W. R. MACINTOSH.
TAG FASTENER.
APPLICATION FILED SEPT.22. x914 Patented Oct. 12, 1915.
INVENTEIR rnvrrnn sra rns earner WILLIAM It. MACINTOSI-I, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
TAG-FASTENEB.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VVILLIAM R. MAOIN- 'rosn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bufialo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tag-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to wire fasteners for attaching tags or the like to articles for identification or transportation.
It is the object of this invention to provide a fastener of this character which can be made at low cost, which can be put up in lots without liability of becoming tangled, I
which permit of attaching tags toarticles quickly and easily, and which hold the tags securely and reliably on the articles.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a wire tag fastener constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary longitudinal section of the same on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a cross section in line 3-3, Fig. '2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a tag attached to an article by my improved fastener. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal section showing the manner in which the ends of the fastener are connected when in'use for attaching a tag to an article.
Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. My improved tag fastener is constructed from a single piece of wire which is so prepared that the same may be used for attaching a tag to an article by the use of the hands only instead of employing tools for this purpose.
In its general organization my improved tag fastener comprises a longitudinal body 1, an enlarged loop or reversely bent part 2 connected at one end with one end of the body, and a coil 3 connected at one end with the other end of the loop and wound loosely around that part of said body adjacent to the loop thereof, so that the convolutions of this coil are separated fromeach other, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. When using this fastener forattaching a tag to an article the body ofthe fastener is passedthrough Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.
the eye 4.- of the tag 5 and a suitable part of canton.
Patented Oct. 12, 1915. Application filed. September 22, 1914. 1 Serial No. 862,953.
the article, as for instancethe handle. 6 of i a jug 7 and then the plain end 8 of the body iswrapped or wound preferably, closely and tightly upon the body so that. the convolutions of the plain end of the body are ar ranged between the convolutions of the coil, as shown in Figs. 4: and 5. I
The attachment of the tag to the article to be identified or transported is now coinplete and has been effected solely by hand.
If any strains are applied to the fastener while thus secured to the tag and article tending, to pull apart the connected ends of the fastener such strains would cause the convolutions formed by windingthe plain end of the wire to slip on the body toward the loop, thereby crowding together the convolutions of the coil loop and causing the latter to' form an enlargement or head which frequently assumes the shape'of a hook, whereby the two ends of the wire become firmly interlocked and are held against separation. The tag is thus securely attached to the article and toward the therefore not liable to become separated therefrom during shipment orother condi-' These fasteners can be bundled or.
tions.
packed in a condition in which the several fasteners lie closely together without liability of the fasteners becoming interlocked or snarled which would make their separa 7 tion preparatory to using them not only, difficult but also annoying and involve loss of time in tagging articles.
I claim as my invention:
A tag fastener comprising a wire having a body, and a coil forming a continuation of one end of the body and wound loosely five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
