We, EDWIN WOODALL, of Woodbine Crescent, Stockport, in the County of
Chester, Manufacturer, and WILLIAM PARKINSON, of 107, Gatley Road, Cheadle, in
the same County, Agent, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be
as follows: —
Our invention consists of a leather or like case adapted to hold and display an
ordinary railway or steamship contract ticket or passport, or to hold postage
stamps, visiting cards or like matter, and separate, or in combination with, an
insurance coupon or policy for railway accident risks, pasted in, or otherwise
applied, to such case, entitling the owner, or his or her representatives, to
compensation for injury, or loss of life.
The case is, by preference, formed as a book-back, and in one side is provided
with an opening for enabling the display of the contract ticket without requiring it
to be removed from the case, and for keeping the ticket clean and the case intact,
such opening is glazed with a piece of thin celluloid through which the printed
matter on the ticket is easily discernible.
The other half and inner side of the case carries the insurance coupon, which is
pasted or otherwise fixed in position, and is, by preference, printed on glazed paper
or card. It may, however, be stamped in gold or silver letters direct on to the
leather, or be displayed in like manner to the ticket.
The owners name and address, or a yearly calendar, may also be fixed or printed
on the outside of the case, and thus increase the utility of the case.
Our invention may also be applied to letter cases, wallets, purses, and the like,
and with, or without the insurance coupon.

like Tickets or Contracts, Postage Stamps, Visiting Cards, or
the like, also applicable to Letter Cases, Wallets, Purses, and
the like.
We, EDWIN WOODALL, of Woodbine Crescent, Stockport, in the County of
Chester, Manufacturer, and WILLIAM PARKINSON, of 107, Gatley Road, Cheadle,
in the same County, Agent, 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 :--
Our invention consists of a leather or like case adapted to hold and display an
ordinary railway or steamship contract ticket or passport, or to hold postage stamps,
visiting cards, or like matter, and separate, or in combination with, an insurance
coupon or policy for railway accident risks, pasted in or otherwise applied to such
case entitling the owner or his or her representatives to compensation for injury
or loss of life. The case is, by preference, formed as a book back, and in one side
is provided with an opening for enabling the display of the contract ticket without
requiring it to be removed from the case, and for keeping the ticket clean and the
case intact, such opening is glazed with a piece of thin celluloid through which the
printed matter on the ticket is easily discernible.
The other half and inner side of the case carries the insurance coupon, which is
pasted or otherwise fixed in position, and is, by preference, printed on glazed
paper or card. It may, however, be stamped in gold or silver letters direct on to
the leather, or be displayed in like manner to the ticket.
And in order that our said invention may be more readily understood we have
appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which,
Fig. 1 is an outside view of the ticket case, and Fig. 2 an inside view of the
same.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the case on line a-b in an open position, and
Fig. 4 is a similar section of the case in a closed position.
Referring to the drawings, we form the ticket case of leather or other suitable
material of two parts (A), (B) and joined together by flexible part (C). Upon the
inner face of part (A) we form pockets or divisions (D) for the reception of
visiting cards, etc., and pockets or divisions (E) for the reception of postage
stamps.
Upon the inner face of part (B) we paste or otherwise fix an insurance coupon (J)
which is preferably printed on glazed paper or cardboard. The wording of such
coupon may however be stamped in gold or silver letters direct on to the leather
case.
Between the outer face of part (B) and the division (F) we form a pocket (G),
and the said outer casing has an oval or other opening (K) which is glazed by
means of a piece of celluloid (L). This pocket (G) is for the purpose of holding a
season or contract ticket (M), and the face of such ticket can be seen through the
celluloid without removing it from the case and so keeping the same clean and the
case intact.
The owners name and address or a yearly calendar may also be fixed or printed
on the outside or inside of the case (A) in any convenient position and thus increase
the utility of the case.
Our invention may also be applied to letter cases, wallets, purses and the like,
and with, or without the insurance coupon.

page_text: Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be described, I declare that what we
claim is :-
I. The improvements in holders or cases for railway and like tickets or
contracts, stamps, visiting cards and the like also applicable to letter cases,
wallets, purses and the like including an insurance coupon affixed thereto,
substantially as herein set forth and illustrated on the accompanying
drawings.
