HENRY PAULSON, 0F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
WATCH-REPAIR TAG.
Application filed January 29, 1920.
1/ h all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, HENRY PaULsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 3751 living Park Blvd., in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful VVatcli-Repair Tag, et which the following is a'speciiication.
My improvement relates to improvements in a watch repair tag in which an elliptically slotted hole is cut in the center of the tag, and running parallel to the long side of the tag, and the object of my improvement is to make it possible to display the tag from the hook on which the watch hangs suspcnded.
It has been the practice in watch repair shops and in jewelry shops, with watches on which repairs have been completed, to hang the watch on a small hook attached to a rack containing many such hooks, in order that the work may be in full view of the repair-man for any inal adjustments that may be necessary. In order that these watches may be identified as to owner, and in order that a ready reference may be at hand as to what repairs are necessary, it is customary to attach a small tag to each watch by means of a string. On this tag is written the owneris name, the list of repairs necessary and other miscellaneous information.
Previous to my invention, watch tags have hung suspended from the strings to which they are attached. The swinging of the watch on its hook, has tended to sway the tag. lThe objection to this has been that the reading matter on the watch repair tag could not be read at a glance, but on the contrary each tag, in order that its contents might be read, had to be lifted by the ingers Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 6, 1920.
Serial No. 354,795.
and its position changed. lVith my invention, the slotted tag is pulled over the hookthe watch repair tag holds rigidand its contents can bev read at a glance. It is not necessary to handle each tag individually in order to read its inscription.
Figure l illustrates a blank tag and shows the size and style of elliptical slot which I employ. Fig. 2 illustrates a tag attached to a watch by means of a string, the tag being pulled over the watch hook, and displaying the inscription of the watch tag in a rigid horizontal position. Y
I am aware that previous to my invention watch repair tags have been made with slots. These have attempted to dispense with the necessity of using strings for attaching the tag to the watch, and are made so as to slip the tag over the crown and the bowA of the watch. My invention is not, Jfor the purpose of dispensing with the string. I continue to use a string for attaching the tag to the watch.. My purpose is to permit by the use of a slot of a particular design and in a fixed position, the fastening of the watch repair tag to the hook from which the watch hangs suspended, in order that the contents of the tag may be easily read. I therefore do not claim broadly the use of any style of slot in a watch tag, but
I claim- A watch repair tag comprising a body portion of any suitable material, provided with an elliptically slotted hole, placed in the center of the tag, and running parallel to the long side of the tag, adapted to be pulled over the watch hook, and be held in a rigid horizontal position.
