With a view toward providing my im-- r proved picture exhibiting means I have provided a magnifying glass or lens including ,Be it known that I, THOMAS OLAN'D Tm- State of Texas, have invented certain'useful Improvements in Pencil Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. K

This invention relates to a pencil attachment and as the primary object contemplates the provision of picture exhibiting means frictionally mounted in an opening in the body thereof so that when the pencil or dther supporting body is held close to the is convex as indicated, by the numeral 4 'while the opposite face is straight andfiat as indicated by the numeral 5. A plain glass disk 6 is also provided and has disposed on the straight flatface 7 a group of means will be magnified and enlarged so photographic views, a small view or other as to be easily distinguished when looking pictures or characters. The ,flat. face 7 is through the opening, the device being parfused or otherwise made. rigid with" the ticularly adapted to serve as an advertising straight flat face 5 of thelens so that the medium oras a souvenir. peripheral edge 8 of the disk is arranged 'More particularly the present invention -flush with the outer surface of the cylindri- 4 consists of transparent photographic views or cal body 3.

In applying the, picture exhibiting means to the pencil 'body subsequent to arranging the picture exhibiting means in the manner described, it is arranged in frictional ening in the support to provide a pictureex gagement with the transverse opening '2 so hibitor therein. that the outer face 9 of the disk. and the Among the other aims and objects of this convex face 4 of the lens body are arranged invention may be recited the provision of a substa'nti-ally flush with the outer surface of device of the character described, with a the pencil body as indicated in Fig. 2. view to compactness, and in which the num- In use the pencil body 1.is held'in the hand and by looking toward the convex face 4 of the lens through the opening toward a light and by securing the proper focus the small photographic views will be enlarged.

I'n-reducing the invention to practice, it is thought that it may be readily used as an advertising medium or as a souvenir. Obviously I am not to be limited to the excharacter carrying means connected to the magnifying means, both of the means having the outer surface constructed so that the cost of-production low and the efficiency high.

Other objects, as well as the nature, characteristic features and. scope of this invention will be more readily apparent from the following description taken in connection pointed out in the claim, this specification.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective showing the im proved attachment in the body of a pencil.

Fig: 2 is an enlarged. fragmentary longipencil body showing the characters on the transparent disk. For example, in one instance, a small year calendar instead of the photographic views.

It will be understood that the above deprehend only the general and preferred emattachment therein. bodiment ofmy invention and that various Fig. 3 is a fragmentary front elevation of minor changes in-detail of construction, proportion and arrangement may be made within the sco e of the appended claim and cing any of the advantages of my invention. Y

. Havmgthus fully described my invention,

Similar characters of reference are emto indicate corresponding parts, 7 v I Referring now, more particularly to the a solid cylindrical body 3 one face of which forming a part of act group or arrangement of pictures or scription and accompanying drawings comp 100 could be applied on this transparent disk j what I claim as new and desire to secure ing, the opposite end of said lens being flat and spaced from the other end of the opening inwardly thereof, a glass disk fitting the last-named end of said opening and being vdisposed in close proximity to the flat end of said lensand presenting at this point a flat surface, and a picture secured upon the flat surface of said glass disk directly against the flat end of said lens.

In testimony whereof I aifix my slgnaturet THOMAS OLAND TIPPIT.
