Benefits of technology

[0009] It is an object of this invention to provide a display rack and hook combination that supports a variety of different shaped hooks in a firm and stabilized manner.

Problems solved by technology

Although this arrangement is quite effective, this rack uses a hook that could be dislodged when a product is removed from suspension from the hook.
It can be seen from the foregoing patents that firm support and stabilization of display hooks, which carry products being displayed thereon, is a serious problem in the display rack art.
