  • Patent number: 4408406
    Abstract: A luggage identification tag includes a rigid tube to which an address label is applied and a transparent outer tube covering the label. A nylon strap extends loosely through the inside tube and can be looped through the handle or other part of a luggage item and secured by a buckle. The tube is thus supported at both ends and can freely rotate and slide on the strap to avoid snagging on obstructions. An opaque band half as wide as the tube is long slides along the outer transparent tube and serves to cover part of the label to prevent it from being read at a glance. In a modified form of the invention, a band on the outer tube covers the entire label except for a narrow window which exposes a single line of the label at a time.

  • Patent number: 4296787
    Abstract: An elongate flexible cord cooperates with a plurality of coil springs to interconnect golf club head covers. The cord is passed through eyelets attached to the head covers. The coil springs are sleeved over the cord and extend between adjacent eyelets to resist tangling of the cord while permitting it to bend as the head covers are removed and replaced on the club heads.
