PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Edward Bryant at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 5th August 1882.
CHARLES EDWARD BRYANT of Great Pulteney Street, Golden Square in the
County of Middlesex "AN IMPROVED HOLDER FOR CHALK AND OTHER MATERIALS
FOR THE USE OF TAILORS, DRESSMAKERS, BOOT MAKERS AND OTHERS
"
The invention has for its object an improved holder for chalk and other materials
for the use of Tailors, Dressmakers, Bootmakers and others.
For this purpose I mount the chalk or other material in a clip formed to the
required shape and size and consisting of two jaws sprung towards each other or
with one fixed jaw and one spring jaw. This clip is pin jointed to an outer
case in such manner that it can be turned outwards from the outer case so as to
expose the chalk or other material or it can be turned inwards so as to protect such
material.
Between the outer case and the spring clip I preferably place a sheath or
protector provided with slots to enable it to be moved to and fro on the pin
connecting the clip and outer case.
This sheath or protector is formed of a size and shape completely to enclose the
clip and its contents so that when in the pocket no portion of the chalk or other
material shall be exposed.
If desired however the sheath or protector may be dispensed with in which
case the clip may be formed with a return piece at one or both edges so as to
afford as much protection as possible to the chalk or other material both in use and
in the pocket.

page_text: I however prefer the first described form as in addition to giving the greater
amount of protection to the chalk or other material in use the intermediate sheath
or protector at such times gives rigidity to the holder and prevents the clip with
its contents from turning around the pin joint..
By the use of a holder constructed as above described, dispense with the
necessity for piercing the chalk or other material thereby preventing the breakage
of chalk or other such material in use.
My Invention is principally intended for use with chalk but it may be used
with other marking materials and as a holder for india rubber or other material
for which such a protector is desired.

CHARLES EDWARD BRYANT of Great Pulteney Street, Golden Square in the
County of Middlesex AN IMPROVED HOLDER FOR CHALK AND OTHER MATERIALS
FOR THE USE OF TAILORS, DRESSMAKERS BOOTMAKERS AND OTHERS
The Invention has for its object an improved holder for chalk and other materials
for the use of Tailors, Dressmakers, Bootmakers and others.
For this purpose I mount the chalk or other material in a clip formed to the
required shape and size and consisting of two jaws sprung towards each other or of
one fixed jaw and one spring jaw. This clip is pin jointed to an outer case in such
manner that it can be turned outwards from the outer case so as to expose the
chalk or other material or it can be turned inwards so as to protect such material.
Between the outer case and the spring clip I preferably place a sheath or protector.
provided with slots to enable it to be moved to and fro on the pin connecting the
clip and outer case. This sheath or protector is formed of a size and shape
completely to enclose the clip and its contents so that when in the pocket no
portion of the chalk or other material shall be exposed.
If desired however the sheath or protector may be dispensed with in which case
the clip may be formed with a return piece at one or both edges so as to afford
as much protection as possible to the chalk or other material both in use and in
the pocket.
I however prefer the first described form as in addition to giving the greater
amount of protection to the chalk or other material in use the intermediate sheath
or protector at such times gives rigidity to the holder and prevents the clip with
its contents from turning around the pin joint.
And in order that my said Invention may be more clearly understood and readily
carried into effect I will proceed aided by the accompanying Drawings more fully
to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a side view and Figure 2 is an edge view of a chalk holder constructed
according to my Invention and showing the same opened out and in position for
use. Figure 3 is a side view and Figure 4 is an edge view of the same shewing
the clip opened out and the sheath or protector in its raised or extended position
in which position of the parts the clip can be turned upon its pin joint and enclosed
in the outer case, or the sheath or protector can be pushed down into the outer
case, thereby placing the parts in the position for use as shewn at Figures 1 and 2
Figure 5 is a side view and Figure 6 is an edge view of the outer case separately.
Figure 7 is a side view and Figure 8 is an edge view of the clip separately and
Figure 9 is a side view and Figure 10 is an edge view of the sheath or protector
separately. Figure 11 is a side view and Figure 12 is a plan of a modification of
my invention. and Figure 13 is a side view and Figure 14 is an edge view of
another modification of my Invention.
a is the chalk or other material which according to my Invention I mount in
a clip b formed to the required shape and size and consisting of two jaws sprung
towards each other or of one fixed jaw and one spring jaw. This clip b is pin
jointed at c to an outer case d in such manner that it can be turned outwards from
the outer case d so as to expose the chalk or other material a, or it can be turned
inwards so as to protect such material a.

page_text: Between the outer case d. and the spring clip b I preferably place a sheath or
protector e. provided with slots e¹ on its sides to enable it to be moved to and fro
on the pin c. connecting the clip b and the outer case d.
This sheath or protector e. is formed of a size and shape completely to enclose the
clip band its contents a. so that when in the pocket no portion of the chalk or
other material shall be exposed.
If desired however the sheath or protector e may be dispensed with as shewn at
Figures 11 and 12 in which case the clip b may be formed with a return piece b¹
at one or both edges so as to afford as much protection as possible to the chalk or
other material a both in use and in the pocket.
I however prefer the first described form as in addition to giving the greater
amount of protection to the chalk or other material a, in use, the intermediate
sheath or protector e. at such times gives rigidity to the holder and prevents the
clip b with its contents from turning around the pin joint c.
In the modification represented at Figures 13 and 14 the sheath or protector e.
is pin jointed to the outer case d. and the clip bis arranged to slide within the
sheath or protector e to facilitate which the latter has formed on its edges two
slots e', in which slide studs b' fixed to the clip b.
By the use of a holder constructed as above described I dispense with the
necessity for piercing the chalk or other material thereby preventing the breakage
of such materials in use.
My Invention is principally intended for use with chalk but it may be used
with other marking materials and as a holder for india rubber or other material
for which such a protector is desired.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention and the mode in which
I carry the same into effect I would have it understood that what I claim is the
clip band outer case d, in combination or not with a sheath or protector e,
substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
In witness whereof I the said Charles Edward Bryant have hereunto set my
hand and seal this fifth day of February in the year of Our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
