SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pencil-holders.
We ELLIS BARTLE, Forgeman, DAVID EVANS, Schoolmaster, and GEORGE WILLIAM
SMITH, Music Teacher all of Wyke near Bradford in the County of York do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of our invention is to prevent the pencil from working up the pencil case
or holder after adjustment.
Within the pencil case we place a cylindrical peg or plug in which is a slot nearly
the full length of the peg.
Within this groove or slot is a wire or strip of any suitable metal, having one end
turned over to fit into a number of grooves (branching off the groove travelling the
full length of the peg) for adjustment of the pencil. When the pencil is placed
within the holder, it abuts against the wire within the aforesaid grooves, the said wire
holding the same in position and preventing the pencil from working up the inside
of the case.

Improvements in Pencil-holders.
We ELLIS BARTLE, Forgeman, DAVID EVANS. Schoolmaster, and GEORGE WILLIAM
SMITH, Teacher of Music, all of Wyke near Bradford in the County of York, 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:
The object of our invention is to prevent the pencil from working up the pencil case
or holder after adjustment.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. shows pencil holder in section with pencil, pencil slide and lengthening or
adjusting leg.
Fig. 2. shows pencil holder.
Figs. 3. and 4. show slide and lengthening leg detached.
Fig. 5. shows a stick for holding pencil in position.
Within the pencil case or holder A. we place a cylindrical peg or plug B. in which
is a slot C, nearly the full length of the peg; within this groove or slot is a wire or
strip of any suitable metal D. having one end turned over to fit into a number of
cross grooves E (branching off the groove travelling the full length of the peg) for
adjustment of the pencil F.
When the pencil F is placed within the holder A. it abuts against the wire D.
within the aforesaid grooves, the said wire holding the same in position and preventing
the pencil from working up the inside of the case. By placing the metal leg or wire
in different cross slots it can be lengthened and so use up the pencil. B' is a stick for
pushing out and holding the pencil in its position in lieu of B and D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. A pencil case or holder made to grip an internal plug or adjuster sufficiently to
hold the pencil in position when in use such as shown and described.

page_text: 2. The internal plug within the pencil case or holder, capable of being lengthened
or shortened, such as shown and described.
3. The general construction of adjustable pencil holder, in the manner and for the
purposes such as shown and described.
