GEORGE W. MGGILL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SUSPENDlNG-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,849, dated November 22, 1881.

(No model.)

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. MGGILL, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at New York city, in the county ot'New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Suspendiug-Rings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of my invention is to produce a cheap and strong device for suspending 'or hanging cards or other prints upon hooks or nails; and it consists in uniting a metal ring or loop with a paper base, to be attached to the card 0r print to be suspended, by inucilage, glue, or any suitable adhesive substance, in such manner that the metal ring will turn upon a hinge between it and the paper base or body. The ring or loop, heilig made of metal, is not liable to be fractured or abraded by the nail or hook on which it may he hung, and, being hinged to its paper base, it may be turned down upon the card or print to allow the same t0 `be neatly packed for transportation or mailed.

In making the device both its metallic ring or loop and its paper base are susceptible of receiving a variety of forms, some of the more approved of which are shown in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents the paper base or body ot' the device in blank, shaped like the letter H.

The metallic ring or loop A is placed upon the central band, b, of the paper blank, and the arms B B of the blank are pasted to the back and front, respectively, of the card or print to he suspended, as shown in Fig. 2, wherein C represents the upper portion ofthe card or print.

Fig. 3 represents a vertical cross-section ot' Fig. 2, taken ou line m of that figure.

Fig. 4 represents a vertical cross-section of Fig..2, in which case the arms B B, instead of being pasted one on each side of the card, are pasted together and attached to one side only of the card.

Fig. 5 represents a form of the device with one-half of the paper body removed to exhibit a peculiar form of the metallic ring, wherein the latter is provided at its base with a loop,

ct, through which the center band, b, is passed, the object of this formation ot' the ring being to hold in position the paper base before the device is put in use by being pasted to a card.

Fig. 6 represents the'paper base of the device, shaped like the letter T inverted. The head of the T is provided with two parallel slits, d d, forming a baud or strap, al.

rIhe tongue D is passed through the ring and then through the slits d d under the strap d', and drawn down so as to bring the bottoin of the ring to the top ofthe arm B. The arm B and the end of the tongue D are then pasted to the back of the card or print to be hung, as shown in Fig. 7.

Fig. Sis a vertical cross-section of Fig. 7, taken on line y y of that figure.

Fig. 9 represents the paper base of the device shaped as .it is in Fig. l, and provided with a slit, e c, and center hole, c. The object ol' this slit and hole is to admit the use of a ring formed as shown in Fig. l0, wherein the ring is shown in position in the paper base, the front half of the latter being removed to exhibit the construction. The ring part or foot of the same is run through the'slit c in the paper base, so that its feet g g will occupy the fold of the band b and its neck h the hole e. The object of this construction is similar to that of the construction shown in Fig. 5- to wit, to hold the ring in position in the paper base before the same is attached to a card.

That part of the side or sides of the paper base which is to be pasted to the card or print may be coated with mucilage, so that in applying the device to a card the mere wetting ofthe mucilage-coated part will cause the device to adhere as desired.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A suspending device having its suspending ring or loop made of metal and its base or attaching part of paper provided with an adhesive coating, and the two parts hinged together, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony whereofI I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE W. MCGILL.
