Abstract: A bottle support for engaging the neck of a bottle and supporting it in a slightly inclined position. An oblique prism has a rectangular base and two sets of parallel sides. A hole penetrates the prism through the sides, generally parallel to two of the sides. The center of gravity of the body lies outside the base and the combined center of gravity of the body and bottle lies above the base.

Abstract: A heater on which a food plate can be supported includes a frame having three arms with holding hooks thereon which grip the food plate and includes, in the center of the frame, a heating candle. A spacing support is provided on the frame and supports a ring provided on an adjacent heater frame during vertical stacking of the heaters. An apertured plate is pivotally supported on the frame. The apertured plate can be swung out of the inner region of the frame, whereby stacking of the heaters is facilitated. The frame also supports a wind-guard member disposed around the candle. A protective member is preferably provided around the apertured plate. A supplemental device can be mounted on the frame to grip plates larger than can be gripped by the holding hooks.

Abstract: A display card comprising a base having the shape of a right triangle with a hypotenuse panel, a horizontal leg panel and a vertical leg panel, said base resting on the horizontal leg panel with the hypotenuse panel facing upwardly and outwardly, a top having the shape of a right triangle with a hypotenuse panel, a horizontal leg panel and a vertical leg panel, the hypotenuse panel facing downwardly and outwardly, a wall joining the top end and base along the vertical leg panels and an orifice in both the top and base hypotenuse panels whereby a product may be secured in the orifices for display and protection purposes.

Abstract: An ice cream cone holder and display apparatus is formed from a conventional two-piece paper cup. The bottom portion of the cup is specially made to include an arcuate flap through which the ice cream cone is extended to support the cone on a counter. The arcuate flap is formed by an interrupted circular cut substantially centrally located in the bottom portion of the cup. One interruption is of a greater size than the other interruptions and functions as a hinge for the arcuate flap.

Abstract: An elongated base-panel of rectangular shape is provided with upright end flanges that are substantially parallel and have round holes in alignment for holding horizontally the cylinder of a grease gun that is secured in place by a cylindrical clamp attached to one end flange adjacent to hole therein, with the hand of the gun extending over the top thereof. Thus, the gun handle can be operated with one hand, while the other hand is free to manipulate a grease fitting to avoid any leakage of grease; and the gun and stand can be moved from place to place as desired.

Abstract: An improved product display card includes a planar back member and two die-cut connected product support members projecting from the back member. Openings in the support members receive the threaded neck of a product container. A screw top threaded onto the neck retains the container on the support members of the display card.

Abstract: A support stand for a high fidelity speaker which comprises a pair of vertical side panels converging toward each other at their front ends where they are connected to each other. The bottom edges of the side panels lie in a horizontal plane which defines the resting surface for the support stand. The upper edges of the side panels are inclined downwardly from front to rear so as to lie in a downwardly and rearwardly slanted plane which defines a rearwardly inclined supporting surface, for the speaker, which is raised above the resting surface for the stand. The upper edges terminate at their rear ends in upstanding edges which define stops for the speaker which is supported on the supporting surface of the stand.

Abstract: A storage holder for firewood and the like including a cradle having arcuate first and second end walls spaced at the lower ends to form an opening. The end walls have secured thereto first and second pairs of legs secured to the lower ends of the end walls. Secured to each of the pairs of legs is an inter-mediate wall the lower end of which is spaced from the lower end of the end wall.A drawer is slidably mounted on the pairs of legs beneath the opening. Secured to the lower ends of the end walls and extending across the opening are a plurality of spaced rods to limit the size of objects that may fall through the opening and into the drawer.

Abstract: A folder for holding a vase upright while it is being transported. The base of the vase is inserted into the device and held within the device during transportation.

Abstract: A display carton for an elongated bottle is formed from a single blank and includes an upper display panel for advertising, and is wrapped about the length of the bottle to completely expose two opposed sides thereof. The carton is manually secured along the base thereof by an arrangement of bendable flanges pivotally connected to an outer base panel in cooperation with locking flanges disposed on an inner base panel. The bendable flanges are disposed perpendicular to the carton base and are generally arcuate in shape resulting in an interference fit between the bendable flanges and the inner surfaces of the carton, thus keeping the flanges in an upright, locked position, for maintaining the carton in a closed condition. The display carton includes apertures for engaging the top and bottom portions of the bottle therein, to prevent lateral shifting of the bottle within the carton, thus affording protection to the bottle during shipment and display.

Abstract: A stove frame adapter for heating articles above a heat container, eg. canned heat, is provided in the form of an annular frame having a plurality of opposed arms which bend upwardly to support an article above the heat container and one or more arms which bend downwardly in close clearance with the container to secure the stove frame adapter to same. The adapter has an opening therein aligned with the opening of the container to admit heat therethrough to the article.

Abstract: A one piece sheet material holder for at least two paper cups of the type used to dispense popcorn and drinks. The sheet material is made of heavy cardboard or plastic having two cup receiving openings spaced apart by a central rib member. The inner peripheries of the openings have inwardly projecting portions to provide minimum engagement with the cups. A portion of the sheet material depends downwardly to provide a central support which serves as a lateral abutment for whichever cup includes the drink to minimize deflection of the platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carton and a one-piece blank for forming it, the carton having a detachable portion defining an article dispensing aperture in one wall and also serving, when cooperating with the bottom of the carton, as a pedestal so as to incline the carton from the vertical so that the articles will always be presented to said aperture.

Abstract: A modular support element comprising a generally rectangular sheet of stiff deformable material having a large opening therein, is formed into a generally cylindrical shape in which the two diametrically opposite corners of the sheet are fastened to each other and means are provided for connecting several of the modular structures together along with a base and device for holding objects to form a wide variety of structures having decorative and functional purposes.

Abstract: This is a collapsible molded plastic trivet device which comprises a pair of integrally molded pivotally connected elongated plastic arms with upstanding spacer blades formed of the ends of and adapted to be collapsed for efficient storage and thereafter expanded into an operative position and including a strengthening bead around the edge portions of said spacer blades thereby achieving minimum contact area with the utensil and permitting maximum exposure area of the cooking utensil with the ambient air as well as providing the required blade strength for the inexpensive molded plastic construction.
