Patent attributes
A removable wire label. The wire label has a labeling tab attached to an elongated flexible prong. The flexible prong is wrapped around a cable and passed through a locking slot in the labeling tab. Teeth on the flexible prong engage the locking slot and prevent the flexible prong from disengaging. The locking slot has a special elliptical slot which requires the flexible prong to be rotated in order to pass through. The flexible prong's natural tendency to straighten then locks it in place. The device is easily removable, in that a user need only rotate the portion of the flexible prong sticking through the locking slot in order to release it and unwrap the flexible prong from the cable. The labeling tab allows the user to print hand-written messages on the device. As an alternative, pre-printed messages can be provided.
