GUSTAV NITHACK, OF OBERNIGK, NEAR BRESLAU, GERMANY.

LABEL-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters :Patent N0. 480,857, dated August 16, 1892.

Application filed November 18, 1891. Serial No. l112.253. (No model.)

-To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, GUsTAv NITHACK, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and a resident of Obernigk, near Breslau, in Germany, have invented a new and useful Improvelnent in Label- Holders for Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved device for rapidly attaching labels to the necks of bottles Without the use of strings or adhesives.

It consists in the various featuresy of improvement more fully pointed outin the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a Vertical central section on line O 0, Fig. 3; Fig. 2, an elevation of a bottle provided with the holder and showing the label as itis first introduced; Fig. 3, a cross-section on line S S, Fig. l; Fig. 4, a view similar to Fig. 2, but with the holder revolved; Fig. 5,a view similar to Fig. l,with the rubber band D released; Fig. 6, a front View of Fig. 5; Fig. 7, an enlarged vertical central section of Fig. 5; Fig. 8, a face view of the holder detached; Fig. 9, a face view of a modification; Fig. 10, a vertical central section thereof; Fig. 11, a face view of a further modication; Fig. 12, a plan thereof; Fig. 13, a side View of a bottle provided with this modification; Fig. 14, a longitudinal section thereof with the label inserted; Fig. 15, a side view thereof with the holder revolved; and Fig. 16, a cross-section on line P P, Fig. 15.

The letter A represents the holder proper, which in Figs. 1 to 8 is shown to be composed of a U-shaped bail or frame of wire having the ends bent to form eyes a. These eyes are made to embrace a rubber band D, slipped over the neck of the bottle C. The label E is made of tapering form and is slipped into the holder between the bandD and the cross-arm between band and bottle-neck until it finally v arrives in a position below and parallel to the band, Fig. 7. The revolution of the band will cause the labelE to become folded around the cross-arm A', and when the strap D is relaxed the label will thus be securely locked in place between bail and 'strap on the one hand and the bottle-neck on the other hand, as shown in Fig. 6.

In Figs. 9 and 10 I employ a square or foursided frame in lieu of the three-sided bail A2, being the additional or fourth side.

In Figs. 1l to 16 the frame is of the same form as in Figs. 9 and 10; but the band D is doubled upon itself and encircles only onehalf of the bottleneck-z'. e., the half not occupied by the frame, Fig. 1b'. To fasten the label E to a frame of this form, it is slipped with its end between the arms A A2 and then the frame is revolved in the manner previously described. If desired, the cover over the cork may also be attached by this holder.

What I claim is- The combination of a bottle C with an elastic band encircling its neck, a bail having a rigid cross-arm'A and suspended below the band, and with a flexible label folded around the cross-arm, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GUSTAV NITHACK.
