Abstract:
A display unit for a consumer article, the display unit comprising:a housing; a mount disposed in the housing, wherein the mount comprises at least one aperture therethrough; an article support unit, the article support unit comprising: an article support platform for supporting a consumer article; a cap, the cap being coupled to the article support platform and positionable on the mount, the cap further comprising at least one aperture in at least essential alignment with the at least one aperture in the mount; a tongue member, the tongue member extending from the article support unit and including a tab on a surface thereof, wherein the tab cooperates with a side wall of the housing to releasably lock the article support unit in place when the cap is positioned on the mount; wherein the side wall provides for the decoupling of the tab therefrom; and a connector, threadable through the respective apertures of the cap and the mount, for maintaining a coupling of the cap and the mount when the tab of the tongue is decoupled from the side wall of the housing and the cap is removed off of the mount; whereby the maintenance of a coupling of the cap and the mount discourages the unauthorized decoupling and removal of the article support unit and the article from the housing.
