PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Sealing Compendium.
I, WILLIAMINA MUNRO HENERY, of Orealla Villa Cleveland Road, Torquay,
Gentlewoman, of no occupation, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention consists of a small tube or case of metal or other suitable material
at one end of which is a seal for impressing the wax either screwing within or on
the top of the case, or fitting thereon, or within as a plug. Beneath this seal is a
receptacle for matches and a little stand for holding a lighted match is also placed
therein. In the other end of the case or tube is inserted the stick of sealing wax
ready for use.
A slot may be made in the side of the tube and a disc placed at the back of the
wax with a finger piece projecting through the slot so that the stick of wax may be
propelled, or other known arrangements for propelling may be applied such as
used for pencil cases.
A portion of the outer surface is roughened for striking the matches thereon.
Dated this 7th day of April 1894.

An Improved Sealing Compendium.
I, WILLIAMINA MUNRO HENERY of Orealla Villa Cleveland Road Torquay,
Gentlewoman, 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 consists of a small tube or case of metal or other suitable material
at one end of which is a seal for impressing wax forming part of a cap or covering
to one end of the tube or case and fitting thereon or therein by a screw, or as a
plug. This end of the tube or case is formed as a receptacle for matches and a
small stand for holding a lighted match is also placed therein.
In the other end of the tube or case is inserted a stick of sealing wax ready
for use.
A slot may be made in the side of the tube and a disc placed at the back of the
wax with a finger piece projecting through the slot so that the stick of wax may
be propelled. Or other known arrangements for propelling may be applied, such
as those used for pencil cases.
A portion of the outer surface is roughened for striking the matches thereon, or
material for striking the matches may be wrapped round a portion of the case.
Referring to the accompanying drawings upon which similar letters of reference
refer to corresponding parts in the various figures ;
Figs. 1 & 2 are elevation and section of one form of case.
Figs. 3 & 4 elevation and section of another construction of case, and
Fig. 5 details.
T
1 8- D fusing into th

page_text: matches (c), (d) is a stick of sealing wax placed in the other end of the tube and
fitted so as to slide therein by being attached to the sliding disc or pad (e). The
tube may be sufficiently long to house the whole of the wax or be as shewn upon
the drawings as may be desired.
The little stand for holding the match may be circular as shewn in plan and
elevation Fig. 5 and fit in the tube at (f) Figs. 2 & 4, over the matches or may
be of any other suitable form capable of being packed into the receptacle (b).
Any portion of the tube is roughened for striking the matches thereon such as
at (g) Figs. 1 & 3.
When desired to construct the tube so as to be able to propel the sealing wax a
band (h) may be constructed to slide over the tube and be connected with the disc
or pad (e) at the back end of the sealing wax by means of a pin or projection
passing through the slot (i) so that by sliding the ring (h) over the slot (i)
the sealing wax d may be propelled for use and afterwards drawn back into
the case.
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 :
An improved sealing compendium consisting of a tube to contain the wax, the
matches, and stand for holding same, fitted with a seal, substantially as herein
fully set forth and specified.
