GEORGES PAUL TALAMON, of Grove Lodge, Fulham Palace, in the County of
Middlesex. IMPROVEMENTS IN FASTENINGS FOR ATTACHING AND SUSPENDING
PAPERS, CARDS, AND THE LIKE." A communication from abroad by Manuel Leopold
Jonas Lavater, of No. 10, Rue Montholon, in the City of Paris.
This Invention has for its object improvements in fastenings for attaching and
suspending papers, cards, and the like.
In the annexed Drawings Figures 1 show a front view and a longitudinal section
of a metallic fastening provided with a stem to be passed through the papers or
other articles, and with an eye to receive the end of the stem, and also with a hook
for suspension; Figure 2 shows another form. In Figure 3 an eye is substituted
for the hook. In Figures 4 the stem after being passed through the articles to be
held is secured by passing it beneath flaps which are turned inwards from either
side to retain it in its place.
Figures 5 and Figures 6 represent a fastening adapted to be secured to the edge
of an almanack or card for the purpose of suspending it. The fastening has an eye
at its upper end, and is provided with two flaps c and c¹. The lower flap or point c'
is passed through the card or article and closed upon it, whilst the flap c is bent
down over its upper edge. Figures 7 show a similar fastening but provided with
two lower points.
Figures 8 represent a fastening with an eye at one end for suspension, and at the
other a raised cecillet is formed for attaching it to papers and such like articles.
Figures 9 represent a fastening consisting of two strips of parchment or flexible
material connected with an oeillet, which serves also as an eye for suspension.
