COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A. Ticket Holder or Protector, chiefly applicable for use by Bus
Conductors, Tram Conductors, and the like.
I, WILLIAM JOHN EDWARDS, of 37, Carlton Road, Clapton Park, in the County
of London, Tram Driver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and as-
certained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a ticket holder or protector chiefly applicable for use
by bus conductors, tram conductors and the like.
According to the invention I construct my ticket holder or protector of plates
connected together at right angles to one another and of discs or plates secured at
the ends of the said plates so as to form divisions or compartments for the re-
ception of the bundles of tickets which are held therein by an elastic band passed
around them or by any other suitable device.
Suitable means, such as a ring and chain, are also provided whereby the holder
can be secured in any position, for example to a belt or the like worn by the
conductor.
To enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe it by reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
:-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a ticket holder or protector made according
to the invention.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof; and
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 Figure 2 shewing the method of holding
the tickets in the device.
a, a, b, bare the plates which are connected together at right angles to one
another, the said plates being of any suitable shape but are preferably of the form
shewn so as to provide a somewhat ornamental appearance and to enable tickets
to be easily detached. c, d are the two end dises or plates which are attached to the
ends of the crossed plates a, b so as to form in conjunction with the latter four com-
partments e, f, g, h for the reception of the bundles of tickets i as clearly shewn

plates a,

however, allowing a ticket to be easily raised at one end of the device and
detached.
is a ring which is attached to an eye on the plate d, the said ring being
adapted to receive a chain by means of which the holder can be secured in any
desired manner, such as for example to a belt worn by the conductor.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A ticket holder or protector comprising plates secured together at right
angles to one another and end dises forming compartments for the reception of

stantially as hereinbefore described.
