Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A tool for attaching labels to a fabric layer, said tool comprising upper and lower jaws, means mounting said jaws in a manner such that they may be squeezed together, a first anvil on one said jaw and having a surface facing the other jaw shaped to accommodate the expansive head of a tack-like fastener element to be mounted on one side of said fabric layer while allowing said fabric layer to be urged closely against the underside of the head portion, a second anvil on said other jaw and having an outer cylindrical recess facing said first anvil for receiving a thick cylindrically shaped button element to be mounted on the other side of said fabric layer, and through the center of which the shank of said fastener element projects, and an inner curved recess formed centrally within said outer recess to be engaged by and to bend back the pointed tip of such tack-like fastener element and embed it in said button element while said jaws are closed to force said heat portion and said button element into mutually squeezing arrangement with said fabric layer and said label held tightly therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
