COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Note Book with an Elastic Attachment for Fastening it On to the
Shirt Sleeve, and Carrying a Pencil by means of a Ring-stud
passing through slots or holes in the Leaves and Covers of the
Book.
We, WILLIAM FREDERICK HUNT of No. 6, Elsworthy Road, Primrose Hill,
in the County of Middlesex, Managing Director to a Public Trading Company
Limited, and CHARLES SAMUEL HUNT of No. 94, Dalberg Road, Brixton, also
in the County of Middlesex, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our present invention relates to improvements in the construction of memorandum
tablets and in the combination therewith of devices for connecting the said tablets
with a pencil, or the equivalent, to the person of the user.
In order that our invention and the means by which the same is to be carried
into practical effect may be thoroughly understood we will describe them in detail
referring in so doing to the accompanying drawings which are to be taken as part
of this Specification and read therewith.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a ten leaf tablet and other devices for attaching it
to the cuff or sleeve.
Figs. 2 and 3 are side and front elevations respectively of a ring or stud to which
the pencil is fixed.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a tablet ready to be fixed to the cuff or sleeve.
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the same.
Fig. 6 illustrates the user of the invention.
a, a are the leaves or tablets of a note book. They are shown as extended in
Fig. 1. b is an eyelet for securing and also allowing the tablets or leaves to be
ro

page_text: rotated. This eyelet is connected with a loop or swivel c to which is attached a
piece of elastic d for withdrawing the book, the other end of which is secured to
a safety pin or clipe for attaching it to the sleeve or dress of the user. Any other
equivalent device for providing for the connection of the tablets to the person may
be used.
fare slots formed near the ends of the tablets wherein an attachment on the
end of the pencil or its equivalent can or may be attached or inserted.
g is the fitting on the end of the pencil or its equivalent adapted to both hold it
to the tablets and to hold the latter together, whereby the said pencil may or can
be detached from the tablets for use.
It will be obvious that the piece of elastic d will always draw the folded tablets
and the pencil up the wearer's sleeve.
It is of importance that the end of the said pencil should be so shaped as to
tightly grip the device for holding the tablets together so that when the pencil is
to be used it shall control the fastening device.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
1. The combination of slotted leaves and pencil attachment as and for the purpose
set forth.
2. The combination of slotted leaves, pencil end, and elastic returning device, as
set forth
