The rotatable security member includes a polygonal head and a shank extending from the head. The shank has a least one flange extending radially from a free end thereof and a toothed periphery defined in an outer periphery thereof near the flange such that the rotatable security member is rotatably inserted into the second hole with the toothed periphery being engaged with the toothed inner periphery.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a display pack which has a rotatable security member disposed thereto which is cooperated with a ratchet tool such that the ratchet tool can be operated within a
limit
limited
angle.
It is another object of the present invention to provide
a
display pack having a rotatable security member disposed thereto so as to prevent the tool engaged with the rotatable security member from being taken away from the display pack without permission.
