Item display system

Abstract

An item display system is disclosed that comprises a first component fixable to a support structure, the first component including a plurality of upwardly extending elongate members, and at least one second component engageable with an item to be displayed. Each second component includes a sleeve configured such that the sleeve is engageable with and disengageable from one of the elongate members.

1 . An item display system comprising:
 a first component fixable to a support structure, the first component including a plurality of upwardly extending elongate members; and   at least one second component engageable with an item to be displayed, each second component including a sleeve configured such that the sleeve is engageable with and disengageable from one of the elongate members.   
     
     
         2 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each elongate member is an elongate pin. 
     
     
         3 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first component is configured such that when the first component is fixed to the support structure during use, the elongate members are spaced from the support structure at a defined spacing from the support structure. 
     
     
         4 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elongate members and sleeves are configured such that when a sleeve engages with an elongate member, the sleeve is rotatable relative to the elongate member and thereby the item is pivotable relative to the first component. 
     
     
         5 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein transverse cross-sections of the sleeves and elongate members are complimentary and circular. 
     
     
         6 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein transverse cross-sections of the sleeves and elongate members are complimentary and polygonal such that one or more possible relative positions are defined between an elongate member and engaged sleeve. 
     
     
         7 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the item is a skateboard deck and/or a skateboard deck with at least one attached truck. 
     
     
         8 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second component includes an attachment portion arranged to facilitate attachment of the second component to the item, and a spacing member extending between the attachment portion and the second engagement portion, whereby when the second component is engaged with the first component, the item is disposable at a location spaced from the first component. 
     
     
         9 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the attachment portion includes at least one aperture arranged to facilitate connection of the second component to the item. 
     
     
         10 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the attachment portion is configured so as to be engageable with and disengageable from the item. 
     
     
         11 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the attachment portion comprises at least one projection. 
     
     
         12 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the attachment portion comprises two spaced projections configured to engage with a skateboard truck. 
     
     
         13 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second component includes an attachment adapter attachable to the attachment portion and arranged such that when the attachment adapter is attached to the attachment portion, the attachment adapter is able to engage with and disengage from the item. 
     
     
         14 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the attachment adapter includes at least one projection. 
     
     
         15 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the attachment adapter includes two spaced projections configured to engage with a skateboard truck. 
     
     
         16 . The item display system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first component is formed of stronger material than the second component.
