Complete Specification Left. 5th Feb., 1896-Accepted, 14th Mar., 1896
An Improved Ticket Pocket or Case.
I, KARL LEVERKUS, of 40 Blumenstrasse, Gohlis, Leipsic in the Empire of
Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as.
follows:-
The invention consists in a variation of the ticket pocket or case, for which
I filed an application for a patent on the 7th August 1894 under No. 15052 and
left a
Complete Specification with drawings on the 4th May 1895.
Instead of the fingerhole in the centre and the curved cut at the edge in the
front I employ a single cut, which reaches from the edge touching the turnable
cover to near the opposite edge. When the cover is opened, this cut enables the
finger to take hold of the ticket and to draw it out forthwith. The cut is so
formed, that a ticket half inserted in the pocket or case is protected against getting-
out through the cut, no matter, whether the ticket half be introduced with its
broader or narrower side forward into the pocket.
The ticket pocket or case is in other respects the same as the one described in
the said Complete Specification and shown in the drawings attached thereto. It
may be arranged for either rivetting or sewing on some object, and it may be-
made of any stiff material.
Dated this 20th day of May 1895.

An Improved Ticket Pocket or Case.
I, KARL LEVERKUS, of 40 Blumenstrasse, Gohlis, Leipsic in the Empire of
Germany, Engineer, 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 invention consists in a variation of the ticket pocket or case, for which
I obtained the Letters Patent No. 15,052 of 7th August 1894.
I will now proceed to describe my invention, having reference to the drawing
accompanying this my Complete Specification.
Figs. 1 to 6 show a ticket pocket or case arranged for sewing on an article of
wearing apparel, portmanteau, or other article, Fig. 1 being a front view, Fig. 2 a
longitudinal section taken in the plane of the line u-v in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 such.
a section taken in the plane of the line w-x in Fig. 1, Fig. 4 a top view, Fig. 5 a
cross section taken in the plane of the line y-z in Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 a sectional
view on the line s-t in Fig. 2.
The pocket or case consists in the back wall A, the front wall B, the border-
pieces CDE, the cover F and the spring H, which parts are united by the
rivets II and G. Instead of the finger hole in the centre and the curved cut at
the edge of the front wall as described in the said Letters Patent No. 15,052 of
the 7th August 1894 I employ a single long cut K, which reaches from the open
end to near the opposite end. When the cover F is opened, this cut K enables.
[Price 8d.1

page_text: the finger to take hold of the ticket and to draw it out forthwith.
To better open
the cover F with the finger, the cut K is curved sideward as shown at Lio
Fig. 1. The cut K L is so formed, that a ticket half inserted in the pocket or case
is protected against getting out through the cut, no matter, whether the ticket half
be introduced with its broader or narrower side forward into the pocket.
The ticket pocket or case is in other respects the same as the one described in
the Complete Specification of the Letters Patent No. 15,052 of the 7th August 1894
and shown in the drawings attached thereto. Only the spring H is slightly altered,
it being made a little longer and held by a single rivet I. The pocket or case is
essentially a shallow frame made of any stiff material and provided with the hinged
cover and the spring H. In the drawing it is shown to be provided around the
edges with holes Q Q and recesses R for securing it by means of a sewing thread.
Where it is so preferred, the holes QQ and the recesses R may be replaced by
suitable rivet holes as described in the said Letters Patent No. 15,052 of
7th August 1894.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare, that what I
claim is :-
A ticket pocket or case consisting in the combination of a shallow frame A B
having in the front wall a long cut K L for the removal of the ticket and being
provided around the edges with holes for fastening it to the wearing apparel or
other article, with a hinged cover F, and a spring H for holding said cover F in
the closed or open position, substantially as set forth.
Dated this 3rd day of February 1896.
