PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New and Improved Holder for Luggage Labels.
I HENRY GOLDING JOY of 4 Bath Terrace Tynemouth in the County of
Northumberland Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of this invention is to make a holder for luggage labels which shall
contain a number of such labels in a continuous roll or length so that when one label is
used another may easily be brought into position thus avoiding the necessity of having
to search for fresh labels each time one is required.
According to this invention I form a frame of metal or other suitable material the
back of such frame being closed by a hinged flap and to one end of said flap I suitably
connect a cylindrical receptacle capable of holding a continuous length of labels rolled
up which roll may be mounted on a spindle revolving in aforesaid receptacle.
The back and hinged portion of the aforesaid frame is formed semi cylindrical so as
to cover the aforesaid roll of labels and the continuous roll of labels may be perforated
so that when the frame is opened the used label may easily be torn off and a new label
can then be brought into position.
I propose to have a hole at one end of the aforesaid frame so that the holder may be
attached to the luggage.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New and Improved Holder for Luggage Labels.
I HENRY GOLDING JOY of 4 Bath Terrace Tynemouth in the County of
Northumberland, Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this 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 this invention is to make a holder for luggage labels which shall
contain a number of such labels in a continuous roll or length so that when one label
is used another may easily be brought into position thus avoiding the necessity of
having to search for fresh labels each time one is required.
According to this invention I form a frame of metal or other suitable material the
back of such frame being closed by a hinged flap and to one end of said flap I suitably
connect a receptacle preferably cylindrical capable of holding a continuous length
of labels rolled up which roll may be mounted on a spindle revolving in aforesaid
receptacle.
The back and hinged portion of the aforesaid frame is formed semi cylindrical so as
to cover the aforesaid roll of labels and the continuous roll of labels may be perforated
so that when the frame is opened the used label may easily be torn off and a new label
can then be brought into position.
I propose to have a hole at one end of the aforesaid frame so that the holder may be
ttached to the luggage.
And in order to explain my said invention more fully I will now proceed to describe
he same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 shews view of my improved holder complete and as it would appear when
n use.
Fig. 2 shews view of same open and ready for inserting the roll of labels and
Fig. 3 shews section through the line x x at Fig. 2.

page_text: The same letters denote the same parts in all the views. A shews the holder to which
is hinged the cylindrical portion E having connected thereto the flap c.
The cylindrical portion E is shewn provided with a spindle F to carry a roll of labels,
but I may dispense with this spindle and place the roll loosely in the cylinder E.
B Fig. 1 shews a label drawn in position on the flap c and this is held firmly by being
forced on to the spikes or projections D. D. which enter the indentures Di D¹ of the
holder A.
The labels may be perforated between each one so that the used one may easily be
detached in order to bring a new one into position.
In order to use the improved holder it is simply necessary to open it as at Fig. 2 and
place a roll of labels in the cylindrical portion E on the spindle F (when a spindle is
provided in which case the spindle may be removed by unscrewing the nut at either
end of the cylinder) or loosely if there is no spindle then draw the first label on the
roll over the flap c. so that the spikes D. D. come through the label when closed and
the holder is in the position shewn at Fig. 1 the required direction can then be written
on the label B. if this has not already been done and the holder can then be attached
to the luggage by means of the hole c².
The holder may be made of metal leather or other suitable material and will be
found very convenient for parties travelling from place to place as a new label is always
ready to be brought into position.
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 :-
I. In an improved holder for luggage labels the combination of the cylindrical
portion E. and roll of labels B. substantially as set forth.
II. The improved holder for luggage labels substantially as set forth.
