System for displaying wheel
A system for displaying a wheel that includes a 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. The outer end of the shelf unit is reinforced against a downward force by a diagonal member from the bottom end of the shelf unit to the outer end of the shelf. 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;
a stabilizer that extends from a lower end of the horizontal shelf to an outer end of the horizontal shelf;
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 tongue is configured to correspond to an outer profile of a wheel rim.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the retainer receiver and the mounting flange collectively define an open-c channel when viewed from above.
