Improvements in or connected with Label or Tablet and like Holders
for Cycles, Vehicles, Persons, Plants, Birds, or Animals, or other
like or suitable purposes.
I, GEORGE CAPEWELL, of 125, Lennox Street, Aston juxta, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Toolmaker, 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 object of these improvements is to form or construct a case or receptacle or
shield for protecting or holding name or name and address or identification cards or
tablets or labels for cycles, vehicles, persons, plants, birds, or animals, and the like,
parts of which are also applicable to bottles, trunks or other like or suitable purposes,
and consists in forming a suitably shaped transparent case or receptacle or shield of
glass or other suitable transparent material or substance and connecting or attaching
thereto a suitably shaped clip or clips or holdfasts, flexible or otherwise, either
separate or in combination with a fastening lever or screw pin which said clip or.
clips or holdfasts may be hinged or jointed or made in two or more parts for the
purpose of attaching or holding the said case or receptacle or shield or connecting
the same to a cycle, plant-stick or equivalent or other desired article or object or the
said clip or clips or holdfasts or equivalents may be attached to or formed out of any
convenient part of a cycle, plant-stick or equivalent or other article for this purpose,
also providing the said case or receptacle with a cap or cover of rubber or felt or
other like suitable material separate or in combination with a metallic holder
or fastening, for the purpose of closing or covering the open part of the case or
receptacle, or I may form on or connect to the end of the plant-stick or equivalent
suitable means for this purpose and also provide the same with a label clip. The
above mentioned rubber cover may also be made to slide over the case or receptacle
or shield and protect the same from injury when desired or to other cases or shields
used for the same purpose. I may also form the case or receptacle or shield with a
socket or other suitable projecting piece at its centre or other convenient part

page_text: which may be screwed or otherwise for attaching to a plant-stick or equivalent or
other article or provide the same with a swivel joint or other suitable ineans whereby
the case or receptacle or shield may be retained in any desired position. When
desired the transparent case or receptacle or shield may be made circular, oval or
other like suitable shape or in two or more parts jointed or otherwise and fastened
at its ends by leaden or other soft rivets, eyelets, sewing or other suitable means or the
said case or receptacle or shield may be recessed for the label or the like and used
in combination with a rubber, metallic or other lining or holder when applied or
attached to tubing or other suitable articles or objects.
In forming a case or receptacle or shield for the above mentioned purpose and
which may be attached to garments of persons or other suitable or like articles I
by preference use the receptacle or shield formed with a recess on its underside for
the label or other like article which said label or other like article may be held
therein by means of a rubber washer or pad or equivalent separate or in combination
with a metallic plate or washer or equivalent which may be split if desired, and
provide the same with holes for sewing on, or other suitable means of fastening or
attaching. The above mentioned recessed case or shield may also be provided with
a pin or pins nuts or cotters or equivalents, or a leaden or soft rivet or eyelet or
equivalent for the purpose of attaching the same to trunks or boxes or other like
articles or objects when desired, either passing through holes or attached thereto.
Further relates to that class of case or receptacles which are provided with sliding
or pivotted lids and which lid may be made transparent or they may contain a transparent
label or tablet and providing the same at one or both ends with holes for the
purpose of retaining the lid in position and fastening the same by means of a paper
fastener or equivalent sewing or sealing.
Further improvements consist in applying the transparent case or receptacle or
shield to bottles or other like articles and consists in forming out of or moulding or
cementing thereto one or more transparent cases or receptacles or shields for the
above mentioned purpose or forming the same in one or more parts either of glass or
a combination of glass and other suitable transparent material or the before.
mentioned recessed case or shield and combined parts may be inserted through a hole
for this purpose.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and easily carried into
practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which
I bave illustrated several examples of my improved labels and tablets.
