Abstract

The present invention provides a label base assembly with an indicator tab that includes a label base assembly having at least one mounting section linked to the major face received in the front section of the bin and opposed retaining sections formed into the rear of the label bearing face. Also provided is an indicator tab having an indicator section and prongs projecting from the indicator section where the prongs slide between the retaining sections of the label base. Also provided is an industrial bin having a front section with opposed L-brackets for use in combination with the label base and indicator tab.

Claims (39)

1 . A label base assembly with an indicator tab for use with an industrial bin, comprising:

a label base assembly having:

a label bearing face having a front and rear;

at least one mounting section linked to the major face; and an indicator tab having:

an indicator section;

opposed prongs projecting from the indicator section;

the prongs of the indicator tab sized to slide between the opposed retaining sections of the label base.

2 . The label base assembly of claim 1 , wherein the retaining sections on the label are L-brackets.

3 . The label base assembly of claim 1 , wherein the label base further comprises:

ribs between the label bearing face and the mounting sections.

4 . The label base assembly of claim 1 , wherein the label base further comprises:

First and section mounting surfaces, each having planar sections of a first thickness having distal and proximal edges and tapered sections on at least the proximal edge.

5 . The label base assembly of claim 1 , wherein the retaining sections on the label are opposed L-brackets spaced at a predetermined distance; and

the opposed prongs are spaced at a predetermined distance less than the distance between the spaced L-brackets.

6 . The label base assembly of claim 6 , wherein the opposed prongs include detents and the L-brackets include projections.

7 . The label base assembly of claim 6 , wherein the opposed prongs include a narrowed section proximate the indicator section.

8 . The label base assembly of claim 6 , wherein the distal ends of the opposed prongs taper at the tip to ease insertion between the L-brackets.

9 . The label base assembly of claim 1 , wherein the opposed prongs include a narrowed section proximate the indicator section.

10 . The label base assembly of claim 1 , wherein the distal ends of the opposed prongs taper at the tip to ease insertion between the L-brackets.

11 . An industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab, comprising:

an industrial bin having a front section with opposed L-brackets;

a label base assembly having:

a label bearing face having a front and rear;

at least one mounting section linked to the major face received in the front section of the bin; and

an indicator section;

opposed prongs projecting from the indicator section;

the prongs of the indicator tab sized to slide between the opposed retaining sections of the label base.

12 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 11 , wherein the retaining sections on the label are L-brackets.

13 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 11 , wherein the label base further comprises:

ribs between the label bearing face and the mounting sections.

14 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 11 , wherein the label base further comprises:

first and second mounting surfaces, each having planar sections of a first thickness having distal and proximal edges and tapered sections on at least the proximal edge.

15 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 11 , wherein the retaining sections on the label are opposed L-brackets spaced at a predetermined distance; and

the opposed prongs are spaced at a predetermined distance less than the distance between the spaced L-brackets.

16 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 15 , wherein the opposed prongs include detents and the L-brackets include projections.

17 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 15 , wherein the opposed prongs include a narrowed section proximate the indicator section.

18 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 15 , wherein the opposed prongs include a narrowed section proximate the indicator section.

19 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 11 , wherein the opposed prongs include a narrowed section proximate the indicator section.

20 . The industrial bin and label base assembly with an indicator tab of claim 11 , wherein the distal ends of the opposed prongs taper at the tip to ease insertion between the L-brackets.
