ABSTRACT:
A merchandise display system includes a support structure; at least one display bar mounted substantially vertically on the support structure and a plurality of merchandise holders or enclosures disposed in a column along the display bar. Each enclosure includes an end portion having a bore for receiving the display bar and a display portion extending from the end portion and having a bottom panel, side walls and an open upper end. Each holder or enclosure further includes a retaining member configured to engage an adjacent enclosure in the column and permit alignment of the enclosures. The retaining member may be a peripheral flange extending around the bottom of the enclosure, permitting nesting of enclosures in the column. Each enclosure is pivotable about the display bar between a first position wherein the enclosure is aligned with at least one adjacent enclosure, thereby preventing removal of merchandise, and a second position wherein the enclosure is angularly displaced with respect to at least one adjacent enclosure, thereby permitting removal of merchandise. When the retaining member is a peripheral flange, an enclosure is vertically displaced along the display bar before being pivoted to its second position. A locking assembly may be provided to prevent displacement of enclosures along the display bar.
