I, FREDERICK EDMONDS, of 32 John Street, Bedford Row, in the County of
London, Silversmith and Pencil Case Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of the present invention is to form a combined pen and pencil case
with a single push piece of 1ng which is capable of propelling and withdrawing
either the peu holder or pencil according to which it is desired to use, the one
being withdrawn within the casing as the other is propelled to project
therefrom
In carrying my invention into effect I mount in the centre of the pen and pencil
case, an ordinary guide tube, in which slides the lead-carrier, which is of ordinary
construction, the slot in the guide tube being, however, of greater length than
usual. This lead-carrier is provided with a pin which passes through the slot
in the central guide tube and engages in a spial groove formed in a tube which
is capable of evolving around the said central guide tube and thus causing the
lead-curiler to be piopelled and withdrawn. Around the before mentioned
spirally-grooved tube and fixed igidly thereto, is another spirally-grooved tube,
this latter having the groove formed in the opposite direction to that of the
former. The penholder, which slides between the outer spirally-grooved tube and
the external casing, has a pin which engages in the external spirally grooved tube
and another pin which projects through a slot cut in the external casing, and which
may be connected to a sliding ring as is well understood; or one end of the same
pin may be used to travel in the groove of the outer spirally-grooved tube aud
the other end passed through the slot in the outer casing. The operating pin or
ing is in the centre of the slot in the casing when the pen and pencil are out of
use, the lead-carrier and pen-holder being just within the casing.
When it is
desired to use the pen, the pin or ring, which is connected to the penholder, is
pushed forward to one end of the slot in the outer casing, thereby causing the pen
to project. The pin, which is connected to the penholder aud which works in the
external spirally-grooved tube, causes the two spital tubes to revolve, which has
the effect of withdrawing the lead-carrier farther into the casing. When the
operating pin or ring 18 moved to the other end of the slot in the external casing,
it withdraws the penholder and propels the lead-carrier.
It will be understood that instead of a penholder, a second lead-carrier might be
employed without departing from the peculiar character of invention.
Dated this 23rd day of October 1895.

1, FREDERICK EDMONDS, of 32 John Street, Bedford Row, in the County of
London, Silversmith and Pencil Case Maher, 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 the presont invention is to form a combined pen and pencil case
with a single push-piece or ring which is capable of propelling and withdrawing
either the pen-holder or pencil according to which it is desired to use, the one
being withdrawn within the casing as the other is propelled to project
therefrom.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is an external view of my improved pen and pencil case with the pen and
pencil retracted within the outer case.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same showing the pen protunded and
Fig. 3 another similar section showing the pencil protruded
Fig. 4 is partially an external view and partially a longitudinal section of the
pen and pencil case minus the external case and push-piece of ring.
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section of the spirally-grooved tubes, part of the tuner
of said tubes being shown in elevation, and
Fig 6 18 a longitudinal section of the central guide tube within which the lead-
cale is caused to slide
Figs 4, 5, 6 are diawn to a large scale than the other figures
In all the figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount in the centre of the pen and pencil
case, an ordinary guide tube a, in which slides the lead-carrier b, which is of
ordinary construction, the slot a' in the guide tube a being however of greater
length than usual. This lead-carrier bis provided with a pin b' which passes
though the slot a' in the central guide tube a and engages in a spial groove c
formed in a tube C which is capable of revolving around the said central guide
tube a and thus causing the lead-carrier b to be propelled and withdrawn. Around
the before-mentioned spirally-grooved tube c is another spirally-grooved tube d,
this latter having the groove d' formed in the opposite direction to that e' of the
former. The tubes e and d are fixed igidly to an intermediate tube which
causes them to evolve together and forms a bottom to, or division between, the
two grooves cd. The penholder, which slides between the outer spirally-
grooved tube.d and the external casing g, has a pin f, which engages in the
external spally-grooved tube d, and another pin which projects through a
slot gout in the external casing g, and winch may be connected to a sliding
ring, as is well understood; or one end of the same pin may be used to travel
in the groove d' of the outer spirally-grooved tube d and the other end passed
through the slot g' in the outer casing. The operating pin for ing is in the
centre of the slot g¹ in the casing 9 when the pen and pencil are out of
use, the
lead-carrier band penholder f being then just within the casing g.
When it is
desired to use the pen the pintor ring 3, which is connected to the penholder f.
is pushed forward to one end of the slut g' in the outer casing g, thereby causing
the
pen to project The pin f, which is connected to the penholder and which
works in the external spirally-giooved tube d, causes the two spiral tubes cd to
revolve, which has the effect of withdrawing the lead-carrier 6 further into the
casing g. When the operating pin for ring is moved to the other end of the
elot g¹ in the external casing g, it withdraws the penholder fand propels the lead-
carrier b.

page_text: 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 :-
The improved pen and pencil case substantially as herein shown and described
and for the purpose stated.
