PACKAGE FOR STRIP LABELS Filed Jan. 27, 1939 i us no! I I I i Patented May 21, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PACKAGE FOR STRIP LABELS Application January 27, 1939, Serial No. 253,184
5 Claims.
This invention relates to packaging device and more particularly to a device for packaging name strip labels commonly used for identifying garments.
These name labels are ordinarily manufactured in strips slightly over a foot in length and each comprising a plurality of individual name labels which can be cut off as desired and applied to garments.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved and simplified device in which a plurality of such strips can be efliciently packed for shipment and in which they can be retained and preserved without soiling by the user and can be readily identified as to the content of the package without opening the same.
Other objects and advantages will more fully appear in the course of the following detailed description.
The invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combinations of parts hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.
One sheet of drawings accompanies this specification as part thereof in which like reference characters indicate like parts throughout.
Figure 1 is a plan view of the assembled device;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the assembled device except for the outer envelope;
Figure 3 is a transverse cross sectional View taken on line 33 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the end closures; and
Figure 6 is a plan view of the supporting card unfolded.
Figure 7 is a plan view of a part of a holdin card showing a modified construction of prong members.
Figure 8 is a transverse cross sectional view taken on line 88 of Fig. 7.
Referring to the drawing: The improved package comprises a strip holding card I associated with two end closure envelopes 9 and an allenclosing envelope I0. These three major elements will be described separately in order.
The supporting card I is preferably formed from cardboard or the like and is rectangular in shape and of a length substantially twice that of the all-enclosing envelope III. The card I is provided with a plurality of struck-up prong members 2 arranged longitudinally of the card in spaced parallel lines. The card I is provided with transverse fold lines 3-3 each spaced onequarter of the length of the entire card from the respective ends thereof and on these fold lines 3-3 are provided a plurality of cut-out windows 4, said windows being spaced and arranged in alignment with the respective lines of prong 5 members 2, so that when the card I is folded upon itself on the lines 33 the cut-out windows 4 provide notches at each end of the folded card in alignment with the respective lines of the prong members. Preferably the prongs 2 are 10 arranged in each line in pairs of two, their being in each line two prongs upon each end portion of the card and two prongs in the middle portion of the card, and these pairs of prongs are preferably spaced apart a distance slightly greater 15 than the length of an individual name label. In this manner a plurality of name label strips, each substantially the length of the supporting card I, can be arranged in groups, each group being positioned uider the prongs of a line of prongs and 20 when the card is folded upon itself the folds of each group of strip labels will be secured in the notches formed by windows 4 as illustrated.
In the modified form of invention illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8, the prong members 2 are each provided with a much smaller oppositely disposed struck-out prong member I5 so that the label strips can be secured between prong members 2 and I5 and thus secured against withdrawal except in a longitudinal direction.
Where the particular consignment of name labels are to be delivered to the same person whose name has been woven into the strip labels it will be apparent that it will only be necessary to type upon the face of the all-enclosing envelope In the partys post oflice address and after 55 receipt the package can be retained and will readily disclose at all times the nature of the contents thereof by reason of the label appearlng behind the window.
Various modifications will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art but within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
Having fully described my invention I claim:
1. A holder for name strip labels comprising a card having prongs struck therefrom under which the labels can be positioned, said prongs arranged in a horizontal row and two of the prongs spaced apart the length of a name on a label, with slip end covers in the form of envelopes each having a back extending beyond its mouth adapted to removably embrace the card and assembled strip labels at each end whereby the part of the label between said specified prongs will be exposed when the extended backs of the envelopes abut over the card and labels.
2. The structure of claim 1 in which the card is provided with transverse folds defining end parts each one-half the length of the central part and in which the prongs are arranged in a plurality of horizontal rows, with at least two prongs of each row on the middle and each end part of the card and the card provided with polygonal cut-out windows two for each horizontal row of prongs and positioned at the lines of fold in said card.
3. A holder for name strip labels comprising a card having prongs struck therefrom under which the labels can be positioned, said prongs arranged in a horizontal row and two of the prongs spaced apart the length of a name on a label, with slip end covers in the form of envelopes adapted to embrace the card and assembled strip labels at each end each envelope having a back extending beyond the mouth thereof in which the card is provided with transverse folds defining end parts each one-half the length of the central part and in which the prongs are arranged in a plurality of horizontal rows, with at least two prongs of each row on the middle and each end part of the card and the card provided with polygonal cut out windows two for each horizontal row of prongs and positioned at the lines of fold in said card with a sheet of transparent material such as Cellophane and an envelope provided with a Window, each of substantially the size of the intermediate part of the card.
4. A holder for name strip labels comprising a rectangular card having transverse lines of fold defining end parts each one-half of the length of the intermediate part and having prongs struck therefrom in a line extending lengthwise of the card at least one prong of said line of prongs in each end part and at least two of said prongs in the intermediate part and said card having windows cut out over each line of fold in alignment with the line of prongs.
5. A holder for name strip labels comprising a card having prongs struck therefrom under which the labels can be positioned, said prongs arranged in a horizontal row and each prong having a smaller prong struck therefrom, the free ends of each main and subordinate prong oppositely disposed.
