page_text: I, CHRISTIAN PETER CHRISTLIEB of 63 Howson Road, Brockley, in the County
of Kent, Photographic Ticket Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CLIPS OR FASTENINGS FOR ATTACHING WINDOW
TICKETS TO VARIOUS ARTICLES, PARTICULARLY BOOTS OR SHOES to be as
follows:-
"
The object of this invention is to provide a simple and efficient clip or fastener for
attaching tickets to various articles to be exposed for sale in shop windows-This clip
or fastener is particularly applicable for attaching such tickets to boots and shoes
but may also be used with advantage in any other case where it is necessary or
desirable to attach a ticket to any article for the purpose of calling public attention
to the same.
My improved clip or fastener is made in the following manner-A piece of wire,
either iron, steel, or copper is bent into a form resembling the letter T-The two
ends of the piece of wire are allowed to overlap each other in the centre of the
cross bar of the T thus making a sort of spring which holds the ticket firmly in its
place when the two ends of the cross bar are pulled in opposite directions to admit
of the insertion of the same, the ends being turned in towards the centre of the T
to prevent the ticket from slipping out of position.
The ticket may thus be held by the clip at any elevation that may be best suited
for the article it is to be attached to and for the full display of the same.
The advantages claimed for this clip are, that a ticket which it is desired to
attach to any article can be attached in such a manner as to display article and
ticket to the best advantage, as the clip may be fastened on either end, or the
middle of the ticket as may be found suitable for the article and the position the
same is to be placed in.
The present method of fixing a strip of card at the back of the ticket prevents
the ticket's being attached to the desired object except in one position, and the
ticket, therefore especially in the case of boots and shoes is often more than half
hid from sight.
The clip may be reversed and attached to hooks or rods and small articles
suspended from the overlapping ends in the centre of the cross bar thereby
exposing both article and ticket to view,

I, CHRISTIAN PETER CHRISTLIEB of 63 Howson Road, Brockley, Kent Photo-
graphic Ticket Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN CLIPS OR FASTENINGS FOR ATTACHING WINDOW TICKETS TO
VARIOUS ARTICLES, PARTICULARLY BOOTS OR SHOES " 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 this invention is to provide a simple and efficient clip or fastener
for attaching tickets to various articles to be exposed for sale in shop windows
This clip or fastener is particularly applicable for attaching such tickets to boots
and shoes but may also be used with equal advantage in any other case where it is
necessary or desirable to attach a ticket to any article for the purpose of calling
attention to the same.
My improved clip or fastener is made in the following manner-A piece of wire,
oither iron, steel, or copper is bent into the shape shown in Fig 1 by any convenient
method. It will be seen that the two ends of the wire lap over each other at A. A
thus making a sort of spring which holds the ticket firmly in its place when the
two sides B B are pulled in opposite directions to admit of the insertion of the said
ticket.
The end view of the clip as seen in Fig 2 shows how the sides are bent round
at C C to grasp the ticket.
The ticket may thus be held by the clip at any elevation that may be best suited
for the article it is to be attached to and for the full display of the same.
It will be seen that a ticket which it is desired to attach to any article by means
of this clip or fastener can be attached in such a manner as to display both article
and ticket to the best advantage as the clip may be fastened on either end or the
middle of the ticket as may be found suitable for the article and the position the
same is to be placed in.
The present method of fixing a strip of card at the back of the ticket prevents
the ticket from being attached to the desired object except in one position and the
ticket therefore especially in the case of boots and shoes is often more than half
hid from sight.
The clip may be reversed and attached to hooks or rods and small articles
suspended from the points A A, at the same time holding the ticket between the
sides B B thereby exposing both article and ticket to view.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
nvention and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is
The clip or fastening herein described as being an entirely new and original
means of displaying window tickets and the several articles to which it may be
desired to attach them, to the best advantage.
