Abstract: A mattress display unit includes a housing with a plurality of carriages mounted on rollers that are slidable into and out of the housing, and a platform for each carriage adapted to support a bed spring or mattress, wherein the platform further includes gas springs to allow the platform to move from a vertical position to a horizontal position with the application of relatively little external force.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to shelving systems include a frame and one or more translatable shelves. The shelves are supported on rails and are horizontally translatable from a rearward position to a forward position. When adjacent shelves are respectively most rearward and most forward, certain shelf and frame structural cooperation enhance shelf access and shelf removability. Provided a single shelving kit, certain shelf configuration may be customized for particular end uses.

Abstract: A support base for a training aid assembly includes opposing longitudinal support bars and first and second raised lips that extend between the opposing longitudinal support bars at a opposing end portions of the support base. An intermediate raised member extends between the opposing longitudinal support bars at an intermediate portion of the support base between the opposing end portions.

Abstract: A height adjustability mechanism including a height adjustability mechanism including a spring-biased first lever including a first lever body comprising a first rod hole including a first hole perimeter face pivotally engaged with a guide rail extending through the first rod hole, a spring-biased second lever including a second lever body including a second rod hole including a second hole perimeter face pivotally engaged with the guide rail extending through the second rod hole, wherein the spring bias of the first lever frictionally engages the first hole perimeter face against the guide rail, and wherein the spring bias of the second lever frictionally engages the second hole perimeter face against the guide rail.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination storage and display system, and in particular to a system that is modular, provides high density storage and easy display of mattresses. In one embodiment, the rack has a base frame with several longitudinal rails. Several display frames are also provided (one for each longitudinal rail). The display frames have a translating bar that is movable relative the longitudinal rails. The display frame has a post and an angled support. The angled support holds the mattress in a nearly vertical orientation. A mattress support is pivotally connected to the post. The mattress support has a base, two ears, a leg and a lip. The lip engages a small portion of a side of the mattress. The leg pivotally depends from an ear.

Abstract: A cart for marketing bedding is provided that includes a rack including a plurality of vertical support members and at least one tray positioned between the support members. The tray includes a plurality of compartments. A pillow is disposed in each of the compartments. Each of the pillows has a different configuration. Methods of use are provided.

Abstract: A mattress display is provided. The mattress display includes a base frame built of angle bars for supporting a mattress. A handle mounted to the base frame facilitates manipulation via wheels mounted to the frame. Signage can be mounted to the handle.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying a pet bed at a point of sale location is provided including a display unit for displaying a plurality of mattresses having different volumes and differently sized covers corresponding to the different volume mattresses. The mattresses are preferably displayed at the point of sale location restrained in a compressed state having a reduced volume compared to the expanded state, which preferably reduces the amount of space occupied for the display unit. Furthermore, the variety of sizes of the mattresses and designs of the covers can facilitate a user personalizing the pet bed according to the user's preferences.

Abstract: A rack stores various types of pool floats. One type of rack has a top section with spaced apart parallel bars. The bars are separated from each other by slots. The top section is supported above the ground by legs. Mattress type pool floats are received by the slots, with the headrests being located on top of the top section and the body of the mattress being located below. The rack is also ideally suited for auxiliary racks, which can hold chairs and other types of pool floats. The auxiliary racks have at least two spaced apart support bars, which may be at different heights. The auxiliary rack can be located to one side of the mattress rack. The auxiliary rack can hold one or two chairs or other types of floats. In addition, standoffs are provided at the top of the racks, so that a cover may be positioned over the rack.

Abstract: An apparatus for temporarily storing manufactured items, particularly mattresses, comprising: a framework for supporting a plurality of horizontal and superimposed frames for supporting the mattresses to be stored, the framework being provided with guides for guiding the frames vertically; an actuation system for individually actuating the frames between a lowered position, in which they are mutually close so as to form a stack, and a raised position, in which they are mutually spaced by an extent which is greater than the height of the individual mattresses; a platform for receiving a mattress which lies above the upper frame of the stack; transfer elements for individually transferring and positioning the mattresses on the receiving platform and for individually removing the mattresses from the receiving platform, the transfer elements being synchronized with the actuation system for actuating the frames so that during the storage of the mattresses the upper frame of the stack is raised until the mattress i

Abstract: Apparatus for the display and storage of mattresses, especially one which utilizes available space to optimum advantage, minimizes storage space, and facilitates ready removal of mattress from storage for display. The apparatus is constituted generally of a housing, inclusive of floor frame, supports, and ceiling frame providing mattress display and storage areas. Mattress display and storage carriages are suspended from and mounted on overhead tracks affixed to the ceiling, these traversing both the storage and display areas. Mattresses contained within said mattress display and storage carriages can be stored in tandem within the storage area to minimize storage space, independently transported into the display area, and mattresses unloaded for display. Suitably, a floor-attached rail within the storage area provides a ready and convenient means for the transport of a box spring upon which mattresses can be discharged from the display and storage carriages and laid out for viewing.

Abstract: Apparatus for carrying a mattress using a horizontal rectangular open frame adjustable in width and length. A plurality of parallel U shaped members are used. Each member is secured at each end to a corresponding side of the frame, extends downward therefrom and then extends transversely between the sides of the frame. A horizontal platform is supported on vertical wheels. The top of the platform carries manually operable clips detachably securable to the transversely extending sections of the members. Alternatively, casters may be detachably secured to the bottoms of the members.
