1E ST1 ATENI F C INK-WELL.

T o all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, VILLIAM H. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing'at Artesia, county of Eddy, and Territory of New Mexico, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ink-VVells, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to ink Wells.

Y The present invention has for its object the provision of a simple, inexpensive, neat, strong, and durable holder for ordinary ink bottles or wells which is adapted for quick and easy attachment to any style of school or other desk or table and which will prevent the ink from spilling or the ink 'well or holder from becoming loosened.

The invention embodies a novel holder, part of which is adapted to be attached to the desk or table and the other part to removably carry or hold the in k well or bottle and which is adapted for attachment to the part on the desk or table, as will appear more fully hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a front perspective view showing the invention in position on a school desk; Fig. 2, a vertical section of the same; and Fig. 3, a detail perspective of the carrier and ink bottle detached.

A part of an ordinary school desk is shown at l, as provided with an opening 2 which receives a screw-threaded sleeve 3 having a flange t adapted to overlap t-he desk and provided with a suitable pivoted cover 5.

The holder or carrier 6 may be of sheet or cast metal and is preferably of open box-like form having a screw-threaded collar 7 adapted to be screwed into the sleeve 3 and to receive the neck or mouth 8 of the ink well or bottle 9 which latter may be any ordinary commercial ink bottle. The ink bottle is Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led March 15, 1911.

Patented Aug. 22, 1911.

Serial No. 614,748.

supported and held in tightly clamped position by a follower l() on a screw-threaded stem 11 which engages a screw-threaded part l2 of the holder and is provided with a suitablethumb-piece or head by which it may be turned.

The complete carrier or holder can be unscrewed from the sleeve 3 and, with the ink bottle, removed from the desk then taken out by unscrewing the follower. Another inkbottle may then be substituted and the carrier and ink bottle screwed into the sleeve 3. The clamping action caused by screwing the collar into the sleeve holds the flange of the sleeve on the desk or table.

I wish it understood that various modiiications could be resorted to in carrying out the invention, that it is adapted to hold any kind of an ink well or bottle, and that a different form of connection between the ink carrier and the sleeve could be employed, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In an ink well, the combination with a desk or table, of an ink bot-tle carrier having a collar adapted to receive the neck of an ink bottle, a releasable clamp for holding the ink bottle on the carrier with its neck in the collar, said carrier and ink bottle being adapted to be moved as a unit, and a screw sleeve for detachably securing the ink bottle carrier to the desk or table.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aihx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
