PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Paper Reel and Pad Writing
Appliances.
I, WALTER MORRISON FIELD, of 122, George Street, in the City and County of
Edinburgh, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be
as follows:-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to paper reel or
roll, and pad writing appliances.
According to my improvements I use a portable board which may either be
flat on the table or desk, or be raised by means of a projecting down support at
its upper end to a convenient angle for writing upon.
This board may be made of wood, iron, papier-mache or other suitable material.
A reel or roll of paper is placed at upper end of board and retained in this
position by metal clips or arms entering a central roller upon which the roll or
reel of paper revolves, and hinged to, or made to swivel on a metal plate which
is secured to the board. Or the paper reel or roll may be retained in this posi-
tion by spring clips on either side which would have a cone so as to enter the
centre of the roll of paper, and so keep it securely fastened in one position.. The
web of paper from reel would pass under a metal plate, which metal plate might
act as hinge for the metal clips which secure the roll of paper by a central
roller. This metal plate would act as a guide to the web of paper. This web
would then pass preferably over a metal plate or other suitable substance for
writing upon, extending to a lower metal plate on board. This lower metal plate
would also act as a guide for the web of paper, underneath which the web of
paper would pass and the writing surface of the paper would be between the two
transverse plates which would be fastened to the board and after the note had
been finished the web would be drawn down until the written portion or note
had passed the lower transverse plate where it would be cut by tearing it by
means of drawing the paper along the bottom edge of the lower transverse plate
which might be sharpened and of any material that would offer a cutting edge
to the paper.
By a modified arrangement the paper may be passed from roll over the upper
end of board and. then underneath and pass up on upper surface from bottom of
board and be cut off by the edge of one of the transverse plates. By this means
any desired length of written paper may be obtained.

I, WALTER MORRISON FIELD, of 122, George Street, in the City and County of
Edinburgh, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement in writing reference being made
to the accompanying drawings.
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to paper reel or
roll, and pad writing appliances.
And in order that my said said invention may be properly understood, I have
hereunto appended a drawing representing a prospective view of my paper reel
and pad writing appliances.
Referring to the drawings:-
According to my improvements I use a portable board A which may be either
flat on the table or desk, or as shown be raised by means of a projecting down
support A at its upper end to a convenient angle for writing upon...
1..
This board may be made of wood, iron, papier-mache or other suitable material.
A reel or roll of paper B is placed at its upper end of board and retained in
this position by the kneed ends of metal clips or arms 6 entering a central
roller B upon which the roll or reel of paper B revolves, and hinged to, or made
to swivel on a metal plate C which is secured to the board A. Or the paper
reel or roll B may be retained in this position by ordinary spring clips on either
side which would have a core so as to enter the centre of the roll of paper, and so
keep it securely fastened in one position. The web Z of paper from reel B would
pass under a metal plate C which metal plate might act as hinge for the metal
clips which secure the roll of paper by a central roller.. This metal plate C
acts as a guide to the web Z of paper. This web Z would then pass preferably
over a metal plate or other suitable substance on the top of board A for writing
upon, extending to a lower metal plate D on board. This lower metal plate D
would also act as a guide for the web Z of paper, underneath which the web of
paper would pass and the writing surface of the paper would be, between the
two transverse plates C, D, which would be fastened to the board A and, after
the note had been finished the web J would be drawn down until the written
portion or note had passed the lower transverse plate D where it would be cut
by tearing it by means of drawing the paper along the bottom edge of the lower
transverse plate D which might be sharpened and of any material that would
offer a cutting edge to the paper.
By a modified arrangement the web Z of paper may be passed from roll Bover
the upper end of board and then underneath and pass up on upper, surface from
bottom of board and be cut off by the edge of one of the transverse plates Clor D.
By this means any desired length of written paper may be obtained..
"
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:-
First. A paper reel and pad writing appliance-combined and arranged substan-
tially as herein described in reference to and shown in the accompanying
drawings.

page_text: Second. The combination of paper reel and metal clips or holders with a board.
over which the web is guided to form a writing appliance, substantially as herein
described in reference to and shown in the accompanying drawings.
