Improvements in Chatelaine-wallets or Cases for Surgical
Instruments, and for like purposes.
I, WILLIAM KING STACY, of 4 Newgate Street, London E.C. Cutlery and
Instrument Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to chatelaine-wallets for carrying surgical instruments and
for like purposes, as a chotelaine attachment, the object of the invention being to
produce a chatelaine-wallet which can be readily taken to pieces for effecting a
thorough cleansing of all the parts so nɛ to obviate the possibility of any
tendency to putrefaction by the lodgment of germs within the partitions of the
wallet from the various instruments which may be carried therein.
In carrying my invention into effect when constructing my chatelaine wallet, I
make it from metal, wood, caoutchouc, horn, celluloid, papier-maché, leather or
other suitable material, which I stamp up or press to form the desired configuration
of the case, and I provide upon the edges of the outer portion of the case a
flange or lip into which I make the other portion or portions of my wallet to fit.
I make a convenient form of wallet by providing a back plate with flange edges
and arranged to receive a front plate or dividing screen plate having a number
of recesses or divisions of a peculiar form provided within, the shape of the
recesses being arranged to suit the instruments which are to be carried or held
within them. Over one dividing partition plate I may, when desired, place one
or more outer enclosing plates to carry other instruments, or to contain bandages,
lint, or other articles of a liko nature which may be required, making the
dividing plates or partition plates in each case to attach to the frame plato
by sliding in flange grooves or by the attachments to be hereinafter described.
I perforate the back casing plate and attach to it any ordinary strap, link or
links for connecting to any ordinary suspender. My improved wallet thus
connected together by means of flanged or ribbed recesses into which each ledge
can fit is capable of readily being detached or taken to picces, so that each portion
may be thoroughly cleansed after the instruments have been carried therein for
any considerable time, or after having been inserted at the conclusion of p
operation, thereby making an effective antiseptic case.
By another method of construction which I sometimes employ, I join the various
dividing plates or partition plates together to form the wallet by means of lacing or
cord fastenings which I pass through loops or holes provided within or upon the
different members of the wallet which are to be formed into one combination article,
making the links or joining intervals of any desired width and arranged in any
particular manner to suit the form of cord, lace or binding wire which may be employed
to connect them together; the ends of the wires or cords being joined together in
any convenient manner suitable for easy attachment.
1 sometimes join my dividing partitions together by means of rivets, pins, or
other well-known fastening devices which may be readily manipulated when it is
desired to release the various parts.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any particular form of wallet
which is to be produced, or to any special purpose to which it may be applied,
but I modify the shape of the divisious and the material which may be employed

Improvements in Chatelaine-wallets or Cases for Surgical
Instruments, and for like purposes.
I WILLIAM KING STACY, of 4 Newgate Street, London, E.C., Cutlery and
Instrument Manufacturer do hereby declare 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:-
My invention relates to chatelaine-wallets for carrying surgical instruments and
for like purposes, as a chatelaine attachment, the object of the invention being to
produce a chatelaine-wallet which can be readily taken to pioces for effecting a
thorough cleansing of all the parts so as to obviate the possibility of any tendency
to putrefaction by the lodgment of germs within the partitions of the wallot from
the various instruments which may be carried therein.
In the necompanying sheet of explanatory drawings
Figure 1 is a front elevation.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of one form of my chatelaine-wallet; and
Figures 3, 4, and 5 are detail sectional plans of the same.
Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9 are elevations of other forms of my wallets constructed in
accordance with my present invention; while Figure 10 is a section on a b Figure 9.
In carrying my invention into effect when constructing my chatelaine-wallet, in
the form shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 1 make it from metal, wood, caoutchouc,
horn, celluloid, papier mache, leather or other suitable material, which I stamp
up,or press to form the desired configuration of the case A, and 1 provide upon
the edges of the outer portion of the case a flange or lip B into which I make
the other portion or portions C. D. of my wallet to fit. I inake a convenient form
of wallet by providing a back plate with flange A edges B and arranged to receive
afront plate or dividing screen plate having a number of recesses
divisions CC of a peculiar form provided within, the shape of the recesses
being arranged to suit the instruments which are to be carried or held within them.
Over one dividing partition plate 1 may, when desired, place another plate D
pr, other enclosing plates or covers to carry other instruments, or to contain
bandages, lint, or other articles of a like naturo which may be required, making
the dividing plates or partition plates in each case to attach to the frame plate
by sliding in Hange grooves or by the attachments to be hereinafter described.
or
I perforate the back casing plate A at a a' and attach to it any ordinary
strap, link or links for connecting to any ordinary suspender. My improved wallot
thus connected together by means of flanged or ribbed recesses into which each
ledge can fit is capable of readily being detached or taken to pieces, so that each
portion may be thoroughly cleansed after the instruments have been carried therein
for any considerable time, or after having been inserted at the conclusion of an
operation thereby making an effective antiseptic case.
By another method of construction which 1 sometimes employ, I join the various
dividing plates or partition plates together to form the wallet by means of lacing

page_text: or cord fastenings E as shown at Figure 6 which I pass through loops or holes e
provided within or upon the different members or different parts of the wallet
which are to be formed into one combination article, making the links or joining
intervals of any desired width and arranged in any particular manner to suit the
form of cord lace or binding wire which may be employed to connect them
together; the ends of the wires or cords being jointed together in any convenient
manner suitable for easy attachinent.
I sometimes unite my dividing partitions together by means of hinged joints
or pin bearings as at F Figure 7 or by means of rivets pins or other well-
known fastening devices which may be readily manipulated when it is desired to
release the various parts. I may make oue part to fit on to the other by studs &
and holes H or grooves as shown in Figure 8.
In making up my wallets 1 may place the lint, note book, pad, bottle, pin.
oushion or other article above the instruments as shown k at Figure 9 and employ
a flap J to cover the same. I find it convenient also to make the grooves and
ledges which engage with or unite one part to the other quite free so as to
admit of ready removal in the manner shown in dotted lines K at Figure 9.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any particular form of wallet
which is to be produced, or to any special purpose to which it may be applied,
but I modify the shape of the divisioue the form of joint or connection and the
material which may be employed for constructing the wallet to suit the particular
instruments which it may be desired to carry therein, and I cover the plates or
dividing portions with any suitable material for the purpose of making a neat.
exterior and of providing that the instrument shall not be damaged or injured by
the screens or receptacles into which they may be introduced.
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 ;-
1. In a wallet or case for carrying surgical instruments, appliances and the
like, making each division plate or cover capable of ready removal for cleaning,.
substantially as and for the purposes herein before described and as illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination of a back plate or frame with other cover plates holders,
or Ecreens each plate fitting on to or being attached to the other by flanges hinges,.
laoing or the like substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
