Abstract
This product display apparatus includes a moveable backing plate arranged to ride on a mounting rod behind product suspended from a parallel display rod, and employs a coil spring bias to urge the backing plate forwardly. The backing plate includes an engaging hook to extend through a slot and to catch onto a locking edge for holding the plate at the rear while the display is loaded. A close tolerance mounting hole on the plate and a narrow slot forming the locking edge constrains an operator to unload packages from the display rod before restocking.
