Pen or Pencil or like Holders.
I, JOHN WILLIAM SHRIMPTON of Unicorn Works, Redditch, in the county of
Worcester, Needle Pin & Crochet Hook Manufacturer 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 :-
Sheet 1 of the drawings was filed with the provisional specification; and sheet 2 is
an additional sheet filed with the complete specification.
Fig. 1 I take a piece of metal suitably shaped at one end D, to contain a crochet
hook C, and the other end B, made to receive a pen, the whole fitting into an outer
case E.
Fig. 2. Or I take an outer case A, and into it I fit a handle containing a crochet
hook C, at the other end of the case I put a penholder with a pen in it B. When
the Crochet Hook C is not in use it is in the position shewn in the drawing, when
required for use it is reversed, the pen and holder B are shown ready for use, when
not required they are reversed.
Fig. 3 shows a Crochet Hook C, and a pencil B, in an outer case A, both B and C
are reversible.
Fig. 4 shows a crochet hook D, and a holder B containing needles or pins at C,
both being in an outer case A, B and D are reversible.
Fig 5. A. D. B. is a piece of metal so shaped as to contain a Crochet Hook Cat
one end, and pins or needles at the other end, and fitting into an outer case E.
Fig. 6. A is a piece of flat steel tapered at each end, on each side of this piece of
steel I fix by means of a pivot a crochet hook so that there are two at B, and two
at C. I then take a shell handle D and into it I push the piece of steel carrying the
four hooks, and one of such hooks passes through the point or smaller end of the
shell handle, I then put a cap E on the bottom end of the case D, and the piece of
steel A acts as a spring, pressing against the sides of D and the interior of E. I do
not bind myself to the use of four hooks, but may use fewer if desirable.
Fig. 7. A is a shell handle having two holes pierced in it at B and C. I take a
Crochet Hook having an eye at one end D and a mount with the size of such hook
embossed upon it, this mount has two flanges, and one of the said flanges is pierced.
I take a rivet and pass it through the hole in the handle the eye in the crochet hook
and the flange of the mount and the said rivet comes out on the other side of the
shell handle and fastens the crochet hook, the mount and the handle firmly together.
Fig. 8. A is a metal handle at B I insert a metal cup into A I drop pins or needles
and keep them in by a cap piece at C. D is a reversible penholder.
Instead of the metal cup at B another case may be inserted from E to .B.

tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The combination of a pen or pencil with a crochet hook in the same case
or holder.
2. The combination of a pen or pencil with pins or needles in the same case or
holder.
3. The combination of a Crochet Hook with pins or needles in the same case or
holder.
4. The mode of construction in figure 6.
