Improvements in the Arrangement or Construction of Penholders to
enable Printed Matter to be Carried Inside the Penholder.
I, JAMES OTWAY of Bella Vista Waterford Ireland S., Civil Engineer, 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 :-
My invention relates to the arrangement or construction of penholders to enable
printed matter to be carried inside the penholder.
According to my invention I propose to construct the penholder of wood, metal
hardened india-rubber or of any suitable material, with the centre hollow the top
being made into a cap also hollow. Inside I propose to place a roller made of
wood, metal, hardened india-rubber or of any other suitable material, to which
roller shall be attached leaves of printed matter. These leaves can be rolled round
the roller, and when thus rolled up the whole will be placed inside the penholder
and the cap placed on.
In order to make use of the printed matter the cap will be taken off the pen--
holder the roller withdrawn from the peuholder and the leaves unrolled when the
information contained in the printed matter will be at the disposal of the person
using the penholder. When the desired information is obtained, the leaves can
be again rolled round the roller and the whole reinserted in the penholder and the
cap put on.
In order that my invention may be properly understood, I now proceed more
particularly to set forth the system mode or manner, in or under which the same
is or may be used or practically carried into effect, reference being had to the
accompanying drawing, and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is
to say:
The accompanying drawing represents the arrangement or construction of pen--
holders according to my invention:-
Fig. No. 1. shows an elevation of penholder with cap (a) on ready to take the
barrel or whatever attachment may be desired at (c) for holding the nib.
Fig. No. 2 shows a longitudinal section of the penholder with cap (a) on, but.
without the roller carrying the leaves of printed matter (d) being inside the
penholder.
Fig. No. 3. shows the roller with leaves of printed matter (d) attached, opened
out ready for use, it having been removed from the penholder.
Fig. No. 4. shows section of roller with leaves of printed matter (d) rolled
round roller, and ready for insertion in cylinder (6) of penholder.
Fig. No. 5 shows elevation of roller without leaves of printed matter (d) but.
showing slit (e) into which said leaves are to be secured.
Fig. No. 6 shows section of roller without leaves of printed matter (d) but
showing slit (e) into which leaves are to be fastened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tiou, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) The insertion of printed matter in penholders, so that it may be easily
withdrawn and utilized, the penholder being still left available for writing:
purposes.

page_text: (2.) The arrangement or construction of roller of wood, metal, hardened india-
rubber or any other suitable material to which leaves containing printed matter are
secured, whereby the leaves can be easily withdrawn from penholder when desired,
and unrolled for purpose of consultation and reinserted when done with.
