Merchandise information tag with improved mounting arrangement
First Claim
1. In combination:
- a product identification tag comprising a substantially planar sheet of resiliently flexible plastic material having a mounting edge, said sheet including first and second transversely spaced mounting holes defined therein by respective first and second circumferential edges, said mounting holes each being slightly longitudinally spaced from said mounting edge, wherein said first and second mounting holes have respective first and second centers which are mutually spaced by a predetermined distance, said sheet further having first and second access cuts defined therein and extending from said mounting edge to said first and second circumferential edges, respectively, said access cuts each having respective mutually convergent first sides, wherein said first sides of said first and second access cuts, respectively, face away from one another and are transversely spaced along their entire lengths by less than said predetermined distance, wherein said first and second access cuts intersect said first and second circumferential edges, respectively, at respective first and second access breaks in said first and second circumferential edges, respectively, and wherein said first and second access breaks are everywhere disposed transversely closer to one another than said predetermined distance; and
a support member having first and second legs which are spaced by said predetermined distance and having cross-sectional configurations which fit within said first and second mounting holes, respectively.

Abstract
A product identification tag is fabricated from plastic and, in one embodiment, snap-fits onto a support member for a peg board hook without requiring removal of the hook from the peg board or the displayed merchandise from the hook. Support structure on the tag includes two holes spaced to correspond to the spacing between two legs in the hooked support member which are insertable into two peg board holes, respectively. Access channels are cut from a nearby mounting edge of the tag to the holes to permit the legs to be inserted into the respective holes only when portions of the tag which bound the access channels are flexed. In a second embodiment, using the same or a different form of tag mounting structure, the tag is secured adjacent a support wall, behind supported merchandise items, and projects forwardly alongside the supported merchandise items before terminating in a display section which is folded or bent to be disposed forwardly of the suspended merchandise.
