Memorandum Tablets applicable to Certain Articles of Everyday Use.
I, JOHANNES WOLTER, of No. 10, Ost Allée, Oberlalinstein, in the Empire of
Germany, Managing Clerk, 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 memorandum tablets for use with certain articles
of everyday use.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings in which
Figure 1, shews one of these tablets employed in connection with a pocket
watch.
Figure 2, is a rear elevation of the tablet.
Figures 3, to 7, shew modifications of the invention.
The device as represented in Figures 1 and 2. and in connection with Figure 3,
consists of a crescent shaped plate (a) of celluloid or other suitable material. upon
the back of which is an elastic hook (b) by means of which the said tablet is
secured to the spindle () of the watch below the ring (c). The elastic hook (b)
snaps around the spindle (4) embracing the latter in such a manner that the lower
curve of the tablet (a) rests above the dial of the watch. The rear face of the
tablet (a) may be furnished with pins (h) fitting into corresponding holes (i)
in the watch casing to secure the position of the tablet.
A modification of the invention is shewn in Figure 3, in which the centre
portion of the watch glass is deadened so that this portion (9) may serve for the
inscription of notes by means of a pencil or other suitable writing or marking
instrument.
Another modification of the invention is shewn in Figure 5. The memorandum
tablet being fixed to the dial of the clock may be so arranged that it will point
to the time at which the note on the tablet is to be observed. In Figure 4 this
arrangement is shewn in connection with a pocket watch. A narrow strip (k)
is secured at its inner extremity to the outer spindle of the hands or in anv
other convenient manner which ensures its being movable without interfering with
the action of the hands. The outer extremity of the strin (k) is enlarged and
provided with a guide pin (7) at its lower side which moves in a guide groove (m)
in the watch casing. The device may likewise be fixed so as to point at or
cover any desired time.
In cases of clocks without a protective glass the tablets (0) are suitably pro-
vided with guide pins such as (p) Figure 5, which move in a groove (9) provided
in the watch casing outside the dial.
These memorandum tablets may also be applied to cigar or cigarette cases,
pocket books, portfolios, nurses, tobacco pouches, snuff boxes, or the like, in
fact to all such articles which are customarily or frequently used. As shewn in
Figures 6 and 7 it is advisable in the case of cigar or cigarette cases, or purses
to fasten the tablets (a) at the edge of the flap in the latter case and in suitable
frames (f) in the former case.

page_text: 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 I
claim is:
Firstly, A memorandum tablet to be fixed to the pocket watch by means of a
springy hook in such a manner that the surface of the tablet to be written on
is presented outward as and for the purposes herein set forth.
Secondly, Deadening the centre portion of watch glasses for the purpose of
enabling notes to be inscribed thereon as set forth.
Thirdly, An article of everyday use such as cigar or cigarette cases, purses,
note books, portfolios, tobacco pouches and the like having a memorandum tablet
attached thereto in any convenient manner as set forth.
Fourthly, A inemorandum tablet in connection with watches or clocks having
one, preferably narrower, end movably connected with the spindle of one of the
hands the other end being provided with a guide pin or pins movable in a
suitable guide groove and enabling the tablet to be fixed on a certain desired
time as set forth.
Fifthly, A memorandum tablet in connection with watches or clocks without a
protective glass adjustable in a groove in the watch casing around the dial by
mean of guide pins as set forth.
