BADGE.

Application filed July 7,

My invention relates to that class oi' badges in which it has been the practico to sew a ribbon to the cross bar ot a badge, having a pin attached to said cross bai" for holding the badge to the apparel of a person.

It is the objectoi' my invention to dispense with the sewing of the ribbon to the cross bar, and at the saine time produce a cheap and neat badge.

My invention consists br adly in forming the cross bar of a single piece of thin metal, zit each end of which are formed penetrating teeth for engaging the ribbon, a claini'iing flange for holding a pin of the so called safety pin type7 in position on said cross ber, between longitudinal ribs formed for the purpose, and recessed slots and shoulders in seid cross bar formed at either end tor the reception and retention of said pin, and in other details of construction inore fully explained and claimed.
