We HENRY HOWE BEMROSE and WILLIAM BEMROSE, both of Iron Gate,
Derby in the County of Derby, Printers, and EDWARD WILSON, of Uttoxeter
New Road, Derby in the County of Derby, aforesaid, Booksellers' Assistant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to

statement:-
case for
The object of our invention is to provide an improved cabinet or
stationery and the like in combination with a writing pad or rest the whole being
capable of being closed on the drawing or pulling down of a lid or shutter after
the manner of an ordinary revolving shutter such as is used for shop windows.
In explaining the nature of our invention and the construction of our improved
stationery cabinet we refer to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of
reference thereon.
The drawing is a general perspective view showing the various drawers partly
open and the writing pad partly drawn out, the enclosing lid or shutter being
withdrawn and coiled upon its roller.
In forming our cabinet we make the base in the shape of a flat box or case A
with top B and bottom C and having an intermediate or false bottom D within the
space between the top B and shelf or plate D we arrange a drawer E for large
sized papers and in the space between D and the bottom is the pad or rest F for
convenience of writing, etc.
Upon the base A we superpose sides G rising vertically and cut back from front
towards the rear as shown in the segment of a circle. At the rear of the base we
carry up the end of the structure at H and at a point say I we raise a division not
shown in the drawing between which and the end H may be placed the roller or
other device for winding up the lathed or other shutter or lid.
Within the space above the top of base B and enclosed by shutter J we arrange
drawers K K K K of sizes to correspond with certain sizes of paper and envelopes,
and moveable divisions L L L for note paper, post cards, etc. a date card Ma
receptacle for sealing wax Na space or housing for ink bottles O with a tray for.
pens or pencils P. In one of the drawers a special space or division Q or a
ruler.
When it is desired to close the cabinet pins are passed through holes in the top
ledge or plate B into the drawers E at points T so securing the same; the lid or
shutter is then drawn down and the whole secured by a lock R taking into a
housing on the ledge or top B. Handles S may be attached to the sides of the
cabinet for convenience of moving.
It will be seen that the various divisions and drawers may be removed for the
purpose of cleaning the cabinet.
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The construction and arrangement of cabinet or case for stationery and the like
substantially as described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
