Patented Nov. 26, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE 2,022,270 SEALABLE TAG Charles Bender and Tex Hanon, Brooklyn, N. Y. Application March 19, 1935, Serial No. 11,824
3 Claims.
The invention relates to tags used on articles which are checked for a period of time at parking spaces, checkrooms or similar places and for other purposes where tags may be used. The invention has for its main object to provide a tag which may be secured on any article, which will not readily be accidentally displaced or removed from the article, and which can not be taken of and replaced without it being noticeable. Another object is to provide a tag which once having been sealed on an article cannot be used again. A further object is to provide a tag of very simple and inexpensive construction which can be attached'to any article with a minimum expenditure of time and labor.
These and various other objects and advantages will be readily understood from the following description and from the accompanying drawing of preferred embodiments of the invention, in which, however, modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. In the drawing Fig. 1 is a plan View of a tag made in accordance to the invention,
Fig. 2 is a rear view of part of the tag shown in Fig. l and shown with the tag sealed and the ticket removed,
Fig. 3 is a similar tag somewhat modified in construction,
Fig. 4 is another modification, and
Fig. 5 shows the tag shown in Fig. 4 sealed.
Referring first to Fig. 1, the tag consists of a piece of cardboard or other suitable material which is perforated, as shown at it, and provided with a U-shaped slit as shown at H. The perforations and the slit separate the cardboard into two pieces l2 and i3; I2 being the tag proper and IS the ticket attached thereto. The slit i forms a tab I3 on the tag l2, when the two pieces are separated. Two holes It are punched in the tag in line with the perforations Hi.
When the tax is to be attached to any article which is to be checked or otherwise stored, the ticket I3 is removed and handed to the person checking the article. The ends of a wire loop [5 are inserted through the holes M, after having been wound around the article to be checked, and the tab l3 folded down as shown in Fig. 2. If a staple I6 is now clinched through the tag and the tab, the ends of the wire are so effectively clamped between these parts so that they cannot be withdrawn without tearing the tag or the tab.
The wires may be twisted as shown in Fig. 2, or their ends may merely be left straight under the staple. In either case they will be imbedded so firmly in the cardboard that they cannot be withdrawn. Similar numerals ii are imprinted on the tag and the ticket.
In Fig. 3 the tag is shown at 58 and the ticket 5- at l9. They are separatable by a line of perforations 28. In this instance, a tab 2| is formed by shearing out a semi-circular piece of the card board and bending it over on the tag. As in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, holes are provided 10 through which the ends of the Wire loop 22 are inserted. A staple 23 is likewise clinched through the tab and the tag so as to clamp the ends of the wire looop.
Fig. 4 shows a tag which is particularly suitable when lighter materials are used, as for example, paper or linen. The tag 24 has its upper corners 25 and 26 folded, asshown in Fig. 4, and two holes 2'! are punched through these corners and through the tag itself. The ends of the loop 28, in this case shown as a cord, are inserted through the holes 28 and the upper end 29 of the tag is folded over. The cords may if desired be knotted, as shown at Fig. 5. Finally a staple 3! is clinched through the folded tag to prevent the removal of the cord or the untying of the knot This, as well as the other tags shown, may be made with or without separatable ticket. In like manner While we have in some instances shown wire loops and in another a cord loop, dent that in most cases one may be substituted for another.
In some instances the loop may be attached to the tag permanently by tying the ends together. In such cases, as for example Where the tag is used on a door handle of an automobile, the tied ends may be drawn tight by pulling them through the holes in the tag. After the loop is tight, the staple is clinched as previously described. 40
From the foregoing it will be seen that once any of these tags have been sealed on an article it cannot be removed without detection. It will also be noted that these tags are cheap to mambfacture and easy to apply, requiring only the use of a pair' of stapling pliers for sealing.
Having described our invention and its objects, what we claim is new and wish to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A tag of the class described-comprising a piece of material having a bent-over portion, two holes provided in or near the bend, a looped tying member, the ends of said tying member insertable through said holes, a Wire staple inserted through the tag and the bent-over part it is evi- 30 a and straddling the ends of said tying member, and said staple clinched to secure the ends of the tying member between the tag and the bentover part.
2. A tag of the class described comprising a piece of material having a bent-over portion, two
.holes pro-vided in or near the bend, a looped tying member, the ends of said tying member insertable through said holes, a wire staple inserted through the tag and the bent-over part and straddling the ends of said tying member, said staple clinched to secure the ends of the tying member between the tag and the bent-over part, and a ticket provided on the tag and made separable therefrom by a line of perforations.
3. A tag of the class described comprising a piece of material having a bent-over portion, two holes provided in or near the bend, a looped tying member, the ends of said tying member insertable through said holes, a wire staple inserted through the tag and the bent-over part and straddling the ends of said tying member, said staple clinched to secure the ends of the tying member between the tag and the bent-over part, a ticket provided on the tag and made separable therefrom by a line of perforations, and similar numerals imprinted on the tag and on the ticket.
