Adjustable reminder label

摘要

The disclosure is directed to a reminder label, specifically to a thermoplastic adjustable reminder label that is configured to indicate removal of content from a bottle to which the thermoplastic reminder label is coupled. The label has a flanged thermoplastic knob extending above a rectangular flange with a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A pair of resilient units is coupled to the flange along transverse sides and extends beyond the transverse sides. Each resilient member terminates in protrusions to engage parallel grooves etched internally in each of longitudinal parallel walls (101, 102) of a housing (130). A flap (110) is hingedly coupled to a housing base frame (140) to frictionally engage the housing and form a floor.

主权项

1. An adjustable reminder label comprising:
a. a thermoplastic mounting plate having a substantially rectangular open housing disposed above a base frame, the housing comprising a roof connected to two longitudinal parallel walls and two transverse parallel walls, the roof defining a plurality of periodic indicators and a continuous open elongated channel having a plurality of slide notches wherein each slide notch includes an entry passage and an adjacent indicator slot, wherein a shortest gap across the entry passage and perpendicular to a slide direction of the slide notch is less than a shortest distance of an axis across the indicator slot and parallel to the slide direction of the slide notch and wherein the number of indicator slots is equal to the number of periodic indicators; b. a thermoplastic position indicator slidably coupled to the housing and extending through the open channel, wherein the position indicator comprises:
i. a flanged thermoplastic knob, extending above a substantially rectangular flange, the substantially rectangular knob flange having a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; andii. a pair of resilient members operably coupled to the substantially rectangular knob flange along the transverse sides and extending beyond the transverse sides, wherein the resilient members each terminate in protrusions configured to engage parallel grooves etched internally in each of the longitudinal parallel walls of the housing; and c. a flap hingedly coupled to the housing base frame, the flap configured to frictionally engage the housing and form a floor.
