I, EDWARD COOKE of No. 27 Paradise Street Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Architect and Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
For the purpose of providing convenient means of carrying railway and other
tickets about the person, a strip of metal is bent over upon itself, the fold being
somewhat barrel-like, so as to form a spring and press the adjacent surfaces or jaws
towards each other; the said barrel-like member having in it a slot of suitable
dimensions to admit the ticket to be carried: the ticket is pushed through the said
slot to any desired position between the jaws of the holder, where it is retained
until purposely removed. The holder may be fixed to gloves or other articles of
dress, or it may be fitted with a swivel for attachment to a guard chain or other
suitable article.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Ticket Holder.
I, EDWARD COOKE, of Curzon Chambers, No. 27, Paradise Street Birmingham
in the County of Warwick Architect and Surveyor, 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 :—
For the purpose of providing convenient means of carrying railway and other
tickets about the person, a strip of metal, or plate, is bent over upon itself, the fold
being somewhat barrel-like, so as to form a spring and press the adjacent surfaces,
or jaws, towards each other, the said barrel-like member having in it, a slot of
suitable dimensions to admit the ticket to be carried, the free edges of the jaws
which are opposite thereto, being made to meet. The ticket is pushed through the
said slot, to any desired position between the jaws of the holder, where it is retained
until purposely removed.
In the accompanying drawing, the letters and figures of reference in the various
views indicate respectively the same parts.
Figure 1 represents a top view of a ticket holder made according to my inven-
tion, AA being the fold, or barrel-like member hereinbefore described, C the
upper jaw.
Figure 2 represents a view of the underside of the holder, C 2 being the lower jaw.
Figure 3 represents in elevation, the said fold, or barrel-like member with the
slot B in it, for the admission of the ticket.
Figure 4 represents in elevation, an end view of the holder, and shews in longi-
tudinal section, a ticket D which has been pushed through the aforesaid slot between
the jaws C, C 2.
The holder may be secured to any article of dress as desired, by sewing at each
end through the respective pairs of holes E E Figure 2, or by any other convenient
means; or it may be linked to a swivel, or hook, for the purpose of attachment to
a guard chain, or other suitable article.
The ticket holder may be made of hard rolled brass of about No. 28 Birmingham
wire gauge, or of other suitable material, formed firstly in a flat strip, or plate,
having the required contour and perforations as shewn in Figure 5 of the drawing,
[Price 813

page_text: the said strip, or plate being afterwards bent over, and the free edges of the jaws
which are opposite to the fold, made to meet as hereinbefore described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :
A ticket holder formed of a folded strip, or plate, having in it, opposite to tho
meeting edges of the jaws, an aperture through which a ticket may be passed,
substantially as herein described and represented in the accompanying drawing,
for the purpose set forth.
