  • Patent number: 6295747
    Abstract: The present device provides a baggage tag attachable to the handle of a piece of baggage for displaying indicia of the identification and destination of a passenger owning the baggage. The tag has a first or base ply and a second tear resistant ply or liner. The underside faces of the base ply and tear resistant liner are arraigned for engagement with one another. An adhesive is disposed between the base ply and the liner for releasably sealing them together. It is preferred that a release coating be applied to the underside face of the liner. This allows the removal of the liner from the adhesive layer, allowing the adhesive to remain with the base ply. The base ply and liner each have cuts proximate one end thereof defining a claim stub. Upon removal of the claim stub, a length of the underside face of the base ply adjacent the base ply cut is exposed with the adhesive permitting the to tag ends to be secured around a bag handle.

  • Patent number: 5887368
    Abstract: A cable tag allows information about the identity of a communications or power cable and its route to be secured to the cable. The cable tag is secured to a cable in such a way that it can be readily removed and re-secured if necessary. For installation, a portion of a liner adhered to a face stock of the cable tag is removed to expose adhesive. Folding the tag around the cable causes the areas of exposed adhesive to come into contact with each other and with the cable. The remaining portion of the liner on the back of the face stock provides a non-adherent surface where a user's fingers can easily separate the cable tag from the cable. The cable tag includes removable sub-labels to permanently fix originating and terminating information to the cable after installation. The remaining part of the cable tag may then be removed and discarded if necessary.
