Abstract:
A retail display hang tag device for supportively displaying a fluid applicator of the type having a container filled with a fluid, a removable fluid dispensing closure including closely spaced longitudinal grasping grooves and a removable protective cap, said hang tag comprising:an elongated generally flat panel molded as a unit and having an upper portion, a lower portion and a central portion extending therebetween; said upper portion having a first aperture formed therethrough sized to fit over and receive support from a display hanger or hook; said lower portion separated from said central portion by a first transverse line of weakness and having a second aperture formed therethrough sized to closely fit over and around a neck of an open upper end of the container before the fluid dispensing closure is placed into threaded engagement over the open upper end of the container; said lower portion being retained in position around the neck when the fluid dispensing closure is threadably attached to the open upper end of the container; said lower portion being flexibly bendable about said first line of weakness into an in-use position somewhat orthogonal to said central portion; said central portion having a ring formed therewith, said ring separated from said central portion by a second transverse line of weakness and defining a third aperture sized to snugly fit over and to retain the cap in place attached to the fluid dispensing closure; said ring being flexibly bendable about said second line of weakness into an in-use position somewhat orthogonal to said central portion and generally parallel to said lower portion; said hang tag being attachable to supportively display the fluid applicator by positioning the cap into said third aperture and the neck of the container into said second aperture with said lower portion and said ring being in the in-use position and the container and the fluid dispensing closure are attached to one another; single prong formed having a pointed tip and extending orthogonally from a lower end of said central portion, said prong being resiliently urged into engagement with one of the grooves by positioning said second aperture over the neck when said device is supportively attached to the fluid applicator to maintain a preselected viewable orientation of printed indicia on an outwardly facing surface of the container; said prong being resiliently deflectable when engaged into one of the grooves allowing repositioning of said prong into another groove to achieve another selected rotational reorientation of the printed indicia.
