(N0 model.) Patented in Germany December 1,1981%. 36,048; in linglund Decemberlfl, 1995, No. 15,603; in France June 10, 1886, No. 176,603; in Belgium June. ll, liir'fi, No. 73,451, and in Anstriadiungury October 1B, 1986, X0. J6 and No. 2,232.

To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, RALPH Senna, a subjectof the Queen ofEngland, residing at Fii rth, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany, have invc'nted new and useful Improvements in Pencil-Cases and Holders for Crayons and other Articles, (for which I have obtained patents in the following countries, namely: in Germany, No. 36,048, dated December 1, 1885; Great Britain, No. 15,663, dated December 19, 1985; France, No. 176,693, dated June 10, 1886; Belgium, No. 73,458, dated June 11, 1886, and in Anstriadiungary, No. 36 and No. 2,232, dated October 18, 1586,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of pencil-cases and holders for may ons and other articles in which the lead or other holder is contained within and protruded from an outer case or sheath.

The present improvements have for object to so construct the pencil or other case that the holder can be protruded by the simple act of jerkingthe sheath or case, and can be withdrawn within the sheath or case by striking the bottom of the latter. For this purpose I weight the holder and form it with a recess 0r groove on its periphery, the end or nozzle of the outer case or sheath being constructed to act as a spring-catch, so that when the outer case or sheath is jerked forward the holder is projected and held in the projected position by the spring-nozzle taking into the recess or groove in the holder. To withdraw or sheaths the holder, it is merely necessary to strike the bottom of the pencil-case, when the weight of the holder will overcome the spring-catch and the holder will fall by gravity into the sheath or outer case.

In order to enable my invention to be fully understood, I will proceed to describe the same by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of a pencil-ease constructed according to my-invcntion, the pencil-case being closed-tha t is to say, thelendholder being within the outer heath or case. Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. l, but showing the lead-holder (which is represented in elevation) protruded.

Similar letters in both the figures represent similar parts.

E is the weighted lead'holder, and f 15 the recess or groove on the periphery of the same.

G is the outer case or sheath, and It represents the end or nozzle of the case or sheath G, which end is turned'inward, and is formed with a number of slits, a, so as to act as a springeatch, which enters the recess or groove f in the lead-holder B when the latter is protruded, as shown in Fig. 2. r

In order to prevent the lead-holder E from falling out of the case G by reason of its weight when the latter is held with its nozzle 71. downward, I provide the end of the lead-holder E with a number of spring-tongues, 'i i, the ends of which are compressed in passing through aeontracted part, I), of the cap 0, and again expand when they have passed the said cont-racted part. The lead A can be held and operated in the holder E in any suitable manner.

By this construction, the parts of the pencilcase being in the position shown in Fig. 1, in

order to protrude the pencil from the case it is only necessary to sharply jerk the case and tlie'weightcd holder IE will be protruded from the nozzle h, the impetus of its motion causing it to overcome theprcssureof the spring-nozzle, until its reccss'f is caught by the catch thereof, and the holder 15 will be held firmly in the position shown iirFig. 2. To withdraw or'sheathe the holder 1), it is only necessary to hold the pencil-case with its point upward and to strike the end of the cap 0 against a table or other article, when the weight of the holder will overcome the spring-catch h and the holder it will fall by gravity iilto the sheath in what manner the same is to be performed,

I declare that what I claim is- 1. In apencil-case or holder for crayons and other articles, the combination of an outer case or sheath,having its end slitted to act as a too spring-catch, with a weighted holder sliding I case or st oath and provided with a groove or re therein provided with a groove or recess in recess on its periphery, and with a number of its periphery, substantially as andfor the purspring-toagues adapted to engage with the porpose hereinbcfore described and shown. tion 2:, siibstantialiy as and for the purposes 2.
