W'ILLIAII I). vPATTON, OF HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
TAG OR LABEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,799, dated March 25,` 1884.
` Application filed February 21,1884. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WM. I). PATTON, of the city of Harrisburg, county of Dauphin, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Address Tag or Label; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and
` exact description of the same,reference being preferably, of wood, though it may be made had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View, showing the tag or label secured to the cord designed to attach it to a bag or other article. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the tag and cord. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the line c of Fig. 2, with the parts inposition to securely hold the tag to the cord. Fig. 4 is a perspective view with a portion of the tag cut away, to show the ready means for releasing the cord retained in the holding parts of the tag; and Fig. 5 shows the details of each part of the construction. t
My invention relates to a ready and cheap Vmeans for addressing bags, bales, boxes, or
packages of anydescription, but more particularly to the means of addressing governmental mail-bags, and has for `its object to provide a tag which is readily attachable, impossibly removable accidentally, readily removable' purposely, and exceedingly economical in production.
My invention consists in a tag-body made,
of any desired material, having a recess in one end to receive a holding-cord or similar device, and a securing-hook pivoted in a plane at right angles to the said recess, and adapted to seize and hold said cord when laid in the recess, all of which will be hereinafter fully described, and specically vset out in the claims.
In order that those skilled in the art may make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried it out.
In the said drawings, A is' the tag-body, adapted to receive any imprint or address. Into one end of this billet or tag I eut a recess, a, of width adapted to receive the cord B, with which the device is to be securedto the bag, bale, orparcel. In the same end of the tag with recess a, and at right angles to it, I cut a slit or saw-kerf, b, of greater depth than recess a. At a point, C, within the kerf b is pivoted a flat hook, D, which, in moving around its. pivotal point, passes back and forth across the recess a. It will be observed particularly that the pivotal point of the hook is placed forward of or to one side of the center of recess or opening a, for apurpose hereinafter set forth, and also that the pivotal point is of which is firmly attached to the mail-bag and the free end provided with a knot or enlargement of any kind, g, formed thereon. The
conformation of the interior of Athe bight of hook D is in lines about parallel to the exterior lines-that is to say,'the line e e is diagonal to thelineff.
In order to apply the label, the knot g-of the cord is grasped by the left hand of the bperator and the tag grasped in the right hand.
The tag is then forced down on the cord-body so the cord will enter recess a, and as it passes in the cord comes in Contact with the diagonal face or edge e e of the hook and causes the hook to recede, so. that the cord passes beyond or within the point of the hook. By a pressure of the thumb on the back of the hook D-that is, on the line f f, now protruding from the kerf or slit b--the hook is thrown over the cord and the back edge brought flush with the body of thel tag. A sharp, quick pull on the cord or on the tag will then cause the hook to bite or bind the cord tightly. This is caused bythe peculiar manner of constructing the hook and pivoting, it in the manner and position hereinbefore stated.
To remove the tag, the knotted end of the cord is drawn away' from the side of the ta (see Fig. 4) and the cord doubled back so that its body rests inthe end of recess a upon the outer inclined edge of hook D, and by pressing down or pulling upon this turned-back portion of v.the cord it acts on the inclined edge e e and forces the hook back through the slit or kerf from over the cord7 and allows it to be withdrawn.
In use upon ordinary mail-bags, if the cord roo especially designed to hold the tag be removed by any accident, the tag obviously can be instantly attached to the draw-string of the bag.
Considerable economy can beattained in the consumption of cordage in the use of this tag, as Will be quite apparent to those accustomed to using such articles.
New tags can be rapidly and economically constructed under my invention, and those now generally in use in the mail service can be quickly altered by Well-known Wood-Work- -ing machinery, and the hooks employed can be struck by dies from sheet metal of the de- Y y sired thickness.
Having thus described inyinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is ias and for the purpose set forth.
