    Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a wearable ornament, such as a pin-backed figurine that is supplied with a loop backer enabling the figurine to be coupled with a rope or chain, includes a post for display of the figurine using with the loop backer when not being worn. The figurine on the post may be snapped into a base, the base having a base top and base bottom that are separable from one another. A transparent cover encloses the figurine on the post atop the base, with a backing held in place behind the figurine in the packaging by retention tabs proximate to top corners of the transparent cover, by alignment ridges of the base top and by support posts inside the base bottom. The figurine may therefore be worn either through being pinned or on a rope or chain, or may be displayed either on just the post or on the post atop the base.

  • Publication number: 20200315371
    Abstract: A retail merchandise pusher is configured for sliding along a pusher assembly track. The pusher assembly is mountable to a retail merchandise shelf. The pusher includes a housing, a spring drum rotatably mounted within the housing, and a coil spring mounted to the spring drum. The coil spring is coilable and uncoilable upon rotation of the spring drum. A controller is coupled to a sensor arrangement within the housing. The sensor arrangement has a spring drum sensor for detecting rotation of the spring drum. A direction sensor detects a direction of rotation of the spring drum. An incremental distance sensor detects incremental movement of the pusher. The controller is configured to calculate, based on data from the sensor arrangement, a total distance and direction of travel by the pusher, and to generate an alarm when the pusher travels more than a threshold distance within a predetermined period of time.

  • Publication number: 20200315378
    Abstract: A bedding assembly may comprise a touch layer, a warmth layer, and a decorative layer. The touch layer and warmth layer may functionally correspond to a top sheet and a duvet insert in a conventional bedding system, respectively. The decorative layer is different than conventional duvet covers, since it does not enclose a duvet insert. The layers may be stacked and attached to one another through a series of fasteners that are located largely along the edges of each layer. The upper surface of the touch layer may attach to the lower surface of the warmth layer, and the upper surface of the warmth layer may attach to the lower surface of the decorative layer. A top portion of the touch layer may also fold over the warmth layer and attach to a top portion of the upper surface of the decorative layer.

  • Publication number: 20200315379
    Abstract: Various implementations include an extended repeated-use table cover device. The device includes a roller, a non-silicone mat, an enclosure, a table mount, and a winding mechanism. An outer surface of the roller is coupled to a first mat end such that rotation of the roller about a roller axis causes the mat to wind around the outer surface of the roller. An outer surface of the enclosure defines an opening extending from the outer surface to a cavity defined by an inner surface of the enclosure. The roller is disposed within the cavity, and the mat is extendable through the opening. The cavity is fillable with a cleaning liquid. The winding mechanism is for rotating the roller from an extended position to a retracted position. The mat is durable enough to be used for at least three months under expected standard use without needing to be replaced.
