IDENTIFICATION DEVICE.
Application filed November 27, 1925. Serial No. 71,695.
i applying marks of identification to ticles of any description, but chiefly to abrics, articles of dress and wearing aprel.
The invention designed to eliminate the undesirable, objectionable, and ineradicable inscriptions upon articles, of indicia or, other distinguishin charactc 'cs at present generally resorted to by'laundries and allied establisln'neins, and the object of the invention is chiefly provide a sin'iple device by which each piece or article to be laundered may be quickly furnished with a convenient mark of identification, which mark may be quickly d" sociated from the articles, without in any wise injuring, marring or otherwise damaging the objects to which applied.
Another object of the invention is to provide a marking device for application to articles, which is provided with indicia of identification and. which indicia' are always legible and insured against erasure or other obliteration.
These and other objects will appear more fully from the subjoined specification in connection with the accompanying drawing, which is illustrative of a form in which my invention may be embodied, and in which- Fig. 1 is a perspective View showing my invention as applied to an article of wear.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my device.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the device provided with identifying means.
Fig. l is a plan view showing a blank prior to bending of same, and
Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the device prior to application to an article.
My invention broadly considered comprises a means adapted to be attached to the edge of garments, articles, fabrics or other objects, by flexible means which effects a strong bond, and may be readily severed when removal of the identifying marl; 18 desired. The device may be of no greater thickness than the goods or articles to which applied and lying wholly outside the area of the material, it produces no impression or other etlect upon the material or object to which attached when the objects are subjected to the pressure of the ironing operation.
A l assortment n'iay be made, and it has es-. reference to means of and method in themore specific sense, the invention is shown as con'iprising a thin piece 1 or metal or any other bendable or flexible material, as
l nen, or c, adapted to be attached to the edge of articles or garments by flexible means, for instance, by threads 2. For this purpose, the strip 1 of thin material is provided with openings 3through which the threads 2 may be, extended after having first passed preferably between the fold 'of the hem 1. These openings 3 are arranged prefi erably in a line and near the center of the strip 1, and penetrate the saddle 5 formed by bending the strip 1. When the strip 1 is bent, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4, one of the branches of'the bond is longer than the other,
and the portion c of the longer branch, which e. :ends beyond the shorter branch is bent over and upon the'shorter branch as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, whereby the threads 2 extended through the openings 3 in the saddle 5 and between the branches of the strip 1 are locked and thus prevent the device froin dissociation. As shown in Fig. 3, the strip 1 is provided with any desired designation 7, by which identification of the particular article to which the device is applied may be made. In applying the device to an article, the blank or strip 1 is first bent to the form illustrated in Fig. 5,
that is, with the respective branches separated and the row of openings 3 forming the line of bend or saddle. In this form, the at tachment of the device is made by sewing a thread or threads 2 through the edge of and into the fabric in the plane thereof and through the various openings 8 in the strip 1 to preferably such an extent that the ends thereof project beyond the longer branch of the bended strip 1 as shown in Fig. 5. Thereupon the branches of the bended strip 1 with the threads 3 interposed between them are pressed firmly toward each other, and the extended portion of the longer branch of the strip 1 folded over and upon the shorter branch, whereby the threads 3 are locked and held against dislocation by the bended lip or extension 8. In this manner the device is firmly, but flexibly or hingedly secured to the edge of an article and lies in substantially the same parallel plane. Being wholly outside the area of the object, no indentation, impression or other men]; will be made upon the goods when passing $111116 through laundering machinery.
Obviously any kind or form of stitch may be used for applying the device. A chain stitch may be desirable because the severance of but one thread is necessary to effect ready removal of the device, but any stitch obviously may be employed.
It will be understood that while reference to threads has been made herein as a means for attaching the device to objects, no limitation is thereby contemplated, since any means for attachment of the device to the edge of an object, so that the device lies substantially in the same parallel plane is included hereunder and within the spirit of my invention. It will also be understood that this invention is not limited to applying identification marks to articles of wear but includes the application of distinguishing indicia to any object, Where such application is practicable.
lVhat I claim, is:
1. An identifying device for articles of fabric, comprising in combination with such fabric, a strip of suitable material having identifying marks thereon and perforations intermediate the ends thereof, and means for attaching said strip to such fabric including threads passing through the edge of and into said fabric in the plane thereof,
said threads being interlocked With said fabric and extending through the perforations in said strip, and said strip being bent upon itself to form contacting parallel plane surfaces with the threads interposed and extended beyond said contacting surfaces, the contacting surfaces of said strip with the interposed threads being interlocked.
2. An identifying device for articles of fabric comprising a strip of suitable material containing identifying marks and perforations intermediate the ends thereof, and means for attaching said strip to the fabric comprising flexible means passing through the edge of and into said fabric in theplane thereof and interlocked with said material, said flexible means extending through the perforations in said strip, the strip being bent upon itself at the line of perforations to form contacting parallel plane surfaces with the flexible attaching means interposed between and extended beyond said contacting surfaces, the contacting surfaces with the interposed flexible means being interlocked.
In testimony whereof I have set my hand.
JOHN onmsmenn.
