ABSTRACT:
A mail box indicator for noting the arrival of mail. The indicator includes a sliding member that has a latch for connection to the door of the mail box. The latch slides through the use of a resilient cord such as bungee and the cord and latch are contained within an enclosed compartment to avoid exposure to the elements. The latch of the sliding member is connected to the latch of the mail box door when the apparatus is set for use. Opening of the mail box will break this connection and cause the sliding member to travel upward and so indicate that mail has arrived.
