Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 13, 1912.
Application filed November 15, 1911. Serial No. 660,861.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, FRANCIS W. VAUGHN, J r., and HENRY J. UPTON, citizens ofthe United States, residing at West Medford and Somerville, respectively, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Imrovements in Fountain-Pens, of which the ollowing is a specification.
Our invention relates to fountain pens and particularly to that kind of fountain pen in which provision is made for thoroughly inclosing the ink when the pen is not in use so that it will not escape to the detriment of the user.
The object of our invention is to provide an improved construction of the cap of the pen so that when the latter is closed the ink will be perfectly confined within the fountain of the pen and cannot escape to the exterior of the latter. To accomplish this we provide an auxiliary cap. within the main cap of the pen, which auxiliary cap is adapted to fit tightly against the open end of the fountain and effectually, connect with the same so that any ink which may pass out of the end of the fountain will be received in the auxiliary'cap and cannot reach the inner surface of the main ca or in any wa travel down to the outer sur ace of the en of the fountain where the fingers of the user rest in the actof writing. This auxiliary cap is held within the main ca by a friction de- .vice and is provided wit means to give it a slight yielding capacity so that it may seat.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a central longitudinal sectional view of one end of a pen with a cap embodying our invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cap shown in Fig. 1 detached from the pen; Fig. 3 is a cross section of the cap shown in Fig. 2 on line 3-3; Fig. 4 is a view, part1 in section, of a cap em,- bodying a modi ed form of our invention; and Fi 5 is a section on line 55 of Fig. 4.
In, Fig. 1 it will be observed that the end of the pen fountain A and the inner surface of the main cap B are provided with screw threads, a and b respectively, by means of WhlCh the main cap may be screwed upon the end of the fountain and positively held in place by the screw threads. The inner or auxiliary cap D is fitted as to its exterior diameter to the interior bore of the main cap. Between its closed end and the inner 'end of the outer cap is interposed a cushion of soft packing 41;, preferably of soft rubber, and the inner cap has u on its outer surface an annular oove'-d' into which is sprung-a split friction ring C of resilient material, preferably spring steel. The ring (1' is sprung into the groove d and the cap with itSTIlCtlOIl ring inserted in the outer cap and pushed toward the upper end thereof where it is retained by the frictional engag'ement of the ring C with the inner walls of the main cap. In operation the main cap is put over the end of the fountain and the screw threads a, b, enga ed and the main cap screwed down upon t e fountain. The gold pen enters into the inner cap D and as the cap is screwed to position, the open end of the cap D is brought into contact with the open end of the fountain, the walls of the fountain and the cap D contacting and fitting together to form a liquid tight joint. The upper end of the main cap B contacts with the rubber pad m and presses the inner cap upon the open end of the fountain with a yielding but firm pressure, giving a slight opportunity. for the inner cap ,to rock and seat itself firmly in case of any an outer or main cap; an auxiliary cap Signed by us at Boston, Mass. this 13th Within the main cap, a spring friction mem day of November, 1911.
