By a variety of ways, of which two only need be preference it is rectangular and oblong, as mentioned in order to point the difference best seen in Fig. 1, although it could be between them and the present invention. square, diamond shape, oval, or of any other One is a body with a series of names printed suitable shape, Fig. V illustrating the body 50 upon it and opposite them a horizontal row as round in contour. It is only necessary of holes arranged in vertical lines, each of that in the simplest form of the invention there be at least two edges which are opposed to each other. In Fig. I these are the side edges, in Fig. IV the lower end is also em ployed, and in Fig.V four opposed edges are shown, as will be described. Along the opposed edges are formed notches 2, which may be of any of many shapes, several being shown in Fig. II. It is only necessary that these notches be distinct, sufficiently deep, and by preference equidistant, so as to facilitate printing adjacent to them, and by preference the notches are formed by cutting the card with a corrugated or an angular-shaped knife-edge, as shown near the top of Fig. II. Along another opposed edge are formed other notches, which may be similar to the first set in shape or not. By preference they are the same in shape and spacing and for the same reason. Adjacent one edge is printed a series of pictures, characters, or words constituting names, as shown at 3 in Fig. I, and adjacent the opposed edge is printed a series of pictures, characters, words, letters, or numerals constituting designations 4, as shown at the right'edge of'this View. The 'names may be names of persons or of articles, and, in fact, by the term names is intended to be included anything which can be arranged in one series orin more than one series along this edge. The designations are by preference numerals, such as abstract numbers, as shown in Fig. I, or concrete numbersthat is to say, the designations 4 might be arranged in one series or in aplurality of series, such as pounds and ounces,then dozens,then pints and quarts. Itis even possible that the designations may. be other than numerals, to which end the term designations is intended to convey any condition relatively to the names which it may be desired to indicate. As an illustration, the names might be names of people and the designations might be names of cities to which those people had been sent, or both names and designations might be proper names and the indicator to be described below would connect the names in one series with the names in the other and designate that the two persons mentioned had been paired off for some reason of which it was desired to make note.
5 designates the indicator, which in the preferred form of the invention is a piece of cord attached at some suitable point to the body 1. In Fig. I it is attached to an eyelet 6 at the top of the card, by which the latter is hung up; but it is clear that the indicator could be attached at one end to the card in any other manner. It would be within the scope of this invention, if a permanent record were to be made, to use a line, as of ink or pencil, for the indicator, or anything else that would lead from one of the names to one of thedesignations. In Fig. VIII the indicator 51 is an elastic cord and the indicator 52 is an elastic band leading completely around the body 1, and therefore avoiding the necessity for any independent fastening, as at 6 or elsewhere,
since its own body at the rear of the card serves as such fastening.
In Fig. X there are two indicators 53 and 54, and this view illustrates how a plurality of indicators of different color could be used simultaneously on the same card, one of which, for instance,to designate a gentlemens wash and the other ladies wash. With the simplest form of indicator, which is a piece of tape,cord, or string, after it has been wound around the card to produce the proper designations, some provision must be made to fasten the free end in order to prevent theindicator from uncoiling or unwinding by its own weight, and thus undoing the work of designation. Withoutlimitingthe invention to the use of any special form of fastening means, the simplest form is probably a series of slits 10 cut inone end of the card, as indicated in Fig. I. Other forms are shown in Fig. III with the cord indicator 5 wound around to engage with some of them. At the bottom of this view is illustrated an eyelet 101, and the cord indicator could be strung throughthat eyelet and allowed to hang or could be tied into the eyelet with a bow-knot. Of course the fastening means could comprise something attached to the face of the body or driven into it; but it is preferred to retain the simplicity of parts as far as possible.
In Fig. IV is illustrated how there might be three sets of notches 2, and herein they are shown along each side edge and also along the lower end. In the-bottom of one'of said notches in the lower end in this view is cut a slit 105, which illustrates how this or any other notch could be continued into a fastening device, and thus serve a double function. In Fig. V are illustrated four sets of notches 2. In Figs. VI and VII is illustrated a cube or square stick,whereof the two faces 102 and 103 are marked adjacent their opposite corners with names and designations and the two remaining faces are blank. These faces may be reserved for the advertising matter 15, which may occur where indicated in Fig. Iand elsewhere throughout the various views, provided it does not conflict with the matter necessarily printed upon the body. In the common practice at the present time these devices are made in great numbers with a merchants advertisement upon them, as at 17, and are given away, as is well understood. At 16 in Fig. I'may be printed directions for using the device, which may also be printed upon any form.
