Abstract

Abstract A two-ply tag-and-check device for passenger''s baggage delivered to an airline before boarding and to be claimed by the passenger on arrival at his destination, comprising a relatively long baggage-tag portion constituting one of the two plies thereof and a relatively short claim-check portion constituting the other ply thereof and covering and peelably adhered to an area of the baggage-tag portion at or near one end thereof by means of the below-mentioned two sets of juxtaposed adhesive and release coatings on facing and registering areas of the baggage-tag and claim-check, respectively. Such juxtaposed adhesive coatings and release coatings maintain the baggage-tag portion and the claimcheck portion in assembled relation to each other prior to the ultimate use of the device. The major portion of the claim-checkcovered area of the baggage-tag portion is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a minor portion of said area is coated with a release-coating, as for instance a silicone coating. The area of the claim-check juxtaposed to and covering the adhesive-coated area of the baggage-tag portion is coated with a release-coating, through which such area of the claimcheck is peelably adhered to the adhesive-coated area of the baggage-tag. The area of the claim-check juxtaposed to and covering the release-coated area of the tag is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive through which such area of the claimcheck is peelably adhered to the release-coated area of the baggage-tag. The outer face of the baggage-tag portion has imprinted thereon the name or symbol of the airline and the name or symbol of the destination of the baggage and the routing information (if not a through-flight) and a baggage-identifying number and the word ''''flight'''' with an adjoining delineated area for writing in the flight-number. The outer face of the claimcheck portion has corresponding imprinting thereon. After the claim-check portion has been peeled from the baggage-tag portion it is adhered to the passenger''s ticket-envelope or folder by means of the pressure-sensitive adhesive-coating on the minor portion of the face thereof opposite its imprinted face, and the baggage-tag portion is looped around the handle of the baggage with the imprinted side thereof facing outwardly and the two ends thereof are adhered to each other by the pressure-sensitive adhesive-coating covering the aforementioned end area thereof.
