1, HENRY SLINGSBY, trading as
Henry Slingsby and Son" of Nuneaton in the
County of Warwick Manufacturers of Emblematical Scarfs, and the like do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows :-
The loops labels and bands forming my invention are employed for the suspending
or hanging of articles of dress and such like purposes hitherto these loops have been
connected to the article, to be suspended by sewing the ends at a convenient part or
place and the difficulty or objection has been that the parts become detached, and
the article falls owing to the insecure method of fastening, occasioned by the
weight.
To remedy this defect is the aim and object of my invention which I will
describe as follows:-
I construct the label or band of any required shape or configuration suitable to
its purpose and of any suitable material that will admit of weaving, or similar
process, the surface of this label or band is to bear descriptive matter such as the
name and address of the manufacturer of the article to which the label and its loop
may be applied.
The cord or braid to form the loop in connection with the label or band may be
flat or round, or other shape in cross section, and of any suitable material that will
admit of weaving to or interweaving with the label or band during the process of
weaving the label or band so that the two parts are united and inseparable.
In some cases I may construct the cord or braid of a sufficient width to admit the
name and address or other matter to appear thereon.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Suspending Loops, Labels, and Bands, applicable
chiefly to Articles of Dress.
I, HENRY SLINGSBY, trading as Henry Slingsby and Son of Nuneaton in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturers of Emblematical Scarfs and the like, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
The loops, labels and bands forming my invention, are employed for the
suspending or hanging of articles of dress, and such like purposes. Hitherto these
loops have been connected to the article, to be suspended by securing the ends at a
convenient part or place, and the difficulty or objection has been that the parts
become detached, and the article falls owing to the insecure method of fastening
occasioned by the weight.
To remedy this defect is the aim and object of my invention, which I will
describe as follows :-
I construct the label or band of any required shape or configuration, suitable to
its purpose, and of any suitable material that will admit of weaving or similar
process. The surface of this label or band is to bear descriptive matter, such as the
name and address of the manufacturer of the article to which the said label or band
and its loop may be applied.

page_text: The cord or braid to form the loop in connection with the label or band may be
flat or round, or other shape in cross section and of any suitable material that will
admit of weaving to, or interweaving with the label or band during the process of
weaving the label or band, so that the two parts are united and inseparable.
In some cases I may construct the cord or braid of a sufficient width to admit the
name and address or other matter to appear thereon.
And in order that this my said invention may be more clearly understood, I
shall now proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose I
shall refer to the figures and letters on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed,
the same letters of reference indicating corresponding parts throughout.
Fig. 1 is a front view shewing our improvements in loops, and labels, or bands,
applicable chiefly to articles of dress,
Fig. 2 is a view of same taken from the upper edge.
Fig. 3 is a front view as Fig. 1, differing only in the shape of one part to be
hereafter explained.
Fig. 4 is a view of same taken from the upper edge.
a, is the label or band, of any required size, shape or configuration according to
the purpose employed, this form a, bears the name and address of the manufacturer,
of his special trade or occupation, b, is the cord, or braid, which forms the loop,
and by means of which the article or garment to which the loop and its label or
band is affixed is suspended.
In Fig. 2 and Fig. 1, b, (the cord or braid) which is flat is shewn woven to or
interwoven with the label or band a, which is according to my invention, and is
inseparable.
In Figs. 3 and 4 b (the cord or braid) which is round, is shewn woven to or
interwoven with the label or band a, which is according to my invention, and is
inseparable.
The label or band a, and the cord or braid b, may be woven, or produced by a
similar process, from any material that will admit of such process being effected.
The subject matter for the label or band u, or the braid 6 when so employed may
be carried out in the process of weaving, or by printing or any convenient manuer,
and woven as above set forth will not become obliterated as hitherto.
The above being my said invention I wish it to be understood in conclusion that
I do not limit myself to the precise details but that I hold myself at liberty
to alter or modify the same without departing essentially from the principle of my
said invention.
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
The "Improvements in suspending loops and labels or bands, applicable chiefly to
articles of dress" whereby the cord or braid b, is woven with or interwoven to the
label or band a, or the parts b, and a, connected by similar process or whereby the
parts b and a, become as one part, and are inseparable, substantially as and for
the purpose herein before described in foregoing Specification and illustrated on
the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Dated 8th June 1893.
