IMPROVED CASE FOR CONTAINING THE WRITING AND OTHER MATERIALS USED BY ACCOUNTANTS, AND OTHERS, AND MORE PARTICULARLY REQUIRED IN AUDITING
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOSEPH HALL of Wharncliffe Chambers, Sheffield in the County of York,
Accountant's Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED CASE FOR CONTAINING THE WRITING AND OTHER MATERIALS USED BY
ACCOUNTANTS, AND OTHERS, AND MORE PARTICULARLY REQUIRED IN AUDITING
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to cases or receptacles for containing the writing and other
materials used by accountants and others, and more particularly required in
auditing, and consists in so forming the case as that it will afford facilities for
containing, in a manner easy of access and at the same time suitable and convenient
for carrying in the pocket, the said materials.
In carrying my invention into effect I make a case, preferable of wood covered
and lined with leather or other suitable material and measuring about 7 inches
long by 24 inches broad and 1 inch deep, the said wood being by preference a little
less than a quarter of an inch in thickness. The "cut open," or place where the
lid is made to join the case when closed, is made about the centre of the case and
the lid is hinged and made to open in a manner similar to an ordinary razor case;
a suitable clasp is provided to keep the case closed when not in use.
In the interior or base of the case I place, preferably in bins partitioned for the
purpose-ink bottle or bottles and so arrange them as that the orifice of the neck
or Decks thereof will, when the lid is closed come in contact with a suitable pad
preferably made of India rubber such pad being secured in the interior of the lid
so that when closed as aforesaid the said contact of the pad with the orifice of the
neck of the bottle or bottles effectually prevents any escape of the inks contained
in the same.
The other portion of the interior of the case I partition in a suitable manner for
holding pens pencils and pen holders.

Chartered Accountant do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED CASE FOR CONTAINING THE WRITING AND OTHER MATERIALS USED BY
ACCOUNTANTS AND OTHERS AND MORE PARTICULARLY REQUIRED IN AUDITING
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 or receptacles for containing the writing and other
materials used by accountants and others and consists in making a case in such a
manner that it will afford facilities for containing in a manner easy of access, and
also suitable for being carried in the pocket, the said materials.
In carrying out my invention I make a case, preferably of wood covered with
leather and suitably lined and measuring outside about 7" x 24" x 1" and the
wood being about " thick.
ول
The "cut-open or place where the lid joins the main body when closed is
made about half way up that side which measures 1" as above stated, and the lid
is hinged so as to open in a similar manner to an ordinary razor case.
A suitable clasp or fastening is provided to keep the case closed when not
in use.
In the interior or base of the case I place (preferably in bins partitioned for the
purpose) the ink bottle or bottles and arrange the same in such a manner that
the orifice of the neck or necks thereof will, when the lid is closed, come in contact
with a suitable pad (preferably made of India-rubber,) such pad being secured in the
interior of the lid-This contact of the said pad with the necks of the bottles
effectually prevents any escape of the contents of the said bottles.
The remaining portion of the interior of the case may be used for containing
pens et cetera.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I shall now
proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose shall refer to
the several figures on the annexed sheet of drawings, the same letters of reference
indicating corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the case shown partly open.
Figure 2 is a latitudinal section as taken through one of the bottles.
A is the lid, B is the base or body of the case; C and C¹ represent the bottles
for containing ink; D is the pad for stoppering the bottles; E is the orifice to the
bottle neck, is the clasp or fastening, G is the partition; H is the hinge and
I. I. are the pencils or penholders.
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
1 claim is, The adaptation or combination of the lid of the case for the two-fold
purpose of securing the contents of such case and at the same time constituting the
stopper or cover for the ink bottle contained therein.
