To facilitate the attachment of the said badge to the person, we provide
the lower extremity of it, with a spud shaped extension or tongue, which is placed
at the back of the band of a hat, cap or the like, or the same may be provided
with a safety pin or other like device for its attachment to the clothes of a person,
or a depending spring tongue, with a bulbous end may be fashioned from out of the
metal of the frame, and which, when in use, is passed into the button hole of an
article of dress.
Or the badge may be pierced entirely about its middle, so as to exhibit the front
of the card, whilst the back is shown by turning the badge round.

When employed as a cyclist badge, the name of the club, or the destination of
the riders may be inserted.
Further, the badge may be worn by processionists, trade unions, salvationists or
strikers, hall or railway porters, in every case, being provided with suitable
inscriptions.
We do not limit ourselves to the particular form of badge, nor to the exact way
in which the tablet is affixed, as the back of the badge may be hinged and provided
with a supplementary flap, bar or their equivalents.
When worn by teetotallers, and factions of political parties, ribbons displayed
may be secured by clips or fasteners.
