HANDSTAIVIP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersvPatent No. 334.008, dated January 12, 1886.

Application filed September '22, i884. Serial No. 143,624. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, VIcToR H. EMERSON, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Im provement in Hand-Stamps, of which the following is a specication.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved handstainp, which maybe conveniently carried in the pocket like an ordinary lead-penoil, and which may at the same time serve as a pencil-holder. J

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved hand-stamp Figs. 2,3, and 4, enlarged cross-sections with the pencil omitted, and showingthe stamp in different positions.

Similarletters refer to similarparts throughout the several Views.

A is a cylindrical or prismatical metal case, the upper end of which is open, while at the lower end one half is cutaway. The remaining half,E,is closed at its end. j is the inkingpad inserted into the lower end, E.

B is a socket to receive the pencil G.

C is aslide moving within the outer case, A.

D is a type-casing, having an arm, m, projecting from the top and having the type n. Its form is suoli that when the type rest upon the pad j, as shown in Fig. 2, it forms the complement of the lower end, E, of the tube A. rIhe type-case D is hinged to the slide C by means of the pin g, and the outer end of the arm m is connected with the 'socket B by means of the rod f, secured to the bottom of the socket B, and pivoted to the arm m by means of pin i. y

h is a spring interposed between lthe lower end ofthe socket B and the top of slide C.

d is a stronger spring, abutting against the slide C beneath. the top, and held at the bottom by pins c, inserted through the outer casing, A.

When the socket Bis depressed from the position shown in Fig. 2, the weaker spring, h,yields,and the rod f,acting upon the arm m,

raises the type-case D to the position shown in Fig. 3. By further depressing the socket B through the agency of the pencil G the spring d is compressed and the type-casing D nall y brought into the position shown in Fig. 4, so that an impression can be made upon the paper.

In practice the lower end, E, of the case A is placed upon the paper, and the pencil rapidly depressed, so that the stamp D will make an impression from type it upon the paper. When the socket or rod B is released, the apparatus again assumes the position as shown -in Fig. 2 through the action of the springs h and d. When the parts are in this position, the type n is .pressed against the ink-pad j, and the device can readily be carried in the pocket like an ordinary leadpencil, no parts projecting laterally.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the tubular shell A, one half of the lower end of which is cut away, while the remaining half, E, is provided with an inkpad, j, a slide, O, arranged within the case A and held by the spring d, a typecase, D, pivoted to the slide C, a socket, B, spring h between the bottom of the socket B and the top of the slide O, and parts, substantially as described, connecting the socket B with the pivoted typecase D.

2. The combination of the tubular case A, ink-pad j, inserted into the lower end, E, of the same, slideC, spring d, pins c, type-case D, pivoted to the slide C, socket B, .spring h, and rodf, secured to the socket B and pivoted to the arm in of the type-casing D,constructed and operated substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name,in presence of two witnesses, this 17th day of September, 1884.

VICTOR H. EMERSON. Witnesses:

A. FABER DU FAUR, G. E. EMERSON.
