J-Hook

J-Hook

n. A type of CLIP STRIP characterized by a long metal rod having many small attached spring clips down its length, and terminating on top with a bent, candy cane or J shape, which slips into a special J-HOOK HOLDER. See also CLIP STRIP, J-HOOK HOLDER, NAVAJO.

NOTE: J-Hooks are also sometimes hung from the front edge of a sheet of PLEXIGLAS® separating layers of a FAST-WALL or EVZ DISPLAY using one of the small wire handles of a regular black, metal binder-clip, as may be purchased from any stationary store.

Also, sometimes they are simply slipped over the upright CARDBOARD edge of a WINDOW-CUT or TRAY-CUT or other such suitable CARDBOARD CASE.

J-Hook Holder

J-Hook Holder

n. A unique shiny steel bracket that has two prongs on its flat upper surface, which are bent slightly so to as to slip into perforations in SHELF surface near its edges, and which thus lies flat with the SHELF surface underneath any PRODUCT overburden. The bracket protrudes outwards from the shelf about two inches (2.5 mm) and has two ears which are folded downward on either side, each containing a suitably sized hole to accommodate a J-HOOK, thus allowing one such bracket to support two J-HOOKS, back to back. See also CLIP STRIP, J-HOOK.

NOTE: Be careful—these things can do serious damage to your elbow if you're working a top SHELF nearby and not paying close attention.

Jack

Jack

n. A two-tined rolling fork lift with a manual pump handle that's used to raise (up to several inches), move and DROP PALLETS. Also HAND JACK. See also HIGH-LIFT, POWER JACK.

Jam

Jam

v. To force all, a greater quantity than usual, or sometimes an excessive amount of any ITEM into its HOLE. —adv. Completely full: “It's jammed.” See also BACK-SET OFFSET ROW, GO, HIDE, LAY-IN, MAKE IT GO.

NOTE: Some things, like glass jars, are just not meant to be Jammed—unless you can use the BACK-SET OFFSET ROW trick. However, it's often better to just keep it on the RUNNER or BACK-STOCK the excess and move on.

TIP: Raise Your Roof. You can often JAM a few extra pieces of narrow things like gelatin or spaghetti BOXES at the very top of the HOLE, in between the reinforcing rafters on the underside of the SHELF above.

Jump Shelf

Jump Shelf

n. See TIE-IN SHELF. Also PEEKABOO SHELF.
