SEAL-TAG FOR SEAL=LOCKS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,029, dated June 14, 1887.
Application filed April 20, 1887. Serial No. 235,513. No model.
To all whom t may concern.-
Beit known that I, Roemer M SULLY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Petersburg, in the county of Dinwiddie and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Seal-Tags for Seal-Locks, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a seal-tag especially adapted for use as a seal with that class of seal-locks which comprise a bolt having a hooked end 'and a lug perforated for passage of said bolt and provided with slits that intersect the perforations, said slits being adapted to receive a portion of the tag or seal after it has been attached to the bolt, whereby it is impossible to unfasten the lock or remove the seal without such mutilation of the latter as will unfailingly betray the act of unfastening the lock or the attempt to do so.
rlhe invention consists of a seal-tag cour posed of a thin metal plate or backing having two or more turned-over edges or flanges, and a paper or card board tag inserted beneath said flanges and held thereby, said plate and tag being provided with a hole sufficiently large to engage the hooked end ofthe bolt in a seal-lock, and with a line of perforations or indentatons near one edge to weaken the scaltag and facilitate its disengagement from the bolt by tearing. rlhc paper or card board tag will have delineated thereon the name of the railroad company or forwarding agents, the place of shipment, destination, and other information; and the metal plate orbacking will afford support and protection for such tag to preserve it from accidental injury 01 mutilation.
ln theannexed drawings, illustrating theinvcntion,Figure lis afacc view of my improved sealstag. Fig. 2 is a reverse view. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section. Fig. l is a view of the seal-tag as mutilated or torn by detaching it from the boltin the act of unfastcning the lock.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a thin metallic plate which forms the back or reverse side of the seal-tag, and 2, a paper or card board tag, which forms the face of the device. The upper and lower edges of the metallic plate are folded over in the shape of flanges 3, to retain the paper slip or card 2 in place, and, if desired, the side edges of the plate l may be folded ovcrin like manner; but I prefer the construction shown as being more simple and affording a sufficient and reliable means for holding the card in place.
Adjacent to the inner edge of the upper Harige the plate l and card 2 are perforated to form a large hole, 4, and along the inner edge of this flange and intersecting the hole4 is also a line of smaller perforations or indentations, 5, through the plate and card.
The hole 4 serves for engaging the hooked end of a bolt in a seal-lock, and the transverse line of perforations or indentations 5 provides a weak point for severing both the metal and card portion of the sealtag to dc tach it from the lock.
On the face of the card 2 is the name of the railroad company, the shipping-point, the destination, and other customary information.
Then attached to a seal-lock of a character to which it is adapted, this seal-tag will afford an effective safeguard against surreptitious unfastening of the lock, the tag or card will be protected from accidental injury, and yet conveniently exposed to View, andin order to readily break the seal it will only be necessary to tear the device along the line of pcrfora tions or indentations.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim isd l. A seal-tag for seal`locks, consisting of a metallic backing-plate, 1, and a tag, 2, secured to one face ofthe plate and having adjacent to one edge a line of perforatious or indentations, 5, forming a weakened line to detach the sealtag from the lock, said plate and said tag being both perforated, as at 4, to engage the bolt of a seal-lock, substantially as described.
2. A seal-tag for seal-locks, composed of a thin vmetal plate having folded-over edges or flanges and a tag confined beneath said Hanges, said plate and tag being provided with a perforation to engage the bolt of a seal-lock, and with a line of perforations or indentations to break the seal and detach the device from the lock, substantially as described.
In testimony whereofl have aflixed my' sigA nature in presence o'f two witnesses.
