PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Label Fastener, suitable for Luggage, Paroels, Plants, and
other Articles and Purposes.
FREDERICK EDMOND HARVEY of 7 Douglas Terrace, Douglas Road, Surbiton
Hill in the County of Surrey Axle Cap Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
The affixing of labels to luggage, parcels, or other articles with greater facility
and security.
Instead of the ordinary string attachment, I provide a piece of tin or other
suitable material of a T shape, the ends of top part being pointed are turned up
and pressed through the end of label or ticket, the points are-then-flattened over
thus securing the top end of fastener to the label, or instead of T piece I have a
piece of material of similar length but terminating in an eyelet to which the label
is fastened. The straight piece then stands out from the end of the label and in
order to fasten label to luggage, parcel or other article it is simply necessary to
push the end of fastener under string with which article is tied or around handle or
other suitable place on luggage parcel or article then turn the end over once or
twice, by which means the label is effectually secured.

Improved Label Fastener, suitable for Luggage, Parcels, Plants, and
other Articles and Purposes.
I FREDERICK EDMOND HARVEY of 7 Douglas Terrace, Douglas Road,
Surbiton Hill, Surrey, Label Manufacturer 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 do away with the necessity of tying the label
by means of strings and the affixing of labels to luggage, parcels, and other like
articles with greater facility and security than heretofore.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood I will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figs. 1
and 3 shew a label as it would appear before being attached and Figs. 2 and 4 shew
the same attached.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the views.
a shews the label 6 piece of soft metal attached thereto as at Figs. 1 and 2 or
3 and 4.
At Fig. 1 the piece of metal 6 is secured to the label a by means of an eyelet
passed through the label a as at Figs. 1 and 2.
At Figs. 3 and 4 the piece b is secured to the label a by the eyelet h. The
piece b is provided with two tongues f g for the purpose hereinafter described.
Although I have described and shewn the piece of metal b, flat, I may have this
of any other suitable form in section, and either form may be fastened to label by
pointe, eyelet, or other suitable means.
In order to attach a label to the required article to the string or handle for
example, the piece of metal b is put under the said string or handle and then

page_text: turned over the same, and if the said piece of metal is of a T form as shewn at
Fig. 1 the ends c c are turned over the piece b as shewn at Fig. 2 or if the piece is
made as shown at Fig. 3 then the end of such piece is turned over so that the
slot d comes over the tongues fg which latter are passed through the slot d and
the tongues fg are turned back as shewn at Fig. 4.
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 :-
