Abstract
A merchandise display hook for mounting on an apertured display panel having a wire-like element with a vertical base portion. Upper and lower parallel, spaced-apart cross bars are fixed perpendicular to the base portion and a back plate having lug portions adapted to be inserted into the apertured display panel is pivotally connected to the upper cross bar. The back plate is adapted to lockingly engage the lower cross bar whereby pivoting the back plate allows the straight-in entry of the merchandise display hook and the locking engagement of the back plate to the lower cross bar prevents the rotation of the back plate when under load and provides for the transfer and distribution of forces from the base portion to the back plate.
