LABLE CLIP FOR DIVIDERS IN INDUSTRIAL BINS
The present invention provides a label clip for use with a bin divider, having a first major face and a second label bearing face. Typically, the first major face and the second label bearing face are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 0-60° and preferably by about 20°. The faces are connected to a divider of a bin system by an extension leg and a retaining leg and preferably an insertion leg. One or more reinforcing sections may link the extension leg and label face. The clip may also optionally include one or more gripping sections protruding from the extension leg toward the major face.
1 . A label clip for use with a bin divider, comprising:
a label bearing section having a front and a rear;
a clip section; and
a cantilevered leg joined to the label bearing section and having an extension leg, having a proximal end adjacent the label bearing section that is angled away from the clip section and a retaining leg linked to the extension leg that angles toward the clip section.
2 . The label clip of claim 1 , wherein the cantilevered leg further comprises:
a deflector having a proximal end that is joined to the distal end of the retaining leg.
3 . The label clip of claim 1 , wherein the label bearing section and the clip section are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 10-45°.
4 . The label clip of claim 1 , wherein the label bearing section and the clip section are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 0-60°.
5 . The label clip of claim 1 , wherein the label bearing section and the clip section are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 20°.
6 . The label clip of claim 1 , further comprising:
one or more reinforcing ribs linking the extension leg and label bearing section.
7 . The label clip of claim 1 , further comprising:
one or more stanchions protruding from the extension leg toward the clip section.
8 . The label clip of claim 1 , wherein the clip is formed by injection molding.
9 . The label clip of claim 1 , wherein the clip is formed from a polymer selected from the group of ABS, acetyl polymers, nylon, or polystyrene (HIPS), polypropylene and polyethylene.
10 . A label clip for use with a bin divider, comprising:
a label bearing section having a front and a rear;
a clip section;
a cantilevered leg joined to the label bearing section and having an extension leg, having a proximal end adjacent the label bearing section that is angled away from the clip section and a retaining leg linked to the extension leg that angles toward the clip section;
a deflector having a proximal end that is joined to the distal end of the retaining leg;
wherein the label bearing section and the clip section are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 10-45°.
11 . The label clip of claim 10 , wherein the label bearing section and the clip section are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 20°.
12 . The label clip of claim 10 , further comprising:
one or more reinforcing ribs linking the extension leg and label bearing section.
13 . The label clip of claim 10 , further comprising:
one or more stanchions protruding from the extension leg toward the clip section.
14 . The label clip of claim 10 , wherein the clip is formed by injection molding.
15 . The label clip of claim 10 , wherein the clip is formed from a polymer selected from the group of ABS, acetyl polymers, nylon, or polystyrene (HIPS), polypropylene and polyethylene.
16 . A label clip for use with a bin divider, comprising:
a label bearing section having a front and a rear;
a clip section;
a cantilevered leg joined to the label bearing section and having an extension leg, having a proximal end adjacent the label bearing section that is angled away from the clip section and a retaining leg linked to the extension leg that angles toward the clip section;
a deflector having a proximal end that is joined to the distal end of the retaining leg;
one or more reinforcing ribs linking the extension leg and label bearing section;
one or more stanchions protruding from the extension leg toward the clip section; and
wherein the label bearing section and the clip section are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 20°.
17 . The label clip of claim 16 , wherein the clip is formed by injection molding.
18 . The label clip of claim 16 , wherein the clip is formed from a polymer selected from the group of ABS, acetyl polymers, nylon, or polystyrene (HIPS), polypropylene and polyethylene.
