IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF SLIDING OR TELESCOPIC PENCIL CASE APPLICABLE ALSO FOR PENS
Year: 1884

page_text: I JACOB MERZBACH of the firm of Fellheimer and Company of 57 St Mary Axe
in the City of London Importer a communication from abroad by Messrs Helmreich
and Company of Nurnberg in the Empire of Germany do hereby declare the nature
of said Invention for IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF SLIDING OR TELESCOPIC PENCIL
CASE APPLICABLE ALSO FOR PENS, to be as follows:-
-
The drawing accompanying this specification shews a pencil case constructed
according to this invention and drawn to an enlarged scale. Fig 1 shewa
a view partly in section of the case when open and ready for use and Fig 2
is also a view partly in section of the case when shut. The same letters are
employed in both views. a shews the outer tube and b inner tube. In the
tube b is fitted a spring c so as to force this tube down the tube a in the position
shewn at Fig 2 and as hereafter described. The tube b has a slot d therein curved
at its lower end as shewn in which a pin e fixed to the outer case slides this pin
also takes into a hole formed in the sliding piece g so as to slide there with when
the case is either opened or shut. Supposing the pencil case to be shut as shewn
at Fig 2 it will be seen that by pushing the tube b up the tube a that the pin e
together with the sliding piece g will slide in the, slot d and when it (the pin)
comes to the curved part e¹ of same it will turn the tube b slightly round and
cause it to be locked in the position shewn at Fig 1 at the same time compressing.
the spring c and in order to shut the case again it is simply necessary to turn the
tube b slightly round in an opposite direction to the aforesaid turn when the pin e
will be released and the tube b will spring back into position shewn at Fig 2.-
Dated this ninth day of Mav 1884.

I JACOB MERZBACH of the firm of Fellheimer and Company of 57 St Mary Axe
in the City of London Importer a communication from abroad by Messra Helinreich
and Company of.Nurnberg in the Empire of Germany do hereby declare the nature
of "IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF SLIDING OR TELESCOPIC PENCIL CASE APPLICABLE
ALSO FOR PENS" and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The drawing accompanying this specification shews a pencil case constructed
according to this invention and drawn to an enlarged scale. Fig 1 shews view
of a pencil case constructed according to my said invention with the outside tube
.or cover a removed. Fig 2 shews detached view of cover a. Fig 3 shews section
of pencil case complete open ready for use. Fig 4 shews section of pencil case
closed. The same letters are employed in all views. a shews the outer tube and
b inner tube In the tube b is fitted a spring c so as to force this tube down the
tube a in the position shewn at Fig 3 and as hereafter described. The tube bhas
a slot d therein curved at its lower end as shewn in which a pin e fixed to the
outer case a slides this pin also takes into a hole formed in the sliding
slide therewith when the case is either open or shut. Supposing the pencil as
shewn at Fig 4 it will be seen that by pushing the tube b up the tube a that the
pin e together with the sliding piece g will slide in the slot d and when it (the pin)
comes to the curved part c¹ of same it will turn the tube b slightly round and
cause it to be locked in the position shewn at Fig 3 at the same time compressing
the spring c and in order to shut the case again it is simply necessary to turn the
tube b slightly round in an opposite direction to the aforesaid turn when the pin e
will be released and the tube b will spring-back into position shown at Fig 4.-
80 us to
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
The construction of pencil or pen cases substantially as described and shewn.
