ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a merchandise hook for the display of carded and/or bagged merchandise having highly desirable safety features and being highly compatible with computerized inventory management under the Universal Product Code system. The merchandise hook is formed of a single, continuous wire-like element and includes upper and lower outwardly extending arms. The upper arm is a safety arm and has, at its outer extremity, a downwardly extending guard means, which may in part comprise an integral, downwardly extending portion of the wire. The lower portion of the display hook comprises a merchandise supporting arm, which terminates at least slightly inward of the guard means carried by the upper arm. Typically and desirably, the merchandise supporting arm will terminate in an upwardly inclined end portion, so that the end extremity of the lower wire is located behind and, in some cases, just slightly below the guard means depending from the upper arm. A removable attachment is carried by the safety arm, at its forward extremity, and forms a plate-like label holder. The label holder serves in part to guard and protect the forward extremity of the merchandise hook and also and perhaps more 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.
