WILLIAM REYNOLDS of N° 514 Oxford Street in the County of Middlesex
Cutlery Manufacturer and Patentee of Horse Shoe Pads do hereby declare the
nature of my said Invention for a "COMBINATION TOOL FOR TRAVELLERS" to be
as follows:-
It consists of an instrument constructed to fold up for the convenience of being
carried in the pocket. It is made of Steel or other hard metal and contains a
Hammer, Nail drawer, Pick to remove stones from the feet of horses, a gouge for
boring holes in leather traces or Stirrups, and two or more trace Screws or nuts
such as are now commonly used in repairing a broken trace or stirrup strap
These trace screws or nuts are made to fit into the body of the instrument and
they can be taken out for use whenever required-The Gouge when not in use is
covered by a metal screw Cap for the purpose of protecting the hand while using
the Hammer The instrument has a joint in the centre by which means the Gouge
will fold up under the Hammer. The combination of the several parts herein-
before described in manner herein mentioned will produce an instrument the
subject of my invention and which I have designated my
" Combination Tool for
Travellers."
