I,, FREDERICK WILLIAM TOMKINS TURTON, Managing Director of Fredk. W.
Turton Limited, of Frederick Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturing
Jewellers and Silversmiths, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows;-
-
This invention relates to combination pencil and pen cases and análogous
instruments for writing purposes, and has for its object, principally, to adapt the
pencil parts thereof to receive cedar or like wood-encased lead pencils, instead of
pencils in the form of lead sticks as usually employed in pencil cases made of
gold, silver or other metal.
In carrying out one form of my invention in connection with a combined pencil
and pen case, the instrument consists of a tubular body part, made of silver or
other metal, and being open at each end, one of which is adapted to close by a
removable cap fitted with a piece of india rubber or eraser, whilst the pencil or
penholder parts are fitted within and are adapted to be extended beyond the other
end. The pen holder is of the usual form and is slid into and out of its position
of use by a thumb piece on the outside of the casing the stalk of which is con-
nected to the said pen holder by extending through a longitudinal slot in one
side of the casing, which slot constitutes a guide for the sliding movement of
the pen. The pencil holder consists of a tubular sleeve, internally located within
a guide tube disposed in the inside of the casing and being partially encircled
by the pen holder slide, longitudinal coinciding slots being formed along both
the casing and guide tube on the opposite side to that of the pen holder and
through which the stem of a thumb piece extends and is screwed into or rivetted
to the said pencil sleeve or carrier and affords the means of sliding it into and
out of its position for use.
The outer end of the pencil carrier is internally screwed and receives the
externally wormed end of a' cedar or other wood encased pencil, which may be
readily secured thereto and removed when worn away.
This pencil holder may also be used alone, or combined with toothpick, pen-
knife or other instrument and instead of both ends being open, with one of them
closed by a detachable cap, the said ends may be permanently enclosed, or it may
be formed into a box with a screwed on lid for containing a spare pencil, pins
or other small articles.

I, FREDERICK WILLIAM TOMKINS TURTON, Managing Director of Fredk. W.
Turton Limited, of Frederick Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturing
Jewellers and Silversmiths, 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:—
This invention relates to combination pencil and pen cases and analogous
instruments for writing purposes, and has for its object, principally, to adapt the
pencil parts thereof to receive cedar or like wood encased lead pencils, instead of
pencils in the form of lead sticks as usually employed in pencil cases made of
gold, silver or other metal.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents, an elevation of a combina-
tion pen and pencil holder embodying my improvements, and showing the pencil
extended but with the pencil in its withdrawn position within the pencil case.
Figure 2 is another elevation with the pencil holder, adapted to carry a short
length of ordinary cedar or wood-covered pencil pushed out.
Figure 3 is a complete longitudinal section of the instrument with both the
pen and pencil in their drawn-in or out-of-use positions.
Figure 4 is an end view of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a part section and part elevation of the combination instrument,
showing the wooden pencil holder fully extended, but with the pencil length
itself removed.
Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5, but showing the pencil drawn in and
the pen extended.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the said figures
of the drawings.
In carrying out this form of my invention, in connection with a combined pencil
and pen case, the instrument consists of a tubular body part a, made of silver
or other metal, ebonite or other material and being open at each end a¹, a³, the
former of which is adapted to be closed by a removable cap b, fitted with a piece
of india rubber or eraser 6', whilst the pencil and penholder parts c, d, are fitted
within and are adapted to be extended beyond the other end. The pen holder d,
is of the usual form and is slid into and out of its position of use by a thumb
piece d', on the outside of the casing the stalks d, of which are connected to the
said pen holder by extending through the longitudinal slot a³, in one side of the
casing, which slot constitutes a guide for the sliding movement of the pen. The
pencil holder c, consists of a tubular sleeve c¹, internally located within a guide
tube, excentrically disposed in the inside of the casing a, and being partially
encircled by the pen holder slide d, longitudinal coinciding slots 3, 4, being formed
along both the casing and guide tube on the opposite side to that of the pen holder
and through which the stem or stenis 6, of a thumb pièce, extend and are
screwed into or rivetted to the said pencil sleeve or carrier and affords the means
of sliding it into and out of its position for use.
The outer end of the pencil carrier is internally screwed at c², and receives the
externally wormed end e¹, of a length of cedar or other wood-encased pencil e,
which may be readily secured thereto and removed when worn away.
This pencil holder may also be used alone, or combined with toothpick, pen-
knife or other instrument and instead of both ends being open, with one of them

page_text: closed by a detachable cap the said ends may be permanently enclosed, or it may
be formed into a box with a screwed-on lid for containing a spare pencil, pins
or other small articles.
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:-
In pencil cases, or combination instruments for writing and analogous pur-
poses, the combination with such instruments of a sliding pencil carrier having
an internally screwed end c, adapted to receive the end of a length of cedar or
other wood-encased pencil, substantially as and for the purpose as described and
set forth.
