page_text: We CHERUBINI HALSEY, of 9 Malvern Villas, Thornton Heath, in the county of
Surrey, Manufacturer and CHARLES FEARNLEY ARNOLD of The Ferns, Elm Grove,
Peckham, in the county of Surrey, Salesman do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The present invention relates to further improvements in the devices for
carrying parcels known as the Atlas parcel carrier.
According to these improvements we employ a bar of suitable material as
hitherto to which we adapt a hook or hooks, or a catch or catches or their
equivalents-We prefer to so slot the bar that the hooks when the device is not in
use can be turned into the said slots.
By this arrangement it will be obvious that to carry a parcel tiod with string in
the ordinary manner it is merely necessary to hook the device in or onto the said
string and the bar will then form'a handle by which the parcel can be conveniently
carried.
When not required for use the hooks are turned down into the slots and the bar
can be conveniently carried in the pocket. In cases where the hooks do not turn
into the slots they are so arranged as to lie against the bar when the device is not
in use.

page_text: We, CHERUBINI HALSEY, of 9 Malvern Villas, Thornton Heath, in the County of
Surrey, Manufacturer, and CHARLES FEARNLEY ARNOLD of The Ferns, Elm Grove,
Peckham, in the County of Surrey, Salesman, 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 :-
The present invention relates to further improvements in the devices for carrying
parcels known as the "Atlas parcel carrier."
According to these improvements we employ a har of suitable material as
hitherto to which we adapt a hook or hooks, or a catch or catches or their
equivalents. We prefer to so slot the bar that the hooks when the device is not in
use can be turned into the said slots.
In order to enable our invention to be fully understood we will proceed to
describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figures 1, 4,
6, 8 and 9 represent longitudinal elevations of devices for carrying parcels
constructed according to our invention; figures 2, 5, and 7, are plans of the under-
sides of the devices shewn respectively in figures 1, 4, and 6; figure 3 is a
transverse section on line A B of figure 1. Similar letters in all the figures
represent similar parts.
a, represents the bar of suitable material and bb are the hooks, two of which
can be employed to each device as shewn in figures 1 to 5 and in figures 8 and 9,
or the bar can be provided with only one of such hooks as shewn in figures 6 and 7.
In figures 1 to 7 we have shewn the bar a, formed with slots or grooves c, in
which the hooks b, are pivotted on a pin d, in such a manner that they can be
turned into the grooves or slots c (as shewn in dotted lines in figures 1, 4 and 6)
when the device is not in use.
.
Figures 8 and 9 illustrate an arrangement in which the hooks.b, are connected
to the bar a, by means of loops e, e, of cord or the like passing transversely
through the bar a, and fixed therein in any suitable manner.
By this arrangement' it will be obvious that to carry a parcel tied with string in
the ordinary manner it is merely necessary (the hooks being in the position shewn
in full lines in figures 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8) to hook the device in or onto the said
string, and the bar a, will then form a handle by which the parcel can be
conveniently carried.
When not required for use the hooks b, are turned down into the slots or
.grooves c, as shewn in dotted lines in figures 1, 4 and 6, and in full lines in
figures 2, 5, and 7, and the bar can then be conveniently carried in the pocket,
In cases where the hooks do not turn into slots in the bar as in figures 8 and 9
they can lie against the bar when the device is not in use as shewn in the
latter figure

page_text: It will be obvious that instead of employing hooks as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the drawing we can make use of catches of suitable construction for
receiving the string with which a parcel is tied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
The manufacture and use of the improved devices for carrying parcels herein-
before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
