Abstract: A disposable luggage identifying ticket convertible into a luggage handle encircling baggage tag. The ticket comprises a pair of elongated generally coextensive sheets of stock secured to each other, each sheet having a pair of parallel sides and a pair of parallel ends, and configured to be separable into a main portion and a loop forming strap, once removed, being adhesively securable to the main portion. A method of forming a baggage tag from the ticket, and the baggage tag so formed are also described.

Abstract: An identification band comprising a backing strip having pressure-sensitive adhesive thereon, two release strips on the adhesive, and an overlying transparent strip including a tongue extending at one end of the backing strip, the transparent strip being secured to the backing strip by the adhesive, one release strip being removable for application of a pre-printed insert to the backing strip, the insert then being covered by the transparent strip, the other release strip being removable for adhering the tongue to the backing strip at the other end thereof.

Abstract: A luggage tag is formed from a soft hollow plastic body portion. The plastic may be treated with a photophorescent material so that the luggage tag will glow in the dark. The hollow plastic body portion has a central opening covered by a removable monogrammed cap. The cap covers a key shaped recess designed to hold a suitcase key. A resilient plastic circular loop clip is connected to the body portion for attaching the luggage tag to an article of luggage. In a second embodiment, the body portion is formed from open mesh plastic through which yarn is woven. The body portions may be formed as a variety of shapes including a teddy bear, a flower, a human foot, and any letter of the alphabet.

Abstract: A tag has first, second and third planar segments, each segment having opposite, front and back planar surfaces bounded by at least one edge extending between the planar surfaces. Two, flexible, segment connectors respectively connect portions of the edges of the first and second and second and third segments in a manner such that at least the front surfaces of the segments are in a common plane when the segment connectors are not flexed. The front surfaces of the segments can be printed, therefore, in a one-sided printing operation. When the segment connectors are flexed by folding, the front surfaces of the first and second segments are juxtaposed and one of the surfaces of the third segment is juxtaposed with the back surface of one of the first and second segments. This covers the printing on the front surfaces of the first and second segments, until the segment connector therebetween is unfolded to expose it.

Abstract: A highly visible pennant intended to mark a particular location is combined with a fastener permitting it to be readily attached to an existing supporting structure. The pennant may be appropriately formed of semirigid material enabling it to extend horizontally outwardly a substantial distance from the supporting structure without dropping. The fastener is positioned at one end of the pennant and the opposite, free, end is wrapped around the supporting structure, then through a receiving slot formed in the fastener, and drawn tight. The fastener, which may be integral with the pennant or of a separate construction and fixedly attached to the pennant, has a resiliently mounted clamp member with teeth positioned to permit the pennant to advance through the slot but to engage the pennant and prevent its withdrawal. A release member can be provided to enable selective removal of the pennant from the fastener.

Abstract: An identification seal for an electricial cable having resilient insulation on the surface thereof, said seal comprising a flat plastic body retaining a wire shackle. The shackle is provided with a pair of legs for engagement in seal body apertures and has a medial portion connecting the legs which comprises a semi-circular loop portion for gripping the cable, the plane of said semicircular portion being perpendicular to the plane of the shackle legs and the plane of a seal face so that when the seal is assembled onto the cable said face of the seal body is readily visible. Numbers or letters identifying the particular cable may be impressed into the surface of the seal face. The components are so dimensioned that when the seal is assembled onto a cable, the cable is gripped firmly by the loop portion of the shackle to prevent longitudinal or rotational movement of the seal on the cable.

Abstract: A mailbag tag made of plastic sheet material is formed to fit on the encircling leather strap of a standard mailbag for providing a stable surface to support a routing bar code for scanning by a bar code reader. The tag has a flexible sidearm which is inserted through the strap hasp to form a hasp lock and the tag is designed to have sufficient strength enabling it to be used as a handle for carrying a filled mailbag.

Abstract: A label holder for a product information label is suspended from a wire rod forming part of a wire basket, wire shelf, or the like containing the product, the label holder having elongate tabs along the upper margin which loop around the rod and attach to the body of the holder. The tabs have adhesive inner surfaces which are pressed into engagement with the rod so as to stabilize the label holder against swaying when traversed by a bar code reader.
