Abstract: A merchandising hanger has a planar surface adapted to receive printed indicia thereon and characterized by having a top and a base. The top of the planar surface is formed as a hook, cutout, or hole so as to allow the merchandising hanger to be suspended from a conventional merchandising rack. A tab extends from the base of the planar surface and includes a stud integral with the tab and a stud-receiving aperture in another portion of the tab. The aperture has a flange associated therewith. Intermediate between the stud and the aperture is a tab portion having a thickness less than the tab portion proximal to the planar surface. The relative thicknesses of tab portions and the interaction between the stud and complementary aperture afford a theft deterrent without compromising the merchandising function.

Abstract: A magnetic tape clamping device comprises an upper band portion, legs formed at both ends of the upper band portion and an elastically deformable lower band portion connecting the lower ends of the legs and being adapted to be fitted into a recess formed in a reel hub to clamp the end of a magnetic tape. The lower band portion of the magnetic tape clamping device is so formed that the thickness of both edge portions is smaller than that of the central portion.
