I ERNST MÖGEL of N° 8 Baum Strasse in the City of Dresden, Saxony,
Germany, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN HOLDERS FOR TICKETS AND OTHER SIMILAR OBJECTS and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in holders for tickets and other similar
objects the object of which is to provide a handy holder for such said articles
and thus prevent the loss or mislaying of the same which is in so many cases
the cause of great inconvenience and joften expense. My said improved ticket
holder can be readily applied to various objects in daily use such as umbrellas,
walking sticks, watch chains, bracelets and other articles-My said invention
consists chiefly of two plates a a¹ 6, 7, 8 connected by a suitable hinge or joint c
the one surface of one of the said plates being provided with ribs, teeth or pins 8
whilst the corresponding surface of the second plate is provided with corresponding
recesses, borings, openings or recessed studs p.
'
The spring action of the hinge or joint c will cause the pins or teeth 8 to perforate
the ticket and hold the same firmly in the said holder. The two said plates a a
are held in closed position by means of the nose n of the catch or rod 6 which
passes through an opening of the plate a against the end of which the spring g
presses. If pressure is exerted on the knob d and the power of the spring g over-
come the nose n will be released and the upper plate a¹ caused to spring open by
the spring wound around the hinge c.
As represented in Fig. 1 and the ticket holder is arranged in the interior of
the handle of a stick.
The pins or pointed pegs 8 which hold the ticket in the slot b are attached to the
spring plate f. The said pins are released from the ticket by drawing up the
plate by pulling out the knob c or by turning the handle d provided with a suit-
able cam or tappet whereby the plate e which operates on the plate f. is raised-
As represented in Fig. 3 the ticket holder is so constructed that the pin 8 for
holding the tickets contains a recess for receiving the nose of the plate f.
The Fig. 1 represents a vertical Fig. 6 a horizontal arrangement of a ticket
holder in the handle of a stick or umbrella which if hollow can be employed as
reservoir or receptacle for various objects. In such case the one of the edges is
provided with suitable pins points or teeth which gear into corresponding holes or

page_text: recesses of the corresponding other edge so that when the said holder is closed the
ticket is perforated and held perfectly fast by the said edges of the ticket holder-
- According to the modifications as shown in Fig. 6, 7, 8 the ticket holder is attached
to a walking stick or umbrella handle by means of two strips of metal which are
rivetted to the plate a, pass through a slot in the stick or handle and are then bent
one to the left and one to the right so as to embrace the said stick or handle in the
form of a ring.
Fig. 4 represents a ticket holder with the mechanism arranged in the handle of
a stick or umbrella-If the nose n of the pin a which is pressed upwards by the
spring is released the needle pin or stem b will be pressed back by the spring g
and the slot c given free so that the ticket can be inserted in the said slot -If
the knob d of the pin b is now pressed in, the nose n will gear with the upper part
of the holder, the ticket will be perforated by the pin b and thus securely held in
the slot c.
A similar arrangement is represented in Fig. 5 in which the two plates are not
connected by means of a hinge as described above but the one plate pl attached to
the stick or umbrella handle by means of a hollow rod in which the rod e of the
plate p is movably located-If the plate p is pressed towards the plate p¹ the
spring g will be compressed and will be retained in position by means of the nose n
of the stem or rod a attached to the loose plate p.
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:-
A ticket holder composed of two plates shells or cases provided on the inner
surface with ribs, pins, pegs or teeth which said plates, shells or cases are either
provided with spring action themselves or with a suitable spring and can be
attached to various objects for the purpose of receiving or holding tickets, cards
and other objects; characterised by,
a) the plates connected by a spring joint and held together by a catch device
composed of the rod b nose n, spring g and knob a (Fig. 5, 6, 7, 8).
3
b) the plate enclosed or inserted in the object in question and which can be
raised by the knob c or by the plate e and the cam or tappet d the ticket
being inserted in the slot b (Fig. 1 and 2.
c) the pin or peg 8 which simultaneously serves to perforate the ticket or other
similar object and to firmly hold the same by means of the flexible nose ƒ 3
which catches in a recess of the said pin or peg 8 (Fig. 3).
d) the arrangement of the pin or stem 6 in the handle of the stick or umbrella
which is held in position by the rod a with nose n and spring g and the
slot c for the reception of the ticket (Fig. 4).
e) the plate p¹ which is held by means of a hollow rod in which the guide pin c, 4
spring 9 and the stop motion for the loose plate.p composed of the rod a
with nose n are arranged all substantially as set forth in the foregoing
specification and shown in the accompanying drawings.
