Year: 1884

page_text: I, JAMES HICKISSON trading as John Bond, of the Crystal Palace Marking Ink
Works, Southgate Road Hackney, in the County of Middlesex, Marking Ink
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN PENCILS AND LIKE ARTICLES, to be as follows :-
:-
My Invention relates to improvements in pencils and like articles, and it consists
of an apparatus or contrivance which is affixed thereto, and which is destined to
carry postage and revenue stamps, sticking plaister, gold beaters skin, perfumed or
disinfecting paper or ribbon, cigarette paper adhesive material, and the like.
For the purpose of my invention I affix to the top of the pencil, or like article, a
ferrule or collar provided with a spindle or rod terminating in a short tube. This
spindle or rod is slotted, and into this slot one end of the band or strip of postage
stamps, or other article to be carried, is inserted, and the free end is then wound
round the same; the article so wound is protected from injury by means of a sliding
sheath or shield which is limited in its travel by abutting against the bottom of the
short tube or holder above mentioned.
This short tube or holder carries a stick or block of solid and soluble gum, glue,
or other like adhesive material, and this holder is furnished with a cap or cover for
protecting the adhesive material when the same is not required for use. .

page_text: .I, JAMES HICKISSON, trading as John Bond, of the Crystal Palace Marking Ink
Works, Southgate Road, Hackney in the County of Middlesex, Marking Ink
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN PENCILS AND LIKE ARTICLES, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement
thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and
figures marked thereon, that is to say:-
My Invention relates to improvements in pencils and like articles, and it consists
of an apparatus, contrivance or attachment which is affixed thereto, and which
attachment or contrivance is destined to carry postage and revenue stamps, sticking-
plaister, gold-beaters' skin, perfumed or disinfecting paper or ribbon, cigarette
paper, adhesive material, and the like.
I now proceed with reference to the accompanying drawings to fully describe
my invention.
The figures shew the pencil with its contrivance or attachment in perspective
views.
For the purpose of my invention, I affix to the top of the pencil A, or like article,
a metal ferrule or collar a, provided with a spindle or rod b, terminating in a short
tube, cup or holder c. This spindle or rod b, is provided with a slot e, into which
one end of the band or strip of postage stamps Z, or other like article, to be carrie},
is inserted. The free end of the band or strip is then wound round the said
spindle or rod b. The article so wound is protected from injury by means of a
sliding sheath or shield f, which is limited in its travel by abutting against
shoulder g, on the outside of the cup or holder c. In fig. 2, the sheath or shield f
is shewn drawn down, thereby exposing the stamps to view and permitting of their
detachment as required.
aL
The short tube, cup or holder c, carries a stick or block of solid and soluble gum,
glue, or other like adhesive material Z*, as seen in fig. 2, or it may carry a solid
marking-ink pencil, or pencil for the eyebrows, or any other suitable article.
A cap or cover h, is provided for protecting the inserted material, when the same
is not required for use.
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:
The contrivance or attachment for pencils, and like articles, the same consisting
of a ferrule or collar carrying a slotted spindle terminating in a cup or holder, and
provided with a sliding sheath or shield, substantially as described and shewn, and
for the purposes set forth.
