London, Hardware Merchants AN IMPROVED COMBINATION SHOE-HORN AND
BUTTON-HOOK

16
This Invention has for its object improvements in combined shoe-horns and
button books.
I hinge or otherwise connect the one end of the button hook to the upper part
of the shoe horn so that it may be folded up and conveniently carried in the
pocket, forming a most useful and compact companion.
When using the button hook the shoe horn forms a good handle and vice versa.
The concave shape of the shoe horn receives the button hook when folded.
The button hook is kept in the open or closed position by means of a spring
secured to the shoe-horn or forming part thereof and acts upon the short projection
near the hinge pin on the one end of the hook.
The hook may in some cases be conveniently pivotted to the shoe horn vertically
but the novelty exists in the combination of those two articles capable of being
folded for the pocket as before described.

SIGMUND PULZER of the firm of S. Guiterman, Lawrence Lane in the City of
London Hardware Merchants "AN IMPROVED COMBINATION SHOE-HORN AND
BUTTON-HOOK"
"
This Invention has for its object improvements in combined shoe-horns and
button hooks. I hinge or otherwise connect the one end of the button hook A to
the upper part of the shoe horn B so that it may be folded up and conveniently
carried in the pocket forming a most useful and compact companion.
When using the button hook the shoe horn B forms a good handle and vice
versa. The concave shape of the shoe horn B receives the button hook when
folded as shown at Figures 3. 4 and 5.
The button hook is kept in the open position shewn at Figures 1 and 2 or in
the closed position as shown at Figures 3.-4-and-5-by means of-a-spring C-secured:
to the shoe horn or forming part. thereof and acts upon the short projection near
the hinge pin D on the one end of the hook.
The hook may in some cases be conveniently pivoted to the shoe horn vertically,
but the novelty exists in the combination of those two arcticles capable of being
folded for the pocket as before described.
Having-thus-described-and-ascertained-the-nature-of-my-invention.and_in_what
manner the same is or may be performed I would have it understood that what I
claim is :-
The combined shoe horn and button hook capable of being folded in the manner
and for the purposes herein-before described and illustrated.
In witness whereof I the said Sigmund Pulzer have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Seventeenth day of April in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
