A hanging-board-and-hook-member connecting structure includes a body and a hook member. The body is additionally provided with upper and lower elastic portions which are used to abut against the hanging board. The hanging-board-and-hook-member connecting structure has a simple structure and can improve the flexibility and convenience of disassembly and assembly, and can be mounted on hanging boards of different thicknesses. The disassembling and assembling process causes no deformation and fracture, making the assembling and disassembling easier without damaging the surface of the components. Besides, both the upper and lower elastic portions have elasticity, which allows for easy disassembling of the upper elastic portion and adjustment of the lower elastic portion.

An anti-sweep mechanism for controlling removal of merchandise items from a forward dispensing end of a merchandise display hook the anti-sweep mechanism comprising a body having a first blocking portion and a second blocking portion, the body being rotatable between a first position and a second position wherein when the body is in the first position, the first blocking portion blocks forward movement towards the forward dispending end of merchandise items, and when the body is in the second position, the second blocking portion blocks forward movement of merchandize items behind a second blocking location that is spaced behind the first blocking location.

According to the invention, objects are clamped between damping sleeves (11, 51), which are each fastened around a carrier (12, 52), wherein multiple composite bodies (5, 10) are aligned in relation to one another so that the carriers (12, 52) thereof are arranged in parallel each having the end thereof protruding out of the sleeve (11, 51) held in holes (21) of a plate (2), in particular locked with the plate in a formfitting or friction-locked manner. Preferably, plates (2) are lockable on one another in a formfitting manner using sliding parts to form a plate layer (20) or the composite bodies (5, 10) are components connected to one another by material bonding. Plates (2) and carriers (12, 52) of composite bodies (5, 10) are molded by means of injection molding so that the carriers (12, 52) fit with one end in the plates (2) and are lockable using this end in a formfitting or friction-locked manner with the plates. Connecting webs (3, 4) and plates (2) are preferably formed so that the plates (2) are lockable with the connecting webs (3, 4) to form a plate layer (20).

A magnetic tool holder has a frame for maintaining magnetic panels in position. Each of the magnetic panels has an upper surface for magnetic attachment and longitudinal sides defining longitudinal stepped edges. The longitudinal members of the frame have a longitudinal lip which cooperates with a stepped edge of the magnetic panels. A base member is attached to the frame and supports the magnetic panels keeping the top surfaces of the panels exposed for attachment.

A pegboard hanger assembly is provided for mounting on a pegboard surface. The pegboard includes a first hole formed therethrough. The pegboard hanger assembly includes: a hanger including a hanger base and a pin projecting from a rear surface thereof, the pin including flanged end and a grommet locatable on the at least one hole formed through the pegboard surface, the grommet including a passage formed therethrough and an inwardly projecting shoulder formed within the passage of the grommet. The pin projecting from the hanger is insertable through the passage of the grommet and the flanged end of the pin is insertable through the shoulder of the passage of the grommet when the grommet is located on the at least one hole formed through the pegboard surface to secure the hanger on the pegboard surface.

A product display belt for a product display assembly may comprise a flexible strip having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end and a back end; a plurality of hinges mounted to the bottom surface of the flexible strip to form a linear array of separated hinges extending from the front end towards the back end of the flexible strip; and a plurality of flaps, each flap having a front facing surface, a back facing surface, and a top surface, each flap mounted to an associated hinge of the plurality of hinges at the back facing surface below the top surface of the flap such that the flap has a free top end and extends downwardly away from the bottom surface of the flexible strip. Other product display belts and product display assemblies comprising the belts are provided.

A magnetic tool holder has a frame for maintaining magnetic panels in position. Each of the magnetic panels has an upper surface for magnetic attachment and longitudinal sides defining longitudinal stepped edges. The longitudinal members of the frame have a longitudinal lip which cooperates with a stepped edge of the magnetic panels. A base member is attached to the frame and supports the magnetic panels keeping the top surfaces of the panels exposed for attachment.

A display fixture includes a magnetic focal wall and an auxiliary support member. The magnetic focal wall includes a magnetic panel, which is substantially planar, and a perforated panel, which is substantially planar and defines a plurality of perforations. The magnetic panel defines a front surface. The perforated panel is coupled with the magnetic panel such that the perforated panel extends in a substantially parallel plane with and in front of the magnetic panel. The auxiliary support member is configured to support a product thereon away from the magnetic focal wall and includes a magnet on a rear side thereof sized to fit within any one of the plurality of perforations such that the magnet of the auxiliary member is magnetically coupled with the magnetic panel through one of the plurality of perforations and the auxiliary support member extends forwardly from the perforated panel supported by the magnetic focal wall.

An anti-sweep mechanism for controlling removal of merchandise items from a forward dispensing end of a merchandise display rod, the anti-sweep mechanism comprising a body having a first blocking portion and a second blocking portion, the body being rotatable between a first position and a second position wherein when the body is in the first position, the first blocking portion blocks forward movement towards the forward dispending end of merchandise items located on the merchandise display rod behind a first blocking location, and the second blocking portion is rotated away from the merchandise display rod to not interfere with movement of merchandise items along the merchandise display rod; and when the body is in the second position, the first blocking portion is rotated away from the merchandise display rod to not interfere with movement of merchandise items along the merchandise display rod, and the second blocking portion blocks forward movement of merchandize items located on the merchandise display rod behind a second blocking location that is spaced behind the first blocking location.
