EDGAR C. DUNLAP, OF BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO A. KIMlALL` CO., OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TAGMPIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 622,453, dated April 4, 1899.
Application filed December 17, 1897. Serial No. 662,254.. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDGAR C. DUNLAP, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairiield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tag-Pins, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in tag-pins; and it consists in so forming the base portion of the pin that greater strength and a much better supporting-surface may beimparted to the whole structure.
` To enable others to understand my invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Y Figure l represents a perspective view of the pin detached. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the reverse side of a tag with the pin attached thereto. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the reverse side of pin and tag. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the obverse or front of the tag and pin connected therewith. Fig. 5 is a modified construction of the pin.
Its construction and operation are as follows: The pin is made from a single piece of wire, as shown, having the central portion double scalloped to form the base, while the two free ends l and 2 form the points to engage with the fabric to which the tag is intended to be attached. Then the pin is mounted on the tag 3, its obverse or front side (see Fig. 4) will show only the two arms 4 and 5, thus leaving a large surface of the tag for the printing. On the reverse side, Figs. 2 and 3, it will be observed that the scallop formation of the base has produced the two forwardly-projecting loops 6 and 7 and also the central and rearwardly-projecting loop S, which loop extends back to the upper edge of the tag, while the loops 6 and 7 project forwardv far enough to be on a line with the points or prongs l and 2, as shown at Figs. l, 3, and et. To still further increase the bearn ing-surface for the pin, these loops may extend beyond the line of said points or prongs, as shown at Fig. 2, and in all cases the extreme ends of these forwardly-extending loops may be bent downward and caused to form an indentationin the reverse side of the tag, so as to insure a firm holding of the pin to the tag.
In the modification shown at Fig. 5 there is but one loop 9, which also projects beyond the line of the prongs, and its end is also delected downward and is embedded in the ltag when attached thereto.
A pin constructed as above described will give much greater support to the upwardprojecting fastening-prongs than the pins now in use, as the said prongs are so thoroughly braced at their base by the loops l0 and 1l, passing around the end of the tag, combined with the long forwardly-projecting loops 6 and 7, embedded in the tag, and the rearwardly-projecting loop 8, that the surface of the tag between the prongs is so completely covered that there is no possible chance of the device getting loose when subjected to the rough treatment of attaching vthe tag to very tough material. This matter of constructing the base of the pin so that the attaching-points are firmly supported is of vital importance and the principal object sought for in'constructing tag-pins, as the slightest movement or working of the base will prevent the points being quickly and properly inserted in the fabric. Besides, any movement of the structure below the point where the prongs protrude through the tag will tend to tear the tag. lf required, the end of the rearwardly-projecting loop 8 may also be bent downward so as to indent the tag.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A tag-pin provided withone or more horizontal loops located in between its ends, and which loop or loops have their ends turned at an angle to the length of the loops and in an opposite direction to the ends of the pin, substantially as shown. v
2. Atag-pin formed from a single straight piece of wire, the centralportion being formed of one or more loops which have theirends turned at an angle to the ends of the loop and in an opposite direction to the ends of the pin, so as to have the ends of the loop catch in the object to which the pin is applied, and having the two end portions turned outwardly at right eld and Stateof Connecticut, this 16th day angles to the loops, combined with a tag to of December, A. D. 1897. which the pin is applied, and through which the points of the pin are made to pass While EDGAR C DUNLAP 5 the ends of the loops press downwardly upon Witnesses:
its top surface, substantially as described. JOHN B. CLAPP, Signed at Bridgeport, in the county of Fair- HENRY SCHADT.
