Abstract: A labeling system for applying an adhesive backed name tape to a name badge. The system includes a base member or fixture having a seat for receiving the name badge and a pair of spacedly disposed bridge members supported by the base member adjacent respective ends of the seat. The adhesive backed name tape is positioned over the name badge, extending between the pair of bridge members and spaced from the name badge. The bridge members preferably have a ribbed upper contact surface. A roller is used for contacting a top surface of the adhesive backed name tape so as to apply the adhesive backed name tape to the name badge.

Abstract: A name plate assembly includes a name plate and a connector which are magnetically attracted to each other, and which are disposed on opposite sides of a piece of clothing during use. The connector includes a first portion which extends beyond an edge of the name plate. In use, the name plate assembly is removed from the garment by a user engaging the first portion and applying a force. The connector then acts as a lever to break the magnetic connection between the name plate and the connector, and the name plate can then be removed.

Abstract: A name plate assembly for use on a garment including a name plate and a connector which are magnetically attracted to each other, and which are disposed on opposite sides of a piece of clothing during use such that the clothing is sandwiched therebetween is provided. The name plate assembly is removed from the garment by the user pressing the connector through the fabric, or by otherwise engaging and applying a force to the connector such as by grasping and pulling on the connector. The connector acts as a lever when engaged in order to break the magnetic connection between the name plate and the connector, so that the name plate assembly may be easily removed from engagement with the article of clothing without excessive force. In one embodiment, the connector is preferably V-shaped and includes an indentation on either end of the legs of the “V” in order to receive a magnet therein.

Abstract: A device for mounting insignia, such as an embossed name plate, in a pocket of an article of clothing consists of a one-piece member including first and second spaced locating members and a clamping member which is integrally formed with the second locating member. The first locating member includes an inwardly facing locating surface having a laterally extending rounded hump thereon. The clamping member extends outwardly and upwardly from the second locating member toward the first locating member wherein a head portion thereof makes biased contact with the locating surface. The clamping member is biased toward the locating surface by means of an integrally formed curved torsion bar having an axis of flexure spaced away from the locating surface and extending in the direction of the lateral hump. The torsion bar is arcuate in shape and has symmetrical end portions which are arranged parallel to the axis of flexure thereby permitting bending flexure about the axis.
