(54)	Hook and bracket security assembly

(57) For use with slat wall lining, a security assembly for suspended items on display comprises a bracket (10) provided with a hook (12), the bracket having means (14) for engagement in a slot of the slat wall lining, a second component (16), also having means (13) for engagement in a slot of the slat wall lining, and connector means engageable with the hook (12) whereby the second component(16) and the bracket (10), when engaged with adjacent slots of the slat wall lining, may be connected together and clamped between said adjacent slots so that neither is removable therefrom. The connector means may be provided on a separate connector component (e.g 18) which may have clip means or deformable or crimpable portions (21 - 24) for engagement with the hook (12) as well as spring means (20) to urge the second component (16) into clamping co-operation with the bracket (10). Alternatively, the connector means may comprise a strap or barbs provided on the second component itself. A special locking device (19) with two arms (45, 41) may also be provided.
