Abstract:

A merchandise display strip includes an elongated plastic strip having a mounting portion and an article suspending portion. The article suspending portion includes a first panel, a second panel, and fingers on each of the panels for suspending an article from a respective one of the first and second panels. A fold line separates the first and second panels and enables these panels to be folded in relation to each other so that at least two articles can be supported by the article suspending portion, one from each of the two panels. A third panel is provided on the article suspending portion such that it is interposed between the first and second panels and the mounting portion. The mounting portion enables the merchandise display strip to be supported from a pricing channel, a shelf, or a hook. If desired, the first and second panels can be secured to each other by adhesive, by fasteners or by inter-engaging tabs.

Abstract:

A display for point of purchase items or packages includes a panel such as cardboard with one or more vertical rectangular slots with display hooks for supporting such items or packages mounted on the panel in the slots. The display hooks include front and rear rectangular mounting plates interconnected by a short narrow projection. The rear plate is somewhat thinner than the front plate and extends upwardly from the projection at a slight angle toward the front plate but above the front plate and forms a pad which extends generally parallel to the front plate. The lower end of the rear plate is spaced from the top of the projection slightly less than the width of the slot. Both plates are a width slightly less than the height of the slot. In this manner the hook is inserted by turning it on its side and inserting the top of the rear plate through the slot which springs away from the front plate. When the short projection engages the side of the slot the bottom of the rear plate snaps through the slot.
