COMPLETE DIEUITIVATION.
Improvements in or connected with Price Tickets and the like to
Facilitate the Securing of same to Lengths or Rolls of Material,
Carpets, and similar articles.
I, CHARLES ALEXANDER CHRISTY, of, 80, North Street, Brighton, Gentleman,
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:-
My invention relates to improvements in or connected with price tickets such as
used in drapery, furnishing, and other establishments, where rolls of soft materials
are stocked, such as cloths, dress stuffs carpets and the like, the object of this in-
vention being to furnish a price ticket with a small device or attachment to allow
of its being quickly and easily secured to rolled materials as aforesaid, as a sub-
stitute for the present system of sewing.
According to my invention the bottom of each price ticket is furnished with a
small length of wire passing between the folds of the turned over end of the
ticket, which is brought through same and the ends of the wire bent in an upward
direction but projecting away from the sides of said ticket, the ends of the said
wire being pointed so that upon the end of the ticket being pressed between the
folds of material and then drawn back slightly the ends of the wire take into the
substance of the material, firmly securing the ticket in position, the whole opera-
tion necessitating the expenditure of a minimum amount of time.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed
to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1
is a front elevation of a ticket provided with my improved device or attachment.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the wire attachment device shown separately.
Fig. 4 is an end view of the wire attachment device, and Fig. 5 shows a slightly
modified form of attachment device.
According to my invention, to the lower end a of the ticket and between it and
the turned over portion b, a wire c is inserted, the ends d, d of which are brought
out one at the front and one at the back and extend in an upward direction as
shown, each wire being pointed at the end and extending outwardly to any
required distance from the sides of the said ticket.
By inserting the end c of the ticket between the folds of the cloth, material or
the like and pulling the ticket slightly as if to withdraw it, the projecting
arms d, d, become embedded in the material rendering it impossible for the
ticket to be pulled out, and firmly securing it in the required position.
It is obvious that only one projecting arm such as d may be employed, or on
the other hand, more than two may be used if found necessary, while as a slightly
modified form of my invention the arms d may be barbed as shown at f (Fig. 5)
for the purpose of preventing, or rendering it extremely difficult, their removal
from the substance within which they have been embedded.

page_text: 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:
The combination with a price ticket or the like of a pointed projecting arm or
pointed projecting arms substantially as and for the purposes specified.
