Internal tongue of a marking tag

- Bedford Industries, Inc.
Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of our internal tongue of a marking tag showing the cut of the tongue and the two holes of the tongue base in full lines and showing broken lines for environmental structure (i.e., a marking tag) forming no part of the design to be patented; and,

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the design in FIG. 1, with the tongue displaced from the plane of the tag.
