Abstract
The color coding system is for use with a storage bin for fastener parts and tools that assists in identifying and matching the cooperating sizes of fastener parts and tools by using color code markings on the various sizes for tools and fastener parts. The color coding system can readily communicate visually to a user the size of a selected fastener part, the sizes of cooperating fastener parts and the sizes of the cooperating tools for each of the selected fastener parts.
Claims10
A color coding system for a storage bin to size fastener parts and cooperating tools, the color coding system comprising:
- a storage bin;
- a plurality of fastener parts, wherein said fastener parts having different sizes;
- a plurality of tools, wherein said tools having different sizes, wherein at least one of said tools fits at least one of said fastener parts;
- a plurality of labels;
- a plurality of first color code markings, wherein each of said first color code markings designates a specific size of a respective fastener part, and each of said first color code markings is disposed on a respective one of said plurality of labels;
- a plurality of second color code markings, wherein each of said second color code markings designates a specific size of a respective tool, and each of said second color code markings is disposed on a respective one of said plurality of labels;
- wherein the fastener part designated by the first color code marking on one of said plurality of labels is sized to cooperate with the tool designated by the second color code marking that is disposed on the same label;
- a plurality of third color code markings, wherein each of said third color code markings is disposed on a respective tool and each of said third color code markings designates a specific size comprised by the respective tool;
- wherein the first, second and third color code markings comprise a unique color for each one of the designated sizes;
- wherein said labels are disposed on the storage bin, such that each compartment has a respective label thereon;
- and
- wherein said first and second color code markings on a respective label indicate cooperating sizes of the designated fastener part and the designated tool.
