0. E. BRIGEL TAG AND TAG HOLDING APPARATUS Filed Oct. 29, 1925 Patented Oct. 21, 1924.
UNITED STATES CHARLES E. BRIGEL, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
TAG AND TAG-HOLDING APPARATUS.
Application filed. October 29, 1928. Serial No. 671,257.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES E. BRIGEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tags and Tag- Holding Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in tag and tag-holding apparatus. One of its objects is to provide an improved tag-holder foruse in groceries, and other retail stores,
and for similar purposes. Another object is to provide a tag-holder having improved means to apply and retain it in position. Another object is to rovide an improved tag and tag-holder a apted to disclose to the purchaser and dealer the sales price of the article, and to contain for the benefit of the dealer other information, such for instance, as the cost price and date of purchase. Another object is to provide a tagholder having improved means to detach or readjust the same.
My invention also comprises certain details of form and combination and arrangement of components, all of which will be fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a flat sheet metal blank from which to produce my improved tag-holder.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the finished tag-holders ready to receive a. tag.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a tag showing the normally exposed face thereof.
Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the tag of Fig. 3 showing the reverse face thereof.
Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a portion of shelving of a retail store with the goods and price tags and holders in place thereon.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the preferred embodiment of my invention in which 15 represents a price tag exposing the retail price 16 upon one face 17 thereof which face 17 is normally exposed to the prospective customers. The opposite or rear face 18 of the tag is desi ed to have marked thereon the cost price of the article and the date of purchase thereof and if desired other and further data of interest and service to the dealer, and readily and quickly available by detaching the price card from its holder and consulting the rear face thereof.
The tag-holders are preferably constructed from sheet metal by first stamping flat sheet metal blanks 20, having two main sections 21 and 22 to be subsequently bent to sub stantially right angles along the dotted line 23 and three projections 24, 25 and 26 to be bent over and inwardly substantially parallel with the face of section 22 to form therewith a pocket 27 to receive and detachably hold' one of the price tags 15. By miterin the edges of the projections 24, 25 and 26 in the blank Fig. 1, the edges of the projections meet at 28 and ,29 to provide smooth close joints. Also by mitering the section 21 at the ends of the dotted line 23, sharp or ragged corners on the section 21 are avoided, also the operation of die-cutting the blank Fig. 1 is facilitated.
In operation a series of tag-holders are placed along the horizontal shelves 30 upon which the goods to be sold are to be arranged for display and sale. The rear face of each section 22 of the tag-holders rests in avertical position close against the front edge of the shelf 30 while the section 21 occupies a horizontal position upon the top face of the shelf 30, while a portion of the cans or other goods 32 to be sold rests upon the upper face of section 21 and serve to firmly hold the sections 21 and 22 in place with reference to the shelf 30. The tags 15 are interchangeably supported in the pockets in front of the sections 22 normally with their faces 17 exposed. Each tag may be readily removed from its pocket by the dealer if desired in order to examine the data upon the rear face 18 of the tag.
The section 21 may be of different shape and proportion relative to section 22, but is preferably of suflicient size and weight to serve the purpose of retaining the pocket section 22 in place with reference to the shelf.
The apparatus herein shown, and described is capable of considerable modification without departing from the spirit of my invention.
What I claim is:
1. An article of manufacture comprising a tag-holder formed from a rectangular piece of sheet metal by notching its side edges and clipping its two forward corners and folding the forward edge and the side edges to said notches upon the face of the main section to form a tag receiving pocket, said main section being bent at right angles along a. line from the apex on one of said notches to the apex of the opposite notch to form a substantially vertical section to rest against the front edge of a shelf and a substantially horizontal section to rest upon the upper face of the shelf and serve to retain the pocket section in place with reference to the shelf.
2. A11 article of manufacture comprising a ta -holder of angular cross section having a su stantially ve tical tag-holding element and a substantially horizontal retaining element adapted to rest upon the upper face of a shelf, and to be retained in lace with reference to the shelf by means 0 a Weight resting upon the upper face of said retaining element a tag receiving and supporting pocket being formed on said vertical section by forming notches in the side edges at the upper edges of said vertical section and clipping the lower corners of said vertical section and folding inwardly the side margins and the bottom margin upon the main portion of said vertical section to form a tag receiving pocket.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto afiixed my signature.
CHARLES E. BRIGEL.
