IMPROVEMENT IN HOLDERS FOR LEAD, CHALK, AND SIMILAR MATERIALS OR INSTRUMENTS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, OTTO BUSSLER, Jeweller, of Nürnberg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, do hereby
declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENT IN HOLDERS FOR LEAD,
CHALK, AND SIMILAR MATERIALS OR INSTRUMENTS, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to hinged sleeves or caps for protecting the point of
pencils or similar drawing material.
The cap embodying this invention and represented by figs. 1 to 3 of the annexed
drawing is provided with a specially arranged hinge-joint which permits to
exchange and secure the lead or chalk in a convenient manner.
The handle g, made of two parts, is provided at its ends with non-circular
recesses i, which serve to receive the projections o of the sleeve proper, which
serves to hold the pencil; or instead of having recesses the handle g may be
provided with projections which fit into recesses of the pencil holder, which
arrangement is sufficient to secure the cap.
For the purpose of placing the pencil, chalk, or similar drawing utensil into the
protecting sleeve, it is sufficient to increase the pressure, whereupon the elastic
handles in which is situated the adjustable hinge bolt c are bent asunder and
permit the turning of the pencil. The other end of the pencil may serve to hold
a piece of india-rubber or any other utensil.

page_text: I, OTTO BUSSLER, Jeweller of Nürnberg in the kingdom of Bavaria, 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:-
This invention relates to hinged or folding sleeves or caps for holding and
protecting the point of pencils or similar drawing material. Referring to the
drawing filed with the provisional specification Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation,
Fig. 2 a side or front elevation, Fig. 3 a cross section.
The sleeve or cap s as shown, is provided with a specially arranged hinge joint,
which permits of exchanging and securing the lead or chalk in a convenient
manner.
The handle g, which is made of two parts, is provided at its ends with oblong
recesses, which serve to receive the projections o of the sleeve proper 8, which
holds the pencil, or instead of having recesses, the handle g may be provided with
projections which fit into recesses of the pencil holder, which arrangement is
sufficient to secure the cap.
For the purpose of placing the pencil, chalk or material into the protecting
sleeve, it is sufficient to increase the pressure, whereupon the spring-handles, in
which is situated the adjustable hinge bolt c, are bent asunder and permit the
turning of the pencil sleeve. The other end of the pencil may serve to hold a piece
of india-rubber or any other material.
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
.
A folding holder for lead, chalk and other materials, consisting of the recesses i
and projections o, and a spring handle g in combination with the sleeve or holder 8,
hinged to the handle g, substantially as described and illustrated.
Dated this 16th day of October 1009.
