1. GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M. Inst. M.E., of The Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in the
County of Lancaster, 118 New Street, Birmingham in the County of Warwick,
and 31 High Holboru in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to arrange a suitably shaped model of a mail
cart (ie. of that very popular two-wheeled vehicle used by children or the larger
one to which a horse is harnessed) in such a way that it can serve as a, stand or
holder for all kinds of articles, such for instance as cruet bottles, liqueur decanters,
albums, pictures, writing- sewing-, toilet-, or smoking requisites, pipes, mirrors,
and the like.
When arranged as a cruet stand, the bottles for vinegar, oil, or the like, are
suitably inserted in the bottom of the cart, whilst the steps serve as supports for
salt and pepper holders.
The like arrangement is employed where the cart is intended to form a holder
for liqueurs or spirit decanters, scent bottles, or the like, or the bottles may be
made to discharge to the rear.
When the model cart is employed, as an album holder, the album may be placed
on the bottom of the same with one halt resting against the front rail of the cart,
and preferably in such a way that the album opens downwards.
When employed for holding writing materials, the ink pot, or pots are again
placed on the floor of the cart, and the rear step serves as a bolder for pen nibs, and
also as a support for a pen holder, whilst the front step carries a penwiper or brush
for cleaning the pens.
When arranged as a pipe holder, the bowls of the pipes are supported by the
steps and the stems are held by means of rings or other suitable devices and an ash
tray is arranged on the floor of the cart.
Finally a model of a mail cart drawn by a horse may be made to support
a suitable mirror which is pivotally attached to standards or supports.
In this form of construction the cart may also be provided with a figure of
a horse.
Various other forms of construction may also be employed in the manner
herein before described, without departing from the spirit of this invention.

I, GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M. Inst. M.E., of The Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester,
both in the County of Lancaster, 118, New Street, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, and 322, formerly of 31, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
Patent Agent, 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 for its object to arrange a suitably shaped model of a mail
cart (ie. of that very popular two-wheeled vehicle used by children or the larger
one to which a horse is harnessed) in such a way that it can serve as a stand
or holder for all kinds of articles, such for instance as cruet bottles, liqueur
decanters, albums, pictures, writing- sewing, toilet-, or smoking requisites,
pipes, mirrors, and the like. The essential novelty consists therefore in the suitable
arrangement of the cart frame so that it shall correspond each time to its specific
requirements.
In the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows the invention when arranged as a cruet stand, the bottles a, b for
vinegar, oil, or the like, being suitably inserted in the bottom c of the frame d of
the cart, whilst the steps e and f serve as supports for salt and pepper holders.
The like arrangement is employed where the cart is intended to form a holder
for liqueurs or spirit decanters, scent bottles, or the like, or the bottles may be
made to discharge to the rear.
Fig. 2 shows the arrangement when the model cart is employed as an album
holder, the album h being placed in this case on the bottom of the cart with one
half resting against the front rail of the cart, and preferably in such a way that the
album opens downwards (Figs. 2 & 3).
Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of the cart when employed for holding writing
materials, the ink pot i, or pots being again placed on the floor e of the cart, and
the rear step e adapted as a holder for pen nibs, and also as a support for a pen
holder, whilst the front step f carries a penwiper or brush o for cleaning the pens.
Fig. 5 shows the cart when arranged as a pipe bolder, the bowls of the pipes
being supported by the steps e and and the stems held by means of rings m
or other suitable devices, and an ash tray being arranged on the floor of
the cart.
Finally, Fig. 6 shows a model of a mail cart drawn by a horse, arranged for
supporting a suitable mirror S which is pivotally attached to standards or
supports n.
In this form of construction the cart may also be provided with a figure of
a horse.
Various other forms of construction may also be employed in the manner
herein before described, without departing from the spirit of this invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated
to me by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The construction of a stand or holder as a model of a mail cart of any suitable

page_text: shape and material in such a way that it may serve as a carrier for articles of all
kinds, such, for instance, as cruet-, liqueur- or scent bottles, albums or photograph
stands, writing materials, sewing or toilet articles, smokers' requisites, pipe stands,
mirrors and the like, substantially as herein before described and shown in the
accompanying drawings.
2. In a stand or holder such as described, the arrangement by which the
respective articles are placed on the seat and steps of the mail cart substantially as
set forth.
3. In a stand or holder such as described, the arrangement by which the articles
rest on the sides of the cart and on the steps, substantially as set forth.
4. In a stand or holder such as described, the arrangement by which the
respective articles are pivotally mounted on standards, bars or the like, substantially
as set forth.
