MS FOR ATTACING LABELS TO SPOOLS OR OTHER ARTICLES.-
hppllcation died April 28, 1923. Serial No. 885,842.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ILLIAM A. PRENTISS, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Holyoke, county of Hampden, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Attaching Labels to Spools or Other Articles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in devices for attaching a label as to'the head or s ool end of spools, preferably metal spoo s which are designed for winding wire or other material thereon.
l-leretofore, the usual practice has been to attach the label by pasting a piece of par or cardboard onto the ends of the spool heads. This has been found to be objectionable, since the labels soon become soiled and detached. lhe pasting of labels on articles made of various materials, such as wood'or metal, is often undesirable since as the aste idries the label often becomes displace and ost.
The present invention broadly comprises a label member which is formed oi paper, cardboard, or other material of suitable thickness and elasticity with a radial slit or a V-shaped notch out in the edge of the disk of aer or other material which extends radla y toward'the center, whereby the label may be bent or folded into a cone shaped position and thenthe edges placed under the crimped or bent over e gas of the spool or 1 other article when the normal elastlcity of the label will cause it to return to its original position and be thus retained in place. The same result may be obtained by removing a segment shaped portion from the dis shaped material or label as will be fully' described.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a sectional view partially in section of a spool of theusual construction hav: ing the ends of the s 001 bent or crimped over to form an annu ar channel and showing in dotted lines the way the label is inserted.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the disk shaped label with a radial slit therein.
2 Fig. 3 is a view of the disk shown in Fig.
insertion into the annular channel of the spool head.
Fig. 4 illustrates the insertion of the disk vmaterial may then be readily slipped into 110 folded into a cone shape ready for shaped label in which the edges have been cut away by removing a segment shaped por- 1 tlon.
Fig. dis a view of one of the disks showing the same with portions of its edges removed. I,
Fig. 6 illustrates how the label, shown in Fig. 5, is folded when it is ready for insertion.
Fig. 7 is a detail view of another form in which a V-sha ed notch is cut or a portion of the materia removed from the disk permigting it to be folded as shown in Fig. 2, an I Fig. 8 is a view showing its folded position.
Referring to the drawings in detail:
The barrel part of a spool for receiving .wire is indicated at 1 and the end of the spool on which the label is placed is indicated at 2 having the orimped or bent over edge 3 forming the annular channel 4. This is the usual construction of the spool end or head of a metal spool. 5 designates a disk oi stifi paper cardboard or other material on which the label or readin matter is printed or dis layed. This dis is formed with a radial s it 6, ermitting the cardboard to be bent or folded into the cone-shape indicated in Fig. 3, since the ed es of the slit 6 will permit the same to pass. y each other as shown in dotted lines in Fi 2 at 6' and the direction of the folded on s is indicated by the arrows 7 as readily understood. The dotted circle line 8 shows the diameter of the cone shaped member which is, of course, less than its original diameter as shown in full lines in Fig. 2. This diameter is such that the go of the disk be easily moved past the turned over ed 0 3' and into the annular groove 4 of the end 2. The
natural elasticit of the disk is such that it 'will automatical y assume the position shown in Fig. 1 in full lines.
Referring to Fig. 5. 9 designates a disk shaped pieceof stifi paper, cardboard or other material having the segment shaped portions 10 removed as indicated .by the.
As this is ess than the the annular channel 4 as indicated in Fig. 4 since the removed segment portions will not interfere with the insertion. The folded piece of this disk isindicated in Fig. 6. The edges 13 and 14- of Fig. 5 appear in this figure as slightly curved in order to show.
the curvature or folded position of this form of label.
Fig. 7 represents another form in which the disk 5 is formed with a cut out portion 15. This permits it to be folded into the cone shaped position shown in Fig. 8 similar to that shown in Fig. 3, whereby the label may be-readily inserted. The size, of the cut-out portion may be varied of course.
From this description it will be seen that I have provided a simple way of attaching alabel to the spool head or end of a metal spool or other article and one that will be easily and readily replaced and'other labels attached bearing the desired reading matter.
What I claim is:
1. A label member consisting of suitable elastic material k which is formed with 'a radially arranged opening to permit the label to be bent into substantially a cone shaped position for reducing its normal diameter, whereby the reduced diameter will permit the label to pass within a crimped over edge of a spool end and will then expand when released and its edge will occupy the annular channel of the edge which represents the normal diameter of the label before being bent. v
2. A label for the purpose described, comprising an elastic member, as cardboard or the like, having a radial slit cut therein, whereby the disk may be formed into a cone shaped position for insertion into an annular channelway, as described.
insane-e 3. An article of manufacture comprising a disk-shaped member which isformed with a portion of its edge removed to permit it to be bent so as to lessen its normal diameter on the edge that is not removed or cut away, whereby it may be bent and inserted' into an annular channel having an overlapping edge, the normal elasticity of the disk permitting it to assume its original position after being bent and be thereby retained in the annular channel.-
4. As an article of manufacture, a disk shaped member composed of elastic material and formed with a removed portion to permit it to be bent into a position which decreases its normal diameter for insertion into an opening of less diameter than its normal size, said opening having an annular recess larger than the opening, whereby when the member is moved through the opening it will regain its original size to prevent its becoming displaced from the re:
cess.
5. As an article of manufacture, a disk shaped member composed .of elastic mate ti I disk shape and formed with a radially arranged opening to permit it to be bent into,
a cone-shaped form for inserting its edge into the annular channel whereby its natural elasticity will cause it to assume its original shape with its edge in the said channel and under the crimped-over edge.
