JNPEESSES: V INVENTOR NITER BTnTEs PATENT Error...
HIRAM B. RREwsrER, oE GENTBALIA, ILLINOIS.
TAG-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,785, dated January 13, 1885. Application filed October 6, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HIRAM B. BREwsrER, of Gentralia, in the county of Marion and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tag Fasteners; 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 pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to tag-fasteners, the object being to provide a device of this character which may be manufactured at the minimum expense, and which will permit the ready renewal of the tag.
A further object of the invention is to construct a tag-fastener of flat metal, to prevent its turning after being inserted into a roll or package of goods.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tag-fastener with barbs'so arranged as v to prevent the fastener from working too far into the goods.
The invention consists in a tag-fastener formed of a flat metallic strip provided with integral barbs, as hereinafter fully described.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a pen spective view of my improvement with a tag applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modification, and Fig. 3 shows a different form of eye for attaching the tag.
A represents a strip of thin metal, preferably tin or sheet-iron, bent upon itself at one end to form an eye or loop, B, toengage atag, C. One edge of the strip A is formed with a series of inclined slits or cuts, D, thus forming integral barbs E. The opposite edge of the strip is slit or cut at an inclination opposite to the slits D, to form a series of barbs, F. Thus the barbs E and F project from opposite edges of the strip, and the contact of their points with the material to which the fastener is applied prevents the withdrawal of the latter.
It will be apparent that the tag 0 may be readily disengaged when necessary.
The free end of the fastener may be formed either pointed, round, or square, as preferred.
Adjacent to the tag end of the fastener are formed two barbs, G G, whose points extend in a direction opposite to those of the barbs E and F. These barbs G G effectually prevent the fastener from working too far into the goods to which it is applied.
It will be apparent that the flat form of the fastener prevents its turning after application to the goods, and the barbs insure the retention of the fastener against accidental dis placement.
As illustrated in Fig. 2, instead of forming the series of barbs on the edges of the strip they may be punched out of the body of the latter, in which instance they will be oppositely arranged with relation to each other, substantially as shown and above described.
In lieu of the bent eye B, the strip may be punctured to form an eye, as in Fig. 3, or the eye may be omitted entirely.
- Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, :is
l. A tag-fastener consisting of a strip formed at one end with an eye or opening to receive the tag, with oppositely-projecting barbs to prevent the withdrawal of the strip, and also formed near its outer end with inwardly-projecting barbs, substantially as set forth.
2. A tag-fastener consisting of a metallic strip formed at one end with an eye to engage a tag, and havingits edges formed with oppositely inclined barbs, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I
HIRAM B. BREWSTER.
