Year: 1875

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Moritz Wolfsky, of 5, Pilgrim Street, Ludgate
Hill, in the City of London, for the Invention of "A NEW OB
IMPROVED SPRING STANDARD FOR THE FITTED BOARDS OF TRAVELLING
BAGS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Moritz Wolfsky at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 28th October 1875.
I, MORITZ WOLFSKY, of 5, Pilgrim Street, Ludgate Hill, in the City
of London, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "A
NEW OR IMPROVED SPRING STANDARD FOR THE FITTED BOARDS OF TRAVELLING
BAGS," to be as follows:-
This improved standard is made of brass or any other metal, and is
caused to project or unfold itself from the board by means of a spring.
On each end of the board is fixed by any suitable means a metal casing,
and to each casing is attached two of these standards, one on each side

page_text: of the board; each standard working on binges affixed to the casing,
and being made to project at right angles to the board by means of a
flat spring inserted in the casing.
To put the board in its proper place in the bag I press the standards
flat against the board, and then insert the board in the sockets or 5
uprights in the usual way; but when the board is required for use I
merely lift it out by the handle when the standards are forced outwards
by means of the springs, and thus afford a firm footing for the board.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Moritz Wolfsky in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 28th April 1876.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, MORITZ
WOLFSKY, late of 5, Pilgrim Street, but now of Water Lanc, Ludgate
Hill, in the City of London, send greeting.

special licence that I, the said Moritz Wolfsky, my executors, admi-
