of N° 7 Westminster Chambers Victoria Street in the County of Middlesex
for an Invention of "IMPROVED MEANS OR APPLIANCES FOR ATTACHING

HENRY NATHAN MAYNARD and HENRY JOHN COOKE both of N° 7 Westminster
Chambers Victoria Street in the County of Middlesex *IMPROVED MEANS OR
APPLIANCES FOR ATTACHING LABELS TO ENDS OF ROLLS OF DRAWINGS AND OTHER
SIMILAR ARTICLES OR PACKAGES "'
With rolls of drawings and other similar long articles or packages it is desirable
to have a label indicating the nature of the drawings &c on one or both ends of.
the roll.
Our invention relates to means or appliances whereby such labels can be readily
attached to and removed from the end of the roll and which will also enable the
label to be used with rolls or packages of varying sizes. For this purpose, we
attach to the edges of a disc or plate three or more bands, by preference of
caoutchouc, but which may also be of cord, thin metal or other suitable material,
the other ends of which bauds are attached to a caoutchouc ring, so that on slipping
the said ring over the end of the roll and drawing it down the same until the
bands are stretched, the disc or plate, which constitutes the label, will be held
securely against the end of the roll. The disc, or plate may be of any desired
configuration and be made of cardboard, wood, metal or any other material, and it
may be provided with a slot or groove into which a ticket indicating the nature
of the drawings &c can be inserted, or its surface may be of material on which the
titles &c can be readily written and expunged.
In place of a caoutchouc ring for encircling the roll may be used a circular
spring metal band, that will adapt itself within certain limits to the varying sizes.
of rolls, although we prefer to use a caoutchouc ring for the purpose

...Our invention relates to means or appliances whereby such labels' can be readily
attached to and removed from the end of the roll, and which will also enable the
label to be used with rolls or packages of varying sizes. For this purpose, we
attach to the edges of a disc or plate three or more bands, by preference of
caoutchouc, but which may also be of cord, thin metal, or other suitable material,
-the other ends of which bands are attached to a caoutchouc ring, so that on.
slipping the said ring over the end of the roll and drawing it down the same until
the bands are stretched, the disc or plate which constitutes the label, will be held
securely against the end of the roll. The disc or plate may be of any desired
configuration and be made of cardboard, wood, metal, or any other material, and it
may be provided with a slot or groove into which a 'ticket indicating the nature of:
the drawings &c can be inserted, or its surface may be of material on which the.
titles &c can be readily written and expunged.
In place of a caoutchouc ring for encircling the roll may be used a circular
spring metal band that will adapt itself within certain limits to the varying sizes,
of the rolls, although we prefer to use a caoutchouc ring for the purpose.
j
Fig 1 of the accompanying drawings shews a perspective view of one form of
label constructed according to our before described invention. A is a disc of
metal or other material having a central hole in which is fitted a label B of paper
or other material capable of being written upon, and which is held in its place by
the cross bands C, as shewn in the plan of the underside at Fig 2, so that it can be
readily removed and replaced by another label. The bands C, which are preferably
of elastic webbing, are passed through slots in the disc A as shewn, and; extending.
downwards some distance, are attached by their lower ends to a caoutchouc ring D.
This ring being slipped over the end of the roll of drawings or other documents Ea
indicated in dotted lines, the disc A with its label B will be held securely against
the end of such roll. Instead of securing the label B by the bands C, it may be
held by clips A¹ formed on the underside of the disc A, as shewn at Fig 3, the
bands C being in this case secured in any convenient manner, such as by clips to
the disc.
It will be readily understood that the form and mode of constructing the labels
and bands may be greatly varied and we do not therefore limit ourselves to the
constructions shewn on the drawings, but we claim in respect of means or
appliances for attaching labels to the ends of rolls of drawings and other packages:
The combination with a label of bands, cords or strings, connected at the one
end to the said label and at the other end to an elastic ring, so that, by slipping

held against the end thereof, substantially as herein described.
In Witness whereof we the said said Henry Nathan Maynard and Henry John
Cooke have hereunto set our hands and seals this ninth day of January in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty four.
