in a pair of bracket receptacles. Product packaging is sized to receive the collapsible spindle only in a collapsed state of the spindle to minimize an overall size. The collapsible spindle is provided with an outer spindle member, an open end spaced apart from the distal end, and a cavity formed therein with a first diameter. An inner spindle member is provided with a proximal end spaced apart from the distal end with an outer diameter sized to be received within the cavity for translation and rotation relative to the outer spindle. A first retainer is oriented in the cavity in cooperation with a second retainer oriented on the inner spindle member such that extension is prevented in a first rotational orientation and extension is permitted in a second rotational orientation.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: LIBERTY HARDWARE MFG.
