page_text: I RICHARD WHITAKER of Fair View Bacchus Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This Invention consists of a clip for holding any rolled material such as tape of all
descriptions surgical bandages elastic or other webbing, silk binding india rubber
metallic ribbon or any material capable of being made up in rolls, the construction of
the clip being such that while the clip holds the roll together it yet allows of any
required length being withdrawn without displacing the clip.
This clip consists of a piece of metal or other material formed or bent over so as to
loosely clip the sides of the roll. The portion of the clip which overlaps the face of
the roll being cut with two slots the loose end of the rolled material is passed once
through the two slots and then being passed round the roll is again passed through
one slot only, when desired any greater number of slots may be employed but in all
cases the tape must be passed through a less number the second time than the
first.
It will then be found that although the clip holds the roll together the whole
or any desired length of the roll can be unrolled without removing the clip.
Slots may be cut in the overlapping sides of the clip for the insertion of a slip or
ticket.
In some cases it will not be necessary for the clip to be constructed with overlapping
sides but be simply formed similar to a buckle slide.

page_text: I RICHARD WHITAKER of Fair View Bacchus Road Birmingham in the County of
Warwick 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, reference-being-had to the accompanying drawings
and to the letters and figures marked thereon:-
This invention consists of a clip for holding any rolled material such as tape of all
descriptions surgical bandages, elastic or other webbing, silk binding, india rubber,
metallic ribbon or any material capable of being made up in rolls, the construction of
the clip being such that while the clip holds the roll together it yet allows of any
required length being withdrawn without displacing the clip.
This clip consists of a piece of metal or other material formed or bent over so as to
loosely clip the sides of the roll.
The portion of the clip which overlaps the face of the roll being cut with two or
more slots, the loose end of the rolled material is passed through the slots once or
oftener if desired and then being passed round the roll is again passed through one
slot or two or more if desired, in all cases the tape should be passed through a less
number the second time than the first excepting when it is passed through only
one at first when it should be passed through the same one after passing round
the roll.
It will then be found that although the clip holds the roll together the whole or
any desired length of the roll can be unrolled without removing the clip, slots
may be cut in the overlapping sides of the clip for the insertion of a slip or
ticket.
In some cases it will not be necessary for the clip to be constructed with over-
lapping sides but be simply formed similar to a buckle slide.
Referring to the accompanying drawings
•
Fig. 1 represents a side view of a clip upon a roll.
Fig. 2 a view shewing the top of the same clip (a, b, c) are slots cut in the face
of the clip. The end of the roll is passed through any of the slots for instance
through (a) and (b) and then passed round the roll and through the slot (b) or (c)
when it will be found that the tape may be drawn through the clip without
removing it from off the tape or causing the remainder of the tape to become
unrolled the clip travelling down the tape until it comes to the inner end thereof.
Fig. 3 shows another form of clip with a raised bar (d) or instead of the raised bar
an elastic band (9) Fig. 4 may be used.

page_text: When desired the clipping sides (e) may be dispensed with and only the upper or
face portion be used as before stated. Or the sides may be slotted as at (f) to receive
a ticket or slip.
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
A clip for holding rolled material constructed so as to allow the material to pass
through it and hold it substantially as described and illustrated.
