Occupancy marker

A safety device to indicate whether a closure member, such as a door or window, disposed in a framed opening of a room of an edifice, has been opened, said device comprising:

• an elongated, unitary, relatively thin, planar, stationary, first member for securement to a face of said closure member adjacent the frame of a room opening at an angle to the horizontal, said first member having one end disposed adjacent the frame and an other end remote from the frame, said one end being at a higher elevation than said other end;
• an elongated, unitary, relatively thin, planar, movable, second member having one end disposed adjacent the frame and an other end pivotally secured to said first member adjacent said other end of said first member for pivotal movement about a pivot means having an axis extending substantially at right angles to the planes of said first and second members, said second member having rounded edge means at said one end thereof, and being of a length such that said edge means abuttingly engages and is partially supported by the frame, said second member being movable under the influence of gravity from a first position whereat said second member completely conceals said first member from view and said edge means engages said frame when said closure member is closed, to a second position upon the opening of said closure member sufficiently for said second member to clear the frame whereat said second member moves to said second position and exposes said first member to view.
