Abstract
A display system and method for displaying a product is disclosed. The system may include a display stem and a retainer for holding the product. The retainer may include a bracket and a retainer body having a substantially smooth surface. The display stem may include a recess for receiving at least a portion of the retainer body. The retainer may be oriented on top of the display stem in one or more predetermined positions through the use of magnetic forces. The retainer may be returned to and held on top of the display stem using a retaining cable. The retainer body and recess may include charging contacts for delivering power to a product held by the retainer when the retainer body is received within the recess.

10. A display system for displaying a product, the system comprising:
-
a retainer for retaining the product, the retainer comprising; a retainer body having at least one first magnet coupled thereto; and a bracket attached to the retainer body, the bracket comprising at least two bracket arms configured to extend around opposing sides of the product; and a display stem defining a recess at a proximal end thereof, the recess defining an opening and least one second magnet disposed adjacent to the opening, wherein the at least one first magnet is configured to cause rotation of the retainer body to a predefined orientation when at least a portion of the retainer body is disposed within the recess of the display stem, if the retainer body is not in the predefined orientation, and wherein the at least one first magnet is configured to cause the rotation by magnetic attraction to the at least one second magnet. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 16, 17)
