Definitions

  • the invention solves this problem and its subject is an accessory - specifically designed as a travelling accessory - for a fountain pen, which accessory basically consists of: an ink reservoir for filling the pen; a reserve reservoir for the ink; and a container for coloring tablets for forming the ink.
  • the reserve reservoir can be leaktightly coupled onto the filling reservoir, in longitudinal alignment therewith, and communicates with said reservoir via a channel which has a very small cross section; in this way, when said reserve reservoir is open to allow the entry of air, ink can be transferred from it into the filling reservoir, whereas, when said reserve reservoir is leaktightly closed off, the ink cannot be transferred from the reserve to the filling reservoir.
  • Said reserve reservoir can be leaktightly closed off by placing the tablet container in longitudinal alignment thereon as a stopper.
  • Said channel having a very small cross section can consist of a narrow and relatively long axial hole hollowed out in the base of the reserve reservoir, which base may preferably form an axial projection which, when the reservoirs are coupled together, projects into the filling reservoir.
  • the tablet container can be used as a stopper for the reserve reservoir and can in turn be closed by a stopper in the form of a cap, which can be fitted with a flexible and absorbent extension for use in cleaning operations.
  • the filling reservoir can have a small well in its base for receiving the end of the pen and the nib; thus virtually all the ink can be taken up.
  • the reference 1 indicates a component forming the reservoir for filling the fountain pen.
  • This reservoir has a cavity 3 which forms the ink reservoir and extends into a small well 5 in its base; the transverse section and the axial depth of this well are such as to be able to receive the end of the fountain pen and the nib projecting therefrom.
  • the reservoir formed by the cavity 3, 5 can be accessed through a threaded hole 7 which enables the pen to be inserted and which can even have a thread matching that on the pen body onto which the lid protecting the nib is screwed.
  • the reference 9 indicates a second component of the accessory in question, which forms a reserve reservoir for the ink and for this purpose forms a cavity 10 which extends longitudinally inside the body of the component 9 between a threaded hole 12 provided at the top and a bottom 9A which extends from the body of the accessory 9 forming a thread 9B which can be screwed into the threaded hole 7; in addition the bottom 9A characteristically has an axial channel 14 in the form of a relatively long and relatively narrow through hole passing through the bottom 9A and which, when the components 9 and 1 are coupled together by means of the threads 7 and 9B, enables communication between the two cavities 10 and 3 for the purposes indicated below.
  • the reference 16 indicates a third component which forms a container for coloring tablets used to form the ink by dissolving them in water, especially distilled water.
  • the component 16 has a cavity 18 expressly for containing the tablets and it also has a threaded end 16B which can be screwed into the threaded hole 12 of the cavity 10 of the reserve reservoir 9.
  • the couplings between the threads 7 and 9B and between the threads 12 and 16B are leaktight couplings, with the optional interposition of suitable annular sealing elements.
  • the cavity 18 has a thread 20 which can be screwed onto the threaded end 22A of a cap stopper 22 so as to close the container 16, 18 for the coloring tablets.
  • a recess 16C in the body 16, delimited by an edge formed by the cap 22, enables an attachment clip for the assembled accessory to be fixed.
  • the cap 22 can also have an extension 24 made of absorbent material, such as compressed absorbent cotton or some other material, which is housed in a seat formed in said cap 22 and which projects out of the threaded end 22A.
  • This absorbent extension can be used to clean drops or traces of ink as and when they form on the outside of the accessory after the pen has been filled or during operations to form the ink; when the cap 22 is coupled to the body 16, the absorbent extension 24 is housed in the cavity 18.
  • the set of components 1, 9, 16 and 22 is very compact and has an elongated shape so that the accessory can even be kept in the breast pocket of a suit as well as in a travel bag or the like.
  • the thread 7 can match that on the pen cap, so that the pen can be screwed onto the part 1, 3, 5.
  • the assembled accessory can contain one batch of ink in the cavity 3, 5 to be taken up by the fountain pen which is introduced into the cavity 3, 5 through the threaded hole 7 and which is optionally screwed onto it.
  • the set can also be used to form batches of ink as and when necessary which are then contained in the cavity 10 of the reserve reservoir; the ink is prepared using pure water or rather distilled water which is introduced into the container 10 and using one or more tablets taken from the cavity 18 of the container 16, 18.
  • the ink is easily prepared by shaking or stirring the water in order to help the coloring tablet dissolve in the water.
  • the ink cannot leak out from the cavity 10 through the constricted channel 14 and into the cavity 3, 5 of the component 1; the ink can only flow when air is allowed to penetrate into the top part of the cavity 10 through the hole 12 by opening it at least partially.
  • the user can remove the part 9 at will and use only the parts 1, 16 and 22, to form a single measure of ink in 3, 5.
  • the container 9, 10 enables multiple measures to be prepared which can then be transferred into the container 3, 5 in several stages.
