  • Patent number: 6854402
    Abstract: A shelf stores items and provides for organized and attractive display with ease of item access. Conforming to a defined physical environment or variable storage space optimally requires the shelf to provide for both vertical and horizontal adjustment. Here this is accomplished by a pair of legs that are telescopic (to reduce size) and can be locked at a height (vertical adjustment) by use of a pawl, pin, screw or other fastener known in the art. The shelf includes a planar surface that is comprised of a shelf portion, which is supported on each distal end by a leg extension. The leg extensions are mounted to the upper area of the legs. The leg extensions are received by the shelf portion, being movably mounted thereto. This allows for horizontal (width) adjustment. An end cover can be used to provide a flat surface that is consistent with the upper surface of the shelf portion.

  • Patent number: 6820853
    Abstract: A wall hanging device that allows multiple arrangements of displayed items with a single mounting structure reduces damage to the wall while allowing great versatility in the display. The device includes a mounting base that is fixably mounted to a wall or other supportive surface. The mounting base includes a plurality of substantially parallel support pins. At least one hanger cord with one end that is used to attach to a display item, such as a photograph, and the other end received by a support pin. The display item can hang directly under the end that is received by a support pin or be supported by one or more support pills with the end of the hanger cord being received by an adjacent support pin. The combination of multiple horizontal placement of the cord provides a wide variation of horizontal positioning.

  • Patent number: 6796267
    Abstract: Reminders of daily or other periodic tasks are most desirable when they are simple to operate and easily distinguishable. A reusable device that provides tracking of task performance by multiple independently movable arms that lock into position provides a clear visual cue as to use and eliminates potential unintentional movement of the arms. The arms can be pivotally or slidably mounted to a base. The pivotal mounting can include a mechanical hinge or a flexible material providing a living hinge. The lock releasably secures the arms independently in two or more positions indicating to the user the performance of a task such as taking a medication one or more times during a day or other period of time. At the end of the cycle of use, usually one week, the arms may be reset and the device used again. The device may be small enough and include a fastener to mount it to a pill bottle, specific to what is in need of reminding the user.
