  • Patent number: 5984118
    Abstract: An anti-pilfer product display apparatus supports a product package to display the package and inhibit shoplifting. A support member has a cross section which is substantially the same as an orifice formed in the product package. The support member inserts through the orifice to support the package. The support member includes an enlarged cross section portion which prevents the packages from being slid from the end of the support member. The enlarged section is compressible to a configuration wherein the enlarged cross section may be slid through the orifice so that product packages may be removed. The support member also includes an attachment member for attaching to a mounting surface. The support member and the attachment member coact to prevent the support member from being pulled directly from the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 5423436
    Abstract: A product display system is configured to inhibit theft and shoplifting. A product package has an orifice formed therein with a tab extending down through the center top portion of the orifice. The orifice has a lower portion connecting to two side portions. The side portions are configured to extend over a product support member. The product support member has a pair of rods extending substantially parallel with a connecting member at an extended end. The connecting portion of the orifice fits over the connecting member and can pass beyond the connecting member so that the tab extends downward between the rods. Therefore, the package cannot be pulled directly off the end of the support member as the tab engages the cross member. The support member also includes an apparatus for preventing the support member from being pulled from pegboard or other mounting surfaces. The support member includes a second member to prevent the support member from being pivoted to be removed.
