Baggage and security label, primarily for use by airlines
First Claim
1. A labelling tag comprising four members initially detachably adhered together to form a whole assembly such that each member is adhered to at least one other such member, a first said member being elongate and havinga first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer covering a portion only of one face of the member such that when separated from the other members the first member can form a loop by a non-adhesive coated portion thereof becoming adhered to the first adhesive layer.a second said member partially covering and being detachably adhesively secured to the first said member by said first adhesive layer,a third said member separate from the first member but initially lying in the same plane as and forming effectively a continuation of the first member, anda fourth said member completely covering and being detachably adhesively secured to the third member and partly covering and being detachably adhesively secured to an end portion of the first member so that the fourth member effectively spans the first and third member and thus maintains the tag integral until the point of use.

Abstract
A labelling tag, primarily intended for airline baggage, comprises four members initially adhered together so that each member is adhered to at least one other member, one member being elongated and having an adhesive layer such that when separated from the remaining members it can form a loop, the remaining members each including a layer of adhesive by which that member is detachably adhered to another of said members and by which that member can be adhered to an article, separation of the members not resulting in the creating of any litter.

8. A labelling tag comprising
a first elongate member having a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extending substantially from one end to a transverse line approximately at half the length of the member, the first member being intended to form a loop when detached from remaining members of the tag by adhesion of said first layer to a remaining part of the first member, a second layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the first member, spaced from the first layer, a piece of paper coated with a release agent only on the face thereof directed away from the said second layer and completely covering said first layer whereby the piece of paper is permanently adhered to the second layer, a third layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the first member at an end part thereof remote from said first end of the first member and spaced from the second layer, a piece of paper coated with a release agent only on the face thereof directed away from the third layer whereby the piece of paper is permanently adhered to the third layer and completely covers it, a second elongate member extending substantially from said one end of the first member to a transverse line spaced from the other end of the first member, a fourth layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the second member and extending substantially from said one end of the first member to a line spaced from the other end of the second member, an elongate piece of paper provided with a release agent on the face only thereof directed away from the said fourth layer and completely covering and adhered to the fourth layer, a fifth layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive provided on the second member, spaced from the fourth layer and from said other end of the second member, said piece of paper being permanently adhered to the second layer and completely covering but being detachably adhered to the said fifth layer, a third member of the tag forming a separate extension, in the assembled condition of the tag, of the first member, a sixth layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the third member spaced from the first member and spaced from the end of the third member remote from the first member, a fourth member having a seventh layer of adhesive detachably adhering the fourth member to the piece of paper permanently adhered to the third adhesive layer of the first member, the seventh layer being spaced from the end of the fourth member adjacent to the second member an eighth layer of adhesive on the fourth member spaced from the seventh layer, the eighth layer being completely covered by and permanently adhered to a piece of paper coated with a release agent on the face only thereof directed away from the eighth layer and being detachably adhered to the sixth layer of adhesive of the third member, each said piece of paper having a length greater than that one of the layers of adhesive to which it is permanently secured and a length less than that one of the layers of adhesive to which it is detachably secured, the assembly of the tag being such that all said members are initially adhered to at least one opposed member and so that the fourth member spans and holds together the otherwise separate first and third members and on separation each of the second, third and fourth members has a respective said adhesive layer by which it can be adhered to an article and the first member can be bent and adhered to itself to form a loop, no litter being created when the members are separated at the initial point of use.
