page_text: I WILLIAM FREDERICK BARTON MASSEY-MAINWARING of 30 Grosvenor Place in
the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of the said-
invention to be as follows:-
The invention has for its object the production of a magazine holder for lead,
crayon or other marking material in which any one of the lengths of marking
material contained therein is capable of being brought into use when required:
without removal from the magazine.
For this purpose I form the holder with two or more longitudinal chambers
arranged in a circle around its longitudinal centre or axis and I form and fit the
nozzle of the holder in such manner that it is capable of being rotated so as to
bring the passage therethrough into a line with any one of the longitudinal
chambers in the holder as may be required.
•
If desired suitable stops may be employed to retain the nozzle in position
opposite any one of such longitudinal chambers. The nozzle is formed so as to be
capable of clipping the lead or other marking material to hold it in position-for
use and of releasing the same when it is required to allow it to fall back into
the holder.
:
.
The chambers of the holder may be supplied with lengths of the same or of
different colored marking material.
Thus whenever it is required to bring into use a new length of lead or other'
marking material it is only necessary to revolve 'the nozzle to the required extent
to bring it opposite such new length when by holding the nozzle downwards the
said new length of marking material will fall into the nozzle where it can be held'
by causing the nozzle to clip firmly thereon.

TATE
I, WILLIAM FREDERICK BARTON MASSEY-MAINWARING of 30 Grosvenor Place in
the county of Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
"
The invention has for its object the production of a magasine holder for lead,
crayon or other marking material in which any one of the lengths of marking
material contained therein is capable of being brought into use when required
without removal from the magazine.
For this purpose I form the magazine portion of the holder with two or more
longitudinal chambers arranged in a circle around its longitudinal centre or axis
and I form and fit the nozzle of the holder in such manner that it is capable of
being rotated so as to bring the passage therethrough into a line with any one
of the longitudinal chambers in the holder as may be required. If desired suitable
stops may be employed to retain the nozzle in position opposite any one of such
longitudinal chambers. The nozzle is formed in any of the modes now well
understood so as to be capable of clipping the lead or other marking material to
hold it in position for use and of releasing the same when it is required to allow
it to fall back into the holder.
The chambers of the holder may be supplied with lengths of the same or of
different colored marking material.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood and
readily carried into effect, I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings
more fully to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is an external view, Figure 2 is an end view, Figure 3 is a longitudinal
section and Figure 4 is a cross section of my improved holder for lead crayon or
other marking material. Figure 5 is an external view and Figure 6 is a cross
section of the magazine separately. And Figure 7 is a sectional view of parts
drawn to twice the scale of the above Figures.
In carrying my invention into effect, I form the magazine. portion a of the
holder with two or more longitudinal chambers a¹ arranged in a circle around its
longitudinal centre or axis and I fix the nozzle 6¹ to a tube, which closely, fits the
exterior of the magazine a.and entirely encloses the same with the exception of
the head a The magazine a is provided with a stud or axis a³ which is rivetted
to the centre of the lower and lof the tube b in such manner as to permit of the
magazine a and nozzle b¹ being rotated in relation to each other so as to bring
the passage through the nozzle b¹ into a line with any one of the longitudinal
chambers a¹ of the magazine as may be required. If desired the tube b carrying
the nozzle b¹ may be in the form of a short ring mounted upon the lower end
of the magazine, suitable provision being made for retaining it in position with
capability of revolving on the magazine.

page_text: If desired suitable stops may be employed to retain the nozzle b¹ in position
opposite any one of the longitudinal chambers a¹ or the parts a and b may be
formed to fit each other with sufficient friction to prevent their rotating accidentally
in relation to each other but which will permit of their said rotation by hand when
desired.
In order to indicate when one or other of the chambers a¹ of the magazine is in
a line with the nozzle b' I form a notch on the upper end of the tube b and a series
of notches at around the head a of similar number to the chambers a¹ and on the
same radial lines.
When supplying the chambers a¹ with different colored leads or marking
material these notches a may be filled with material of corresponding color so
as to indicate when a particular color is in line with the nozzle b. Other means
however may be adopted for indicating the contents of the various chambers a¹.
The nozzle is formed with a split or divided internal tube b³, the outer ends
of the divided sections of which are capable of being compressed upon the lead or
relieved from pressure by means of the external tube or nozzle b¹ which is capable
of being screwed to and fro the required distance upon the screw b³ as is well
understood.
Other suitable means of clipping and releasing the lead or other marking
material may however be employed.
The chambers a' may be supplied with lengths of the same or of different
colored marking material. Thus whenever it is required to bring into use a new
length of lead or other marking material, it is only necessary to revolve the
nozzle b and tube b to the required extent to bring the nozzle b¹ in line with such
new length, when by holding the nozzle b' downwards the said new length of
marking material will fall into the nozzle where it can be held by causing the
nozzle to compress the split end of the tube 62 upon the marking material.
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:-
A holder for lead crayon or other marking material consisting of a nozzle b¹ fixed
eccentrically to its carrying tube combined with a magazine a formed with
longitudinal chambers a¹ each of which is capable of being brought into line with
the nozzle b¹ when required substantially as herein shown and described and for
the purpose stated.
