PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Ticket Pocket or Case.
I, KARL LEVERKUS, of 21 Langestrasse, Gohlis, Leipsic in the Empire of
Germany, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
--
This invention consists in a new or improved ticket pocket which is intended
for securely holding a ticket or several tickets, such pocket being so arranged,
that the said ticket or tickets can be easily put in or extracted when wanted.
The ticket pocket is made of a stiff material, such as wood, horn, tortoise-shell,
celluloid, sheet of iron, steel or other metal etc. so as to protect the ticket or
tickets against bending or crushing.
The pocket is provided with a turnable cover and a spring, in a similar manner
as a pocket knife is provided with turnable blades and springs. The cover fits
tightly into the pocket and is thus protected against catching some object, whereby
it would be opened. The front edge of the pocket at the cover is so cut out, that
the finger can get under the cover and open it. The spring employed serves to
keep the cover either in the open or in the closed position. When the cover is
opened, the ticket or tickets can be at once put into the pocket, whereupon the
cover is turned round its pin and closes in the tickets. In the front of the pocket
is an oval or a lengthy hole, through which the finger can get to the tickets. This
hole is about in the centre and near the cut in the front edge. In order to extract
the tickets, the finger first gets under the cover and opens it, then it touches the
tickets through the hole in the centre and pulls them along, as far as the hole
allows, and after a slight turn the finger catches the tickets through the cut at the
the pocket.
edge and finally drank them out of edith suitable holes for the purpose of
sewing or rivetting it to some wearing apparel, such as a coat or vest, or to a
portmanteau or other object, so as to be always able to find the tickets at the
known place without any fear of mislaying them.
A New or Improved Ticket Pocket or Case.
I, KARL LEVERKUS, late of 21 Langestrasse and now of 40 Blumenstrasse,
Gohlis, Leipsic in the Empire of Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described aud ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists in a new or improved ticket pocket or case which is
intended for securely holding a ticket or several tickets, such pocket being so
arranged, that the said ticket or tickets can be easily put in or extracted when
wanted. The pocket is provided round its edges with suitable holes for the
purpose of sewing or rivetting it to some wearing apparel, such as a coat or rest,
or to a portmanteau or other object, so as to be always able to find the tickets at

of a stiff material, such as wood, horn, tortoise-shell, celluloid, sheet of iron, steel or
other metal etc., so as to protect the ticket or tickets against bending or crushing.
In order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect will describe the accompanying two sheets of drawings, reference being
had to the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figs. 1 to 7 show a ticket pocket or case rivetted to some wearing apparel or
other object, Fig. 1 being a front view, Fig. 2 a side elevation, Fig. 3 a vertical
section taken in the plane of the line - in Fig. 1, Fig. 4 a back view, Fig. 5 a
top view, Fig. 6 a cross section on the line wa in Fig. 1, and Fig. 7 a vertical
sectional view on the line y- in Fig. 2.
The pocket consists in the back plate A, the front plate B, the border
pieces CD E, the cover F and the spring H. These parts are united by the
rivets II, see Fig. 3. The cover F is made turnable on the pin G and the spring H
is employed to keep the cover F either in the open (Fig. 7) or in the closed
position (Fig. 1). The cover F is arranged to fit tightly into the pocket (Fig. 1),
so that it is protected against catching some object, whereby it would otherwise be
opened.
The spring H is fully shown in Fig. 7 as a front view, the side faces being
rectangular to the plane of the drawing. The one side view of the spring H is
quite the same as that of the border piece C in Fig. 2. The spring H is inserted
in the recess between the border pieces D and E and is there held by the two
rivets 1 I. It acts quite in the same manner as a spring in a common pocket
knife.
In the front plate B about in its centre is an oval or a lengthy hole K, through
which the finger can get to the tickets. At the cover F the front plate B is so cut
out, that the finger can get under the cover F and open it. The curved cut L
comes so near to the hole K, that the finger is able to touch the ticket both in the
hole K and in the hole L.
The pocket or case is provided round its edges with rivet holes M M for the purpose
of fastening it to the piece O of the wearing apparel or other object. The pocket
is placed on, the one side of the piece O and a suitable frame P (Fig. 4) on the
other side, whereupon rivets N N are put through the holes M M and then
rivetted.
The cover F can be easily opened by the finger, to put the ticket or tickets into
the pocket, and afterwards the cover F is again closed. When the tickets are
wanted, the finger first gets under the cover F and opens it, then it touches the
ticket through the hole K and pulls the same along, as far as the hole allows, and
after a slight turn the finger touches or catches the ticket through the curved
cut Land finally draws it out of the pocket.
The pocket or case described is assumed to be made of aluminium or similar
materials. When it is to be made of horn or similar stuffs, the plates A and B
will require to be strengthened by sheets of metal, i.e. made double in a similar
manner as the baft plates of a pocket knife, and as is indicated by Fig. 8. If the
pocket is made of celluloid, metal etc., the border pieces C D E may be made in
one piece with either the front plate B or the back plate A, or with both plates.
If the pocket is made of tin, metal sheets etc., the front and back plates B A may
be stamped and folded together round the edges, while the cover F is linked and
the spring H is fastened to a suitable piece (similar to E) and then all the three
parts are inserted in the pocket and there fixed. The frame P may be replaced
by several single strips. The rivets 1 I and N N may have either common heads
or countersunk heads, as the case may be.
Figs. 9 to 15 show a ticket pocket or case arranged for sewing on some wearing
apparel or other object, Fig. 9 being a front view, Fig. 10 a side elevation, Fig. 11
a vertical section on the line u- in Fig. 9, Fig. 12 a top view, Fig. 13. a cross
section on the line w-r in Fig. 9, Fig. 14 a cross section on the line -t in Fig. 9,
and Fig. 15 a vertical sectional view taken in the plane of the line y-z in Fig. 11.

page_text: The pocket is assumed to be made of aluminium or similar materials and resembles
very much the pocket shown in Figs. 1 to 7. In order to protect the thread used
for securing the pocket to the clothing piece or other object against wearing off,
the pocket is provided with recesses R R in a similar manner as a button of the
breeches. The holes QQ (in pairs) shown are those, through which the thread
is drawn. The construction of this pocket may be equally altered as explained
above, so as to suit the materials, of which the pocket is to be made.
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 :-
1. In a ticket pocket or case the combination with a back wall A, of a front
wall B having a lengthy hole K about in the centre and a curved cut L at the
edge for the purpose of enabling the finger to reach the ticket and to draw it out,
substantially as set forth.
2. In a ticket pocket or case the combination with the pocket walls A B, of a
turnable cover F and a spring H for the purpose of closing in the tickets and
releasing the same when wanted, substantially as set forth.
3. In a ticket pocket or case the arrangement, use and application of holes M, Q
round the edges of the pocket for the purpose of fastening the pocket to the wearing
apparel or other object, substantially as set forth.
4. In a ticket pocket or case the use and application of recesses R at the sewing
holes for the purpose of protecting the thread against wearing off, substantially
as set forth.
