Security system for portable consumer article

In combination:

• a) a portable consumer article having a U-shaped portion;
• and
• b) a security system comprising:
• a frame having a top and bottom, a mounting end, an end opposite the mounting end, and laterally spaced sides;
• and
• a closure assembly having at least a portion mounted to the frame for guided movement relative to the frame between a loading position, wherein the security system is in a loading state, and a securing position, wherein the security system is in a secured stated,
• the frame, closure assembly, and portable consumer article configured so that:
• i) with the security system in the loading state the U-shaped portion and the frame can be relatively moved to cause the opposite end of the frame to be directed through the U-shaped portion whereupon the portable consumer article assumes a display position wherein the U-shaped portion is inverted and straddles a part of the frame between the mounting and opposite frame ends;
• and ii) with the portable consumer article in the display position and the security system changed from the loading state into the secured state the frame and closure assembly cooperatively prevent the portable consumer article from being separated from the security system by causing the U-shaped portion to be advanced relative to the security system in a direction from the mounting end of the frame towards the opposite end of the frame,
• wherein at least a part of the portion of the closure assembly moves in a generally side-to-side path relative to the frame into overlying relationship with the frame as viewed from the top of the frame as an incident of the portion of the closure assembly moving from the loading position into the securing position.
