GEORGE BENNETT, Pencil case Manufacturer, 82 and 83 Tennant Street, Birmingham,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved penholder which will hold the smallest or
largest pen in ordinary use.
The holder is round and will receive the stem of a pen from any point.
To form my invention I make two tubes in any suitable size or material.
No. 1. say, is one inch in length and both ends open.
No. 2. is longer and turned inwards forming a concave top, it is less in diameter
and in its base to rings are pressed outwards making it a little thicker than the other
portion.
I put No. 2 tube in No. 1 and the base wedges itself and acts as though on a pivot
and thus it will be seen that the stem of the pen will pass between the two tubes and
is firmly held.
No. 2 tube is held in No. 1 by a rivet which fastens it to the handle of the holder
which is 2 inches in length and a cap is fixed on it and in this position lengthens the
handle.
The cap is made that it can be removed from the end of the handle and shut on to
the holder (No. 1 tube) and thus it protects the pen and makes it a commodius article
for carrying.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
What I claim 1st is the formation of the handle on which I can slide a cap to extend
its length and it also forms a spiral pencil.
No. 2. The action of the cap which slides on the end of the handle to extend
its length and can be removed from the handle to slide on the holder and thus protect
the pen.
No. 3. I claim the action and formation of No. 2 tube in No. 1 tube, the base of
which I can make thicker in various ways and I must therefore claim the action which
is brought about by the inner tube being thicker at the base than the other portion of
it and both held together by the rivet which fastens them to the handle.
Dated this 31st day of August 1887.

page_text: GEORGE BENNETT Pencil case maker Tennant Street Birmingham 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:
My invention relates to an improved pen holder which will bold the smallest or
largest pen in ordinary use.
The holder is round and will receive the stem of a pen from any point.
To form my invention I make two metal cases or tubes.
No. 1 say is 1 inch in length with both ends open.
No. 2 is of an inch longer with one end turned inwards forming a dome top; it
of an inch less in diameter and in its base two rings are pressed outwards making
it a little thicker than the other portion.
is
I put No. 2 tube in No. 1 and the base wedges itself and acts as though on a pivot
and thus it will be seen that the stem of a pen will pass between the two tubes and is
thus firmly held.
No. 2 tube is held in No. 1 by a rivet which fastens it in the handle of the holder
which is 2 inches in length and a cap 1 inch is fixed on it and in this position it
lengthens the handle.
The cap is made so that it can be removed from the end of the handle and shut onto
the holder (No. 1 tube) and thus protect the pen and make it a commodius article for
carrying.
I herewith send two drawings of my invention.
No. 1 section showing No. 1 tube.
No. 2 section showing No. 2 tube.
No. 3 section showing the cap.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is―
1st. The action and formation of No. 2 tube in No. 1 tube.
2nd. Is the formation of the handle and holder in combination, which when the cap
is shut on the handle answers to lengthen it to a suitable length for writing and when
shut on the holder protects the pen.
