Rotating Label Reminder System For A Container
The present application is directed to label reminder systems for a container and methods thereof. A base label may be adhered to the container, and reminder information displayed on the base label. A rotatable top label may cover at least a portion of the base label. The top label may have at least two transparent windows allowing a specific segment of the reminder information to be displayed through the transparent windows.
1 . A rotating label reminder system for a container, comprising:
a base label adhered to the container, the base label having a front surface with printed reminder information;
an opaque rotating top label covering at least a portion of the front surface of the base label;
two transparent windows within separate portions of the opaque rotating top label, the two transparent windows displaying at least two portions of the printed reminder information; and
wherein rotation of the opaque rotating top label causes the two transparent windows to collectively display a specific segment of the printed reminder information.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the specific segment of the printed reminder information includes a first indicia representing a first time when material previously found within the container was dispensed, and a second indicia representing a second time when material currently within the container is to be dispensed.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the printed reminder information comprises hours of the day.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the printed reminder information comprises a first set of reminder information and a second set of reminder information.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein one of the transparent windows displays a portion of the first set of reminder information and the other transparent window displays a portion of the second set of reminder information.
6 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the first set of reminder information is offset from the second set of reminder information.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein an amount of the offset is related to a length of time between successive dispensing of material within the container.
8 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the material is a liquid, a solid or any combination thereof.
9 . A method for generating a rotating label reminder system for a container, comprising:
adhering a base label to the container, the base label having a front surface with printed reminder information;
covering at least a portion of the front surface of the base label with an opaque rotating top label;
placing two transparent windows within separate portions of the opaque rotating top label, the two transparent windows displaying at least two portions of the printed reminder information; and
allowing the opaque rotating top label to rotate, causing the two transparent windows to collectively display a specific segment of the printed reminder information.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the specific segment of the printed reminder information includes a first indicia representing a first time when material previously found within the container was dispensed, and a second indicia representing a second time when material currently within the container is to be dispensed.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the printed reminder information comprises a first set of reminder information and a second set of reminder information.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the material is a liquid, a solid or any combination thereof.
13 . A rotating label reminder system for a container, comprising:
printed reminder information on a surface of the container;
an opaque rotating top label covering at least a portion of the front surface of the container;
two transparent windows within separate portions of the opaque rotating top label, the two transparent windows displaying at least two portions of the printed reminder information; and
wherein rotation of the opaque rotating top label causes the two transparent windows to display a specific segment of the printed reminder information.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the specific segment of the printed reminder information includes a first indicia representing a first time when material previously found within the container was dispensed, and a second indicia representing a second time when material currently within the container is to be dispensed.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the second time represents an immediately successive time after the first time for dispensing the material currently within the container.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein a difference between the first time and the second time represents a dispensing interval.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the dispensing interval is fixed or constant for each specific segment of the printed reminder information.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the dispensing interval is not fixed or not constant for at least one specific segment of the printed reminder information.
19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the first indicia and the second indicia include an AM or PM designation.
20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein further unidirectional rotation of the opaque rotating top label causes the two transparent windows to display a second specific segment of the printed reminder information.
21 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the second specific segment of the printed reminder information includes a third indicia representing a third time when material previously found within the container was dispensed or is to be dispensed, and a fourth indicia representing a fourth time when material currently within the container is to be dispensed.
22 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the at least two portions of the printed reminder information comprise the specific segment of the printed reminder information.
