Description
elicited Quintet E. PALMER TIFFANY, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
Letters Patent N 100,340, dated Ma/rch 1, 1870.
The Schedule-referred to in theseLettera Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, E. PALMER TIFFANY. of Hartford, in the county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Writing-Pens; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, refer-ence being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
This invention relates to that class of fountain peus which are provided wtlra receptacle for holding the ink beneath the pen itself instead of inthe holder; and consists in the combination of a spring ap of peculiar construction with the hinged Hap forming the fountain, the base of the spring being so constructed as to form the bearings for the pivots of the fountain, thus enabling these parts to be made entirely independent from the pen, to'which latter' they are attached by means ot' asingle rivet through the back, or by meansof a band, as will he fully described hereinafter'.
In the drawings- Figures 1, 2, and 3 represent different views of my improved pen with the fountain attached directly to it, and
Figures 4 and 5, views with the fountain attached to the' holder.
To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make anduse the same, I Awill now proceed to describe fully its construction and method of operation. l f A represents a pen, which may be of any proper orm.
B represents a strip of suitable metal, which is cnt in such shape as to form the end b with ears bl b and spring b2, as shown in tig.
The end b is curved to fit the inside of the pen, and the spring b2 is bent into such form as will enable it to properly perform its work.
C represents a Hap, slightly concave upon its lower surface, which is provided upon each side at its'rear end with the pins Ac c, which are inserted into corresponding orifices in the ears b1 b, when the tlap is in place. It is also provided with a slight downwardlycurving projection, c, against which the free end of the spring rests, as shown.
The strip B is secured to the pen in any proper manner. I preferably attach it to the pen near its center by means of a rivet.
For the `purpose of making these parts, however,
detachable from the pen, I employ a band, E, and
strip e,. which latter is riveted to the strip B, as shown.
The band E may either b e circular for the purpose of surrounning the round part of the holder, as at x, or semicircular for the purpose of fitting its lower part x', or it may, it' desired, be attached directly to the pen-itself, as shown in tig. 3.
Some of the advantages of my improved pen may be stated as follows:
The fduntain may' bc tixedly attached to the pen itself', and become a part of it, or it may be removably attached to it or to theholder.
When the fountain is attached to the pen, the latter may be used without it, if desired. This result is accomplished by simply turning the flap back from the point, in which position it will be securely held by the spring until designedly replaced.
By means of the hinged tlap also, the part of the pen which holds the ink is made easily accessible for the purpose of cleaning it.
The spring serves to hold the flap always in posi- Y tion, and thus securely guards against the accidental dropping of the ink, and also eflectually prevents the penfrom rattling.
By constructing the fountain apart from the pen, the latter is not liable to injury in adjusting the parts, as is often the case in some forms now in use.
I do not limit myself to the precise form shown. ,v
I do not claim broadly the combination of the hinged ilap and spring, for this feature I know is old;
but l Having thus fully described my invention,
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-
The metallic strip B, when formed in such manner l as to furnish .bearings for the pivots of flap C, and also to'furnish the spring b2, when -combined with the flap C and pen A, in the manner and for the purpose described. y
This specification signed and witnessed this 21st day of December, 1869.
E. PALMER TIFFANY.
