Tool for attaching labels

The invention relates to Y / tools for fastening labels on certain commercial items.

In retail sales, goods to be sold are generally made available to the public for personal inspection and examination. In many cases, these goods are taken on by a prospective buyer personally from a display or storage table to a booth or table herüber- μ where the purchase is completed.

Upon purchase, the goods label is removed, indicating that the item is now the property of the buyer.

The traditional label fasteners that aren't particularly are expensive, but can be easily accessed by small simple tools, such as hessers, sound bearings, scissors, and staple removers Like. Be eliminated.

An attachment of flat labels to sheet-shaped parts of a commercial object has therefore already been proposed, which consists of a nail-like fastening element with head part, shaft and button element as shaft mount consists, and which is characterized in that the shaft of the nail-like fastening element has a label, a sheet-shaped part and a button element penetrates, wherein the button element held at a substantial distance from the label by the bent shaft tip and against the Label, the sheet-shaped part and the head part is pressed and the shaft for releasing the label attachment only can be separated by a strong cutting knife that penetrates the shaft and button element at the same time.

The button element can be made of a high-density, strong and smooth plastic.

The button member generally has a wide flange portion and a central opening through which the shaft can be pushed.

The button element is preferably at one end with a Recess formed to enclose the bent shaft tip. >

The shaft can be provided with a tip that is in the fastened state is bent back like a fish hook and penetrated the button element »

To attach the label, a large pincer-like tool is provided, one jaw of which is shaped around itself the exposed surface of the head of the nail-like fastener while the other jaw of the same is formed as an anvil with a curved surface. This curved surface effects when pressed against the tip of the shank of the nail-like fastener will involve bending the tip around and back into the plastic button. The further squeezing embeds the shaft tip into the button, while at the same time the trade item, the label and the plastic button against the button of the nail-like The fastener squeezes so that the label is held securely in place.

The tool according to the invention for attaching labels is characterized in that the same upper and lower Jaws, means which connect the jaws in such a way that they are squeezed together can place a first anvil on one of the jaws with a surface facing the other jaw, the Jaw can adapt to the expanded head of a nail-like fastener, attaching a second anvil to the another jaw, which has a curved recess in the middle, around the sharpened tip of the nail-like fastener bend over and press them into an associated button element when the jaws are squeezed together.

The device connecting the jaws can be a pliers-like tool with handles that protrude from the Jaws extend out with the handles being pivotally connected to one another.

The tool preferably has an adjustable spacer device, which limits the minimum spacing of the anvils.

The invention is for example based on the. Drawing described in more detail.

In the drawing are:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a tool, which according to the invention in the attachment of a Label is used on a commercial item,

Figures 2 to 5 are sectional views taken in succession represent steps used in attaching a label according to the invention to an article of commerce ",

FIGS. 6 and 7 are top views showing two anvil parts of the tool according to FIG. 1 in this regard.

The tooling for making the label attachment assembly previously described is shown in FIG. This Tool, indicated generally at 52, is basically a tong-like device, upper and lower BäBcenelemente 54, 56 contains, which in this regard from a Pieces with associated lower and upper handles 58 and 60 are made, which are connected. A pivot 62 is provided where the handles are connected to their associated jaw members. By pressing the handles together 58 and 60, the jaw elements 54 and 56 can close on one another. The location of the pin 62 provides the mechanical Advantage or the closing force that can be exerted on the jaw members 54 and 56. A jaw clasp adjustment pin 64 is threaded through lower jaw member 56 and is aligned with a stop 66 on upper jaw member 54. By rotating the adjustment pin 64, the minimum jaw opening (i.e. the adjustment of the jaws when the pin 64 touches the stop 66). This allows

es, the device of various sized label fasteners adapt.

The upper and lower anvil members 68 and 70 are reciprocal facing positions near the tips of the upper and lower jaw members 54 and 56, respectively. The anvil elements 68 and 70 have specially shaped end surfaces which serve to support the bent over portion 38 of the nail-like fastener 40 in such a way that the cylindrical button 28, the label 24, the fabric layer 25 the pants 20 and the head portion 42 of the nail-like fastener 40 in an alternating crimped configuration with one another squeezes. "

Pig. Figure 2 shows the arrangement of the label of the fabric material of the pants and the fastening elements in their relative Positions just before the label is attached 24 on the pants 20. As in Pig. 2, the shaft portion 44 of the nail-like fastener 40 is adjusted so that that it is first perforated through the fabric layer 25 of the pants, then through the opening 48 in the label 24 and through the Gown opening 50 in button 28 to pass through. The parts are shown in this united state in FIG. In In this arrangement, it will be noted that the sharpened tip 46 of the nail-like fastener element is completely separated from the J Central opening 50 in which button 28 is free. After that, as in Pig. 4 shows the tool 52 with its upper and lower Anvil elements 68 and 70 brought into position, these in this regard on the button 28 and on the head part 42 of the nail-like fastening element 40 rest. Like in Pig. 4 is shown, the lower -.- right anvil element 70 is designed so that it the head part 42 of the fastening element 40 in one in such a way to keep him safe in a fixed position while allowing the fabric layer 25 and label 24 to be supported against the underside of the Head part 42 to be printed. The design of the upper

Anvil member 68, on the other hand, includes a pair of cylindrical ones Recesses 72 and 74 which, in this regard, mate with the extended flange 30 and the cylindrical portion 34 of the button 28 adjust. In addition, the upper anvil element 68 is provided with a centrally arranged rounded recess 76 which is attacked by the sharpened tip 46 of the nail-like fastening element 40. Y / hen the jaws 54 and 56 of the tool 52 are closed on each other to the anvil elements Bringing 68 and 70 even closer together causes the rounded recess 76 in the upper anvil element to that the tip 46 of the nail-like fastener 40 is bent over and embedded rearwardly in the button material will.

From the foregoing it can be seen that a very secure label attachment device can be obtained with a single simple operation can be created. Such attachment becomes a label on a commercial item without destruction or damage to the goods. On the other hand, should an attempt be made, the label would be unauthorized by To remove the goods, it may be necessary either to tear the fabric or to otherwise close the goods or the label damage or destroy. The only way to remove the label without damaging it is to use the stem to sever the nail-like fastener. However, it will be because of the shape of the fastening connection first necessary to sever the button in order to gain access to the shaft part. This is very difficult with the common hand-held tools because the button is too hard and smooth to use allow sufficient force to cut. A knife or tool slips off all around, if large Pressure is applied between it and the button.