Printing has been spoken of. It is clear that the marks upon the body could be made in any other way, and it is within the scope of the invention toprint or otherwise form such marks as are permanent and to leave some or all of the names and designations blank, as by making the body of celluloid or slate, to permit writing thereon and erasing therefrom. Instances may occur where a plurality of designations are desirable in connection with one name, as shown in Fig. IV.
' case are notches 2 in the lower end of. the" card opposite any printed matter desired, inthe present instance being words relative to By preference the indicator is led last to the fastening device, and the latter may be in such form as to itself constitute a designation, as shown at the top of Fig. I,;or,i.if
preferred, the mouth of the slit may be enlarged, as shown at 105-in Fig. IV, so that the device becomes a combination designationnotch and fastening means, and possibly the slitsshownat the top ot thisv-iewcould be then omitted. In Fig.1X theedges of the card arestifiened by bent metal clamps 20, which themselves carry the notches 2, while the card is plain. This view also illustrates how an additional strip 21 of paper or card might be inserted beneath the clamp so as to change the designations and how a similar strip could beused adjacentthe other edge so tening, thence behind the card, and through a left-hand notch 2 opposite a name-word 3. In Fig. I it leads first through the notch Nightshirt; The cord 5 is then carried across the'face of the card 1 and through a right-hand notch opposite theproper. designation, In-Fig. I it passes through the notch opposite 3, which indicates that. three night-shirts have been sent tothe wash. The cord is then wound in a similar manner all the way down the card. In Fig. I it is led next to Shirts and then. across to 5 to indicate that five shirts have gone to the wash, and so on. Finally, the cord is led to the fastening device, if it be employed. In Fig. I it would be led from the notch opposite 8 obliquelyupward anddrawn tightly into a slit l0 opposite the day of the weekon which the wash is expected to be returned. As shown in Fig. I, a row of price-numerals 39 is placed opposite the words 3,-and in this use of the device these are the prices, re-
spectively, which the laundryman charges for washing the various articles. 1 It is obvious that these prices are .entirelyseparate and distinct. from the abstract numerals .4,
and it isclear that suchv prices or other data could be employed in conjunction with'the name-words if. the use of the article made it advisable. In Fig. IV between the designa tion of the number of various garments that are sent and the designation of the day of the, return the cord passes through an inter1ne-- diate series of designations, which inthis the natureof payment. -In :FigrV the cord starts at 60, passes behindthe body, connects the names 31 withthe designations 41, then passes againbehind the body and connects:
the names 82 with the, designations-42, and
changed at will.
necessary to describe in detail. that the clamps could be permanently secured upon a single body ofcardboardorother delicate material, and if the strips 21 then returns to the point 33 to repeat the operation. Thus it will be seen that a plural- 'ity' of series of designations may-be accomplished on asingle card by a single indicator. In FigsVI and VII one system of designations may occur onthe face 102 and another system on the face 103, the indicator where it passes across the faces 15 designating nothing; In FigJVIII one indicator 52 may remain on the card, while the other one, 51, may be In Fig-X two systems of designations may be efl'ected on the same "card by two indicators of diiferent color.
Fig. IX opens a field for modifications not It is clear are to be inserted the clamps 20 must be ca;-
pable of receiving two thicknesses. Itwould be possible to make the entire body of metal,
with turned-over edges notched at theirbends, and then insert a card, or it would even .be'
possible to'bend the metal body in theshape shown in Fig. XI, so as to form two channels, into whichtwo cards could be inserted, one carrying the names and the other designations, either or both of-which are therefore changeable, as desired. It is not intended-to limit the scope of this patent- 'to the exact shapes,i sizes, proportions, or materials of parts, and the patent clearly does not limit the use'of the invention to laundry-'cardsor designations by way of numbers for the reasons above explained.
