An Improved Combination Writing and Drawing Appliance,
applicable also as a Whistle.
I, FREDERICK GEORGE, of 76 Thorold Road, Chatham, Assistant Superin-
tendent of Insurance Company. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide within the space occupied by an
ordinary pocket pen holder or pencil case, various articles of use to the owner of
the appliance. Preferably construct my invention in, or in about, the following
manner, but various modifications are possible without departing from the general
idea. The appliance when shut up has the appearance of an ordinary tubular
pencil case, but in reality it consists of four main and two secondary parts. One
end of the first part is made into a whistle, and a supply of pens can also be
contained herein. Into this part slides the end of second portion. This end is
provided with two legs so that when opened they form a pair of compasses. Into
the other end of this part is slid a short piece of tube having at one end a piece of
black lead pencil, and at the other a piece of india-rubber or eraser.
The pencil
tube has a hole in its side into which one leg of the compass can be pushed when
it is required to draw circles in pencil. On the other end of this second part slips
the third part in the other end of which slides a short length of tube formed so
as to hold a peu nib at one end and having a steel eraser at the other. Finally
the
pen end is covered with a cap, thus completing the article.
