PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Means of Attaching Labels or the like
to Desired Articles.
I. SIDNEY CHARLES MACKLIN, Rodwell Avenue, Weymouth, Dorset, Accountant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention consists of improvements in or relating to means of attaching
labels or the like to desired articles, the object being to provide a ready means
for attaching the label to the desired article.
In carrying out my invention I provide a piece of suitable material which is
attached to the label in any convenient manner and has provided upon its
engaging surfaces an adhesive substance such as gum, glue or the like. When it
is required to attach the label to the article it is only necessary to moisten the
adhesive surface, which may then be caused to engage on the required surface
or article. It will be seen that this means of attachment is very suitable where
it is required to attach a label to the surface of a box, a document, or in fact any
position to which the attachment could be applied, thus dispensing with the
employment of string and tacks.
Dated this 26th day of August 1898.

Improvements in or relating to Means of Attaching Labels or the like
to Desired Articles.
I, SIDNEY CHARLES MACKLIN, of Rodwell Avenue, in the Town of Weymouth,
County of Dorset, one of the Counties of England, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This my invention consists of improvements in and relating to means of attach-
ing labels or the like to desired articles, the object being to provide a ready means
by a suitable adjustable device of securing such label to the desired article.
In carrying out my invention I provide a piece of suitable material which is
attached to the lable in the manner hereinafter described, such piece of suitable
material being provided upon its engaging surfaces with an adhesive substance
such as gum, glue or the like. When it is required to attach the label to the
article it is only necessary to moisten the adhesive surface, which may then be
caused to engage on the required surface or article.

page_text: The attachment to the label is made by a bent wire or other suitable material,
such wire being bent into the shape of an S or C and passed through eyelets
of brass, paper or their equivalents.
Also another form of attachment included in my invention is where the adhesive
tab consists only of one leaf which may be doubled over on itself and thus form
the attachment required.
With reference to the drawing:-
Fig. 1 represents a label with my adhesive attachment fastened thereto.
Fig. 2. The attachment itself spread open.
Fig. 3. The same attachment consisting only of one leaf and one eyelet, so
arranged that by doubling over & fastening to itself it becomes attached to a
string S, the eyelet admitting of the attachment of label.
Figs. 4 & 5 the bent S and C wire attachments respectively.
Fig. 6. Perspective view of the single leaf attachment.
This attachment is also designed for docketing any papers plans or the like
kept in rolls or packets in "pigeon_holes so that each such roll or packet may
be readily distinguished and selected without deranging the whole of the contents
of such pigeon hole.
It will be seen that this means of attachment is also very suitable where it is
required to attach a label to a box, parcel, or document, or in fact in its single
and double form in any position to which the attachment could be supplied, thus
dispensing with the employment of strings or tacks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is―
I claim as my invention:-
The single or double leaf attachment B B provided with adhesive material as
described fitted to any label A by an S or C hook or bent wire or link or its
equivalent, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
