Gravity fed merchandising system

A product merchandising system comprising:

• an upright store fixture and a plurality of hanger arms coupled with said upright store fixture;
• said upright store fixture having a front side;
• each hanger arm having
• (i) a gravity slide portion extending forwardly and angularly downward from a location on the front side of the upright store fixture,
• (ii) a front portion extending forwardly from the lower end of the gravity slide portion, and
• (iii) a support device at the forward end of said front portion;
• at least one product/clip combination suspended from each hanger arm, said product/clip combination comprising a product and a clip releasably engaging a predetermined portion of said product, said clip having a hook configured to releasably engage said hanger arm at any location rearward of said support device and to suspend the product/clip combination therefrom;
• said hook and said gravity slide portion of each hanger arm being configured to enable a product/clip combination suspended from said hanger arm to slide downward along said gravity slide portion under the influence of gravity when said hook engages said gravity slide portion, each product/clip combination being removable from the hanger arm by moving the clip laterally relative to the hanger arm thereby to unhook the product/clip combination from the hanger arm,
• said plurality of hanger arms being identical in configuration and dimension, so that the support devices at the forward ends of the plurality of hanger arms are disposed at a substantially common height relative to said upright store fixture, and
• a display device attached to the support device at the forward ends of the plurality of hanger arms, said display device being adapted to display information relating to products on the hanger arms.

A product merchandising system comprising:

• an upright store fixture and at least one hanger arm coupled with said upright store fixture;
• said upright store fixture having a front side;
• said hanger arm having
• (i) a gravity slide portion extending forwardly and angularly downward from a location on the front side of the upright store fixture,
• (ii) a stop member disposed on the gravity slide portion near the lower end thereof,
• (iii) a front portion extending forwardly from the lower end of the gravity slide portion, and
• (iv) a front piece at the forward end of said front portion;
• at least one product/clip combination suspended from said hanger arm, said product/clip combination comprising a product and a clip releasably engaging a predetermined portion of said product, said clip having a hook configured to releasably engage said hanger arm at any location rearward of said front piece and to suspend the product/clip combination therefrom;
• and
• said hook and said gravity slide portion of said hanger arm being configured to enable a product/clip combination suspended from said hanger arm to slide downward along said gravity slide portion under the influence of gravity when said hook engages said gravity slide portion, each product/clip combination being removable from the hanger arm by moving the clip laterally relative to the hanger arm thereby to unhook the product/clip combination from the hanger arm.
