of Stafford, Blacksmith, and THOMAS GILBERT TAYLOR, of Princes Road, Harts Hill,
Stoke-on-Trent in the County of Stafford, China Decorator, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to a contrivance designed to serve as a combined paper
knife, book marker and clip. It comprises two pieces of suitable material such as
inetal, one of which is longer than the other and is suitably shaped to serve as a paper
knife the other part is shorter and is made to serve as a pointer to indicate any
particular line of print when the device is caused to clip a printed sheet, the pointer
is caused by an interposed spring to bear against the knife. The two parts resemble
connected levers and the arrangement is such that by pressing towards one another
those ends that are normally kept apart by the spring the clip will be opened. With
such a device the leaves of a book can be cut or the particular line of printing can be
indicated by causing the marker to grip the paper. Or several pieces of paper can be
held together as in an ordinary clip.

of Stafford, Blacksmith, and THOMAS GILBERT TAYLOR, of Princes Road, Hart's Hill,
Stoke on Trent, in the County of Stafford, China Decorator, 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 has reference to a contrivance designed to serve as a combined paper
knife, book marker and clip. It comprises two pieces of suitablo material such as
metal one of which is longer than the other and is suitably shaped to serve as a paper
knife, the other or shorter part, is made to serve as a pointer to indicate any particular
line of print when the device is.caused to clip a printed sheet, the pointer is caused by
an interposed spring to bear against the knife. The two parts resemble connected
Jevers and the arrangement is such that by pressing towards one another those ends
that are normally kept apart by the spring the clip will be opened. With such a
device the leaves of a book can be cut or the particular line of printing can be indicated

The end or point of this strip, when of metal may be, as in the arrangement
illustrated, so shaped that when supplied with ink it will serve as a pen.
to the strip or blade A is another and shorter strip, blade, or piece B.
Connected
Between A and B there is a spring C so disposed that it forces one end of the strip B
away from the strip A, and the other end toward it. The method of connection
between A and B shewn in the drawings is by means of wings or lugs D D and E E,
and a pin F, passing through both D and E. On the pin F is the coiled spring with
its ends pressed against the two strips or blades A and B.
A hole C formed in the lower strip or blade enables the combined appliance to be
hung on a nail or suspended by a string. The point H in the shorter strip B serves
to obtain a better grip on the paper to which the clip is applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The combined paper knife, book marker and clip substantially as described whether
or not the blade be adapted to serve also as a pen.
