Slates.
ROBERT CLEDFORD RILEY, Engineer, Ipplepen, Newton Abbott Devon, and
RALPH HODGSON, Engineer Ipplepen Newton Abbott Devon do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A inner tube is made to fit in a outer tube about half inch diameter and seven
inches long. A slot or aperture about quarter inch wide is made in each
tube, extending whole length except half inch at each end. A band half inch
wide is placed over each end of outer tube and down each side three quarters
inch below bottom of tube forming ears or clips to secure on frame of slate
by small tacks or screws.
The bands also form ends for outer tube. Inner
tube is closed at one end and is half inch shorter than outer tube. A small
coil spring is placed between the closed end of inner tube and end of outer tube.
A slot is made in outer tube about one eighth inch wide at opposite side to aperture
slot and about equal distance from each end extending from top of tube to one
third the circumferance. On one side of this slot at top end a small lock slot is
made about one eighth inch square. A stud with small knob is secured to back of
inner tube through this slot in outer tube. When the stud knob is put to top end
of slot the aperture inside of inner tube is turned to bottom of outer tube at same
time the coil spring forces the tube forward and stud enters lock slot and the
aperture in outer tube is securely closed. When stud is pressed out of lock slot
and turned in circumferance slot the aperture of inner tube is turned opposite
aperture in outer tube, the safe is then open to take out or put in pencil.

ROBERT CLEDFORD RILEY, Engineer, Ipplepen Newton Abbott, Devon, &
RALPH HODGSON, Engineer, Ipplepen Newton Abbott, Devon, 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 :-
A outer tube, "A on drawing, Fig. 1—2—3—5 & 6." is made about half inch
diameter and of any required length say from 5 to 7 inches long, with a slot or
aperture, "C on drawing Fig. 1. 5 & 6." along the side about inch wide, extending
the whole length of tube, except about inch at each end. A inner tube "B on
drawing, Fig. 1-2-3-5 & 6." is made to fit just easily in the outer tube, with a
slot or aperture along the side the same length and width as that in the outer tube,
this inner tube is about half an inch shorter than the outer tube and is closed at
one end. A band, "D on drawing Fig. 1-2-3 & 4." about inch wide is placed
over outer tube at each end and down each side about three quarters of an inch
below bottom of tube, forming clips to secure to frame of slate by small tacks or
screws, the bands are soldered or otherwise secured to outer tube, and made to
form ends for same. The tubes and bands are made of tinplate or any suitable
material. A coil spring "F. on drawing Fig. 1-2 & 3." about inch long
and inch diameter is placed between closed end of inner tube and end of outer
[Price 8d.1

page_text: tube. A slot about inch wide "G on drawing, Fig. 2 & 3." is made in outer
tube at opposite side to aperture slot and about equal distance from each end, and
extending from top of tube to one third the circumferance of same. On one side
of this slot at top end, a small lock slot is made about 6 inch square. A stud
with small knob "E. on drawing, Fig. 1-2-3-5 & 6." is secured to back of inner
tube through this slot in outer tube. When the stud knob is put to top end of
slot, the aperture along the side of inner tube is turned to bottom of outer tube, at
same time the coil spring forces the inner tube forward and stud enters lock slot,
the aperture in outer tube is then securely closed. When stud is pressed out of
lock slot and turned to bottom of circumferance slot, the aperture of inner tube
is turned opposite aperture in outer tube, the holder or case is then open to put in,
or take out pencil.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is.
1. We claim the arrangement of tubes with aperture slots, and lock slot and stud
knob as described.
2. We claim the form and arrangement of bands forming ends for outer tube and
clips to secure same to frame of slate as described.
3. We claia the arrangement of coil spring between end of inner and end of
outer tubes as described.
4. We claim a combination of the whole of the parts named to produce the
effect described.
