Abstract (en)

This invention relates to retail security devices. In particular this invention relates to an anti-sweep device for a peg hook (4) and to a peg hook including an anti-sweep device. A plurality of articles are suspended from a peg hook, the peg hook being configured to extend through a hanging aperture of each of the articles and the shape of the hanging apertures defining a hanging envelope. An anti-sweep device comprises an arm (24) pivotally connected or connectable to the peg hook at a proximal end of the arm. The arm is configured such that during removal of a first article from the peg hook the arm moves from a first position in which at least a part of a distal portion of the arm lies within the hanging envelope and a part of a proximal portion of the arm lies outside the hanging envelope to a second position in which the proximal portion lies within the hanging envelope and at least a part of the distal portion moves outside the hanging envelope, to prevent removal of a second article from the peg hook.
