COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Pencil and Holder therefor.
I, FREDERIC CHARLES SUTCLIFFE, of Tyne Theatre, Newcastle-on-Tyne,
Theatrical Manager, do hereby 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:-
This invention relates to an improved combined pencil and holder which
latter also serves as a point protector.
The said pencil and holder when fitted together in their closed position are
made to resemble a gold-tipped cigarette, the protruding end of the pencil being
covered with or encased in gold leaf or gilt paper, and the holder being formed
of a tube of white cardboard or stiff paper.
The rear end of the said tube is closed by a small block, or plug of wood,
compressed sawdust, or any suitable light composition, a similar block or plug
being also fixed to the outer end of the pencil, and enclosed in the gold leaf or
gilt paper covering representing the mouthpiece of the cigarette.
When using the pencil the rear end of the same is reversed and fixed into
the open end of the tubular holder, thus increasing the length of the pencil to
facilitate holding the same when in use.
The combined pencil and holder may also form a suitable medium for advertis-
ing, the advertisements being printed or otherwise marked on the outer surface
of the tube or holder.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrating my invention Fig. 1
shows the pencil and holder in their closed position representing a cigarette,
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same, Fig. 3 shows the pencil reversed
and fitted to the holder ready for use, and Fig. 4 is a view of the pencil detached.
a is the tubular holder, the outer surface of. which may be marked or printed
with advertisements and b is the pencil made to fit into the open end of the holder
either in the closed position shown in Fig. 2 or in the reverse position as shewn
in Fig. 3 ready for use.
The rear end of the holder a is closed by the wood or composition block or
plug c and d is a similar block fixed to the rear end of the pencil and encased in
or surrounded by the gold-leaf or gilt paper tube e as will be seen from Fig. 2
the holder a forms a protector for the point of the pencil and enables the same
being conveniently held in a waistcoat pocket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
(1) The improved combined pencil and holder comprising a cardboard or stiff
paper tube closed at one end by a block or plug, and a pencil provided with a
similar block or plug, at its end covered with gold-leaf or gilt paper and fitting
into the open end of the tube so as to represent a gold-tipped cigarette when the
pencil is enclosed in the tube substantially as described.
