MORTEN S. JOHNSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

PlN-TlCKET.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 748,957, dated January 5, 1904.

Application filed October 13, 1902. Serial No. 126,984. (No modem 7 citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a Pin-Ticket, of which the following is a specification.

Ihis invention relates to pin-tickets for marking merchandise, as clothing, fabrics, and the like. I

Primary objects of my invention are to provide a pin-ticket of simple and cheap construction, which may be quickly and conveniently attached to and detached from the goods to be marked; to provide a pin-ticket which may be manipulated without danger of pricking the fingers on the pin-points, and to prevent the pin-points from pricking the hands and catchingin the goods in handlin To'this end a pin-ticket of my invention consists of the various features, combination of features, and details of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

1n the accompanying drawings a pin-ticket of my invention is fnllyillustrated:

Figure 1 isa perspective view ofa pin-ticket of my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof inserted through a piece of cloth. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the pins bent down to secure the ticket to the cloth, and Fig. at is a plan view showing the ticket attached to a piece of cloth.

Referring now to the drawings, l designates the ticket, and 2 flexible pins rigidily secured thereto. The ticket may be of any usual or desired construction, and the pins 2 may be secured thereto in any manner desired. As shown, the ticket 1 consists of two layers or pieces of paper pasted together, one of said pieces being preferably made of card-board. As shown, also, the pins 2 are formed from an integral piece of wire, the connecting or intermediate portion 30f which is bowed or U-shaped and is bent laterally relatively to said pins, so that said pins 2 and said curved or U-shaped section 3 will be in different planes. The curved or U-shaped section 3 is secured between the layersof the ticket 1, the pins 2 passing through one layer of said ticket and projecting laterally therefrom. It is obvious that the curved or the hands. pressure will be exerted on the opposite sides U-shaped portion 3 of the wire forming said pins 2 will secure said pins rigidly to the ticket 1. The ends of the pins 2 are bent to form hooks 4, said hooks being preferably bent slightly beyond a position at right angles to the body portions of said pins. When the ticket is finished and ready for use, the

pins 2 extend substantially at right angles to' the surface of said ticket.

In attaching the ticket the pins 2 are interted through the goods 5, preferably until the ticket 1 is in contact with said goods. Said pins are then bent down bodily upon the goods in such a manner that the hooks 4. will enter the goods, thereby firmly securing s'aid ticket to the goods. Preferably, also, the pins 2 project from the surface of the ticket 1 adistance less than that between the points where they leave the ticket and the side or end of said ticket in the direction in which they are to be bent. Thus, when said pins are bent over in attaching said ticket,

the ends of said hooks willstrike and be covered by said ticket, insuring against their catchingiuothergoodsinhandlingorpricking In bending said pins, also, the

thereof from the hooks 4, thus insuring against pricking the fingers in bending said books, as often happens in bending straight hooks.

The ineaning or significance of the word book, as used herein, is that the ends 4 of to the shanks thereof that they will catch in the fabric when drawn across the same.

I claim- 1. A pin-ticket consisting of a ticket and pins for insertion through the fabric rigidly secured to and projecting from said ticket at a distance from the edge thereof toward which said pins are designed to be bent, said pins being bent at their ends to form hooks for engagement with the fabric-at a distance from the point where said pins pass through the same, substantially as described.

2. A pin-ticketconsisting of a ticket and pins for insertion through the fabric rigidly secured to said ticket at a distance from the edge thereof toward which said pins are designed to be bent greater than the length of my invention I affix my signature, in pressaid pins, said pins being bent at their ends enee of two subscribing Witnesses, this 3d day to form hooks for engagement with the fabric of October, A. D. 1902.

at a distance from the point where said pins MORTEN S. JOHNSON.
