Improvements in Pen and Pencil Holders.
I, WALTER BRIERLEY, of Central Chambers, Halifax, in the County of York,
Patent Agent, do hereby declare that I am in possession of an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN PEN AND PENCIL HOLDERS
32 communicated to me from abroad
by Ludwig Hörr of Nürnberg, Germany, Lead Pencil, Manufacturer to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-—
This invention relates to combined pen and pencil holders and consists of an
improved construction and combination of slotted internal tubes for controlling the
in and out movements of the pen and the pencil and for securing same when in
position for use.
Such being the nature and object of this my said Invention, the following is a
complete discription of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in
which
Fig. 1 shows partly in section the combined pencil and pen holder closed, that is
the two points are covered.
Fig. 2 a like view, the pen ready for use.
Fig. 3 like view pencil inverted ready for use.
Figs. 4. 5 and 6 illustrate the internal tubes and the pen and pencil holder.
The outer tube a encloses the whole, so that at the one end only the head of
the inner tube protrudes and at the other end the head of the inner tube d.
The tube is inserted into a at c and has a slot fand a smaller slot J.
Inside tube is the tube d provided with the slot h. To the tube d is fastened the
pin which projects into the slot g of the tube b.
Near the pin the tube is a little smaller in diameter for the reception of the
spiral spring the other end of which (Fig. 1) presses against a rim of the tube b.
In the tube d there is the pon and pencil holder e, the movement of which is limited
by the pin and the slots and h. If pressure is brought to bear on the head of
the tube d (Fig. 1) protruding from the outer tube a, the tube d with pin i moves
sidewards and upwards (which is caused by the inclined slot g of the tube b whereby
the spiral sprink is compressed. By the lateral displacement of the tube d its
slot comes together with the slot of the tube which enables the pen and
pencil holder e to move with with the pin in the slots fand to fall downwards.
If the pressure on the head of the tube d be removed the compressed spring k
presses again this tube downwards and sidewards by means of the pin i moving in
the inclined slot g. Whereby the pin and with it the holder e are likewise
pressed sidewards and the latter is now in the safe position illustrated in Fig. 2 and
the pen is ready for use. If the holder has been closed, shewn in Fig. 3 and one
presses the head of the tube d, the slits f and h come together again, the holder e
drops and the lead as shown in the diagram protrudes.
When the pressure ceases, tube d and with it slot h, by the influence of the spiral
spring and the slot g with pin i regain the former position and secure the position
of the pencil holder.
By turning the holder to one of the positions of Figs. 2 and 3 and pressing the
head of the tube d twice, the penholder is changed into a pencil holder and vice-
versa.
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
The improved holder and container for pen and nancil wherein is comprised and

constructed and operating as herein fully described and substantially as illustrated
by annexed drawings.
