DANIEL W. SCHNEBBE, OF NEW YORK, N.

FOUNTAIN-PEN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 13, 1913.

Application filed March 4, 1912. Serial No. 681,476.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL W. SCHNEBBE,

. a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain-Pens, of which the following is a clear, full, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved fountain pen having a single barrel with two pens and pen stocks adapted to carry different colored inks, and so constructed that either pen may be used.

In carrying out the invention, I make use of two separate reservoirs within the pen case, which may be made of any non-flexible or flexible material in accordance with whether the pen be an automatic filler or a tube filler, and I provide in the pen casing two pens and two pen stocks, each joined by a flexible tubing with one of the reservoirs.

I may connect the two pen stocks so that upon the projection of, one from the pen casing the other will be retracted, but such is not necessary in all instances. 1

The scope of my invention will be pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a central sectional side elevation of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a top plan of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged central sectional view of the pen stocks and easing at the right hand end of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on line 4-4 Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective View of pne of the pens, and pen stocks. Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of a modified form of device, particularly adapted for' self-fillers.

As shown in the drawings: Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive: 1 is the pen casing provided with filling screw caps 7 and 8, and with'a dividing wall 6 and an end wall'16 permanently located within the casing to divide the same into two chambers 4 and 5. At the open end of the pin casing 1 I provide slots 18, in which finger grip guide pieces 17 and stop pieces 19 may e reciprocated. They are secured to the

pens

2 and 3 and the pen stocks 11 and 12, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

Flexible rubber tubes

9 and 10 serve to connect one end of each pen stock with the chambers 4 and 5. A guard or strap 13 fastened to each of the reciprocating pen stocks and passing over a pulley 14 in a bracket 15 serves to compel the retraction of one pen upon the projection of the other.

As shown in Fig. 6, in place of the chambers 4 and 5 provided with their rigid walls and ink filling cap 7 and 8 I have shown flexible rubber tubing reservoirs 21-22 connected to the pens 25-25 by flexible ducts or connections 26, the reservoirs 21-22 being within the casing 20, which pen casing is provided with blades 23 and push buttons 24 so that on depressing the buttonair will be expelled from the

tube

22 or 23 and if the pen be inserted into ink the ink pen releasing the button willbe drawn up in the filling tube.

In Fig. 6 I have shown no automatic connection to compel the retraction of one pen upon the movement of the other, though the omission or use of this device is not of importance to any of the modifications shown in this case.

I claim as my invention:

1. A fountain pen consisting of a casing, an ink reservoir within said casing, a pen carried by said casing and movable longitudinally thereof, and a flexible duct connecting said reservoir and said pen.

2. A fountain pen consisting of a casing, an ink reservoir within said casing, a pen carried by said casing and movable lon 'tudinally thereof, and a flexible rubber tu ing connecting said duct and said pen.

3. A fountain pen comprising a casing,

a plurality of ink reservoirs within said casing, a plurality of pens carried by said casing, adapted for movement longitudinally thereof, and means connecting said pens adapted to move one of said ens into said casing when the other of sai pens is moved to project beyond said casing.
