HENRY J. UP'ION, OF MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.
CAP AND CLIP FOR FOUNTAIN-FEMS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 24, 1918.
Application filed May 27, 1918. Serial No. 236,688.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY J. UPToN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Medford, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Caps and Clips for Fountain-Pens, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is a combined cap .and clip for fountain pens.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation on line ll of Fig. 2;
Fig. 2'is an elevation of my combined clip and cap, looking in the direction of arrow in Fig. l; i
Fig. 3 is a section, on'line. 3'3 ofFig. 1,
looking in the same direction. as in Fig. 2; and I Fig. 4 is a perspective of the clip D. It has been common -practice,'in order to provide means to :,connect a fountain pen with the clothing of the user, when not in actual use in order to prevent loss of the pen, to secure, in some manner, a metallic spring finger or clip longitudinally of the cap, so that when the pen was not the cap was in place over the pen point, the pen'might. be inserted 'in'a pocket and the cloth of the edge of .the 'pocket'inserted between the capa-nd the spring clip to. connect the pen to the clothing-of the user.
It is the object of my invention to provide means tov co'nneetthe clip and the cap cheap to assemble in resultwhich are economical to make, easy and and secure and I effective In the drawings, A is a cap, the closed end, a, of which hasan aperture 6 formed in it, from one sideof the cap, to or beyond the longitudinal axis of the ca The clip D has an offset'armpd, preferably form and'of the same width in use, and
A second aperture 0 passes from the chamber of the. capinto the aperture 6.
as the diameter of the aperture 6, which iaperture is preferably circular in cross sec- Within the aperture, 0, is mounted a pin, 0, preferably screw-threaded, which in its advanced or uppermost position impinges upon the offset arm, d, and forces it upward, the edges of arm of biting into the sides of the aperture 6, the parts in this manner being frictionally engaged with great firmness. (See Fig. 8.)
It will now be obvious that the clip D thus engaged and secured may be sprung out to receive a part of the cloth of a garment between the clip and the cap and grip the cloth firmly and that the clip will firmly anchored to the cap be moved in any direction, save that the free end of the clip may be moved outward by virtue of the resiliency of the metal of the cl1p, to receive the cloth of the pocket and that the. assembling and securing of the cap and clip together by means of the pin, 29, is both simple,certain and effective.
, I havedescribed the preferred form of my device, but it is obvious that the precise form of the apertures and of the pin and lateral armare not essential elements.
In combination, a'cap having in the solid closed end of the cap communicating lateral and longitudinal apertures circular in crosssection; a clip, having an oflset arm'within the lateral aperture which is flat in crosssection and equal in width to the diameter of the lateral aperture; a screw-threaded pin located in the longitudinal aperture; all or ganized, as described, to'cause the screw pin to engage the lateral arm and the edges of the arm to engage the walls of the lateral aperture.
Signed at Boston, Mass, this 21st dayof May, 1918. p HENRY J. UPToN.
