COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Money-holder with Arrangement for Making Notes.
EDUARD BEIN of 37 Moritzstrasse Chemnitz, in the Empire of Germany
Manufacturer 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:-
The present invention is for the purpose of remedying an inconvenience which
always occurs on taking money out of holders of any kind, such as purses, money-
bags and other closed receptacles.
This inconvenience consists in the person extracting the money being unablo, in
the majority of cases, to immediately note the amount taken out, on account of the
lack of writing materials. By the present invention this inconvenience is remedied
in an original aud practical manner.
Careful people, who are in the habit of booking everything immediately, have
already attempted a control by having a small lead pencil and note tablet in the
purse etcetera, but this plan is found to be very unpractical, as in the hurry one
quite forgets about the writing material, whereas it should always be borne in
mind; and the essential object of this invention is to incite such remembrance.
The arrangement will, so to speak, figurativelly say to the person taking out the
money: "make a note "; and this it does by letting a lead pencil fall into the hand
of the opener of the purse. By this means, in every case, a reminder is given
which it is quite impossible to overlook.
At the same time the necessary note-tablet is at hand. It can either be simply
arranged on the cover of the flap in the case of purses etcetera, or may be arranged
as an independent flap which covers the divisions, closing them, and thus preventing
the money from falling out.
The placing of the lead pencil in the hand can be accomplished in various ways.
In Figs. 1 and 2 on the drawing it is arranged in such a way that the lead pencil
operates as a lock-bolt, forming a part of the lock, which consists of three sockets.
Two of them, a and b, are connected by a long-piece o fitted to them, which again
is fastened to the purse, and serves to prevent a bending of the sockets. The third
socket c on the contrary is arranged on the flap d of the purse.
The first mentioned sockets a and b are at such a distanco from each other, that
the socket e can, by folding over of the flap, enter and lie between them in the
long piece o, whereby all three sockets form a single one. A suitable pencil is n.w
inserted into the socket a, c, b by means of which a closing is effected. On opening
the purse etcetera, the lead pencil must now be taken in the hand and thereby the
reminder to make a note is imparted. The note is made upon a tablet f, which can
be arranged on the flap, or may be forined on an independent tablet.
In Fig. 3 a flap-catch is shown, the flap h of which firmly holds the pencil e, as
long as it is closed, but on opening allows the lead pencil to fall immediately into
the band.
Similarly with the ball-lock shown in Fig. 4, the lead pencil which lies under the
balls i falls out.
In Fig. 5 the purse bas a slide-catch, the pencil being freed when the slide k is
moved.
In Fig. 6 a lock is shown which must be opened by a key. Here the pencil is
arranged across the keyhole, so that it must be taken out before unlocking, and
therefore likewise remains in the hand of the person taking out the money.

page_text: 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:
A money-holder with arrangement for making notes, with which the person
taking out the money is reminded to make a note by a lead pencil falling into his
hand at such time of opening, which in combination with a note-tablet, forming a
flap or otherwise, makes up the noting arrangement.
