CUMPLEIE DIMITIVATION.
Improvements in Label or Ticket Holders or Fasteners, also applic-
able for Suspending Photographs, Pictures, Advertisement Cards
and other Articles.
I, HENRI DORIZY, of 6, Boulevard des Capucines, Paris, France, Gentleman, 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 invention relates to a pin of steel or other metal, intended to be fixed to
tickets or labels of cardboard, which may then be hung on any articles on show
or otherwise and may if desired be used to support photographs, pictures, adver-
tisements and other objects in cardboard or other similar material.
The advantages of this kind of pin are that it can be fixed quickly to the
article to be supported by the simple pressure of the fingers, and can be readily
removed therefrom, without damaging either the article or the pin itself which
may thus serve indefinitely. A further advantage of these pins is that they are
quite invisible, as they are always applied to the back of the article to be sup-
ported, without completely piercing through same.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of one of the pins,
Fig 2 a side elevation of same, and
.
Fig. 3 a similar view of such pin attached to a ticket or label by its points.
These views are drawn to a scale twice the natural size, and only show a suitable
form of construction of the pin as an example.
The pin ticket or label holder in question is formed of a plate a of metal,
preferably of steel, the form of which in the, example shown in the drawings is
that of a disc, but which may be of any other suitable form, such as oval, square, or
of any angular form and design at will.
This disc a is surmounted by a tongue b which terminates the top, and which
is bent over in the form of a hook to serve for hanging and fixing the pin label
or ticket holder with its label or ticket to any article and in any desired position.
The said disc a is perforated by means of slots c, c, three of which are shown in
the drawing, but the number of which may be varied, and the material displaced
from these slots or openings is bent back at right angles behind such disc, and
form projecting tempered points d, d, of small height, sufficient only to enable
them, on account of their penetration, to secure the pin to the card, but without
however completely piercing through same.
As hereinbefore stated, and as shown in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawing,
the pin a is fixed to the cardboard of a ticket or label e for example, by forcing
by the simple pressure of the finger or thumb, the points d into the said card c,
on the rear side of the latter, and remains perfectly invisible on the front side.
If desired subsequently to remove the pin from the card, this can be done by
simply pulling it off, without damaging anything, so that the two articles may
be used indefinitely.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
A pin ticket or label holder or carrier made of metal, preferably steel, to be
secured at will to any ticket, label, or other article of cardboard, such pin being
formed with tempered points, produced by displacing a part of the material of
which the pin is made by making slots or openings in the said material, these
points being forced into the cardboard of the ticket, label or other article by simple
pressure as described, and such pin having further a hook for suspending or hook-
ing the article supported by same in any position and to any article on show, the
whole substantially as herein described and as shown in the example of the pin
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
