Display stand

A product display stand for reducing displayed product movement can be used in a retail environment to reduce movement of a product displayed by the product display stand. Such product display stand includes a damping assembly configured to attach to a display platform. The damping assembly includes a housing configured to attach to the display platform. The housing defines a damping chamber. The assembly also includes within the chamber a damping flange and damping material. The product display stand also includes a display post fixed to the damping flange. The display post extends above the display platform and to retain and display a product.

Systems disclosed herein are directed to a display stand unit for a retail environment. The display stand unit includes a base having an interior and a display stand. The display stand includes a stem that connects to and extends upwardly from the base and a receiving surface that is suspended above and spaced away from the base by the stem. The receiving surface is configured to releasably hold an electronic device above and spaced away from the base. The display stand unit further includes a security cable that extends out from the base. The security cable is configured to attach to the electronic device to movably secure the electronic device to the base. The display stand unit further includes a retractor disposed within the interior of the base and connected to the security cable. The retractor automatically retracts the security cable.

Display stand unit

A product-display system for displaying and securing a retail product. The system may include a retainer having a retainer bracket and a retainer body coupled to the retainer bracket. A retaining cable may be coupled to the retainer body at an opening in the retainer body. A fastener that may be unfastened to release the product from the retainer may only be accessed through the opening of the retainer body such that when the retaining cable is coupled to the opening, no fasteners of the retainer may be visible or accessible. The system may also include a display stem for holding the retainer and product. The display stem may include a recess for receiving at least a portion of the retainer body. The retaining cable may extend through the display stem and may simultaneously transmit power and data to a displayed product. The retainer may be returned to and held on top of the display stem using a retaining cable. The retainer may be oriented on top of the display stem in one or more predetermined positions through the use of magnetic forces.

Headsets with non-occluding earbuds are disclosed. The earbud includes a non-occluding housing having a directional sound port offset with respect to a center axis of the earbud. The housing can have an asymmetric shape amenable to in-the-ear retention. Additionally, the housing can have a seamless or nearly seamless construction even though two or more parts are joined together to form the housing. Front and back volumes can exist for a driver of the earbud, and embodiments of this invention use mid-mold and rear-mold structures to achieve desired performance from the earbud. For example, the mid-mold structure can be used to tune the front volume while the rear-mold structure can be used to tune the back volume. Apertures may also be included in the housing to further improve the performance of the earbud.

Methods and apparatus for using an insert molding process to form a tactilely seamless overall part from component parts that are made from different materials are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a housing includes a first part formed from a first material and a second part formed from a second material that is of a different type than the first material. The first part includes a first external surface and a first bonding surface, and the second part includes a second external surface and a second bonding surface. The second bonding surface can be integrally bonded to the first bonding surface so that the first external surface and the second external surface form a gap-free overall surface.

A holder attachable to a golf cart for holding a scorecard protected from the rain, a timepiece, and/or a beverage container such as a can or a cup. The holder includes a generally planar panel and a cover pivotally attached to the panel. The cover has an outer surface provided with a pair of resilient clips which define a first location for holding a scorecard. The panel has a top surface provided with a pair of resilient clips which define a second location for securing the scorecard. The cover is pivotal between a closed position covering the second location for holding and protecting the scorecard during rain and an open position for recording a score on the scorecard.

Golf accessory holder attachable to a golf cart for holding a scorecard,

A holder for conveniently holding an open beverage container, a scorecard, golf balls, golf tees and a pencil. The holder comprises a generally rectangular panel having a top surface and a bottom surface. Attached to a bottom surface of the panel are two generally parallel and spaced-apart downwardly depending legs for attaching therebetween to an upper member of a golf cart so that a first and a second portion of the panel extends to opposite sides of the upper member of the golf cart. A well having an open end opens onto a top surface of the second portion of the panel for receiving a beverage container therein. The well includes a bottom flange and a cylindrical sidewall. The bottom flange lies within a plane disposed at an angle to the top surface to support the bottom of a beverage container in a stable Vertical orientation when the panel is attached to a golf cart. A pair of resilient clip members attach to the first portion of the top surface of the panel to hold a scorecard. Two sets of spaced-apart downwardly depending elongated curved members attached to the bottom surface of the panel to hold a pair of golf balls. A cylindrical sleeve extending through the panel includes an axial bore for releasably holding a pencil therein. Three sets of spaced-apart upwardly extending elongated curved members attached to the top surface of the panel to hold three golf tees.
