Abstract
A information bearing device into which several wires or a cable can be disposed, for the display of QR code information pertaining to the wires or cable. The device includes a first indicia bearing engaging portion and a second receiving portion for mounting the device on a wire(s) or cable. QR code or micro QR code indicia may be printed directly onto the surface of the engaging portion, or the indica may be added to the indicia receiving surface by placement of self adhesive QR code containing tabs to be read by QR code readers, cameras and smart phones.
Claims18
A notator device carrying QR/micro QR indicia concerning the wire(s)/cable, which wires/cable are to be disposed in the notator,
- said device comprising a first QR code indicia bearing engaging portion and a second cup like shaped receiving portion for disposition of wires/cable, wherein the receiving portion is fixedly attached to the first or indicia carrying engaging portion by a junction member which receiving portion is matingly engage able with the engaging portion for retaining wires/cable therein, and providing information about the nature of, function or location of the wires/cable.
A process for identifying wire(s)/cable to be disposed in a notator having a cup-like receiving portion and an engaging portion having a flat outer surface, the two portions being joined by a flexible junction member, which process comprises:
- (A) placing the wire(s)/cable in the cup like receiving portion of the notator,
- (B) rotate the engaging portion and the receiving portions toward each other,
- (C) matingly engage the two portions.
- (D) apply a self adhesive tab bearing QR or micro QR code with identification information concerning the wire(s)/cable in said notator to the flat outer surface of said engaging portion.
A notator device carrying QR/micro QR indicia concerning the wire(s)/cable, which wires/cable are to be disposed in the notator,
- said device comprising a first QR code indicia bearing engaging portion and a second cup like shaped receiving portion for disposition of wires/cable, wherein the receiving portion is fixedly attached to the first or indicia carrying engaging portion by a junction member which receiving portion is matingly engage able with the engaging portion for retaining wires/cable therein, and providing information about the nature of, function or location of the wires/cable,
- wherein the receiving portion of this device comprises a cup-like portion having a disc base and two upstanding spaced side wall segments, each of which has a semi-circular base which side wall bases are attached to the disc base along their respective diameters,
- and wherein the engaging portion has a flat circular base having a central annulus shaped segment on its inner surface, and a second flat area also round in configuration outside the annulus, and spaced from the second flat area at the outer edge of the base is a series of upstanding spaced wall segments each with an inward extending lip at the top thereof,
- the QR code indicia being a self adhesive tab disposed upon the outer surface of the engaging portion.
