| 20080203253 | Pusher accessory for product hanging hooks - The invention relates to a pusher accessory that can be assembled with conventional elongated product display hooks configured at one end for anchorage on a supporting panel or board and supporting in suspended fashion along their length a multiplicity of product items for removal from the opposite free end of said hook by a customer. The pusher accessory has a stationary component adapted to be attached in fixed position adjacent the free end of said hook; a movable component mountable on the hook at a point spaced from the stationary component for free sliding movement back and forth along the hook length; and tension spring affixed at one end to the stationary component and carried at the other end by the movable component. When the spring is extended by the separation of the movable component along the hook from the stationary component by intervening product packages suspended from the hook, the spring applies spring tension force to the movable component and intervening packages. As product packages are removed from the free hook end one-by-one by customers, this tension force serves to advance toward the free hook end the movable component and intervening product packages until the leading product package of those packages remaining on the hook reaches the free hook end. Preferably, the spring is a flat coil spring the coil of which is carried by the movable component with its free end attached to the fixed component. Preferably, the fixed component is clampingly engaged in its fixed position adjacent the free end of the hook. | 08-28-2008 |
