ABSTRACT:
A security system is provided for a dispensing rack on which cigarette cartons are stacked, the rack having a front face with an opening defined therein, at least one shelf for holding a stack of cartons thereon, and a shield for partially closing the opening to deter theft of the cartons placed on the shelf. The security system includes a corner bracket having an extrusion with an interior side adapted to receive an elongate support and also adapted to receive a lock bar assembly. An elongate support is mounted to the extrusion so as to securely support the shelf and also to pivotally support the shield in a cooperating manner so as to allow the shield to pivotally move between an open position wherein stacks of cartons can be added to the shelf, a first closed position wherein the cartons are protected from theft in-mass but can be removed individually from the bottom of the stack of cartons, and a second closed position wherein articles cannot be removed from the shelf. A lock is integrally-mounted in the corner bracket and is operably connected to a lock bar on the lock assembly so that the lock can actuate the lock bar to lock the shield in the closed position. In one embodiment, the corner bracket includes a slot that is adapted to receive the edge of a pricer graphic, the slot cooperating with a second corner bracket having an opposing slot such that the pricer graphic can be retainably placed into the opposing slots in a fastenerless manner to hold the pricer graphic on the side of the rack.
