Abstract: A countertop mounting base and bracket for a napkin dispenser includes a base with a generally planar upper surface provided with a sidewall having a stepped locking recess adapted to cooperate with a stepped tongue of a mounting bracket which is secured directly to the counter. The base and bracket allow for the quick release of a gravity feed napkin dispenser, for example, mounted on the countertop.

Abstract: A short, crescent-shaped copy stand engages the bottom edges of sheets and holds the sheets upright. The stand includes a back and an integrally formed, relatively small front block. The back has a downwardly and forwardly sloping concave sheet backing wall, a substantially horizontal top wall and a stepped front wall. A ledge or step extends forward from the lower edge of the sheet backing wall. The ledge slopes downward and inward from the its outer edges. The backing is concavely curved about a slightly rearward sloping axis, and the ledge concavely curves or slopes slightly upward and outward along the backing wall. The block is integrally formed with the backing wall and ledge at the approximate center of the backing wall. The block has a curved, generally vertical rearward wall that extends upward from a center of the ledge. The backing and the rearward facing wall of the block define sides of a slot for receiving centers of sheet bottom edges.

Abstract: Image displays are provided with mechanical and optical features that permit them to be easily configured for a variety of different display modes for a variety of aesthetic or commercial environments while having the capability of displaying multiple images in any of the available modes. The inventive displays are an alternative to and improvement over other methods such as standard picture frames (wood, plastic, metal), pins, buttons, badges, or cards (i.e., baseball cards, souvenirs, etc.).

Abstract: A CD package is provided, including a pivotable CD holder and a foldable cardboard cover. The holder includes a square central panel and two side, substantially rectangular profile "flip" panels each with a substantially semicircular cutout corresponding to half of a CD. The cover includes four portions separated by strips, each portion foldable relative to each other, and a plurality of cutouts to temporarily receive projections formed on the underside of the holder. The cover is slidably received within clasps, also formed on the underside of the holder. The flip panels are pivoted, coplanar to the central panel to create a retail configuration, with two portions of the cover extending over each of the front and back, respectively, of the holder. The cover and holder are then shrink wrapped together. This retail configuration forms a rigid "long box" since the holder spans cover strips. The consumer removes the shrink wrap, unfolds the cover and removes the CD.
