An Improved Method of Affixing Article or Articles on or to
Sample, Show, or Sale Cards.
WILLIAM CHARLES HAWTIN, Foreman, 66 Selby Road Leytonstone in the
County of Essex, and EDWARD DARIUS MINCHER Manufacturer, Helmsley
House Helmsley Terrace Hackney in the County of Middlesex do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-―
This invention consists in cutting, stamping or perforating a part or parts of a
card to any shape or length or width or at any angle required, the cutting
stamping or perforating, is only done in certain parts of the shape required, leaving
a part or one end of the shape intact with the card, this will produce a tongue
that may be used for passing through, or round, or over, or between the article or
articles which are to be attached to the card, the tongue would be made with a
head larger than the stem, so that when the stem was through, or round, or over
or between, the article or articles desired to be carded, the head would be passed
through the opening left by the stem, at an angle thus forming a loop, when through,
the head would resume its proper position, and being of a larger diameter
than the vacant place left by the stem of the tongue, would prevent the loop from
becoming unfastened, thus holding securely the article or articles on the card.
The article would be released when required by repassing the head through the
opening left by the stem, thus unfastening the loop.
In some cases it may be necessary for the stem of the tongue to have one or
more projecting parts below the head, so that the loop could be tightened up if
desired.
The head of the tongue could be T shape star shape, round shape, oval shape,
or tapered, or any fancy shape desired.
The tongue or stem from the head, could be straight, taped, saw cut, slotted, or
any fancy cut or shape desired.
The advantages of this invention are,
It does away with the use of thread, elastic or fasteners &c. in fixing articles on
or to a card.
The holders or tongues could be made in any sort of card used for the purposes
described in above title.

a part or one end of the shape intact with the card which produces a tongue see
Fig. I T that may be used for passing thro' or round, or over or between the article
or articles which are to be attached to the card see Fig. II A this tongue would be
made with a head see FigoI h larger than the stem, so that when the stem was
thro' or round or over or between the article desired to be carded the head would
be passed thro' the opening see Fig. 1 O left by the stem at an angle thus forming
a loop see Fig. II L when thro', the head would resume its proper position and
being of a larger diameter than the vacant place see Fig. II O left by the stem of
the tongue, would prevent the loop from becoming unfastened, thus holding
securely the article or articles on the card see Fig. II A-the article would be
released when required by repassing the head see Fig. I thro' the opening see
Fig. I O left by the stem thus unfastening the loop.
The head of the tongue see Fig. I could be T shape star, round or oval, or
tapered or any fancy shape desired the tongue or stem see Fig. I T from the
head see Fig. I could be straight tapered, saw cut slotted or any fancy cut or
shape desired. It may be necessary in some cases for the stem to have one or
more projecting parts below the head so that the loop can be tightened up if
desired.
The advantages of this invention are, it does away with the use of thread
elastic or fasteners &c. in fixing articles on to a card. These holders or tongues
could be made in any sort of card used for the purposes described in the title.
The description given above would be most suitable for carding rings & such
like articles but for penholders & pencils & such like articles we should make the
tongue in the card with a slot or hole thro' it see Fig. III S, the tongue
projecting see Fig. IV P slightly from the body of the card would allow the
article to be passed in the hole or slot see Fig. V S & thus provide a secure
fastening, see Fig. V.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
A card cut stamped or perforated, so that a tongue is formed which will provide
a fastening for articles, without the aid of any other means, as herein described and
shewn by accompanying drawings.
