ABSTRACT:
A depletion indicating mechanism allows for visual inspection of the quantity of components contained in a storage bin. The storage bin is mounted on a fixed frame structure, such as a wall, and the bin is held in a tilted position in opposition to the gravitational force acting on the bin. A mechanism is responsive to the change of weight of the bin as the quantity of components is reduced so that angular displacement of the bin occurs. The mechanism amplifies the angular displacement of the bin into corresponding depletion measurements on a mechanical gauge which allows for visual inspection of an indicator to quickly determine the degree of bin depletion.
