Since the movable stopper 21 can be moved in the axial direction of the upper rod 5 when a force of a certain level or more is applied, the movable stopper 21 is, for example, the tip portion 5a of the upper rod 5. Since the urging force and the stroke for pressing the product can be changed by moving to a position close to or a position away from the tip portion 5a, it is possible to use even a heavy product or a light product.

By the way, the hook rod for suspending and displaying products is not necessarily limited to the two-stage hook rod type described so far, and the product hanging rod 3 and the pedestal as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are used. There is also a single hook rod 47 constituted only by 7 and 7, but in this case, the upper hook rod 5 is constituted by coupling the two-stage hook rod forming member 48 to the single hook rod 47 via the coupling means.

Of these, the two-stage hook rod forming member 48 shown in FIG. 11 is composed of at least a base portion 49 and a bending rod 50, and the bending rod 50 is a standing member extending further upward from the base portion 49. It is composed of a part 51 and a horizontal part 52 extending in parallel with the product hanging rod 3.

The base portion 49 has a fitting groove 53 having a width substantially the same as the axial width of the rods 3 and 5 of the pedestal 7 formed across both sides, and is fitted on the product hanging rod 3 side. A notch 54 that communicates with the side of the mating groove 53 is formed.

Further, unlike the existing upper rod 5, the bending rod 50 can have a free shape,
Taking advantage of the advantage, a groove 55 is formed extending from the side of the standing portion 51 facing the product hanging rod 3 along the side of the horizontal portion 52 facing the product hanging rod 3. The display unit 30 that guides the suspended product is pivotally supported by the rotating shaft 56 on the tip end side of the horizontal portion 52.
An arcuate cutout 57 that engages with the product hanging rod 3 is formed at the end of the display unit 30 on the product hanging rod 3 side.

For this reason, the base portion 49 of the two-stage hook rod forming member 48 having such a structure is connected to the single hook rod 47.
As shown in FIG. 11, the bending rod 50 of the two-stage hook rod forming member 48 is fitted to the pedestal 7 of FIG.
Since the horizontal portion 52 of the above constitutes the upper stage rod 5, as shown in FIG.
Also, since the movable stopper 21 can be attached, it is possible to attach the hanging product extruding device 1.

Further, since the movable stopper 21 can be moved in the axial direction of the horizontal portion 52 of the bending rod 50, the movable stopper 21 is positioned, for example, at a position close to the display portion 30 of the horizontal portion 52 or displayed. By sliding to a position away from the portion 30 or the like, the urging force and stroke for pressing the product can be changed, and the product can be used for a heavy product or a light product.

Moreover, the product suspension rod 3 of the horizontal portion 52
Since the groove portion 55 is formed on the side, the belt-shaped winding spring 19 is arranged in the groove portion 55 when the belt-shaped winding spring 19 is extended along the horizontal portion 52. It has a unique effect that the spring 19 can be made inconspicuous.

Further, the two-stage hook rod forming member 48
When the base portion 49 is fitted to the pedestal 7 of the single hook rod 47, the notch 57 of the display unit 30 is in contact with the product hanging rod 3, so that the product can be prevented from falling. At the same time, when the product is taken out, the display unit 30 can be rotated upward, so that there is a unique effect that the display unit 30 does not interfere.

Since the bending rod 52 of the two-stage hook rod forming member 48 can be formed into a free shape, further, as shown in FIG. 12 and particularly FIG. The T-shaped cross section may be composed of a portion and a standing portion that extends vertically from the bottom surface. When the bent rod 52 having a T-shaped cross section is used, the two band-shaped winding springs 19 can be used by configuring the product pushing tool 8 as follows.

That is, a wall 58 having a guide groove 14 having a width substantially the same as the width of the bent rod 52 is provided upright in the center of the upper portion of the article pushing out tool 8, and a wall 59 extending laterally from the wall 58 is provided. The spring accommodating portions 10 and 10 are configured by standing upright. Then, the strip-shaped winding-type spring 19 is arranged in each spring storage portion 10 in a laterally laid-down manner and so as to be pulled out from between the bending rod 52 and the guide groove 14.

According to this structure, the strip-shaped winding spring 19
Is pulled out below the horizontal portion of the bending rod 52 and along both sides of the vertical portion, the strip-shaped winding spring 1
The urging force of the band-shaped winding spring 19 can be enhanced while preventing the 9 from standing out.
