AM. PHOTO-LITHOGRAPH/C c0. MK (assay/v53 PRacEss) UNITED STATES PATENT. OFFICE.
ROBERT M. AUSTIN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT lN COMBINED RULERS AND BLOTTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,989, dated July 22, 1873 ap tion filed May 29, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, ROBERT M. AUSTIN, of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a Combined Ruler and Blotter, of which the following is a specification:
My invention consists in the construction of a ruler or straight-edge of wood, metal, or any material answering such purpose, and so forming it that it may be secured easily to a sheet of blotting-paper, such as is usually employed for absorbing ink from a written surace.
Figure 1 shows, the ruler A secured to the blotting-paper B. Fig. 2 is a plan of the ruler. Fig. 3 is a cross-section through the ruler. Fig.4 is a cross-section through the ruler and blotting-paper when secured together.
The ruler 'A is formed of sheet-brass bent into a triangular form, as shown in Fig. 3. Theft; is a short side, a, on a bevel, suitable for ruling lines with a pencil or ink, as is common with wooden rulers. If this said edge is made hard and with sharp corners it can also be used as a cutter, against which checks may be torn from a check-book. The two long sides a and a are bent so as to nearly touch each other, leaving a narrow slit, into which the edgeof a sheet of blotting-paper is inserted and drawn through the ruler, which adheres firmly to it by the pressure of the elastic sides a and a? upon the soft and yielding blotter. The ruler can be marked to a scale of feet and inches, if desirable, as shown in Fig. 2.
By this invention I combine in one article a blotter,-suitable for absorbing ink from writing, and a hard straight-edge, which can be used as a ruler or a cutter, against which checks are torn from check-books.
I claim- The ruler A, forrned with spring-clips a a, combined with a sheet of blotting-paper, B, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
BOBT. M. AUSTIN.
