Abstract
A composite identification band having multiple identification indicia, the assembly of which comprises a strap with a lower pocket overlying an upper or exposed surface and opening at one end to receive a pressure-adhesive or any other type label adapted to have writing thereon; an upper pocket superimposed on said lower pocket and opening at both ends to receive and store an encoded identification plate. The upper surface of the upper pocket is partially folded back over a portion of said upper surface to form a pocket adapted to receive one or more pressure-adhesive indicia labels. An additional pocket, adapted to receive other indicia, is spaced in longitudinal alignment adjacent to said upper and lower pockets along the strap, an end of the strap nearest the upper and lower pockets contains a stud projecting upwardly from the underside and through the band. The other end of the strap contains a spaced series of holes adapted to fit over the stud when the band is looped or wrapped around the object to be identified. A tether, detachedly fastened to one side of the strap along a tear line, contains a hole which fits over the stud; and the other end of the tether contains a fastening mechanism, which, when the tether is looped through the encoded identification plate and the fastener is placed over the stud fixedly attaches to said stud. The composite band is, therefore, permanently attached to the object around which it is placed; and the tether and encoded identification plate are permanently attached to the strap.
