TAG AND CORD FOR TEA BAGS Filed July 28, 1929 ATTOR N EY Patented Mar. 31, 1931 UNITED STATES HOWARD H. I). COOPIB, OF NEW YORK 11'. INC., 01' NEW YORK, N. Y., A
PATENT OFFICE TAG AND CORD FOB TEA BAGS Application filed July 28,
This invention relates .to tea bags and coacting strings and tags, the object being to provide a desired form of bag with a string and a tag capable of acting as a support when necessary without danger of entangling with cords and ta s of other bags.
Another 0 ject of the invention is to provide an improved form of tag for tea bags, wherein means are provided for gripping the supporting cord or string near the bag or at any desired point so as to hold the string from entangling with other strings when several bags are arranged ina carton.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bag, cord and tag disclosing an embodiment of the invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view through Figure 1 alpproximately on the line 2-2;
igure 3 is a plan view of the tag shown in Fi re 1.
eferring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a tea bag, 2 a tag and 3 a string or cord. The bag 1 may be of any desired kind or shape, although a square bag is a desirable form, as it permits the tea to be distributed over a considerable surface, and thereby quickly steeped. The cord 3 may be any desired kind of a cord and stitched or tied to the bag 1 preferably at the corner. This string is of a desired length and is secured at 4 by stitching or otherwise to the tag 2, which tag may be of any size and shape. Preferabl this tag is made from paper or cardboar and is provided with a slit 5 extendin preferably from the end opposite the stitc mg 4, although it could be made at some other point. T e edges produced by slit 5 act to inch the cord 3 when the cord is forced in t e slit, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Thus, the pinching or resilient action of the sections 6 and 7 holds the tag 2 to the cord 3 and preferably the tag 2 is engaged with the cord 3 near bag 1, although it could be engaged at a distant point. This use has desirab e results, as this arrangement of the tag 2 with slit 5 prevents tangling of the cords of several bags when arranged in a carton. Where the tag 2 is '0 not interlocked or engaged with the cord 1928. Serial No. 296,058.
, 3 near the base of cord 3, the tags and cords of several bags when in a carton often become entangled and when removing a bag the entangling of the cords causes several or all of the contents of the carton to be removed. One of the bags must be untangled, in order to be used, and this requires time. 1n restaurants and public places of eating it is desirable to have the bags, cords and the like so arranged that the bag may be quickly grasped and brought into use, as the period for dining is usually limited, and consequently, the restaurant keeper is desirous of serving as many patrons as possible.
What I claim is 1. A combined tea bag and cord comprising a bag body, a cord connected with the body, and a tag connected with the free end of the cord, the said tag being provided with a split at a point substantially diametrically opposite to where the cord is connected to the tag, the portions of the tag at each side of the said slit acting to grip said cord near where the cord joins the bag so as to prevent the cord from becoming entangled with other bags when several are positioned in a container.
2. A tea ball including a container, a cord attached at one end to said container and means carried bythe free end of the cord for separable engagement with said cord between its ends to shorten its length for the purpose specified.
3. A container having a cord attached thereto at one of its ends and a tag carried by the free end of the cord formed with a slit extending inwardly from one of its edges to provide means for detachable engagement with the cord between its ends as and for the purpose specified.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 26th day of July, A. D. 1928.
