Hanger designed with a built in apparatus which allows it to be placed on a rod from bottom side of rod. Enabling this feature is an apparatus built in the top section of hanger frame. Apparatus built with two rotating semi-circulars, forming a circle when closed, appears like a disc. When hanger is pushed upward against rod, semi-circulars will open and reclose on rod, keeping hanger suspended, allowing it to glide. The instant apparatus will allow hanger to be suspended very close to rod, and will eliminate the old fashion open end hook of prior art.

A hook for use in a hanger is disclosed. The hook has a suspension portion for suspending it, and the hanger, from a rail. There is also an insert portion which is inserted into the body of a hanger. The insert portion has retainers, such as barbs, for fixing the insert into the hanger body. The suspension portion and insert portion have respective connectors which engage one another to connect these two components together whilst allowing the suspension portion to rotate relative to the insert portion and the hanger body, preferably with a known torque resistance.

A product management system includes a product management apparatus, a product wireless tag provided on the product and into which a product identifier indicating the product is written, a tool wireless tag provided on a holding tool for holding the product and into which a tool identifier indicating the holding tool is written, a display zone communication apparatus provided in a display zone in which at least one set of the product and the holding tool is disposed and having a wireless tag reader for reading the product identifier from the product wireless tag and reading the tool identifier from the tool wireless tag. The display zone communication apparatus transmits both the product identifier and the tool identifier read by the wireless tag reader to the product management apparatus. The product management apparatus links the holding tool and the product held by the holding tool with each other.

The present disclosure provides adhesive mounting articles that can be removed from surfaces without damage by having reduced contribution of a hardgood to the peel force generated by the adhesive article during removal. In some instances, this can be accomplished by a hardgood that is flexible in a peel direction and rigid in a weight hanging direction. Such hardgoods may include a plurality of minimally connected body segments arranged about the transverse axis of the hardgood body.
