WILLIAM BURGESS, 43 Market Street Brighton, Hardwareman, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for A WINDOW TICKET HOLDER to be as follows:-
:-
A ticket holder by which the ticket is securely held between two flat surfaces,
which by the shape of the holder, are made to press against each other, the ticket to
be inserted between them. The holder may be attached to an article by one or more
hooks or pin shaped portions, cut in the centre or sides of the holder.
The window ticket holder is made of thin sheet steel, or other suitable material
which is cut into pieces of an oblong shape with rounded ends.
There are then one or more narrow portions cut in the steel, leaving one end of
each portion uncut. See Figures 1 & 2.
Each portion is then bent out from the main body of the holder to form a hook or
pin. See Figures 3, 4, 5 & 6.
The holder is then bent in the middle, and the two ends brought together, with one
or both tips bent slightly outwards, the bend in the holder forming a spring to keep
the two ends close together.
In bending the holder, the parts that hold the ticket, are brought opposite to each
other, forming two smooth surfaces, between which the ticket may be inserted. See
Figures 7, 8, 9, & 10.

I WILLIAM BURGESS of 43 Market Street, Brighton in the County of Sussex
Ironmonger "do hereby declaro 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 :-
My invention relates to a window ticket holder, by which means the ticket is
securely held between two flat surfaces of metal, which by the design and shape of
the said holder, are constructed to press against or clip each other; and the aforesaid
ticket to be inserted between the two flat surfaces. My invention may be attached to
any article by one or more hooks, pin, or spiked portions of the metal being cut in the
centre, sides or any other portion of the holder.
The holder is stamped, cut or pressed out into any of the designs described in the
drawings accompanying the provisional specification out of sheet steel or any other metal
or material, which is cut into pieces of an oblong shape with rounded or any other
shaped ends. There are then one or more narrow portions in any device cut in the steel,
leaving one end of each portion attached as in figure 1 and figure 2, in order that the
said portion may then be bent out or formed, from the main body of the holder into a
hook, pin, spike or any other shape. The holder is then bent in the centre, and the
two ends brought together with one or both tips bent slightly outwards, the bend in
the centre of the holder forming a spring to keep the two ends close together. In
bending the holder, the parts that hold the ticket are brought opposite to each other,
forming two smooth surfaces, between which the ticket may be inserted and the spike
or pins of the holder can be fixed into any article it is desired to ticket.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the drawings accompanying my Provisional Specification reference being.
had to figures marked thereon.,
Figures 1 and 2, represent the full size stamped blanks cut to the desired shapes.
Figures 3 and 4 denotes the blanks pressed in the second process, by having the knee
bend stamped upwards. Figures 5 and 6 represent the spikes turned or pressed
downwards.
Figures 7 and 8 denotes a portion of the blanks bent in the centre to form the
required spring. Figures 9 and 10 is a representation of the other portion of the
blanks formed into the desired shape of the window ticket holder.
I do not limit myself to the particular shape of the ticket holder as shewn on the
drawings as they may it is evident be varied without departing from the nature of my
invention, provided it be of such a nature as is hereinbefore described.

page_text: Having now fully described the nature and object of my invention, and the manner
in which the same is to be performed I claim as new and novel the following:-
-
First The combination of the various portions, cut or stamped, with the blanks in
their various stages, to form a metallic clip for holding tickets and the like substantially
herein described and according to the drawings accompanying the provisional
specification.

in any article, substantially herein described and according to the drawings accom-
panying the provisional specification.

Thirdly I claim to make the device in any shape, or size and of any metallic
substance substantially herein described.
Fourthly: The two flat surfaces between which the ticket is inserted are opposite
to each other.
Fifthly: The pin or spike parts cut from the centre or sides of the holder sub-
stantially described.
