An Improved Case for Holding Fish Hooks and Gut.
I, WILLIAM SMALLWOOD, of the Lion Works, Redditch, in the County of
Worcester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved case for holding
fish hooks and gut, and has for its object to provide a case in which fish hooks
attached to gut may be carried in the pocket, thus rendering them very accessible
when required for use, and preventing any disarrangement of the same.
In carrying my invention into effect I cut from stout paper or cardboard
a square shaped blank having four projecting sides arranged to fold over so
as to form a small square case, to the square part of the said case I attach an
elastic band arranged to clip the small packets containing the fish hooks and
gut, thus keeping them in order.
I may when desired vary the shape of the case and the material from which it
is made as circumstances may require to carry my invention into effect.
Dated this 6th day of January 1898.

An Improved Case for Holding Fish Hooks and Gut.
I, WILLIAM SMALLWOOD, of the Lion Works, Redditch, in the County of
Worcester, 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:-
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved case for holding
fish hooks and gut and has for its object to provide a case in which fish hooks
attached to gut may be carried in the pocket, thus rendering them very accessible
when required for use, and preventing any disarrangement of the same.
In carrying my invention into effect I cut from stout paper or cardboard
a square shaped blank having four projecting sides arranged to fold over and
form a small square case. To the square part of the said case I attach an elastic
band arranged to clip the small packets containing the fish hooks and gut, thus
keeping them in order. I may when desired vary the shape of the case and the
material from which it is made as circumstances require to carry my invention

page_text: My invention will be more clearly understood from the accompanying drawings
the same letters of reference indicating similar parts throughout. Figure 1
illustrates in front and side elevation a case for holding fish hooks and gut in
its closed position. Figure 2 shows the same case with the flap open. Figure 3
shows the blank cut into shape from which the case is made A is the body of the
case having sides B, C and D and the flap E.
The dotted lines F indicate creases made in the material to enable the sides
being folded over to form the case as shown at Figure 1. The end G of the
flap passes through the slit H. A number of fish hooks and the gut are placed in
paper packets, and then put in the case, the flap E being folded in position thus
keeping them in order. As an additional security an elastic band may be placed
round.
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:-
The improved case for holding fishhooks and gut cut from paper cardboard or
the like into the form shown at Figure 3 the sides B, C, D and E being folded
over into the form shown at Figures 1 and 2 substantially as described and
illustrated.
