ERNST WILLIAM ANDERSSEN, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
COMBINATION PENCIL-HOLDER AND FASTENER FOR POCKET-BOOKS, 8L0.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 649,034, dated. May 8, 1900.
Application filed May 26, 1899- Renewed March 27, 1900. fierial No, 10,406. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ERNST WILLIAM AN- DERsSEN,residing at 17 Montague street, Russell Square, London, England, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Combination Pencil-Holder and Fastener for Pocket- Books and the Like; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to an improved combination pencil-holder and fastener for pocket-books and the like, and has for its object the provision of a device for maintaining a pocket-book or the like in its closed position and for holding a pencil in conjunction therewith, such device being simple in construction, efficient in use, and inexpensive of manufacture.
The said invention is designed for the purpose of superseding the arrangements of elas tie bands and pencil-sheaths hitherto employed for fastening pocket and similar books and for holding pencils, respectively, these old arrangements possessing many disadvantages which are overcome by the aid of the present invention.
By the use of my improved pencil-holder and book-fastener a pocket-book or the like.
can be quickly opened for reference or other purposes and as speedily fastened again, while, furthermore, the operation of opening the book releases the pencil in its holder ready for use.
The improved device also obviates the risk of the pencil being lost or mislaid and allows perfect freedom for the users fingers when the pencil is being used.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the course of the following description.
In order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood and carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, whereiu Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device shown independently, Fig. 2 being a plan view showing the device in use upon a book, while Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the device detached from the book and in use as a pencil-holder.
Referring to the drawings,wherein like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures, a a represent two substantially U-shaped or other bows, which are formed bybending a strip of suitable resilient wire midway of its length into a coil 7), constituting a spring, the two ends then being brought one over the other and then bent into two curved loops (or they may be of semicircularor square form)andbrought approximately parallel with one another. The free ends of the length of wire are bent into circular form, as at e, which rings coincide one with the other and with the coil 12. By this means a resilient straddle or clip is formed, adapted to be placed upon a notebook or the like, at the back or front thereof, and to maintain itself in position by its own resiliency, the said straddle or clip effectually keeping the book closed. One of the bowsthe under one a-is somewhat larger in size than the upper bow a, so as to project beyond the forward part of same for the purpose of facilitating the placing of the device upon the book. The bows a a are covered with a protecting-sheath d, of india-rubher or similar yielding material. The coil 1) and rings 0 are of such a size and shape as to allow a pencil being inserted therein, the ac tion of the resilient coilb causing the rings 0 to separate in a vertical manner sufficiently to enable the pencil to be securely gripped between such rings 0.
When the note-book-for instance, d-is to be opened, the device is Withdrawn therefrom, whereupon the pencil 6 can be used without removing it from the coilb and rings 0, the manner of using such pencil under the circumstances being to hold the bows a a be tween the forefinger and thumb in such a manner as constitute the device a pencilholder.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. Theimproved combination pencil-holder and fastener for pocket-books and the like, consisting in two resilient bows connected to gether at one end by a coil and having at cred with a yielding protecting-sheath, all their other ends coinciding separate rings, arranged, combined, constructed and opersubstantially as described and illustrated. ating, substantially as specified and as set 2. In a combined pencil-holding and bookforth by the accompanying drawings. 5 fastening device, the two parallel bows a a, In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my I 5 one projecting forwardly beyond the other signature in presence of two Witnesses.
and being arranged one above the other, and ERNST \VILLIAM ANDERSSEN. having a resilient coil 1), constituting a spring, Witnesses: connecting them together, and a ring cat each JAMES ROBERT CURTIS,
