System for displaying wheels
View Patent ↗A system for displaying a wheel that includes the shelf unit that can be mounted on the wall. The shelf unit includes a shelf upon which an inner perimeter of the wheel may be supported. A retainer clip is inserted into the shelf unit and prevents the wheel from sliding off of the shelf.
1. A system for displaying a wheel comprising:
a shelf unit comprising:
a mounting flange which includes one or more holes configured to receive fasteners used to mount the shelf unit to a substantially vertical surface;
a substantially horizontal shelf mechanically attached to a lower portion of the mounting flange and protruding outward from the mounting flange; and
a retainer receiver disposed vertically along the mounting flange for receiving a retainer clip; and
a retainer clip comprising:
a retainer slide configured to be received by the retainer receiver; and
a tongue mechanically attached to a lower end of the retainer slide and curved outward relative to the mounting flange.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the horizontal shelf curls outward from the lower portion of the mounting flange and upward to form a pliable region for absorbing shock when a wheel is placed upon the horizontal shelf.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the tongue is formed to correspond to an inner profile of a wheel rim.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the retainer receiver includes a c-channel running vertically on either side of the mounting flange.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the retainer clip further comprises a scuff-guard disposed on the tongue.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the retainer clip further comprises a scuff-guard disposed on the tongue, said scuff-guard comprising a pliable coating material.
