Abstract
A display device has a base and an upper platform for removably supporting a retail product thereon. A sensor or attachment device includes an attachment surface for attaching the sensor to the product and has an internal magnet which magnetically couples with another magnet located in the platform to automatically orient the sensor and attached product to a desired display position on the base. A metal plate is mounted within the sensor between the internal magnet and attachment surface to provide magnetic shielding for magnetic sensitive components of the product attached to the sensor. A lanyard extends between the sensor and the base or a remote fixture and may contain electrical conductors for controlling a plunger actuated switch in the sensor.
