Student, 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

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows an outer view of a dog collar with an intermediate portion of its
length broken away and showing my improvements applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a side view of a piece of elastic web and tape referred to hereafter.
On the underside of each dog collar a pocket is formed of leather or webbed
material 1 by stitching through it and the collar near each edge, both ends of the
pocket being left open. At the end of the pocket nearest the buckle end of the
collar a slotted metal plate 2 is securely rivetted to the collar on the outside, a like
slot being cut through the leather or other material forming the collar.
A piece of webbing 3 is secured at one end by stitching or rivetting it to a piece
of elastic web 4 having the loose end formed into a loop by rivetting or stitching to
admit of a bent cottar pin 5 being passed into it. The loose end of the webbing 3
be attached to a small ring or a clip of metal 6 and have the owners name and
address written or stamped on the upper side of the webbing.
may
The webbings 3 and 4 when joined together are somewhat shorter than the length
of the pocket, the loose end of the webbing 4 is passed through the pocket and
stretched beyond the end of the pocket, into which it is prevented from returning
by inserting a bent cotter pin 5, the ends of the pin resting upon the sides of the
pocket, the elastic holds the ring or clip 6 close up to the slot in the plate 2. By
taking hold of the protruding clip 6 the webbing may be partially withdrawn from the
pocket and the name and address of the owner revealed to sight, upon releasing the
clip the elastic 4 will pull the webbing 3 into the pocket with the clip 6 resting on
the plate 2 as shown at Figure 1.