In carrying my invention into practice I forin the face al of iny label or tablet
holder A from glass or other suitable transparent material or substance and this face I fit
into the frame a, in the bottom of which I place a rubber washer so that when the
parts are secured together by the screwed pin ³ or a rivet or its equivalent it
forms an air-tight joint. This label holder may be mounted on the frame B and
provided with the hinged clip C as shown at Figures 1, 2 and 3 when attaching
my label holder to any part of a cycle frame or to any other article. Or the tablet
holder frame or clip may be formed out of the mud guard of a cycle or other
convenient part of the cycle or other article by piercing or forcing tongue pieces
out of the surface which are then turned over onto the edges of the frame. Or I
may enclose the transparent front a¹ in a rubber cap or case and secure the label
holder direct on to the article to which it is intended to be attached by the pin and
nut a³ as shown at Figures 4 and 5. When forming the transparent front of glass I
prefer to form it cone shape as shown at Figure 6, as this makes it stronger and less
liable to break. In some cases I may secure my transparent label to the spring
clip D or its equivalent as shown at Figures 7 and 8 by which means the label may
be attached to various articles such as flower pots, etc. Or in some cases I may
secure my label holder to a stick or peg E or its equivalent by forming the
projections a' and ' at either end; these projections fit under the loops el and e' as
clearly shown at Figure 9, thus forming a very handy label for indicating the
various names of plants. The label or tablet holder Fas shown at Figure 10 is
formed from glass or other transparent material, the open end being covered by the

page_text: rubber cap for its equivalent. The shank f is formed hollow so as to fit on to a
stick or other device. At Figure 11 I have shown my tablet or label holder formed
from glass or other transparent material, the open end being also covered with the
rubber cap f. This tablet holder is pivotted to the crosspiece f³, which is attached
to any suitable stem so that the angle of the label or tablet may be varied to suit
different positions. The transparent label holder H as shown at Figure 12 is held by
means of the wire frame to the ends of which I pivot the caps or their
equivalents hand in these caps I place rubber washers or covers or equivalents by
which means the holder is made perfectly air tight. The strap or band ³ may be
placed around the lower part of the frame for strengthening purposes. It will be seen
from the dotted lines that the transparent label holder may easily be taken out of its
frame. At Figure 13 I have shown a modification of this arrangement of label holder.
In this case I secure the transparent holder h* by means of the caps h5 and 6 or their
equivalents. These caps are attached to the ends of the rod or stem h over which
the transparent part h slides and on one end of this rod I screw the knob h8 or its
equivalent which holds them in position. The other end of this rod may be formed
with a spike so as to attach the label holder to a stick or other article. Or this end
of the rod h' may be secured in any other manner. At Figure 14 I have shown my
transparent tablet or label holder attached to the bottle K. In this case I forn with or
attach to the bottle the frame which I prefer to groove so as to receive the transparent
cover k² which slides into these grooves and may be held in position by any desired
means. In some cases I may attach the transparent label holders as shown at
Figures 4, 5 and 6 to a bottle by a lead rivet or cyclet or their equivalent. The
case of the transparent label holder as shown at Figure 15 is formed with the ears or
projections which have holes formed in them for attaching the label holder to a
garment or other article thereby forming a device for containing a badge or other
device. The ribs or projections are formed on the surface of the transparent part
so as to strengthen and protect it. This device may be provided with a hole in the
centre as a means for attachment. Further relates to that class of case or receptacles-
which are provided with sliding or pivotted lids as shown at Figure 19 which lid may
be made transparent or it may contain a transparent label or tablet and in providing
the same at one or both ends with the holes & for the purpose of retaining the lid
in position and fastening the same by means of a paper fastener or equivalent sewing
or sealing. Figures 16 and 17 show circular transparent label holding devices. In
the method as shown at Figure 16 I hinge the parts together at 1, the opposite end
having the clips n2 which are held together by the pin and nut n³ or its equivalent.
At Figure 17 the open ends of the transparent label holding device are closed by the
rubber cap n and I may provide the eye piece n5 as a means for attaching the device.
Or I may for my label holding device as shown at Figure 18 which consists of the
ring 1', the inner surface p' of which is recessed or grooved.
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 :-
. First. In label or tablet holding devices the use of the rubber pad or cover or its
equivalent in combination with a shield or case or receptacle as specified and shown
on the drawings.
Second. In label or tablet holding devices the use of the recessed transparent shield
either separate or in combination with a rubber washer, pad or cover or its equivalent
