kSPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 286,112, dated October 2, 1883.
Application filed August 17,1853. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE N. BUCK, of Mattoon7 in the county of Coles and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tag-Fasteners, of which the fol.-` lowing is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to fasteners for securing tags to rolls of cloth; and the-invcntion consists of the novel construction hereinafter described and claimed:
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tag and fastener showing my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a roll of cloth, showing the tag attached. thereto; and Fig. -3 is a side elevation of the roll of cloth, partly broken away and in section, showing the tag attached thereto, and alsoshowing, in dotted lines, the manner of inserting the fastener into the roll.
l The fastener A consists of a single piece of wire or other suitable material, which is doubled upon itself like a staple and inserted through the tag B, and then has its eXtreme ends a, which are pointed, bent up in the same direction with each other, and in a direction at right angles with the plane of its body or pron gs, to formcatches for holding the fastener in place. The prongs b,which incline outwardly at the ends, are thus adapted to be inserted between the folds of cloth in the roll C until the back of the tag is in contact with the end of roll, and as the ends a are inclined toward the tag, any outward movement of the fastener will cause the said ends to sink into the adjacent fold or folds of the cloth and prevent its acci dental withdrawal. The board D, upon which the roll of cloth is-counnonly wound, serves as a guide for the prongs b in the insertion of the saine under the central fold, c,- but where the roll is made up without such central board the folds, if very eoinpactly rolled, may be separated by the insertion ofa pencil between them to form an opening for the prongs, which latter are adapted to be sprung together to iit said opening.
In order that the tag B ymay be braced in a given position by the fasten er, and at thesame time be capable of being thrown into a plane parallel with the fastener, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, the loop el, which bears against the face of the tag, is bent up out ofthe plane of the prongs b approximately in the direction of the ends a. With such a construction the tag can be turned out of the way of the fingers to enable the fastener to be firmly grasped, so as not to tear or break the tag in attaching it to the goods, and when the fastener is nearly in position the tag may be allowed to drop into position at right angles to the fastener and be pressed up against the end of the roll. The tag will thus be held rigidlyin position by the contact of the roll with its back and that of the loop d with its face.
To hold the tag at the loop end of the fastener, the prongs b,after being inserted through the tag, are bent inward toward each other, as shown in Fig. l at e, andthe ends of the prongs are sprung apart to give them a better hold upon the cloth and prevent turning, as well as for the purpose above described.
I am aware that a wall-paper tag-fastener has been provided with ilaring prongs made of springy metal, adapted to be compressed together and inserted into the center of aroll of paper. I am also aware that such flaring prongs have been provided at their ends with hooks or bent points extended in opposite directions in the plane of the fastener or prongs. Such a construction, while perfectly adapted to a roll of cloth having a circular opening at the center, cannot well be used in a wide opening or next to a fiat board at the center of the roll, because the strain exerted upon the fastener bythe roll will cause it toturn into coincidence with the plane of the opening, and thus throw the hooks out of engagement with the cloth. In my invention the hooks are bent at right angles t'o the plane of the prongs, so that the plane of the prongs will lie in the plane of the opening when the points are in the cloth, and the contact of both prongs with the same fold of cloth or with the board will prevent the fastener from turning and disengaging the points.
The combination, with a tag, of a tag-fast` ener having two prongs, both ol" which are passed through the tag, and are provided with IOO ef l v 286.11m
