Description

L. L. KANE CLIP Filed Oct. 4, 1923 gwuentoz Patented Nov. 11, 1924.
UNITED sr LESTER IJ- KANE, OF SHAMBAUGH, IOWA.
CLIP.
Application filed October 4, 1923. serial No. 666,531.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LESTER L. KANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shambaugh, in thecounty of Page, State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips; 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 new and useful improvements in fasteners or attaching de vices, and particularly to devices for attaching tags to parcels, packages and the like, as well as for suspending papers, magazines, garments, etc.
One object of the present invention is to provide a device of this character which can be easily and quickly attached to the tag, and to the package, and which can as readily be detached therefrom, while at the same time remaining securely against accidental displacemen Another object is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construc tion, strong and durable in use, and which can be manufactured at a low cost.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in use.
Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective View of the device detached from the package.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing. The clip is shown as composed of a single length of suitable stifi wire, but may be formed of narrow fiat metal, if desired.
The wire is bent to provide circular loop 10, from which extend the legs 11 and 12. The outer end of the leg 11 is formed with a circular loop or eye 13, of smaller diameter than the loop 10, and disposed in a. plane at right angles to the former loop. The leg 12, from the point of juncture with the loop 10 is oifset in a direction away from the leg 11, and then extends longitudinally, in parallel relation to the leg 11, as shown at 14, where it is then extended toward and transversely of the leg 11, as shown at 15. From this point the leg 12 is extended forwardly, in parallel relation to the leg 11, and has its end turned at right angles, as at 16, into parallel relation to the portion and centrally through the loop or eye 18. The normal springy tendency of the leg 12 is to swing or flex away from the leg '11, so that the portion between the portions 15 and 16 will lie in contact with the adjacent side of the eye 13, while the portion 16 extends through the eye.
The device may be used for suspending various articles on a line, as for instance, papers, magazines, garments, or the like. ,5 grasping the legs 11 and 12, and pressing same toward each other, the leg 12 will flex and cause the portion l6 to rise out of the eye 13, when the article to be suspended is slipped between the eye 13 and the tip of the portion 16. Upon release of the logs, the portion 16 will, if the papers or articles are thin enough, penetrate the papers or articles, and pass into the eye 13, thus securely holding the articles. The loop 10 may then be engaged on a nail, or hook, to suspend the articles. If desired, the suspending line or cord or wire, may be passed through the loop 10 of a number of the clips, so that a number of dilferent articles may be suspended on the line. Whether or not the portion 16 penetrates the papers or articles, the tension between the said portion and the eye 18 will be suificient to firmly grip the papers or articles, and hold the same suspended. 1
What is claimed is:
A tag holder including a pair of resilient legs one of which has a portion lying in parallel relation to the other leg, a bight portion connected to one end of said other leg, an eye on the other end of said other leg, an oblique portion connecting one end of the first leg with the other end of the bight portion, the other end of the first leg. being extended transversely of said other leg at right angles, thence in parallel relation thereto, and finally into parallel relation to said transverse portion and within said eye.
In testimony whereof, I afilx my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
LESTER L. KANE. Witnesses:
