INK-WELL.

Applicationfiled November 10, 1913. Serial No. 800,183.

a To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARL EDWARD TAN- KEWI'LZ, a citizen of the United States, re-. siding at Grand Rapids, Michigan, have vented certain new and useful Improve ments in Inkells, of which the following isa specification i M This invention relates to improvements in' ink wells.

The main objects of this invention are F1rst-, to provide in an ink well, an 1mproved receptacle holder which may be inserted in a hole or in a suitable support,j such as a desktop. Second, to provide an improved ink well in whichfthe'receptacle is effectively sealed. Third,to provide an improved cover for ink wellsiby means of which the ink well is sealed and the parts are not liable to be affected by corrosionQ Further objects, and objects I relating to structural details, will definitely appear fromithe' detailed descriptionto follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. V v

' The invention is clearly defined, and pointed out in the claims, 1 e A structure whichis a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure I is a detail perspective view of a structure embodying the features of. my invention, a portion of a support being shown, the closure being shown in its open position. Fig. II is a perspective view of the cover member. Fig. III is a perspective view of the receptacle holder removed from the support. Fig. IV is a detail vertical. section on a linecorresponding to line et4c of Fig. I. Fig. V is a. horizontal section through the holder, on a line corre= spondingto-line 55 ,ofFigIV. Fig. VI is a perspective view of the closure member.

Fig. VII, is, a detail vertical section on! a- 7 line correspondingtoline77 of Fig;

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughoutfthe several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Referring to the drawing,- -1 represents a support suchas the topv of/a desk, or the like.

The ink well receptacle holder. consistsof a barrel or body portion 2 formed of a;

. opening 14-;

form and having lugs 3 struck out from its sides; to engage thefsuppo'rt, as shown in F g. IV, the lugs being'fpointe'd and directed upwardly.

I The top piece of sheet metal rolled into cylindrical member 4 of the i holder, is proj vided, with an. outwardly projecting rim 5 at its upper endfadaptjed torest on the top of the desk or to be countersunk therein as desired, and witl'ran inwardly projecting flange -6 at the bottom constitutinga support for the ink'receptaele 7, thereceptacle I being provided" with an outwardly projecting Jfl'an'ge" 8 e at the top resting on tlie flange 1 as shown n Fig IV. The top'mem'ber .4 is, 1n practice, drawn or formed means of suitable dies.

The] rang e i sea asses and portionsflbet'wjeen the turned outwardly. to providethe securingltongues 9 which are arranged through} horizontal slots 7 in the 0 barrel and clamped to; secure the partstogether, as shownin Figs. III, VI and VII.

The edges of, the barrel are left freefand turned outwardly slightly to provide spring support "engaginglmembers,there being a securing tongue [adjacent to each edge the barrel, as shown in F1g.;V.,

The cover member 10 is provided with a downturnedl flange-all at its edge closely fitting within the top member 4 and Iembra'cing the flange on the upper sne r tl r tacle 7. See Fig. IV.

The coverfmemberis provided with an upwardly offset cylindrical housing 12. in I its top for the disk-like closure member-13.,

The top of thecover member is provided witha pen openingf'l while the closure member is provided with "an opening 15.

adapted to be brought into register the 16 of theclosurei'member projects. The

.ends of the slot constitute stops forthe closure member.

The closure member issupportedand retained in its housing by the disk 18 fitted into the flange on the ,cover member and restingupon the upper-{end} of the receptacle to seal thesame. Therclosuremember 13 is preferably .formed} of non-corroding ma teriahhar'djfiber beingpreferred, while the disk 18fis preferably formed .ofnon-corroding material, a p'arafiined or oiled cardboard being preferred,v This .eflectively: sealszthe j ters Patent is:

ink receptacle and the parts do not become corroded and thereby destroyed or rendered inoperative.

The disk 18 is provided with an opening registering with the opening 1a in the cover member. The lower end of the barrel 2 is preferably turned inwardly, as shown, to assist in entering into the hole in the sup portand also to provide smooth edges for the partsvwhich project into the disk.

When it is desired to remove the receptacle, the cover is pushed out by pushing up on the bottom of the receptacle. lhe holder is effectively retainedin the desk or support so that it cannot be conveniently removed without the aid of tools."

My improved ink well is simple and economical in structure and easily assembled in its support and projects but little above the top of the desk even. when not countersunk. It is obvious that it can be readily countersunk into the desk.

I have illustrated and described 'my improvements in detail in the embodiment preferred by me. I have not attemptedto illus trate or describe certain modifications in structural details, as, the disclosure made will enable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates to embody or adapt the same as conditions may require. I desire,

however, to be understood asclaiming my improvements specifically in the form illustrated, as well as broadly within the scope ofthe appended claims. j v Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let- 1.
