Specification of Letters Patent.
Fatented Mar. 19, 1918.
Application filed July 80, 1917. Serial No. 183,584.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that FLOYD E. RIBELIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Upland, in the county of Grant and State of Indiana, has invented, certain new and useful Improvements in Clips for Pens or Pencils, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to clips for holding pens or pencils within a pocket, and particularly to that class of clips wherein a resilient finger is mounted upon the clip to bear against the pocket.
The general object of my invention is to provide a very simple, cheaply made and effective device of this character, so constructed that the pocket is gripped between the pen or pencil and the finger; a further object in this connection being to provide the finger with a rubber tip which will secure a good engagement between the finger and the pocket.
And still another object is to provide a. device of this character in which the finger may be readily forced away from the pocket when .it is desired to withdraw the pencil from the pocket.
Other objects will appear in the course of the following description.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pencil with my clip attached thereto, the pocket being shown in section;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the pencil clip and a portion of the pocket;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view .with the various parts of the clip separated from each other.
Referring to these figures, it will be seen that my improved clip comprises an approximately V-shaped and rather strong spring, designated 10, which is preferably made of a flat stri of metal and the legs of which are norma ly divergent. Riveted to one of the legs 11 of this spring 10 is the plate 12,
having arcuately curved ears 13, which are adapted to embrace and frictionally hold upon a pen or. pencil. Riveted to the other leg of the spring 10 is a finger 14, the base of which is relatively enlarged as at 15 and is riveted to the leaf spring, that portion of the finger which projects beyond the base being relatively longer and terminating in a somewhat enlarged end 16 having prongs 17 which engage with and hold a rubber tip 18, this rubber tip being so made as to have a relatively hard base with a somewhat spongy and yieldable exterior portion.
With this device the pen or pencil is slipped between the cars 13 and when the pen or pencil is inserted in the pocket, the clip is 'opened by pressing against the extremity of the outer leg of the spring, which comprises the spring so that the legs are parallel with each other and the clip is spaced from the pen or pencil. Then the pen or pencil is inserted in the pocket and the spring closes the finger against the pocket, the wall of the pocket being firmly gripped between the pencil and the rubber tip.
It will be seen that this device may be very cheaply made, that it is extremely simple and the rubber tip prevents the pen or pencil from slipping out of the pocket unnoticed, and a relatively heavy spring causes the clip to grip the pocket tightly. It will be seen that the shank or narrow portion of the finger 14 is laterally curved, so as to strengthen it. 3
Having described my invention, what I claim is A pen or pencil clip comprising a leaf spring having normally divergent legs, a plate attached to one of said legs and having ears bent to engage a pencil, a finger having a relatively broad base attached to the other of said legs, the finger at its end being formed with prongs, and a rubber tip engaged by said prongs and having a relatively hard base portion and a relatively spongy outer portion.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. FLOYD E. RIBELIN. Witnesses:
H. F. GRAVELLE, L. W. HOWE.
