ABSTRACT:
The merchandising system includes an upright store fixture and at least one hanger arm coupled with the upright store fixture. The hanger arm has (i) a gravity slide portion extending forwardly and angularly downward from a location on the front side of the upright store fixture, (ii) a stop member disposed on the gravity slide portion near the lower end thereof, (iii) a front portion extending forwardly from the lower end of the gravity slide portion, and (iv) a support device at the forward end of the front portion. At least one product/clip combination is suspended from the hanger arm. The product/clip combination comprises a product (e.g., a baseball or softball glove or mitt) and a clip releasably engaging a predetermined portion of the product. The clip has a hook configured to releasably engage the hanger arm at any location rearward of the support device and to suspend the product/clip combination therefrom. The hook and the gravity slide portion of the hanger arm are configured to enable a product/clip combination suspended from the hanger arm to slide downward along the gravity slide portion under the influence of gravity when the hook engages the gravity slide portion. Each product/clip combination is removable from the hanger arm by moving the clip laterally relative to the hanger arm thereby to unhook the product/clip combination from the hanger arm.
