follows:-
This invention relates to a novel kind of holder for lead pencils made of tubular
xylonite, aylonite, or celluloid. The material is made in tubes of different sizes on
iron cores. The pencil is held on a sliding socket within the main sheath, in this
is a slot terminating at an angle at top, through which works a pin passing through a
collar sliding on sheath and into the socket within sheath the socket being actuated to
push out the pencil by the head of the pin the angle of the slot at top acts as a check
to hold the pencil out. The sheath, socket, and collar, are made in tubular lengths
and cut to the desired length and the slot stamped by a steel stamp. To make the
pencil holder a disinfecting one camphor is used in the manufacture of the tubes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Pencil Case or Holder.
I, WILLIAM HENRY SHARP, of 119 New North Road, Hoxton, Middlesex, Fancy
Box 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 to a simple arrangement of holder for lead pencils made of
tubular xylonite or similar compounds. The material is made up in tubes of different
sizes on iron cores, and cut to the desired lengths. To make the pencil holder a
disinfecting one camphor is used in the manufacture of the tubes which emits its
smell when the holder becomes warm in the pocket.
To enable my invention to be fully understood 1 will proceed to describe the same
with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1. is a longitudinal view of a holder according to this invention.
Figure 2. a sectional view of same.
A is a sheath of xylonite tube, having a slot B terminating with a cross slot C at
top, these slots being stamped out in any convenient way. On the tube A slides a
collar D formed of xylonite through which passes a pin E to secure the pencil F.
This collar D is made in lengths of tubing and cut to the depth required.
When the pencil is pushed out it is held by turning the collar D slightly round to
bring the pin E into cross slot C. The other end of the tube A is closed by a piece
of india rubber or wood plug G. When the pencil F has to be replaced the pin E is
drawn out and a fresh length of pencil inserted and secured by the reinsertion of the
pin E as before.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
1. A pencil holder consisting of a tubular part A having a slot B with cross slot C
at top, a sliding collar D and pin E, as described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings

page_text: 2. In a pencil holder securing the pencil to an outside sliding collar by means of a
pin E, as described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 15th day of October 1890.
