SLATE-FRANIE AND PENClL-CASE..

PllGL-TICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,366, dated June 30, 1885.

Application filed March l0, 1885. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Portland, in the county of Trail and Territory of Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Slatelencil Cases; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective View of a slate to which my improved pencil-case has been attached. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view ofthe saine, taken on the line x .fr in Figl. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank from which the body oi' the pencil-case is manufactured, and Fig. et is a perspective view illustrating a moditieation in the construction of the device.

The same letters refer to the same parts in all the figures.

This invention relates to an improved penclcase adapted to be permanently attached to the frame of a slate, in order to prevent loss of the pencil; and it has for its object to provide a device oi this class which shall possess superior advantagesin point of simplicity, durability, and general efficiency.

Vith these ends in view the invention consists in the improved construction of the said pencil-ease, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A designates the frame of an ordinary slate, one of the sides of which is provided with a longitudinal notch or recess, B.

O is the pencilcase, which consists of a tube bent from a piece or strip of tin, or any other sheet metal, and the upper and lower ends of which are provided with lugs D and E. The blank F, from which the tube orcase is formed,

is provided with projections (l and e, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

The pencil-case is attached to theslatefraine by seating` it in the recess B, 'folding the lug D over the top of the slate-frame, and attaching it by means of a tack, and inserting the lug E into a slot, G, extending in au inclined direction from the shoulder H, at the lower end of the recess B, and driving` a tack through it from the edge ol" the slate-traine. The shoulder H thus forms the bottom of the pencilcase, which latter is provided at its upper end with a pivoted cover, J, of simple construction.

Vhen desired, the pencil-case may be secured to the edge of the slate-frame without recessing the latter, in which case the bottom of the pencil-case may be formed by an inturned lug at its lower end. This construetion has been shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, the operation and advantages of this invention will be readily understood. The construction is exceedingly simple and inexpensive, and the device may be easily applied to any slate-frame of ordinary construction.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of thc U nited Statesf The combination, with the slate-frame A, having recess B, slot G, and shoulder H, of the tubular pencil-case U, bent from a strip of sheet Inet-al, and having pivoted cover J and lugs D and E, all arranged and operating substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
