One object of theinvention is 'to provide a device of this character formed ofa single piece of suitable material, for example cardboard or the like, and embodying novel and improved vfeatures of construction whereby',

the Vde-vicecan be blanked out of sheet material and folded to form a body portion and a bracket arm for connecting the body portion to an article, so that the bracket shall be positively rigidly held in proper position to engage the article and shall positivelyV hold the tag against unfolding or collapse.

Other objects are to provide a formed of a single piece of material and com- Y prising a body portion including two intef grally connected superposed sections one of which has a liap at a point oppositethe connection of the two sections, the other section having a slot through which the free end of the flap is inserted between the ltwo sections, i v A posed relation, asshown-,-n Figure :2 `of the drawing... vvThe Yflap-4 is Y.then bent ,along `-the dines., 9 andi@ ..toward xthe body portionof .the ,tagiacross the .edge ofithe -`o posite b ody section 1 into a position general y illustrated Visby the heavyfdot and dash. lines in Figure 2 and said flap having two spaced and alined openings to receive an article to which the tag is to be applied; to vprovide a tag of this character in'which the:-

In attaching the .tagr to the pencil, the pencil is slipped through the openings 12 and 13 and the frictional engagement of the edges of the opening upon the pencil hold the tag in the desired position. -f

Gbviously the shape of the body sections l and 2 inay be Vwidely varied according to the purpose for whichV the tag is to be used, and the shape and size ofthe openings 12 and 13 in the bracket arm may also be varied. Also, the tag can be formed of several' separate pieces instead of in one piece as described. y

Therefore, ity will be understood that-while I have shown the tagas embodying certain details of construction, and as applied to a 'certain use, the invention may be embodied in other details of construction" and the tag used in connection with other articles, withoutdepa'rting from the spirit or scope of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what Iclaiinis: 1 V
