Product identification tag with improved mounting portion

Claim 1

A product identification tag for use with an elongate hook extending substantially horizontally from a mounting panel, the panel being of the type having a horizontally extending channel in which a bracket forming the back of the hook engages by means of a portion of the bracket which is in the form of an inverted U fitting over a front web of the channel, the tag comprising a mounting portion for anchoring in the channel behind said portion of the bracket, and at least an elongate portion of sheet material extending from the mounting portion for overlying the hook, the mounting portion comprising a wedge to be inserted in said channel behind said portion of the bracket as aforesaid, a forward surface of the wedge including means defining a lateral projection against which a free lower edge of said portion of the bracket can be brought into engagement responsive to insertion of the wedge as aforesaid followed by raising and lowering of the bracket, whereby engagement of said edge against said projection traps the wedge in place in the channel substantially preventing withdrawal of the wedge from the channel until the bracket is removed.
