PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Price Ticket for Shop Use.
1, JAMES WILSON, of 12 Rose Street, Glasgow, North Britain, Master Butcher,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved price ticket for shop use, and consists of a
plate of pottery ware, on the face of which the price is indicated. On the back of
this plate there is a small projecting piece provided with a hole, through which a
metal spike having one or more forked ends, is inserted. The upper end of this
spike has a hook or catch fitted to it, and it is kept in position by having a small
piece of wire coiled round it at the part immediately underneath the hole in the
projecting piece; or the spike in its manufacture may be made thicker at this part,
which would serve the same purpose.

I, JAMES WILSON, of 12 Rose Street, Glasgow, North Britain, Master Butcher,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be perforined to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates to an improved price ticket for shop use and consists of a
plate or tablet of pottery ware, on the face of which the price is indicated.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, in the several
figures of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of
reference.
Figure is a front elevation of a price ticket constructed according to my
invention.
Figure 2 is a back view of the same.
Figures 3 and 4 are also front elevation and back view respectively of a price
ticket of a simpler form of construction.
The plate or tablet A is formed of pottery ware, porcelain, or analogous material,
and as indicated, as seen, on the face side of the plate the price or figure which is
intended to be represented. The back of the said plate or tablet A is constructed
with two cross projecting pieces or snugs a, b, provided with holes c, d, through
which a metal spike, pin, or skewer B is inserted, and rigidly held in position. To
enable this being done the spike B is bent into a loop e, just beneath the lower
snug b, and above the loop e the said spike B has formed upon it a shoulder f
formed of solder, or otherwise, while the upper end of the spike B, or the wire of
which it is composed, passes through the hole of the upper snug a, and by this
means is retained in position.

page_text: In lieu of this attachment, a short length of tube f (shown in dotted lines ia
Figure 2) is inserted between the two snugs a and b. Through this tube f the wire
is passed and secured in position by being soldered to the tube. A hole g is
formed in the tube to allow of the two pieces being soldered together.
In Figure 4 another method of attaching the spike B to the plate is illustrated,
which consists of fitting a hook or catch to the upper end of the spike B, which
is kept in position by having a small piece of wire i coiled round it at the part
immediately underneath the hole in the snug or projecting piece a, which is
soldered to the spike; or the spike in its manufacture may be made thicker at this
part, which would serve the same purpose.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
A price ticket for shop windows consisting of the combination of a plate or
tablet formed of pottery ware or like material with a metal spike, substantially as
described and illustrated in the drawings.
Dated this 14th day of June 1895.
