'rnonms I. HART, or s'r. LOUIS, mrssotrnr.
TAG.
Application filed May 1, 1920. Serial No. 378,290.
To all whom it ma concern:
Be it known that ,THoMAs I. HART, a citizen of the United States of America, a resident of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements'in Tags, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to tags and has for for its object the production of a tag adapted to be attached to the cord of a second tag without unfastening the cord from the article to which it is secured.
It is the practice in many stores, particularly where furniture and other household articles are sold, to attach a tag to each article in stock upon which various information for the use of'the salesmen is given, such as the house number of that particular article and its price. It is also the practice in these stores to attach a second tag to each article after the said article has been sold. This second tag has the word sold printed upon its face, and is used to preclude the possibility of an article being sold by difi'erent salesmen to more than one customer.
With the foregoing in mind my invention contemplates the use of a secondary tag which can be readily attached to the cord of the original tag and will be securely held thereby, thus keeping the two tags together and eliminating the possibility of the said secondary tag being overlooked by subsequent salesmen.
Fig. I is a face view of my improved tag.
II is an edge elevation partly in section, of the tag shown in Fig. I.
In the drawings A indicates the body portion of a tag which is provided with a cord receiving hole B. A reinforcing member C comprising a perforated disc which surrounds the hole. B acts to prevent the cord from which the ta is. suspended from cutting through the cardboard at that point. An 0 en-ended cord passageway 1, one end of w ich terminates at oneof the edges of the tag, and the other end terminating at the hole B provides a means whereby the tag may be suspended from a cord without passing the end of the cord through the said It will be assumed that an article to which the ordinary house tag is attached, is sold and it is desired to attach a secondary tag. The cord of the original tag is passed through the cord passageway 1 until it has entered the hole B in which position the said tag will be suspended with the original tag from' the 'cord of the last mentioned tag. When the tag is suspended as just described, there is very little likelihood of its becoming disengaged as the weight of'the said tagwill cause the pull to be in'a direction away from the point where the slot 1 enters the hole B, and because plenty of material surrounds the said hole B the tag has not been weakened to a very great extent by the cutting of the slot 1.
By referring to the drawing, it will be thest from the cord receiving end of the tag, a
so there is very little liability of the tag being accidentally pulled from the cord. The indirect cord-passageway 1, leading from an end edge of the tag to the inlet 2, may be approximately in the form of a I, so as to prevent accidental release of -the tag Ielvelan 1tghough the cord is displaced from the By forming the relatively wide passageway 1 with the converging restricted inlet 2, I provide a tag in which the cord can be very easily passed through the wide portion of the passageway and thereafter forced through the restricted inlet 2 by merely pulling the tag downwardly relative to the cord loop which is usually hanging from an article of furniture, or other merchandise. After the tag has been secured in this manner, the cord loop is securely held in the hole B, for it cannot readily pass out through the restricted inlet 2. The simple tag is thus securely anchored to the cord, and this is highlv important, for the device would be practically useless if the tag could be accidentally removed in the ordinary handling of the merchandise to which it is attached. I claim: 1 A tag provided with a reinforcing washe provided with a cord-receiving hole, said vided with an approximately J-shaped and washer being located adjacent to an end relatively wide cord receiving passageway edge of the tag and the portion of the leading from said end edge of the tag to 10 Washer which lies furthest from said end said restrict-ed inlet opening.
5 edge having a tapering slot to provide a re- In testimony that I claim the foregoing I stricted inlet opening for the admission of hereunto aflix my signature. the cord to said hole, said tag being pro THOMAS I. HART.
