ERXST PAPE, OF PORTLAND, OREGON.

PENCIL-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 557,599, dated April 7, 1896.

Application filed May 20, 1895. Serial No. 550,018. (No model.)

To all whont it nmy concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNST PAPE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, county of Multnomah, State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful (Noiseless) Pencil- Case, of which the following is a specification.

The objects of the construction of this case are to hold in place each piece of writing or drawing material contained therein in order to prevent the usual noise and breaking of these materials by their continuous contact; further, when fitted out with an ink vase or bottle, to prevent its incidental opening, and to improve the usual construction of these cases for the sake of durability by a more compact construction. I attain these objects by constructing said case in form and manner illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which said pencil-case--an oblong case with drawer in wedge form provided with grooves in size adapted to writing and drawing materials-is drawn standing on the end to which said drawer is fastened by the pin upon which it revolves and with drawer open.

A is the incasement; B, the inner part or drawer; a, a bolster fastened underneath the top board of the incasement A; b, the grooves for the writing, 850., materials; 0, a spring for holding the drawer 13 within the incasement A; d, a pin upon which drawer B revolves.

The incasement is well joined and closed on all sides except on the side as the opening for the drawer. Underneath its top board is fastened the bolster a in wedge form, the thinner part toward the front, the thicker part toward the back part of incasement A. The inner part or drawer B is also in wedge form, provided with grooves 19 as layers for writing and drawing materials, and with a spring 0 for holding drawer B fast within the incasement A, and it is revolving when opened or closed on pin d, the latter being fastened in the incasement A. The wedge form of the drawer B fitting to the wedge-formed bolster a within the incasement A, is bringing about a tight and secure resting of the materials within the grooves 12 when drawer B is slightly pressed within incasement A, the spring a then falling into a catcher fastened underneath the top board of incasement A, and thus fastening drawer B within the incasement A, the slanting cut e on the upper part of drawer B also contributing to a solid and compact inclosing of drawer B within incasement A.

hat I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a pencil-case the combination of an incasement A provided with a bolster in wedge form a and a pin d, and revolving on the latter the wedge-formed drawer B provided with grooves b for writing &c. materials, and a spring 0 to hold in place tightly the materials in grooves 19 of drawer B when slightly pressed within incasement A and fastened therein by spring 0; substantially as herein described.
