Abstract: A theft-detection wafer attachment system that increases the tamper-resistance of theft-detection wafers used in the retail apparel industry includes a disc-like theft-detection wafer of the type having a central projection for receiving a tack-like fastener and a concentric ridge that surrounded the projection. A shield member is mounted over the projection and includes a counterbore for receiving a tack-like fastener. The outside diameter of the shield member is less than the diameter of the concentric ridge to eliminate the opportunity to use the ridge as a fulcrum for prying the secured fastener from the wafer. Additionally, the counterbore receives the head of the fastener to deny access to the fastener head with a prying tool. The exposed portions of the shield member are preferably formed with tapered surface to prevent gripping with conventional gripping tools.

Abstract: A rack for storing clothes hangers having a single neck portion and two shoulder portions wherein the rack comprises a base and a plurality of elongated posts extending upwardly and perpendicular to the upper surface of the base, two of the posts are spaced apart in the same plane to engage each side edge of the neck portion of the hanger, a third post is spaced outwardly from the plane embracing the first two mentioned posts and positioned centrally therebetween to engage the under edge of the neck portion of the hanger and a pair of spaced posts positioned in a plane parallel with the first mentioned plane and spaced outwardly from the third post adapted to engage the under side of the two shoulder portions of the hanger.
