Abstract
A self aligning magnetic labeling system for food containers which will conform dimensionally and in reading orientation to have a base magnetic strip having multiple evenly spaced magnetic band polarities and an adhesive base for adhering to plastic, glass, and metal food containers and a second magnetic strip having the same number of multiple evenly spaced magnetic bands of opposite polarity and having a label indicating the day of the week the container is placed in the refrigerator be aligned with each other to fit over each other and be oriented with the weekday readable.
Claims12
A magnetic labeling system comprising:
- a base magnet array having a plurality of elongated, generally collinear base magnets, each base magnet having first and second complementary magnetic poles at distal ends thereof, wherein the base magnets are fixed relative to one another in an alternating polarity relationship;
- a label magnet array having dimensions corresponding to said base magnet array, the label magnet array having a plurality of elongated, generally collinear label magnets, each label magnet having first and second complementary of poles corresponding to poles of said base magnet array;
- and
- wherein said poles on said base magnet array and said label magnet array are generally equivalent in dimensions of and oriented so as to be in opposite polarity when placed in relative proximity to one another.
A magnetic labeling system comprising:
- a generally planar base magnet array having physical dimension and including a plurality of base magnets, each of which includes first and second complementary magnetic poles;
- a label magnet array having dimensions corresponding to said base magnet and including a plurality of array magnets, each of which includes first and second complementary poles corresponding to poles of said base magnets;
- wherein said poles on said base magnets and said label magnets are generally equivalent in dimensions but are of opposite polarity;
- and
- wherein said base magnets and said label magnets will dimensionally self align over each other when placed near each other.
