  • Newspaper alert apparatus
    Patent number: 5180101
    Abstract: A newspaper box has a newspaper delivery indicating device comprising a flag, flap and hinge which pass through a slot in a top wall of a newspaper container. At least two additional holes are provided through which a pair of wire loops extend for supporting the hinge. The hinge is either a shaft extending perpendicular to a pair of arms from which the flag and flap extend, or a pair of holes in the flap itself. In operation, a newspaper inserted within the box drives the flap inwardly and cause the flag to rise. Preferably, the device is produced as a unitary structure to allow utilizing the invention as a low cost kit for retro-fitting to existing newspaper boxes. Utilizing such a device provides ease in indicating when a newspaper has been delivered while minimizing the cost of retro-fitting existing newspaper boxes.
