or Receptacle and Locket Combined.
We, ERNST AUGUST JAHNOKE, Manufacturer, and HENRY WILLIAM HERBST
Engineer, both of Canonbury Works, Dorset Street, Essex Road, Islington in the
County of Middlesex, 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 improvements consist in the construction and manufacture of a metallic case
or receptacle for holding disinfectants, antiseptics, drugs, perfumes or other substances
in combination with an arrangement for hoiding photos, pictures, or the like, to give
it the appearance of a locket, in the manner as hereinafter described, and shown in the
accompanying drawings.
The case consists of two shells, one forming the body, and the other the lid, which
are hinged together.
The body is provided with a ring by which the case may be attached to a watch
chain, necklet, or worn in a similar manner.
There is also a plate (which is slightly dished) sprung inside the body to hold the
glass, under which the photo or picture may be placed.
A metal blank is cut to the required shape, see Figure "1" and drawn up as
shown in Figure "2" and Section Figures "2A" and "2 B."
A rim is formed on the front, and only partially at the sides of the body, forming a
rebate or set off, as shown at "a" Figure "3" and Section Figures "3 A”
and "3 B."
This rim being limited only to the front and partially to the sides, offers great
advantages in the manufacture. A lip or tongue is formed on the body which is
curled over, and into which the ring is fastened as shown at "6" Figure "3" and
Section Figure "3 B."
The hinge is formed in the ordinary way.
To form the lid a metal blank is cut to the required shape as shown in Figure "4."
It is then drawn up as shown in Figure "5" and Section Figures "5 A" and "5 B."

page_text: The lid and body are then hinged together and an ordinary catch is formed in
front of the lid, and on the rim of the body.
When the case is shut, the lid laps over the rim ".

on the body, as shown in
To form the dished plate a blank is cut in sheet metal to the required shape as
shown in Figure "7.""
It is then dished and the portion which receives the glass and photo or the like is
sunk, as shown in Figure "8" and Section Figures "8A" and "8 B."
The glass, under which the photo or picture is placed, is then put in the aforesaid
sunk recess, as shown at " C Figure 8" and Section Figures "8A" and "8B,"
and then sprung in to the body and retained therein by the two sides "d" of the
dished blank sprung under the rim in front of the body and under the hinge
respectively, as shown "d" in Section Figure "6 A."
The body may be cut out if the picture or photo is required to be visible from the
outside; or the dished plate may be cut out if the picture or photo is to be visible
inside; or both may be cut out should transparency be required to show the contents
of the receptacle, as shown at "e" in Section Figures "6A" and "6 B."
