MAKING UP OR TICKETING OF PIECE GOODS Filed Dec. 16, 1927 Patented Aug. 13, 1929.

UNITED STATES JAMES EDWARD TOD, OF CHEADLE, ENGLAND;

MAKING-UP R TICKETING OF PIECE GOODS.

Application filed December 16, 1927, Serial No. 240,599, and in Great Britain December 21, 1926.

This invention relates to the making up or ticketing of textile piece goods.

Textile piece goods are usually made up in "rolls having a ticket printed with the brand,

maker or merchants name and address, or'

other desired matter secured to the outer fold by means of an adhesive for display purposes. 7

lVith certain kinds of fabric the attach- 1o ment of the ticket in such manner is objectionable by causing damage to the fabric on removal and the main objects of the present invention are to apply piece goods tickets to the made up fabric without adhering to the fabric and provide a form of piece goods ticket which can be subsequently utilized for the purpose of advertisement either in the form of a show card or as a ticket with a gummed or gelatinized face for attachment to a glass window or door.

According to the present invention, piece goods are made up into rolls, usually with a board in the centre for stiffening purposes, but instead of the end of the fabric 1 ing flat on the roll, a box pleat is formed in t e fabric extending the full width of the same near the end, and so as to lie centrally of one of the broad sides hereinafter termed the front of the roll.

A piece goods ticket having the brand and/or other desired information printed or otherwise impressed thereon is roduced of a width equal to the box pleat ut with extending side edges adapted to be folded over to form flanges to pass under the flanges produced by the box pleat to secure the ticket in position. The face of the ticket may be gummedor formed with a gelatinized surface so that after serving its purpose as a piece goods ticket it can be utilized for advertisement purposes by attachment to a glass window or door, or it may be used as a stand up display card, the flan es serving as a stand or strut to support t e same. The made up roll is bound with tape or the like in the usual or other and convenient manner either before or after the ticket has been placed in position on the pleat.

If desired, a pleat may be formed at both the front and back of the roll to receive complemental tickets and instead of foldin over the sides of the latter the sides may e extended and slitted to form tongues which may pass under the folds of the pleat. Said slits may be of a character such that the tongues or projections will also constitute Figure 2 is a front View of one form of the improved ticket of which Figure 8 is an end view while Figure 4 is an end View of the roll of fabric prepared ready to receive the ticket. Figure 5 is a detail view showing the ticket 1n the act of being applied to the roll.

Figures 6 and 7 show front and rear views respectively of the ticket in use as a standup display card while I Figure 8 is a detail View of a modified form of the ticket adapted for use as a display card to be hung up.

Figure 9 is a front View of the improved ticket showing modified means for securing the same in position on the roll.

In carrying the invention into effect, piece goods are lapped on a drum or board a in the usual or other and convenient manner, but instead of the end of the fabric lying flat, so as to produce a plain roll a box leat b ISTOI'IIlBd in the last convolution o the fabric 0 extending to the full width of the same, and so as to lie cent-rally of the front of the roll as clearly seen in Figure 1.

The piece goods ticket all having the brand and/or other desired information printed or otherwlse impressed thereon is formed with turned over side edges forming flanges e adapted to pass under the flanges b of the box pleat b, Figures 3 and 4 showing the tlcket above the roll ready for insertion, while Figure 5 shows one flange e inserted below the pleat b and the second flange 6 ready for insertion and Figure 1 shows the ticket secured in position with the roll of fabric bound with tape ready for the retailer.

The ends a of the ticket flanges e are cut to an angle so that when said ticket is removed from the roll said flanges e may be used to form struts to support the ticket as shown in Figures 6 and 7 in which position the ticket constitutes a stand-up display card.

The front face of the ticket is gummed or formed with a gelatinized surface or the corners are so gummed or formed as shown at f Figure 2 so that after being re moved from the roll, the flanges 6 can be cut or torn off and the ticket gummed to a glass (1005' orwindow to serve as a stick-on display car 7 Instead of or in addition to the adhesive matter applied to the front of the ticket, said ticket may be provided with eyelets 9 see Figure 8, so that it can hang on a wall 7 or other fixture.

Instead of the fold over flanges e the improved ticket may be slit as shown by the lines It Figure 9 so that the flanges z are formed by pushing the same inwards about the dotted lines it to allow the ticket to be secured on the pleated roll as in the previous example, the bottom edge of the slit being shaped so that the flanges can be used as struts when it is desired to use the card as a stand-up display card as above described. By these means piece goods tickets are applie to made-up piece goods in a manner which will obviate unintentional de- 'tachments without damaging the fabric and which may be applied to the roll repeatedly after portions have been removed therefrom and/or which are ultimately available as show or display cards.

What I claim is Textile piece goods made up in rolls, with one or more box pleats formed in the last convolution of the fabric in combination with a piece goods ticket or tickets formed with flanges to engage the flanges of the pleat or pleats for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification at Manchester this 2nd day of December, 1927.

JALTES EDWARD TOD.
