ABSTRACT:
A mnemonic system for identifying one object out of many substantially like objects. The system includes an elastomeric adhesion device proportioned for placement upon a horizontal surface of the object to be identified. Also included is an elongate resilient linear member having a first end and a second end, the member secured, at the first end to the adhesion element, in a vertical orientation relative to the surface of the object to be identified. Also provided are several resilient uniplanar elements, each of the elements having several holes, each of the holes proportioned to permit the slideable passage of the second end of the linear member through a selected pair of such holes after a bending of the uniplanar element has occurred. Such holes are proportioned to frictionally contact the linear member after the passage of the linear member therethru, thereby maintaining said uniplanar elements in a resiliently deformed co-action with the linear elememt. The orientation of one or more of the uniplanar elements may be selectively changed through change in the selected pair of holes within a particular uniplanar element through which the linear member has been frictionally passed. Through the use of a predetermined sequence of respective orientations of adjacently located uniplanar elements, the identification of one object out of a large number of like objects may be achieved.
