PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Pen and Pencil Holder and Eraser.
I, KALPH SPEAR, of Fürth, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of an improved combined pen and pencil
holder and eraser so arranged that when closed the article has the appearance of
a cigar.
In carrying out an invention I provide a wooden case in-two parts having the
external shape of a cigar; one part or half of the case serves to receive the holder
for the pencil and pen; the upper end of this part of the outer case is, reduced in
diameter so as to allow of the other part or half of the case fitting thereon like a cap.
The reduced part of the case is advantageously split so as to act as a spring for
holding the pen and pencil holder (which is reversible) and also to assist in holding
the cap in place when closed. The outer end of the cap is provided with a piece of
suitable erasing material which has somewhat the appearance of the ash on the end
of a cigar.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Pen and Pencil Holder and Eraser.
I, RALPH SPEAR, of Fürth, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Manufacturer 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 :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of an improved combined pen and
pencil holder and eraser so arranged that when closed the article has the appearance
of a gar.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe how it can
be carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is an elevation, and
Figure 2 a longitudinal section of my combined pen and pencil holder and eraser
closed.
Figures 3 and 4 are sections respectively of the two parts which form the case.
Figure 5 is an elevation of the body or part of the case which holds the pen
and pencil.
Figure 6 is a view of the pen and pencil which are removable; and
Figure 7 is a view similar to that shown in figure 6 but with the pen and pencil
placed therein in the position for using the pen.
Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
In carrying out my invention I provide a wooden case formed in two parts a and b
which when placed together or closed up have the external appearance of a cigar, as
shown in figure 1; the body part 'b of the case serves to receive a holder c for the
pencil d and pen e; this holder c is reversible so that either the pencil d or the pen e
can be used as required. One end of the part 6 of the case is reduced as shown at f
and on this reduced part the other part or cap a of the case fits. 9, 9 represent
splits in the reduced part so as to cause the part f to act as a spring for better holding
the reversible pen and pencil holder and to assist in holding the cap a when
closed; h is a piece of any suitable erasing material which is placed in the outer end

appearance of the ash on the end of a cigar.
From the preceding description it will be seen that 1 obtain a neat and compact
combined pen and pencil holder and eraser, which when closed has the appearance of
a cigar in course of being smoked.
To make use of the device, the cap a is removed and either the pencil or pen can
then be used as required. In the drawing figure 7 shows the pen e in position for
being used; if it is required to use the pencil the holder c is withdrawn from the
case 6, and reversed so that the pencil d will project from the case b. The eraser
can be used either when the case is closed as in figure 1 or when the cap a is removed
as in figure 3.
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 :-
1. A combined pen and pencil holder and eraser constructed in two parts so
arranged that when closed, the holder and eraser have the appearance of a cigar as
hereinbefore described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. In a combined pen and pencil holder of the kind hereinbefore described, forming
one end of the body of the case with a number of splits so as to act as a spring in the
manner and for the purpose, herein before described.
3. The manufacture and use of the combined pen and pencil holder and eraser
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
