ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a display hook featuring a novel display system highly compatible with computerized inventory management under the Universal Product Code System. The display system provides labeling or product information in an easily accessible location, while allowing the labeling to be readily replaced and securely mounted at the same time. The display hook may also be used to display carded and/or bagged merchandise, with highly desirable safety features. The display hook is formed of a single, continuous wire-like element in an outwardly extending arm, carrying at its outer extremity a display element. This display element can hold labels of any desired size economically. A preferred embodiment of the display element is a mounting means, preferably a mounting plate, carried by the arm, at its forward extremity, upon which an attachment is mounted to form a plate-like label holder. The label holder serves importantly to provide for the display, at the forwardmost extremity of the unit, for easy scanning by computer input equipment, of a Universal Product Code label specific to the merchandise on display at the hanger. The mounting plate may be ribbed to hold the label holder tightly but slidably and the label holder in turn may be ribbed to hold a flexible, removable label securely. The label holder can also act as a guard means when the wire-like element is used in association with a lower outwardly extending merchandise supporting arm.
