Abstract

A display fixture includes a cross support mounted to a display structure. The cross support includes a cross bar having a plurality of holes extending through at least a top of the cross bar. The holes are spaced apart from each other across a length of the cross bar. The display fixture also includes at least one display hook having three downwardly depending mounting members. The at least display hook is mounted to the cross bar by engaging two of the three downward depending mounting members with two holes in the cross bar.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display hook comprising:
a loop member having a pair of parallel stems that are integrally connected at a free end of the loop member and a pair of parallel prongs, wherein each of the pair of parallel prongs are integrally coupled to and downwardly depend from one of the pair of parallel stems and terminate at mounting ends of the loop member; and
an arm coupled to and located between the stems of the pair of parallel stems of the loop member and including a single stem and a prong, wherein the prong is integrally coupled to and downwardly depends from the single stem of the arm and terminates at a mounting end of the arm;
wherein the single stem of the arm comprises a first bend and a second bend, wherein the first bend and the second bend of the arm define a portion of the single stem of the arm that is spaced a distance above the pair of stems of the loop member.

2. The display hook of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the single stem of the arm is oriented in parallel with the pair of parallel stems of the loop member.

3. The display hook of claim 1 , further comprising a label holder support coupled to the arm at a free end of the arm.

4. The display hook of claim 3 , wherein the label holder support comprises a support member having a first free end, a second free end and first, second and third bends that define four legs, the first leg being defined between the first free end and the first bend, the second leg being defined between the first bend and the second bend, the third leg being defined between the second bend and the third bend, the fourth leg being defined between the third bend and the second free end.

5. The display hook of claim 4 , wherein the support member supports a label holder on one of the first leg, the fourth leg and the first and the second bends.

6. The display hook of claim 1 , wherein the mounting ends of the loop member are distally located a distal distance from the mounting end of the arm.

7. The display hook of claim 1 , wherein the arm is coupled to the loop member by a cross piece.

8. A display hook comprising:
a loop including first and second parallel stems oriented substantially horizontally that are integrally connected at a free end, a first mounting member downwardly depending and substantially vertically oriented from the first stem and a second mounting member downwardly depending and substantially vertically oriented from the second stem, wherein the second downwardly depending mounting member is spaced apart from the first downwardly depending mounting member, is substantially parallel with the first downwardly depending mounting member and is located along a single, vertical plane with the first downwardly depending mounting member; and
an arm including a single stem oriented substantially horizontally and a third mounting member downwardly depending and substantially vertically oriented from the single stem that is spaced apart from the first and second downwardly depending mounting members, is substantially parallel with the first and the second downwardly depending mounting members and is located outside of the single, vertical plane.

9. The display hook of claim 8 , wherein the stem comprises a first bend and a second bend that define a portion of the single stem that is spaced a distance above the pair of parallel stems of the loop member.

10. The display hook of claim 8 , wherein the pair of parallel stems of the loop member are coupled to the single stem by a cross piece.

11. The display hook of claim 8 , wherein the free end of the loop member is bent upwards to receive and hold hanging product.

12. The display hook of claim 8 , further comprising a label holder support coupled to a free end of the arm.

13. A display hook comprising:
a pair of parallel stems that are integrally connected at free ends;
a pair of parallel prongs that are each integrally coupled to and depending downwardly from one of the pair of parallel stems, wherein the pair of parallel prongs are located a distance from the free ends of the pair of parallel stems; and
an arm coupled to and located between the pair of parallel stems and including a prong integrally coupled to and depending downwardly from the arm, wherein the prong of the arm is located a distance from the free ends of the pair of parallel stems that is greater than the distance the pair of parallel prongs are located from the free ends of the pair of parallel stems.

14. The display hook of claim 13 , wherein the arm comprises a first bend and a second bend that define a portion of the arm that is spaced a distance above the pair of parallel stems.

15. The display hook of claim 13 , wherein the pair of parallel stems are coupled to the arm by a cross piece.

16. The display hook of claim 13 , wherein the connected free ends of the pair of parallel stems are bent upwards to receive and hold hanging product.

17. The display hook of claim 13 , further comprising a label holder support coupled to a free end of the arm.

18. The display hook of claim 13 , wherein the pair of parallel prongs are located along a single, vertical plane and the prong integrally coupled to the arm is located outside of the single, vertical plane.
