page_text: I, ADOLPH ROSENTHAL, of 44, St. Paul's Church Yard, in the City of London,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to labels, tags, and the like, and has for its object
the provision of means whereby the part of label or tag by which its attach-
ment to any article is made much stronger, and more secure than exists in
labels as made hitherto.
I am aware that card-board or similar washers have been applied about the
hole through which the attaching cord or string is threaded also that metal
eyelets have been inserted into the said hole, both devices having the same
object in view iz:-the strengthening of the label at the point of attachment.
My invention consists of a combination washer and eyelet of metal or other
suitable material which is adapted to be attached to the label around the hole
in the label and also at the periphery of the washer so as to form a very secure
means of attachment over a considerable area of the label covered by the washer.
To carry my invention into effect I form a washer of any suitable shape of
tin or other equivalent material and I provide in the centre thereof a flange
or a series of projections or teeth which can be passed through the hole in
the label and turned over on the opposite side of the label so as to grip the
same and form a firm attachment.
I also form around or close to the periphery of the metal washer a series
of tongues or projections which are passed through the body of the label and
are bent over or clamped on the opposite side thereof so as to form a firm
attachment thereto.
In this way the washer is attached firmly at its central and peripheral por-
tions and at the same time a metallic eyelet is formed through which the
attaching string or cord is threaded and in this way I spread the strain that
may be transmitted through the eyelet over a considerable area of the label
and thus reduce the risk of tearing the same during its use on a parcel or
the like in transit or in use.
Further the form and attachment of the combination washer eye is such
as to lend itself very readily to cheap manufacture.

page_text: I, ADOLPH ROSENTHAL, of 44, St. Paul's Church Yard, in the City of London,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to labels, tags, and the like, and has for its object
the provision of means whereby the part of label or tag by which its attach-
ment to any article is made much stronger and more secure than exists in
labels as made hitherto.
I am aware that card-board or similar washers have been applied about the
hole through which the attaching cord or string is threaded also that, metal
eyelets have been inserted into the said hole, both devices having the same
object in view viz:-the strengthening of the label at the point of attachment.
My invention consists of a combination washer and eyelet of metal or other
suitable material which is adapted to be attached to the label around the hole
in the label and also at the periphery of the washer so as to form a very secure
means of attachment over a considerable area of the label covered by the washer.
To carry my invention into effect I form a washer of any suitable shape of
tin or other equivalent material and I provide in the centre thereof a flange
or a series of projections or teeth which can be passed through the hole,.,.in
the label and turned over on the opposite side of the label so as to grip the
same and form a firm attachment.
I also form around or close to the periphery of the metal washer a series
of tongues or projections which are passed through the body of the label and
are bent over or clamped on the opposite side thereof so as to form a firm
attachment thereto.
In this way the washer is attached firmly at its central and peripheral por-
tions and at the same time a metallic eyelet is formed through which the
attaching string or cord is threaded and in this way I spread the, strain that
may be transmitted through the eyelet over a considerable area of the label
and thus reduce the risk of tearing the same during its use on a parcel or
the like in transit or in use.

Further the form and attachment of the combination washer-eye is such
as to lend itself very readily to cheap manufacture.
.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I will now proceed
to describe the same in relation to the accompanying drawings reference being
had to the letters and figures marked thereon.
Like letters refer to like parts in the various figures:
Figure 1 is a view of a label with my improved eyelet washer attached.
Figure 2 is a view on the opposite side thereof.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a washer with tongues around the periphery
ready for insertion into the label.
Figure 4 is a sectional view of such washer clamped to the label by the
tongues and eyelet.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of washer with tongues
arranged in the body of the washer near the periphery.
Figure 6 is a sectional view of such washer clamped to the label by the
tongues and eyelet.
It will be seen that the label A is perforated with a central hole and a
series of incisions in a circle around the central hole.

page_text: The washer B is provided with a central eyelet C and a series of tongues
around or near the periphery of the washer.
These are passed through the central hole and incisions respectively in the
label and are bent over so as to clamp the label on the opposite side to that
of the washer and fixedly attach it thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1st. An eyelet washer for a label or the like consisting of a washer of metal
or the like having a central eyelet hole and a series of tongues or the like
round or near the periphery of the washers, the eyelet and tongues_being
adapted to pass through the washer and be bent down or clamped on the
opposite side of the label, substantially as described.
2nd. An eyelet washer for a label or the like constructed and arranged,
substantially as described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
