Abstract
A system is shown for differentiating two or more cables of two or more respective appliances. The system comprises respective means in the form of tag devices for positioning on and labelling each cable, wherein each tag device is provided in a differentiated form from each other tag device. The tag devices can be pre-printed or supplied with suitable indicia for positioning thereon. Such a system for identification can allow a user to more readily identify the appliance to which the cable is connected, or in the case of use of the system for labelling and identifying containers, to identify a container and its contents. This can be useful in situations where a plurality of cables, or containers, are located in close proximity to one another.
Claims5
A system for differentiating two or more cables of two or more respective appliances, the system comprising a respective tying device for tying to a respective cable;
- wherein each tying device comprises:
- an elongate member for releasable securement at a cable by wrapping around the cable;
- a planar enlarged portion arranged on the member for insertion through a hole located in the member, the hole having a periphery being entirely surrounded by a material of the member, the enlarged portion including a raised portion thereon to provide that part of the enlarged portion with a thickness greater than a remainder of the enlarged portion;
- wherein the device being configured such that the enlarged portion can be passed from one side of the member, completely through the hole, to an opposite side of the member to be secured at the opposite side;
- and
- wherein the elongate member has the same thickness as the remainder of the planar enlarged portion.
A card comprising:
- a border frame section;
- and
- a plurality of detachable elongate members, each of the members being frangibly joined to the border frame section for detachment therefrom, an enlarged portion being defined in at least one of the members for insertion in use through a hole located in the member, the hole having a periphery being entirely surrounded by a material of the member, the enlarged portion being a planar enlarged portion arranged on the member for insertion through the hole located in, the enlarged portion including a raised portion thereon to provide that part of the enlarged portion with a thickness greater than a remainder of the enlarged portion;
- wherein the enlarged portion of the member has a transverse width greater than a corresponding transverse width of the hole.
