PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement or Improvements in Attaching Labels, Trade Marks,
and the like to the Frames of Umbrellas and Parasols.
We, WILLIAM ALLEN BINDLEY and WILLIAM JAMES GELL both of,
Armstrong Works, Chester Street, Aston Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
'
In the Complete Specification of an application for Patent made by us in con-
junction with Ambrose Frederick Boham on the 26th of September 1891 No. 16359
there is described and represented a mount or carrier for attaching trade mark.
and other labels to the ribs or stretchers of umbrellas and parasols, the said mount
consisting of a small shallow metallic trough shaped carrier having spring or elastic
teeth or projections on its longer sides for clipping the rib or stretcher and attaching
the mount thereto; the label is introduced into the shallow trough and secured in
its place by adhesive matter.
Our invention consists in securing the said labels in the said trough shaped
carriers in the following manner.
'
We make the said labels preferably of thin sheet metal having a white ground
on which ground the trade mark or the like is printed. The strip of sheet metal
has a size and shape suitable for fitting in the shallow trough mount or carrier,
and has at each end a small projection or tongue. At each end of the trough of:
the carrier is a piercing of a size suitable for the reception of the said small pro-
jections or tongues. In attaching the label to the carrier the projections or.
tongues are bent at right angles to the plane of the label and the label being.
placed in the carrier the said tongues are passed through the holes in the carrier.
By pressure the said tongues are bent under the bottom of the carrier and the
label is thereby secured in its place. The carrier is then fixed to the rib or
stretcher in the manner described in the Complete Specification hereinbefore:
referred to.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement or Improvements in Attaching Labels, Trade Marks,
and the like to the Frames of Umbrellas and Parasols.
We WILLIAM ALLEN BINDLEY and WILLIAM JAMES GELL, both of
Armstrong Works Chester Street, Aston Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
In the Complete Specification of a Patent granted to us in conjunction with
Ambrose Frederick Boham on the 26th of September 1891 No. 16359 there is
described and represented a mount or carrier for attaching trade mark and other
labels to the ribs or stretchers of umbrellas and parasols the said mount consisting
of a small shallow metallic trough shaped carrier, having spring or elastic teeth or
projections on its longer sides for clipping the rib or stretcher and attaching the
DiQ21

page_text: mount thereto; the label is introduced into the shallow trough and secured in its
place by adhesive matter.
Our invention consists in securing labels, trade marks and the like in the said
trough shaped carriers in the following manner.
We make the said labels preferably of thin sheet metal having a white ground,
on which ground the trade mark or the like is printed. The strip of sheet metal
has a size and shape suitable for fitting in the shallow trough mount or carrier and
has at each end a small projection or tongue. At each end of the trough of the
carrier is a piercing of a size suitable for the reception of the said small projections
or tongues. In attaching the label to the carrier the projections or tongues are
bent at right angles to the plane of the label and the label being placed in the
-carrier the said tongues are passed through the holes in the carrier. By pressure
the said tongues are bent under the bottom of the carrier and the label is thereby
secured in its place. The carrier is then fixed to the rib or stretcher in the manner
described in the Complete Specification hereinbefore referred to.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in longitudinal section and
plan of upper side, a sheet metallic trough shaped mount or carrier, drawn to a
large scale, of the kind hereinbefore referred to, the said mount consisting of a
shallow trough a having spring or elastic teeth b, b on its longer sides for clipping
the rib or stretcher. In the said shallow trough a the label or trade mark is
secured in the manner hereinafter described.
Figure 2 represents one of the partly made labels which we use and Figure 3
represents the finished label ready to be attached to the mount or carrier. The
label is marked c and is preferably made of thin sheet metal having a white ground
ou which ground the trade mark or the like is printed. The labels are printed on
a sheet side by side and from the sheet partly made labels of the kind represented
in Figure 2 are cut, the label having at its ends reduced parts or ears d, d which
are bent at right angles to the label as represented in Figure 3 so as to form small
tongues or projections e, e. The label thus made has a size and shape suitable for
fitting in the shallow trough a of the mount or carrier. In order to secure the
label c to the mount or carrier, a piercing is made in each end of the trough a
as represented in Figure 4, the said piercings f,f being of a size suitable for the
reception of the said small projections or tongues e, e on the label c.
In attaching the label Figure 3 to the carrier or mount Figure 4, the said label
is placed in the trough a of the carrier or mount and the projections or tongues e, e
are passed through the holes or piercings f, f at the ends of the trough. By
pressure or percussion the said projections or tongues e, e are bent under the
bottom of the carrier or mount and the label c is secured in its place as represented
in longitudinal section cross section and plan of upper side in Figure 5 where the
tongues bent under the bottom of the carrier are marked e, e.
Figure 6 represents the mount or carrier to which the label has been attached
fixed to the rib or stretcher g by the spring teeth or projections b, b clipping the
sides of the rib or stretcher.
Although we have represented our method of attaching trade mark and other
labels to the patented mounts or carriers before referred to yet the said method of
attaching trade mark and other labels may be applied to all kinds of metallic
mounts or carriers in which the mount or carrier is provided with a shallow trough
or depression at top in which the label is fitted and secured.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention
and the manner in which the same is to be performed we wish it to be understood
that we claim as the said invention :-
The improvement or improvements herein before described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing in securing trade mark and other labels in the shallow
trough shaped sheet metal mounts or carriers used for attaching the said labels to
the ribs and stretchers of umbrellas and parasols; that is to say; providing the
ends of the sheet metal labels with tongues or projections and the ends of the

page_text: mounts or carriers with holes or piercings for receiving the said tongues or
projections and by pressure or percussion bending the said tongues or projections
under the bottom of the mounts or carriers for securing the labels in their places
substantially as described and illustrated:
