COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cases, for Angler's Flies, and the like, and
Cyclist's Accessories."
I, WILLIAM CHALKLEY, of The Square, Winchester, in the county of Hants,
Fishing tackle maker. 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 Cases adapted for the use of anglers, and cyclists.
In the accompanying drawings I have shewn what I consider to be the best.
means of carrying out my invention, in which—
Fig. 1 is a plan shewing the case open and expanded.
Fig. 2 a plan shewing the case folded and closed.
Like letters indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
According to my Invention I make a case preferably of leather, and of the form,
or approximate form, shewn on the accompanying drawings.
At about the centre of the case when opened out I fit a pocket A, to the flap of
the said pocket I suitably attach boxes C, C, C, of convenient dimensions, and in
number as desired, these boxes have glass or other transparent lids so that their
contents may be seen at a glance.
I further provide on the flap of pocket a strap, or band B, under which various
fittings may be passed and held in position.
I also provide and fit another pocket D, and on same fix another box E, or boxes,
the box is shewn with the lid Et hinged back.
The lids of boxes C may be all hinged, or they may be made if preferred with
sliding lids in one or two parts, the boxes may also if desired be provided with a
suitable removable tray or with trays the contents of the tray, or trays may be
fitted into same loosely, or suitably secured by elastic or other straps.
I have shewn three boxes on one part, and one on the other part of the case, thus
when the case is folded up and closed the box E-when its lid is closed-will fit
between the boxes C, C, C, (see Fig. 2.); but it is obvious I may fit more or less
boxes than shewn and yet arrange. that when the case is closed they will not foul
one another.
I may if preferred make my cases of metal, or wood, or any other suitable
material, suitably jointed or hinged, and construct them either with, or without
pockets, but fitted with boxes in similar manner as hereinbefore described and
shewn in the accompanying drawings.
The boxes may be fitted if preferred so that they can be easily detached from the
case and as readily refitted to same, or they may be fixed to the case by rivets F.
An important feature of my invention is, that the contents of boxes in the case
can be seen at a glance, and yet they are securely fastened in place.
The case when folded up is secured in that position by means of the leather
strap G, and it is then a most convenient and portable article for the purposes
herein before described.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1st. The improved case of the above mentioned type, all constructed, arranged,
and combined, substantially as described with reference to the accompanying
drawings, and operating as, and for the purposes above specified.
2nd. In a case of the above mentioned type the combination of boxes C, flaps A,
and D), and other devices substantially as hereinbefore set forth for the purposes
specified.
