BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] This invention relates to a hangtag; in particularly to a hangtag which has rotatable
and foldable advantages benefiting the user to read the foldable flap.
2. Description of the Related Art
[0002] Hangtag, as an adjunct to the merchandise specifying product information, is known
to have a connecting element, such as a string or a button fixed to a flap by way
of adhesive, which is devised with a simple structure for lowering producing cost.
However, the connecting element is distracting when the user turn around or turn over
the foldable flap for reading the information from the inner page.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The invention aims to provide the user with a hangtag which is convenient to read
information.
[0004] According to above-mentioned purpose, this invention offers a hangtag having a flap
and a rubber fixed on the flag, wherein the rubber ring has a connecting element shaped
into column and deployed with a hanging portion and a mounting portion separate on
its opposite ends. As the hanging portion and the connecting element sequentially
pass through the pore and the mounting portion which leads the mounting portion to
tie a knot.
[0005] Owing to its elastic property, the rubber ring may easily fit on the product, the
connecting element will turn accordingly as the product rotates, and the knot tied
by mounting portion hang loose or vulnerably slacken for the user to spreads out the
foldable flap easier for information reading.
[0006] Besides, the aforementioned flap may be foldable and said rubber ring may fit in
any pore sizes of the hangtags.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007]
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing illustrating the structure of the rubber ring.
FIG. 2 is another schematic drawing illustrating the structure of the hangtag.
FIG. 3 is another schematic drawing illustrating the embodiment of the hangtag.
FIG. 4 is another schematic drawing illustrating the embodiment of the hangtag tagging
on a product.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0008] FIG. 1 illustrating a rubber ring for fixing a flap 20 has a connecting element 12
shaped into column, and a hanging portion 11 and a mounting portion 13 forming closed
loops individually deployed on the opposite ends of the connecting element 12. In
this embodiment, the rubber ring has an integral structure, composed of the mounting
portion 13 and the connecting element 12 having similar sectional profiles, and can
be deformed entirely when the flap 20 rotates.
[0009] As the hanging portion 11 and the mounting portion 13 are separately used to mount
on the product and the flap 20, the circumference of the hanging portion 11 is longer
than that of the mounting portion 13. Nevertheless, the user may alter the measurements
of these two portions 11 and 13 per the product's configurations. FIG. 2 to 4 illustrating
one kind of hangtags, the flap 20 is, a sheet, deployed with a pore 21. The hanging
portion 11 and the connecting element 12 sequentially pass through the pore 21 and
an inner circle of the mounting portion 13 which leads the mounting portion 13 to
tie a knot for fixing the flap 20.
[0010] To be more specific, that the hanging portion 11 can flexibly fit on the product
30, the connecting element 12 can gentlely buffer between the product 30 and the flap
20 keeping the flap 20 uncovered by the product 30. Thanks to the stretchable property,
the user can read the information by pulling out the flap 20. In addition, since the
connecting element 12 has an elastic column configuration, it will accordingly twist
as the flap 20 is rotated by the user for reading purpose.
[0011] FIG. 3 illustrating a flap 20 in the embodiment has a foldable face 20 arranged with
pores 211 and 212 overlapping when the flap 20 close up. The hanging portion 11 and
the connecting element 12 sequentially pass through the overlapping pores 211 and
212 and a inner circular of the mounting portion 13 which leads the mounting portion
13 to tie a knot. Because the inner circle is girdling around the connecting element
12, and the mounting portion 13 therefore hang loose or vulnerably slacken which benefit
the foldable flap 20 to be spreaded out into a right angle or a plane for the user
reading information from the inner page.
[0012] FIG. 1 illustrating a still status of the rubber ring in this embodiment, a mounting
portion 13 has length, the longer diameter of the oval, double or triple longer than
that of the connecting element. With this structural devise, the mounting portion
13 hang loose or vulnerably slacken when bent up which benefits the foldable flap
to spread out. Moreover, the mounting portion 13 has width, the shorter diameter of
the oval, the same as that of the hanging portion 11, and their widths are wider than
that of the connecting element 12 so as to be restrained by the connecting element
12 when tied a knot.
[0013] As the rubber ring is tied up to a lesser extent, it still has sufficient resilience
for the user spreading out the foldable flap 20 completely. Besides, the rubber ring
in the embodiment can fit in any sizes of the pores 21 of the flap 20; therefore,
the rubber ring of this invention is suitable for various kinds of hangtags. Furthermore,
the rubber ring is embodied with a simple structure which is easy to set up and put
into production and utilization.
1. A hangtag with a flap (20), comprising:
a rubber ring having a connecting element (12) shaped into column, a hanging portion
(11) and a mounting portion (13) are individually deployed on the opposite ends of
