Abstract
A coupling mechanism which supports an inventory divider within a storage bin. The coupling mechanism comprises a joint extension and a holding mechanism. The coupling mechanism is coupled to an interior wall of a supply bin. An inventory divider is inserted into the joint extension and is rotated within the joint extension between and upper and lower position within the storage bin. The holding mechanism of the coupling mechanism retains the inventory divider in the upper position, dividing the storage bin into two compartments. By retaining the inventory divider with a holding mechanism that is not directly connected to the bin, the wear on the holding mechanism is substantially reduced and the inventory divider is more secure.
