COMBINED RULER AND PENCIL-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,203, dated October 12, 1880.

Application filed March 18. 1880. (No model.)

' part of this specification.

This invention has reference to an improvement in rulers for schools; and it consists in the peculiar arrangement, with a sliding or extension rule, of a groove or pocket arranged to contain pencils, rubber, or other articles, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is a perspective View of the ruler, parts of which are shown as broken away so as to show the construction and arrangement more clearly. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the ruler.

In the drawings, a. represents the part of the ruler in which the pocket is located. It is provided with the dovetail b, extendingthe length of the ruler.

c is the part of the ruler provided with a groove to lit the dovetail, and both parts are provided with the scales d d, so as to form an extension-ruler, by which lengths greater than the length of the rule can be accurately measured by sliding one part past the end of the other.

e is the receptacle or groove, the ends of which, atf, are curved, as is shown in broken lines, to facilitate the removal of a pencil, pen, eraser, or other articles.

By thus separating the ruler into two parts an extension-rule is secured and a place in the interior to form the receptacle of "arious articles, which are protected against injury or loss, and can be readily reached by sliding one part of the ruler sidewise.

There are no hinged or pivoted parts, nothing liable to be deranged, the two parts are strong and simple in construction, and the receptacle is roomy enough to hold the usual drawing or writing utensils.

The part a is shown beveled along its edge on both sides, and the part c on one side only. The side or edge 0 is best adapted for a pencil, and the side or edge (t for ruling with a pen but the improved ruler may have any kind of edge desired.

Havingthus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the two-part ruler a and c, of the dovetail b and receptacle 6, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, with a two-part extension rule or ruler, of the groove or receptacle 0, provided with the ends ff, as described.

HENRY T. GUSHMAN.
