Abstract
Abstract A tag destined to be attached to a net which will be used for packing articles, such as for example fruit and vegetables for display in a store, is formed by a small plate which is provided with a plurality of elongate strips having their longitudinal edges formed with barbs. The strips have one end fixed to the plate and extend in a direction slightly inclined to the plane of the plate, so that the free ends of the strips project outwardly beyond the back face of the plate. The projecting free ends of the strips are bent inwardly and resiliently abut against the back face of the plate. The tag is attached to the net by sliding some meshes of the net past said hook-shaped free ends of the strips into the space formed between the inclined strips and the back face of the plate, where the meshes are engaged by the barbs formed on the longitudinal edges of the strips.

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
51 words
A tag for nets comprising a plate having front and back sides, and a plurality of parallel fixing strips punched out of a frame member to which they remain attached at one end, said frame member surrounding the punched out strips and being bonded to the back side of said plate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
51 words

Claim 11
Dependent Claim
47 words
A tag for nets comprising a plate having front and back sides, in which said plate is formed with a group of fixing strips having one end formed integral with a frame member surrounding the strips, said frame member carrying the strips being bonded to said plate.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
47 words
A tag for nets comprising a plate having front and back sides, in which said plate is formed with a group of fixing strips having one end formed integral with a frame member surrounding the strips, said frame member carrying the strips being bonded to said plate.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
91 words
A tag for nets comprising a frame member having an aperture, a fixing strip having a first end formed on the frame member at an edge of the aperture and a remainder of the fixing strip substantially spaced from edges of the apeRture, the fixing strip having a free end opposite the first end, and the strip being provided with integrally formed barbs laterally extending from the strip toward side edges of the aperture and being spaced from the side edges thereby adapting the strip to engage meshes of a net.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
91 words
A tag for nets comprising a frame member having an aperture, a fixing strip having a first end formed on the frame member at an edge of the aperture and a remainder of the fixing strip substantially spaced from edges of the apeRture, the fixing strip having a free end opposite the first end, and the strip being provided with integrally formed barbs laterally extending from the strip toward side edges of the aperture and being spaced from the side edges thereby adapting the strip to engage meshes of a net.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
