page_text: I, JOSEPH MARKS NEMEROVSKY, of 10, Gough Street, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Draper, do hereby declare the nature of my, said invention to be as
follows:-
-
My invention has for its object an improved lock and label holder which is specially
applicable to cycles and by which I am enabled to secure the label or address card or
tablet so as to prevent it being tampered with at the same time as the cycle is secured
it can also be applied to bags, trunks or the like with equal advantage.
In carrying my invention into practice I form my lock and label holder from a
box or receptacle provided with a lid fitted with a transparent front. Inside this
box I arrange two rollers at either end and on these rollers I secure a strip of paper
or the like upon which the address of the owner may be written. These rollers can
be operated from the exterior of the box by a key or its equivalent so that when a fresh
address is required by turning one of the rollers a clear strip of the paper is pre-
sented. Also arranged in the interior of this box is a locking device which may
consist of a cranked lever working on a pivot and operated by a key which fits into
a key hole formed on the underside of the box. This lever is provided at one end
with a catch which when locked catches into a ratchet formed on one end of the paper
rollers and prevents them from revolving. The other end of this lever catches into a
sliding bolt which bolt is provided with a short and a long arm and slides into two
holes formed at one end of the box. The short arm catches on to the end of the
lever or levers of the lock and the long arm passes through loops or catches attached
to the lid and also to the lid of another receptacle on the underside of the box thus
securing both lids. A loop is formed at the end of the bolt for attaching a chain
when using my lock for securing a cycle but when used for a bag or trunk this loop
may be made to swivel or bend. I also attach by a link or its equivalent to the box
or receptable a folding case for attaching the railway label and this case when not
in use will fold up on to the top of the box where it may be secured by an elastic
band or its equivalent.

and by the following statement:-

lever or levers of the lock, and the long arm passes through loops or catches attached
to the lid and also to the lid of another receptacle on the underside of the box thus
securing both lids. A loop is formed, at the end of the bolt for attaching a chain
when using my lock for securing a cycle but when used for a bag or trunk this loop

In order that my invention may be more clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings. upon
which I have illustrated examples of my lock and label holder.

In carrying my invention into practice I form my lock and label holder from the
box or case A provided with the lid a¹ which is fitted with a transparent front.
Inside this case at either end I mount the rollers B and B¹ in the bearings 62 and in
the division piece 63 and on these rollers I secure the roll of paper or parchment P or
the like upon which. the address of the owner may be written or printed. This
strip of paper or the like is attached to the rollers by the bar 6 which is pivoted at
73 and when closed binds the paper against the roller. The ends of the rollers which
are mounted in the bearings 62 are formed square and can be turned by means of a
key which fits onto these ends as clearly shewn at Figure 4 so that when a new
address is required by turning one of these rollers a fresh strip of paper is presented.
Also arranged inside the case between the division piece 63 and the other side of the case
is the locking device which consists of the cranked lever I working on the pivot ď¹
operated by a key which fits into the key hole formed in the underside of the case.
The spring S is provided for keeping the lever in its normal or closed position. This
lever is formed at one end with the catch d³ which when in its normal position takes

into the teeth of the rachet b³ fixed on the end of the roller B and prevents the rollers
from being turned. The other end of this lever is formed with the projection d
and takes into the slot et formed in the sliding bolt E as clearly shewn at Figure 3,
which bolt is formed with the short and long arms and e respectively.
arms slide into the holes.a and a³ formed in the side of the case as shewn at
Figure 5 and when in position the short arm e catches onto the projection d' of the
lever D and the long arm passes through the loops or catches and f¹ attached to
the lids a and F respectively which lid F forms the cover for the receptacle on the
underside of the case thus securing both these lids and at the same time locking
the paper rollers thereby preventing the name of the owner and the destination of the
article from being tampered with. To release the boit E the key is inserted from the
underside and when turned presses against the lever D thus withdrawing the projec-
tion d out of the slot e¹ by which means the bolt can easily be withdrawn.
The
end of this bolt is formed into a loop or bow for attaching a chain or the like
when using my lock for securing a cycle but when used for a bag or trunk or the like
this loop may be made so as to swivel or bend. On the top of the plate H which
covers the locking mechanism I fix the tablet or slip of paper or the like on which
the name of the place from whence the cycle or other article to which the lock is
attached has been despatched may be written or printed. The bar a5 forms a
division between this tablet and the roll of paper 1'. I also attach the link K or
its equivalent to the other end of the case and to this link I secure the folding tab
or label holder K' to which the railway label or the like may be fixed and this case
when not in use may be folded up onto the top or underside of the case where it is
secured by the elastic band or its equivalent as clearly shewn at Figure 9.
Figures 6 and 7 I have shewn my method of securing my lock and label or tablet
holder when used for locking a trunk or the like. In this case I form the frame N
with the flange n¹ which is secured by screws, rivets or the like to the interior of the
trunk or its equivalent. The lock and tablet or label holder fits into this frame and
is held therein by the cross bar n² or its equivalent. The end of the rollers B and B¹
are extended and fit into the slots n³ thus preventing the lock from being moved out
of its frame. The sliding bolt E is fixed in position to the lid of the trunk, the end
being formed straight instead of looped for this purpose. When the lid of the trunk
or the like is closed the arms of the bolt slide into their respective places thus locking
the box. To open the trunk the key is inserted, the key hole being in front instead
of at the back as previously described.
At
It will be evident that other forms of locking mechanism may be used in place of
the snap lock as shewn and they may have two or more levers if necessary so long
as when the key is turned the whole of the parts are simultaneously locked and
unlocked.
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:-
CLAIMS.
First: The improved lock and label or tablet holder consisting essentially of the
case or box A with its lids a¹ and F the moveable paper or parchment or its
equivalent mounted on the rollers B and B¹ the lever D for locking the parts

holder K¹ all arranged in the manner and for the purpose substantially as herein set
forth and as shewn upon the drawings.

herein set forth and as shewn.
Third: In a lock and label or tablet holder as claimed in the first claim the
