SUTCLIFFE, OF OAK PARK, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR T'O VICTOR MANUFACTUR- ING & GASKET 00., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS TAG HOLDER Application filed January 2, 1930. Serial No. 418,047.
This invention relates to tag holders and it has for its object to provide a novel device adapted for use in connection with a hanger hook to receive and hold a detachable tag in selective position for clearly displaying the information which the tag bears relating to the article suspended on the hanger hook.
Another object of the invention is to provide a tag holder which may be mounted on a support in conjunction with a hanger hook to receive and hold a detachable tag in display position above the articles suspended froin the hook, or to be hung upon the hook at the back of the articles suspended therefrom to display the information on the tag through openings in the articles.
Other objects of the invention are to provide novel means for detachably holding the tag in place in the holder in either selective position of the holder; toconstruet the hold or in a manner which permits it to be installed on a support in close proximity to other holders without distorting the holder or any other parts; and to provide a strong and substantial device compact in size and light in weight.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown selective embodiments of the invention and referring thereto,
Fig. 1 shows the invention embodied with a strip support for displaying hangers with one tag holder upright and another tag holder suspended.
Figs. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing slightly different forms of the tag holder.
Fig. t shows the tag holders on a board support for displaying a greater number of gaskets.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail sectional view on the lines 5, 5 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged perspective View of the tag holder in Figs. 4 and 5 shown in its relation to adjacent keepers.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of the same tag holder in suspended position.
Fig. 8 is a plan view of the tag holders shown in Figs. 4-7.
The invention is adapted for use with a strip support 9, Fig. 1, a board support 10, Fig. 4, or with any other support for which it is or may be adapted. The supports are provided with keepers 11 to receive the tag holders and hooks 12 and the supports may be made of sheet metal and the keepers may be stamped up therefrom or otherwise formed as desired. The tag holder comprises a body 13 having side flanges 14 formed to receive a tag 15 bearing a number identifying the gasket 16, or other information relating thereto. The holder is preferably formed of sheet metal and the body is provided with shoulders 17 struck up thereon to support the tag in upright position on the body and within the flanges, Fig. 2; or shoulders 18 may be formed on the flanges at the bottom thereof to support the tag, Fig. 3. A shoulder 19 is formed at the top of the body to retain the tag in the holder when the holder is in upright position, Fig. 6, and to support the on the body when the holder is suspended from the hook, Fig. 7. A shank 20 is provided on the body to engage a keeper 11 and the inner end 21 of the hook is flattened to engage the same keeper in front of the shank. \Vhen the shank and hook are engaged with the same keeper they will fit snugly in the keeper and secure the holder and the hook rigidly in position on the support. When a holder is intended for use on a support having keepers closely arranged it is desirable to offset the tag section of the body of the holder, at 22, from the shank section of the body so that when the holder is being inserted in one keeper it will clear the keeper next above. The shank is provided with one or more holes 2-3 so that the holder may be suspended from a hook as shown in Figs. 1 and 7. An opening 24 is also provided in the tag section of the body to provide a relief for the tag and permit it to yield as may be required to enable the hook to be engaged with the keeper without damaging the tag.
One important use of the invention is for displaying and identifying gaskets on a support either of the strip form shown in Fig. 1 or of the board form shown in Fig. 4. The board form of support may be providkeepers.
ed with a great number of closely arranged keepers to permit the display of a large number of gaskets of different sizes and shapes and it is desirable that the holder should be capable of use in upright position, Fig. (5, or in inverted position smpended from the hook, Fig. 7, to clearly display the tags. lVhen the holder is in upright position, Fig. 6, the tag will be retained in place on the body by the flanges 14:, and the shoulders 18 and 19, the lower edge of the tag resting upon the shoulders 18. lVhen the holder is suspended from the hook, Fig. 7, the tag will be retained in place by the flanges 1a and the shoulders 18 and 19, the lower edge of the tag resting upon the shoulders 1.9. When the form of holder shown in Fig. 2 is used the shoulders 17 will act in the same manner as the shoulders 18 in the form shown in Fig. 6. In all forms the tag is removably but securely held in place in either position of the holder by the flanges and the shoulders and it can be easily inserted or replaced while the holder is in display position.
The invention provides a tag holder of novel but simple construction which is adapted to be easily engaged with or without the hook in a keeper on a support and without interference by closely adjacent The will be clearly displayed in the upright position of the holder above the gasket or other article, or in the suspended position of the holder through an opening in the gasket or other article.
I have shown the tag holder mounted on two forms of support each provided with keepers of the same kind but it will be understood that the invention is not restricted to these supports and to these keepers because the tag holder can be mounted in any suitable keeper and on any suitable support. The interchangeability of the tag iolder from upright to upside down hanging position, both displaying the tag in upright position, is of importance in displaying gaskets as will be understood from the description and drawings and it may also be important in displaying many other articles for the same and other reasons. The tag holder is made out of sheet metal of any gage and it may be made of thin flexible material which will permit the shank to be folded upon the body so that it can be hung upon a support not provided with a keeper. The shoulders 25 on the body at the juncture of the shank therewith .engage the keeper and position the tag holder upright therein. That part of the body between the tag part and the shank widens from the shank to the tag part and rein- ;forcesrand strengthens the device. This intermediate section 26 of the tag holder may be supplied with permanent identification means stamped or, printed or otherwise applied thereto. It is apparent, also, that the tag holder can be nailed or otherwise fastened on walls, bins or other supports when a permanent installation is desirable. The device is simple in form, it is relatively economical to manufacture, it can be compactly nested and packed for shipment, and it can be readily installed and replaced as desired.
I have shown the invention in forms suitable for the purposes intended but it may be necessary to change the details of construction to adapt the invention for different supports and for use in connection with different articles and I reserve the right to make all such changes within the scope of the following claims:
