PENHOLDER SUPPORT. 7 APPLICATION FILED Aueig. i913.

HERBERT W. CRAIG, OF LAPORTE, INDIANA.
PENI-IOLDER-SUPPORT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 4, 1913. Serial No. 782,818.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT W. CRAIG, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in Laporte, county of Laporte, and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Penholder- Supports, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to penholder supports, an object of my invention being to provide certain improved features whereby the pen is supported so as to take the strain off the writers hand. To this end, I have arranged a rigid support, adjustable with relation to the pen and holder and having a resting portion adapted to be positioned back of and to one side of the pen so as to act as a support.
For a more complete understanding of my invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing in which like reference characters indicate like parts and in which,
Figure 1 shows my improved support in use; Fig. 2 shows a penholder embodying my invention, and with a portion of the pen holder broken away to show the preferred construction; and Fig. 8 illustrates another use of the device.
Referring now more particularly to the preferred embodiment of my invention, it comprises a penholder 1 which of course may be of any suitable material or construction and having a holding device 2 for a pen 3, which holding device is preferably of any of the well-known constructions in which the pen may be adjusted in different angular positions.
A support is provided comprising preferably a tubular member 4:, positioned transversely of the penholder so as to have its holding orifice 4 angularly disposed with relation to the holder 1, and provided with an adjustable supporting member 5 which is movable within the holding orifice l and adapted to be held in an adjusted position by means of a set screw 6.
In using the device for ordinary writing the member 5 is first adjusted according to the hand of the user so as to bring the resting point 5 in a plane with the point of the pen and whereby the resting point assumes a position to one side of the pen point, all as illustrated in Fig. 1. By properly adjusting the resting point with relation to pen point and the manner of holding the pen, the fingers and wrist of the writer are relieved of the strain ordinarily present. Another use for my device is in connection with line ruling, in which case the point 5 is guided by any ruler or like device and maintains the pen point clear of the ruler as shown in Fig. 3, thereby preventing blotting.
While I have shown a particular embodiment of my invention and described particular uses thereof, it will be apparent that my invention is not limited to the exact disclosure and therefore I desire to cover all such changes and modifications as come within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is 1. A device of the character described comprising a penholder, a tubular holding device extending transversely through the penholder and obliquely thereto, a ball ended rod extending through the tube, and means for adjusting the rod with relation to the pen end of the holder.
2. A device of the character described comprising a penholder, a holding device extending transversely through the penholder and having an orifice extending therethrough obliquely related to the longitudinal axis of the penholder, and a brace rod adjustably held in said orifice and having a restend adapted to be positioned so as to rest upon the writing surface behind and to one side of the pen point.
Signed by me at Chicago, county of Cook and State of Illinois, in the presence of two witnesses.
G. E. MUEILER, M. R. ROCKFORD.

I Patented May 11, 1915.
