Abstract
A merchandise display hook provided with an improved form of pivoting label holder. A merchandise supporting arm extends below and terminates forwardly of a label supporting arm. A cross bar provides a pivot mount for a plastic label holding device, with the end extremity of the merchandise support arm serving as an abutment stop to limit rearward pivoting movement of the label holder. The cross bar can be so positioned as to provide for a normal, slightly upwardly tilted orientation of the label holder, to facilitate viewing. In one embodiment, the cross bar is welded to the shaft of the label support arm. In other embodiments, the label support arm is bent to form a cross bar at right angles to the shaft.
