.ture and highly' efcient ANTON I BATOR, OF NORTHAMPTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
ENVELOP-MOISTENIN G DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 23, 1912.
Application jled April 6, 1912. Serial No. 688,888.
To all 'whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, ANTONI BA'roR, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Northampton, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Envelop-Moistening Devices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to an envelop moistening device, and the objects of my invention are to provide a simple and inexpensive device for moistening the gummed flap of an envelop and to provide a device of the above type that can be readily carried in the pocket without danger of the pocket being soiled.
Further objects of my invention are to provide a device of the above type constructed somewhat upon the principle of a fountain pen, and to accomplish the above results by a mechanical construction that is simple, durable, inexpensive to manufacfor the purposes for whichit is intended.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.
- Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein Figure l is a side elevation of the device, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view 'of the same, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal transverse sectional view of the same, and Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the device.
An envelop moistening device in accordance with this invention comprises a hollow cylindrical or tubular body 1 having a closed rounded end 2. Fitted in the open end of the body 1 is the reduced end 3.of a double frusto-conical shaped head 4, said head having a longitudinal bore 5 formed therein with the outer end of the bore flared, as at 6. The inner reduced end 3 of the head 4 terminates in an exteriorly threaded sleeve 7 that longitudinally alines with the bore 5, said sleeve having a valve seat 8. Screwed upon the sleeve 7 is the cylindrical end 9 of a yoke 10, said yoke havlng a central opening 11.
Movably mounted in the opening 11 of the yoke 10 is a valve rod 12 having a valve 13 adapted to engage the seat 8. Encircling the rod 12, between the valve 13 and the yoke 10, isa coiled compression spring 14 that retains the valve 13 normally seated. The outer end of the valve rod 12 is bent upon itself to form a loop 15 that is located within the flared end 6 of the bore 5.' The looped portion of the valve rod l2 is of a greater diameter than the remainder of the rod, as best shown in Fig. 3, thereby providing a larger surface upon which water or other Huid can accumulate when pressure is brought to bear upon the loop to open the valve 13 and allow a portion of the contents of the body 1 to flow down the rod 12 on to the loop 15. By moving the loop 15 over the gummcd flap of an envelop, the flap is moistened and can be folded and adhesively secured to the body of an envelop.
To facilitate sealing the flap after it has been folded, I resort to. the use of a small roller 16 that is revolubly mounted upon a transverse pin 17 carried by the end of a cap 18 mounted upon the closed end 2 of the body 1. The cap 18 is recessed, as at 19 to provide clearance for the roller 1G. AWhen the device is not in use, the cap 18 can be fitted over the head 4 upon the body 1, similar to the cap upon a fountain pen.
It is thought that the operation and utility of the envelop moistening and sealing device will be apparent without further description, and while in the drawing there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the structural elements can be varied or changed without de arting from the scope of the appended elalm.
What I claim is A device of the type described comprising a hollow body having a closed end, a head fitted in the open end of said body and having a longitudinal bore formed therein, a rod having a looped portion at the outer end of said bore, and a valve carried by the inner end of said rod and controlling the communication between said bore and said hollow body.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ANTONI BATOR.. Witnesses:
PHILIP MEIXLER, FRANCIS A. DANNER.
