do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:---
It is formed of wire of any size or material and attachable to trunks, bags, and
packages of every description, railway trucks, public hall seats, shop goods and
exhibits of every description.
It consists of a piece of wire coiled once at its middle length and in a flat posi-
tion as shown at A in Figure 1 on the accompanying drawing, so that the end of
the label or ticket may be inserted between the coil.
This forms a grip for one end and is hereinafter called the "Coil Grip."
The both parts of the wire are then carried in opposite directions along the
underside of label or ticket until they reach the edges of same as shown at B
Fig. 1 of the aforesaid drawing, where they are folded over on to the top of the
label or ticket, bent lengthwise with same and carried along the top of it to with-
in a short distance of the opposite end as shown at C-Fig. 1 on the aforesaid draw-
ing where they again bend at right angles and fold over to the under side of label
or ticket and run in a breadthwise direction until they meet at the centre line as
shown at D-Fig. 1 on the aforesaid drawing. At this point they bend at right
angles again and run lengthwise beyond the end of the label or ticket for a dis-
tance E, as shown in Fig. 1 on the aforesaid drawing, equal to the diameter of
the Coil Grip" at the opposite end and then are folded over on to the top of the
label or ticket extending back to a point over the point D before mentioned.
"
This latter forms a grip at the other end of the holder and is hereinafter called
the "Slide Grip."
The foregoing constitutes all that portion of the invention which the applicant
seeks to protect: the mode of attachment being subject to modification according
to the purpose for which the label or ticket holder is required, -e.g. fitted with an
extra and extended coil on "Coil Grip" end as shown at F in Fig. 1 on the afore-
said drawing, when used for trunks, bags, packages & the like; and with exten-
sions at either "Coil Grip" end or Slide Grip end to form hooks or clips in
..
cases of shop goods, theatre seats and the like.

To fill: One end of label or ticket is passed up through the holder into the
"Slide Grip" and slid into it until the other end is clear to enter the "Coil
Grip" when it is slid back into same.
Dated this 25th day of April 1899.

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:-
It is of varying dimensions and is formed of wire of any size or material and
attachable to trunks, bags, and packages of every description, railway trucks,
public hall seats, shop goods and exhibits of every description.
It consists of a piece of wire coiled once at about its middle length and in a
flat position as shown at A in Figure 1 on the drawing left with the Provisional
Specification so that one end of a label or ticket may be inserted between the coil.
This forms a grip at one end of the holder and is hereinafter called the "Coil
Grip."
One part of the wire is then extended beyond the end of the ticket or label to
form another coil or hook or other suitable provision for attachment to the various
articles hereinbefore specified but the form of which it is not desired to protect
by Letters Patent.
After forming this provision for attachment this part of the wire returns by
the side of the coil grip and on the underside of the label or ticket as far as
the inmost edge of the coil grip, where it bends at right angles and runs to the
edge of label or ticket.
The other end of the wire also runs from the coil grip to the opposite edge of
the label or ticket and on the underside of same.
Where these wires reach the edges on either side they fold over on to the top
of same as shown at B in the afore mentioned drawing, bent lengthwise with same
and carried along the top to within a short distance of the opposite end as shown
at C on the aforementioned drawing where they again bend at right angles and
fold over to the underside of label or ticket and run in a breadthwise direction
until they meet at the centre line as shown at 1) on aforesaid drawing.
At this point they bend at right angles again and run lengthwise beyond the
end of the label or ticket for a distance E as shown on the aforementioned draw-
ing, equal to the diameter of the coil grip at the opposite end, and then are
folded over on to the top of the label or ticket extending back to a point over the
point D before mentioned.
This latter forms a grip at the other end of the holder and is hereinafter called
the Slide Grip."
This slide grip may also be extended to form some provision for attachment
but the form of this also it is not desired to protect by Letters Patent.
To fill: One end of label or ticket is passed up through the holder into the
slide grip and slid into it until the other end is clear to enter the coil grip when
it is slid back into same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is-
(1) That the idea of the coil and slide grips is entirely new and solely my own
invention.

page_text: (2) That the general form of the holder as hereinbefore described is entirely
new and solely my own invention.
(3) That the use of wire in its manufacture is new and solely my own invention.
