Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ROBERT F. STROBEL, OF CANNELTON, INDIANA.
TAG-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 638,654, dated December 5, 1899.
Application filed May 4, 1897. Serial No. 635,068.v (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, ROBERT F. STROBEL, of Cannelton, in the county of Perry and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tag-Holders; 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 appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to tag-holders, and has for its object to provide a simple, cheap, and reliable holding device for securing tags, tickets, and other similar articles to various objects, the tag-holder herein disclosed being especially designed for use upon fabrics and dry goods in general.
The improved tag-holder prevents any pos= sibility of the tag becoming dislodged from the article to which it is applied.
The invention consists in a tag holder or fastener embodying certain novel features and details of construction, as hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the drawings, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a tag with the improved holder applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the tag-holder looking toward the extremity of the transverse resilient loop. Fig. 3 is an end view of the holder looking toward the point of the hook.
Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings.
The improved holder or fastener contemplated in this invention is made in one piece and is composed, preferably, of a piece of light spring-wire. This piece of wire is extended substantially straight as to its central portion and as indicated at 1, such portion extending the entire length of the holder or fastener and being recurved at one end, as shown at 2, and extended back to form a hook 3, the extremity of which is pointed, as at 4, to adapt the same to be inserted in the dry goods. The portion 1 is recurved at its other end, as in dicated at 5., and extended back, as at 6, beyond the point 4: of the hook or so as to overlap the point of the hook, and the wire is then bent at the point 10 at substantially a right angle to the portion 6 and given one complete coil around the portion 1 and hook 3, the extremity of the loop or coil (indicated at 8) being lapped beyond the bend 7 and passing a second time outside of the point of the hook, so as to prevent the point of the hook from escaping from the loop 8 after it has once been inserted therein. The loop or coil 8 acts also as a stop or guard for the tag, pre venting its displacement.
In operation the tag (indicated at 9) is threaded upon the end of the holder at the recurved portion 5. The point of the hook is then passed through the dry goods and is in= serted under the extremity of the resilient loop 8 and pressed inward until it passes beyond the bend 7 and the portion 6, when it springs into the loop and is prevented from displacement, requiring considerable force on the part of the attendant to remove the point of the hook from the loop 8, which thus forms a guard for the point of the hook. The transverse coil or loop 8 may be made of any size in order to obtain the required resiliency for enabling the extremity of such loop to be sprung sufficiently to enable the point of the hook to be inserted thereunder or removed therefrom.
Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
A holder for attaching tags to dry goods, dtc. made of spring-wire in one piece, and comprising a substantially straight body portion, one terminal of which is recurved and pointed to form an impaling-hook, the other terminal being recurved and extended to overlap the point of the hook and then bent at an angle and coiled to form a complete loop around the body portion and hook, the ends of the coil overlapping each other and passing twice outside of the impaling-point of the hook, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ROBERT F. STROBEL. Witnesses:
O. W. KNIGHTS, JOHN CONWAY.
