The hanger comprises a head portion for mounting on a support structure, a lower portion for carrying the items and a stem interconnecting the head portion and the lower portion. The lower portion includes a pair of oppositely extending arms having adjacent connected ends and remote distal ends.

Patent number: 4016977Abstract: An assemblage of sheetlike items for presentation for taking on a one-by-one basis, plus means for supporting it either from a price channel or against a wall. A flat support plate of flexible material includes a head section having a pair of ears formed therein and a base section. The lower edges of the ears are spaced from the upper edge a distance greater than the vertical dimension of a price channel so the ears snap over-center thereinto. The rear surface of the base section carries pressure-sensitive adhesive and a release liner. A pivot links the sheetlike items at a central location on the plate in vertical alignment with the region between the ears. When the head section is uppermost, the ears can be snapped into a price channel to support the items in depending relation therebelow. Rotating the plate so the base section is uppermost permits it to be attached by the adhesive to a vertical surface to stably support the depending items.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1975Date of Patent: April 12, 1977Assignee: The Cooperative Marketing Co.Inventor: Richard G.

Patent number: 3945559Abstract: A holder or the like for presenting an assemblage of items to be taken therefrom on a one-by-one basis including a foldable support sheet that can be attached to differently oriented surfaces. The sheet is composed of a lower main portion and an upper support portion including an attachment section and a connection section. Adhesive on the front surface of the attachment section and the rear surface of the connection section permits the connection section to be secured to the rear surface of the sheet and thus adapted for attachment to a forward-facing surface via the adhesive on said attachment section. The sheet can be folded differently and the holder attached to a pole or to a rearward-facing surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1975Date of Patent: March 23, 1976Assignee: The Cooperative Marketing Co.Inventor: Richard G.
