This invention relates to labels for rugs and carpets, and more particularly to a double label adapted to mark both the front and back of a rug or carpet.
:il It has been proposed heretofore to print or otherwise mark the back of a rug or carpet so as to display thereupon the name given the fabric, the nameof the manufacturer and other desired information, but in order to read this information it is necessary to turn the rug or carpet over or fold it back.
It is desirable at times to display similar information at the face of the rug or carpet without permanently marking the face thereof. For example, when rugs are on sale and piled one on top of the other, or otherwise displayed, it may be desirable to provide means for marking them so .that the makers name and other information can be easily read at the upper face or edge of the rug, thus making is unnecessary to examine the back of the rug for this information.
Such marking means at the face of a rug would, however, be undesirable or unsightly after the rug has been sold and placed in use. It is, therefore, important that the marking means at the face of the rug be readily removable after the rug is sold, but it should be so constructed and secured in place that it is not likely to be accidentally torn oil` or injured prior to the sale of the rug.
The present invention, therefore, relates to a special form of label adapted to permanently mark the back of a fabric and to temporarily mark the face thereof and comprises a double label consisting of two parts, one of which is adapted to be permanently secured to the back. of a rug or carpet, while the other is removably secured at the front thereof, and a foldable connection is provided between the two labels to help retain the front label in place.
The arrangement is such that the front label is positioned adjacent an edge of the rug where it can be'conveniently read by looking at the same either at the edge or upper face of the rug or carpet, and may be easily examined even when the rug to which it is secured is in a stack under other rugs. After a rug having the double label of the present Bussum invention secured thereto is sold, the front label may be readily removed by severing its connection with the rear label and pulling or cutting it loose from the means that attaches it to the front face of the rug.
The various features of the present invent1on will be more fully understood from the following description when read in connection. with the accompanying drawings illustratmg one good, practical form thereof.
In the drawings Fig. 1 is a face view of the double label of the present invention; 4
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the end portion of a rug looking at its upper face and provided with the label of the present invention;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken lon the line 3 3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the portion of the rug of Fig. 1, but shows the rug turned up zo disclose the label upon the back thereof; an
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but shows the label for the front of the rug removed.
The double label of the present invention may be used upon rugs, carpets, and other fabrics where it is desired to provide a permanent label at one face and a removable label at the opposite face, and may be secured at either an end or selva e edge of the rug or other fabric to be mared. i
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated the double label comprises an elongated strip of material and is provided at one end with the front label 1 and at the other end with the back label 2, and the intermediate portion 3 of the elongated strip is adapted to be folded about the edge of a rug or other fabric.
The elongated strip used in forming the label may be constructed of various materials but since the rear label 2 is intended to remain permanentl secured in place, it should be constructed o durable material and both labels should present a pleasing appearance. The .elongated strip may therefore be formed of woven silk or other textile material of any desired color, and the name of the manufacturer of the rug, its size, and trade-name,
trade-mark or other information may be printed or otherwise provided near the opposite ends of the elongated strip, as best shown in Fig. 1.
The manner in which the double label 0f the present invention may be attached to a rug, carpet or other fabric is lllustrated 1n connection with the end portion of a rug having the usual backing fabric 4, pile upper face 5 and end fringe 6, and in the rug construction shown the pile 5 is omitted from the ground fabric adjacent the fringe, as indicated by 7.
The double label comprising the parts 1, 2 and 3 is conveniently secured to the rug by sewing the end of the upper label 1 to the portion of the upper face of the fabric 7 from which the pile is omitted. This is a simple sewing machine operation, and the end of the label is preferably turned under as at 8, and is secured to the backing fabric by the row of stitches 9. The intermediate portion 3 of the strip may then be looped loosely about the fringe 6, as shown, so as not to injure the fringe and secured to the back of the fabric 4 by the row of stitches 10. The remaining end portion 2 of the fabric strip may be sewed to the back of the rug as at 1l. In this manner the rear label 2 is firmly bound in a flat condition to the back of the rug to permanently mark the same.
rlhe front label 1, it should be noted, is held in place partly by the stitches 9 and partly by the looped intermediate section 3, the arrangement being such that the upper label 1 can be easily read from either the edge or upper face of the rug, and is held in an extended condition and from being accidentally folded over against the face of the pile 5 by the connection 3.
When a rug or carpet provided with the present double labelis sold, the upper label 1 and intermediate portion 3 are readily removed by severing the label forming strip along a line 12 adjacent to the row of stitches 10 and by cutting or breaking the row of stitches 9 at the face of the rug.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the present label comprises a portion 2 permanently secured to the back of the fabric, a portion 1 removably secured to the face of the fabric, and an intermediate or looped portion 3 which is of sufiicient size to clear the fringes 6 so as not to fold or crumple them. It will also be understood that as a result of the present construction any desired information may be displayed in a pleasing manner at both the back and front of a rug, carpet or other fabric and that this is accomplished without in any way permanently marking or injuring the face of the rug or other fabric.
