THOMAS P. MARSTON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y; ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND N. M. PHILLIPS, OF SAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No. 99,334, dated February 1, 1870.
, IMPROVEMENT IN TAG-ATTACHMENTS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS P. MAns'rox, of New York city, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tag-Attachments, adapted for attaching tags to woven goods and analogous thin material; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.
I will first describe what I consider the best means of carrying out my invention, and will afterwards designate the points which I believe to be new.
The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification.
Figure 1 is a face view, and
Figure 2 a longitudinal section of the piece of metal which is to be used as a clasp, after it is punched, and the parts which are to form the hooks are deflected outof the general plane, and before the spring-loop is applied.
Figure 3 is the spring-loop.
Figure 4 shows the parts after the spring-loop has been put through the tag, and also inserted in the plate, but not twisted around in the proper position.
Figure 5 is a perspective view, showing the same parts as in fig. 4, but after the spring-loop has been twisted a quarter around, so as to bring it into its correct position relatively to the plate.
Figure 6 shows the plate bent into the position in which the articles are ready to be attached to the cloth.
Figure 7 is a perspective view, showing the tag and its attachments firmly connected to the piece of cloth, of which a portion of the edge only is shown;
Figure 8 is a central section through the same.
,Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.
A ais the tag, and B an edge of thecloth, to which it is to be attached.
Through a hole, a, in the tag, I insert the springloop 0, bent in the form represented, with turned-out ends, a c, and having a tendency, by its elasticity, to spring into the condition shown in fig. 3.
D is apiece of sheet-brass, or analogous moderately stiff material. It is struck out by dies from a flatshcet, and angular cuts made at the points indicated The angle formed by these cuts is then bent obliqely to the plane'of the other parts, as indicated in fig. 2. v
A hole is also punched in the centre, somewhat in the form of a Greek cross, as represented atE e in fig. l.
The spring-loop G c cis first introduced through the hole a in the tag A. Its ends are then sprung together, and the spring is introduced and turned quarter around in the hole E e, so that, on liberating it, it springs open and is confined in the hole. It stands, not in the longest way of the hole, but the shortest way; that is to say, the spring-loop G rests in the sidenotches e e of the hole E 0.
it is desired to afiix the tag.
The process of attaching is extremely simple. The edge of the cloth is slipped between the moderately separated ends of the piece E, and then the ends are pressed together by the fingerand thumb, pulling gently at the same time on the fabric. Pliers, or analogous implements, may be applied, if preferred, to effect a still tighter compression. It is suificient that the sides of the parts D spring together with some force, so as to urge the hooks or oblique sharp projections d d d into or through the cloth,
I prefer to make these points so long and slender, and to press the sides together with such force, as to clench the'points as indicated in fig. 8.
1 It is not essential to success that the loop 0 c be made of tempered steel, or of any highly elastic material. I have experimented very satisfactorily with loops made of soft wire, and on some accounts prefer as soft a wire as can be found. But whatever the material, it is best made in about the form shown, and it will obviously possess considerable elasticity.
I claim- 1. In combination with a tag, the peculiarly formed hole E c in the attaching-plate D, adapted to receive a loop, 0 c, and to aid in confining the same by turning the one relatively to the other, so that the loop shall rest in the short branches 0 e of the hole, as herein set forth.
. 2. The loop G c, in combination with the folded or bent piece D, and matching, into and confined therein in the manner shown, and adapted to serve as a tagattachment, as herein set forth.
3. The entire combination and arrangement of all the parts shown, to wit: the folded clasp or plate I), with hooks d d d formed thereon, in the manner shown, the loop 0 0 matching as represented in the hole E e in the clasp, and the tag A a, connected and adapted to apply on the edge of a piece of cloth or analogous material, as herein set forth.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
T. P. MARSTON.
