Mounting plate for display hook

A merchandise display hook provided with an improved form of pivoting label holder. A label support arm extends above a merchandise display arm and has a transversely disposed cross bar secured to an upper surface portion thereof. The cross bar provides a pivotal mount for a plastic label holding device, optionally with the end extremity of the label support serving as an abutment stop to limit rearward pivoting movement of the label holder. The label holder has a U-shaped retaining clip portion with a slot sized to accommodate the label support arm during pivotal movement of label holder on the cross bar. The slot is tapered such that the open end thereof is wider than an intermediate portion to prevent contact with the label support arm during downward rotation. The tapered slot can be formed by directing a triangular or trapezoidal-shaped tool through the retaining clip portion parallel to the panel of the label holder.

Merchandise display hook with pivoting label holder

A merchandise display hook is provided with an adaptor for adjusting the at-rest, supported viewing angle of a pivoting label holder. The adaptor mounts to the end of the label support arm and contacts the back panel of the labelholder to alter the at-rest viewing angle. In one embodiment, the adaptor has a slidable gripping portion for slidable mounting on the label support arm and an abutment section for contacting the back panel of the label holder. In another embodiment, the adaptor mounts on the cross bar of the label holder arm and has an alternate cross bar for pivotal support of the label holder. The adaptor is configured to alter the at-rest viewing angle of the label holder.
