PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Paper and Exercise Book Holders and
Blotting Pads.
EDWARD GEORGE PEYTON, 20, Maxilla Gardens, North Kensington, W.,
County of Middlesex, Army Tutor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a means of holding an exercise book
or ordinary pieces of paper printed or otherwise, used for any purpose on a block
or sheet of card board, in a convenient form, so that the work of whatever nature
may be readily blotted, kept free from rubbing or dust. At the side or sides of
the block or sheet of card board or similar material, by clips or a similar
contrivance, a means is provided by which sheets of blotting paper or other
material (printed or plain) moveable at will, can be folded or placed over, between,
under or above, the work written, drawn or performed by any other process. Flaps
in a book form may also be added as a hand rest to make up for any inequality
experienced in using thick exercise books or blocks of paper.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Paper and Exercise Book Holders and
Blotting Pads.
EDWARD GEORGE PEYTON, 20, Maxilla Gardens, North Kensington,
London, W., in the County of Middlesex, Tutor, 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:-
On
The holder is composed of an ordinary case made of leather, paper, card board,
mill board, papier marché or any similar material suitable for forming a case.
the left hand side of the case a Hap is fixed or attached which holds blotting paper
on both sides. The flap is made of mill board, card board, stiff paper, papier
marché or sonic such substance and is fixed to the case so that it can be easily
turned backwards or forwards. The object of the flap is to enable a child, in the
case of an exercise book to blot both sides by means of interleaving a written
page of matter, with the aforesaid flap. For ordinary purposes when used as a
blotting pad only, the holder contains blotting paper in lieu of an exercise book
and the flap is used as an auxiliary to cover letters, papers or to hold the writing
paper firmly.
When used for note books, calenders, ledgers or any form of
business books, flaps are placed at the foot of the holder to enable the writer to
have a convenient rest for his hand. In the annexed sheet of drawings which
show a plan of the pad when opened as well as an end view with flap in elevation ;
A., represents flap: B. 13. represents blotting paper: C. elastic band to keep the
blotting paper in its place: D. D. left wing of case, E. E. right wing of case.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what [
claim is:-
1. The improvement afforded by a flap containing blotting paper on both sides,

page_text: so as to enable a sheet or leaf of paper having matter written thereon to be
blotted on both sides, the said flap being permanently fixed or attached to the
side of the case or holder.
