POCKET CASE.
APPL IOATION FILED 812F129, 1910.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE EDGAR DEAN, OF SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
POCKET-CASE.
To all whom it may concern: 7
- Be it known that I, GEORGE EDGAR DEAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Scranton, in the county of .Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pocket-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention has reference to improvements in pocket eases adapted to contain pens, pencils and various other articles, and to protect and retain the same.
It comprehends primarily the production of a case of the general class specified, which, when in place in the pocket of a vest or other garment, will be completely invisible, and will, at the same time, be held against accidental displacement, the latter object being attained through the medium of clips that are likewise wholly concealed within the pocket, thereby avoiding the unsightly appearance presented by the visible retaining devices ordinarily employed, in connection with the cases now in use.
A structural embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of the device taken from opposite sides. Figs. 3 and 4 are vertical sectional views taken at right angles to each other on the lines 33 and 44 of Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is'a plan View. Fig. 6 is a front elevation, illustrating the case in position in a pocket.
The case shown in said drawing is constructed from a blank of suitable sheet material, preferably thin metal or celluloid, the blank being stamped from the sheet by a die of the proper configuration and subsequently joined atits edges in any desired manner. The particular process or method of construction forms, however, no part of the present invention but will be made the sub-' ject of a separate application to be filed hereafter. It is sufiicient, therefore, to state that the component parts of the case are of integral construction, and are integrally connected together. The said parts comprise a front piece 7 which extends uninterruptedly across the entire case, a pair of tubular pockets'or receptacles 8 forming continuations of the ends of said front piece, and a back piece 9 arranged between said tubular portions 8 and connecting the same. The front piece has a very slight transverse curvature at its edges, and is otherwise substantially flat, so as to fit in the pocket without I Specification of Letters Patent.

occasioning an unsightly bulge therein. 7
being dependent to some extent upon the diameters of saidreceptacles, while the central receptacle l0'is shown, in the construction illustrated,'as constituting a holder for spectacles or eye glasses, a portion ofthe upper part of the front piece being cut away, as indicated by the numeral 11, to permit the glasses or other article to be readily removed. While an article of the character just specified is primarily intended to be carried in said receptacle 10, it is to be understood that no limitation to this particular article is contemplated, since the receptacle may obviously contain articles of an entirely difierent type.
In order to retain the articles in the two end receptacles the rear portions of the walls of the latter are slit longitudinally to produce spring tongues 12, the lower portions of which are bent inward so as to project into the interior of said receptacles and bear against the articles therein. Spring tongues are also employed to effect the retention of the case in a garment pocket. These springs, which are indicated by the numeral 13, are preferably constructed separately from the case and are arranged against the outer side portions of the walls of the end receptacles, to which portions they are suitably attached at their lower ends. Toward their upper ends, said springs are bent to produce outwardly projecting angular shoulders 14, the horizontal upper arms 15 of which are arranged for movement through perforations 16 formed in the walls of the end receptacles 8. Above said shoulders, the springs are formed with straight portions 17 terminating in enlarged heads 18 that project above and normally overhang the upper edges of the walls of said end receptacles. The vertical portions 17 just mentioned are disposed against the inner faces of said walls by the tension of the springs.
In order to permit the case to be completely invisible when in use, it is made of I the same or slightly less height than a vest pocket of ordinary depth. When in place therein, the shoulders 14 formed on the spring tongues 13 will move outward and will project beneath. the so-called welt of the pocket, as shown in Fig. 6, thus preventing accidental displacement of the case therefrom. It will be seen, therefore, that until the heads of the springs are pressed inward, the shoulders will remain in the posit-ion specified, and will, in consequence, preclude withdrawal of the case. The springs 12 serve to retain the articles in the end receptacles and also to prevent said articles from rattling. The bottoms of these receptacles are closed and are intended to be fluid-tight, to prevent soiling of the garment by any ink which may escape from a leaky fountain pen. The case bottom is preferably rounded, so as to prevent rapid wear upon the lining of the garment pocket.
I claim as my invention:
1. A pocket case having one of its side edges formed with an opening, and a retaining spring secured to said edge and formed with an outwardly-projecting shoulder, one arm of which extends inwardly through said opening.
rections being relative to the corresponding receptacles.
3. A substantially rigid pocket case formed with an opening, and a retaining spring secured to said case and provided with an outwardly-projecting shoulder, having a port-ion thereof extending inwardly through said opening and terminating in an operating head.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE EDGAR DEAN.
