JOI-IN H. BAKER AND JOHN A. FRENCH, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.
CAR-TICKET HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 17, 1910.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN H. BAKER and JOHN A. FRENCH, both of the city of Toronto, Province of Ontario, Canada, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Ticket Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to car ticket holders of the type in which a number. of tickets are arranged in a metal case provided with means whereby they may be projected one by one as required, and our object is to devise a holder of this type which will be effective in operation and of the most compact and convenient possible form for carrying in the pocket or purse.
The device comprises a metal case formed in two compartments arranged side by side, each provided with a spring intended to press a series of tickets toward the top of the compartment. The upper ticket in each series is in contact with a small roller the upper surface of which extends up through the cover of the casing so that it may be rotated to project the uppermost ticket out through a slot in front of the casing.
Our invention consists essentially in certain details of construction hereinafter more specifically described and then definitely claimed.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a ticket holder constructed in accordance with our invention in its closed position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the cover thrown back. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the holder. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the cover. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the springs. Fig. 6 is a perspective detail of the front of the tray showing the front abutting tongues.
In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the dilferent figures.
A is a flat box or tray which is preferably stamped up out of a single piece of metal to form bottom a, the sides b and the partial cover c, the purpose of which will hereafter appear. The tray is divided by a partition B to form two compartments side by side.
C is a cover suitably hinged to the rear side of the tray A, as shown. This cover extends over substantially to the front of the tray. At each side of the tray is secured a pin Z which projects into slots e formed in the sliding lock D. This sliding lock consists as will be seen of a cap adapted to embrace the front of the tray and lap over the front edge of the cover C. The upper part of the sliding lock is, however, cut. away at f so that when the lock is slipped forward, as shown in Fig. 2, the cover C is released and may be swung back. When the sliding lock D is pushed back to the position shown in Fig. l the cover will be held securely closed. In the front of the sliding lock D are formed the slots g through which tickets may be projected. The front side of the tray is bent outwardly to form the lips 71. which when the box is closed project into the slots e as shown.
In each of the compartments of the ticket holder is located a spring E. This spring is stamped to form a single downwardly bent portion I at one end and two at the other. The spring will thus stand straight in the tray and present a substantially flat top to properly hold up the tickets. A slight central rib is preferably bent up for a purpose which will hereinafter appear.
A stop or abutment is provided for the rear end of each bundle of tickets by stamping out and bendin down a portion F of the partial cover c of each compartment. A front stop or abutment is also provided by stamping out a tongue Gr at the front end of each compartment of the tray A. The inner side of each tongue G is preferably roughened or corrugated to give it a grip on the front edges of the tickets. Each tongue preferably extends up slightly above the lip h and is intended to hold back all the tickets except the upper one to prevent any possibility of more than one ticket being forced out at a time. By bending up or bending down these tongues the holder may be adapted to tickets of different thicknesses. In the cover C we stamp out tongues H which are preferably bent upwardly and then downwardly, as shown in Fig. 4. The holes K which form the bearings for the ends of the spindle I of the rollers J are thus hidden from view when the box is closed, as shown in Fig. 1, and these holes may be brought down so that the spindles of the rollers are at or below the surface of the cover. We may thus have less of the roller above the surface of the cover than would be the case if ordinary stamped up lugs were employed. These rollers are preferably either of rubber or rubber coated to give them a frictional grip on the tickets. It will be noted that the rollers are so located that they come just over the ribs i so that the pressure of the springs is concentrated and a better and more certain grip given than if the pressure of the springs were more diffused. It is evident from the construction described that the tickets K will be projected one by one by simply rotating the rollers J.
The purpose of the partial cover c will be seen on reference to Fig. 2. When the cover C is thrown back the tickets, instead of being thrown out by the springs, are held between the springs and the partial cover, so that either compartment can be refilled without trouble even when the other is partially lled.
The arrangement of the ticket compartments side by side enables us to make the tray t-hin enough to be of a convenient size for carrying in the pocket or purse. It will also be found to be effective in operation and conveniently arranged for refilling.
What we claim as our invention isl. A ticket holder comprising a one-piece tray; a central partition dividing the tray into two compartments side by side; a single movable cover for both compartments; a spring in each compartment; an ejecting roller for each compartment carried by the cover; and a slidable lock cap adapted to embrace the front of the tray and movable cover and slotted for the passage of tickets.
2. A ticket holder comprising a tray; a hinged cover therefor; a sliding lock cap adapted to embrace the front of the tra-y and cover and slotted for the passage of tickets; and a spring in the tray adapted to press tickets toward a position in alinement with the slot.

4. A ticket holder comprising a tray; a
artial cover therefor; a hinged cover therefor; a sliding lock cap adapted to embrace the front of the tray and cover and slotted for the passage of tickets; and a spring in the tray adapted to press tickets toward a position in alinement with the slot.

artial cover therefor; a hinged cover thereor; a sliding lock cap adapted to embrace the front of the tray and cover and slotted for the passage of tickets; a spring in the tray adapted to press tickets toward a position in alinement with the slot; and an ejecting roller journaled in the cover.
6. A ticket holder comprising a tray having a ticket slot at its forward end; a partial fixed cover for vthe tray; a spring adapted to press tickets toward the partial cover; a movable cover; means for locking the same; an ejecting roller journaled in the cover; anda rib formed on the spring beneath the roller.
7. A ticket holder comprising a tray having a ticket slot at its forward end; a movable cover; means for holding the same in place; a spring adapted to press tickets toward the cover; and a rib formed on the spring beneath the roller.
8. -A ticket holder comprising a tray having a ticket slot at its forward end; a partial fixed cover for the tray; a spring adapted to press tickets toward the partial cover; a movable cover; means for locking the same; abutting tongues for the ends of the tickets stamped respectively from the front of the tray andthe partial cover.
9. A tray for a ticket holder stamped from a single piece of metal to form a bottom;
sides; and abutting tongues at the front side.
just within the front edge and inclined forwardly.
10. A tray for a ticket holder stamped from a single piece of metal to form a bottom; sides; abutting tongues at the front side just within the front edge and inclined forwardly; and a partial cover integral with the rear side.
ll. A tray for a ticket holder stamped from a single piece of metal to form a bottom; sides; abutting tongues at the front side just within the front edge and inclined forwardly; a rear abutting tongue stamped from said partial cover.
12. In a ticket holder a cover having two metal tongues stamped therefrom, bent up- `wardly and then downwardly to project partly into the space left by stamping them out in combination with a roller journaled in the inner parts of said tongues.
