IDENTIFYING TAG ron UMBREL A;

I Application filed. July 25, '1921. Serial 1T0. 487,344.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that ERNIST L. GAiNns,a citi- -zen of the United States and residing at' Seattle, in the county of King and State of .Washington, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Identifying Tagsfor Umbrellas, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to .an identification tag designed primarily to be secured to the rod of an umbrella or the like whereby the umbrella is suitably marked with the owners umbrella rod, the clips being readily removable in order that the tag may be readily applied to successive umbrellas as desired.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a View in elevation illustrating the application of the improved tag.

Figure 2 is an enlarged broken elevation of the rod, showing the tag in position.

Figures 3 and 4 are plan and sectional views respectively of the tag proper.

Figure 5. is an edge view of the clip.

This improved tag comprises a transparent section 1 capable of being readily rolled and having a width slightly exceeding the circumferential length of the umbrella rod 2. A. marking section 3, such as a piece of paper, fabric or the like is marked with the desired data, as the name and address of the owner, and is applied to the transparent section 1,' by arranging the fabric strip beneath the transparent section with one edge of the strip coinciding with a- Sp'ecification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb, 21, 1922.

similar edge of the transparent section, and secured thereto by a binding 4, of metal or other substance also adapted toact as a stiffener. The clips 6 are fastened to the metal strip byrivets as shown, or may be fastened in any other convenient way, and the clips used may have other forms as could obviously be used to adapt particular materials to use and reduce the cost' of manufacture, without exceeding the scope of the invention. The: increased thickness of the edge of the tap provided by the metal binding strip insuresa more effective gripping of the clips, as will be apparent.

It is apparent that the tag as a whole will be readily and conveniently applied to the umbrella and may in the event of its use being desired with another umbrel1a,'be conveniently removed as an entirety by simply opening the clips, and reapplying to the new use.

What I claim is An umbrella tag, comprising a flexible transparent section,.a marked fabric section, a binding strip having one edge overturned adapted to receive one edge of the transparent section and the fabric section and hold said sections rigid therewith, the transparent section being longer than the fabric section, and securing strips secured to the binding strip at the end portions, whereby when the tag is applied to an umbrella rod the fabric strip will encircle said rod, the free edge of the transparent section will extend under the binding strip and be held in position thereby, and the securing strips willextend around the rod over the edges of the transparent and fabric sections and the ends secured'together for securing the parts to the umbrella rod.

In testimony whereof I afiix m si nature.

' ERNEST L. A ES.
