Abstract: A storeroom bin marker which includes a base member having indicia thereon, and a rotatable view blocking member which can be selectively rotated to cover some, all, or none of the indicia, to thereby indicate the supply or reorder status of a stocked item. The base member has front and top panels at right angles with respect to each other, and is designed to fit over the front and top edges of a storage shelf. The bin marker has mounting holes in its front and top panels which can be used, with an elastic cord member, to secure the bin marker to wire shelves; or which can be used with screws to secure the bin marker to a solid shelf. Alternatively, the bin marker can be adhesively mounted to solid shelves. The front panel of the bin marker is provided with a pair of parallel, spaced apart bin label retainers for releasably holding a replaceable bin label. The top panel tapers in thickness towards its free end to avoid snagging of stocked items on it when they are removed from the shelf; and the free end of the top panel projects downwardly to allow the bin marker to seat firmly on shelves of the type having an upwardly extending article retaining lip on their top front edge.

Abstract translation: 一种储藏箱标记，其包括其上具有标记的基座构件和可旋转的视图阻挡构件，其可选择性地旋转以覆盖所述标记的一些全部或全部，从而指示储备物品的供应或重新排序状态。 基座构件具有相对于彼此成直角的前面板和顶板，并且被设计成装配在存储架的前边缘和顶部边缘上。 垃圾箱标记在其前面板和顶板中具有安装孔，可以使用弹性绳构件将垃圾箱标记固定到电线架上; 或者可以使用螺钉将垃圾箱标记固定在固体货架上。 或者，垃圾箱标记可以粘合地安装到实心货架上。 垃圾箱标记的前面板设置有一对平行的间隔开的垃圾桶标签保持器，用于可释放地保持可替换的垃圾箱标签。 顶板朝向其自由端的厚度逐渐变细，以避免在从货架上取下时放置的物品; 并且顶板的自由端向下突出，以允许垃圾箱标记牢固地安置在具有向上延伸的物品保持唇缘在其顶部前边缘上的类型的搁板上。
