MINNIE H. BROWN, HAYDEN, ARIZONA, AS SIGNOR OF ONE-FOURTH TO ALBERT R. GWYNN AND ONE-FOURTH TO MAY B. GWYNN, BOTH OF PHOENIX, ARIZONA.
INK-WELL HOLDER.
Application filed February 21, 1917.
To all whom it may conc n:
Be it known that I, MINNIE H. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hayden, in the county of Gila and State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ink-Well Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying draw- 111S.
This invention relates to an improved ink well holder and has for its primary object to provide a device of this character which is particularly designed for use upon school desks whereby the well will be securely held in place against casual movement, though it may be readily removed when necessary, for the purpose of cleaning the same.
It is anotherand more particular object of the invention to provide a device of the above character embodying a holder plate having a seat for the well and a spring clamping arm provided with an opening to receive the neck rim or flange on the well, and a hinged cover plate carried by said clamping arm adapted to be disposed over the well opening.
It is also another important object of the invention to provide an ink well holder which is constructed from a single continuous piece of sheet metal and which, therefore, may be manufactured and sold at relatively small cost, and is likewise strong and durable in construction and neat in appearance.
l/Vith the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in-the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the holder is formed;
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the device;
Fig. 4. is a side elevation, partly in section, illustrating a slightly modified form of the device.
Referring in detail to the drawing, W indicates the ink well which may be constructed of glass, metal, or other suitable material, and is provided upon its upper surface, around the well opening, with the neck flange or rib R.
My improved holder for the ink well 1s Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 4:, 1919. Serial No. 150,156.
formed from a single plate of sheet metal, as shown in Fig. 3, having a longitudinally tapering, intermediate portion 5 which constitutes the back of the holder in the completed form thereof. At the wider end of this intermediate section 5 of the plate, there is provided arectangular base portion 6 having flanges 7 on its opposite side edges. These flanges are bent upwardly as seen in Fig. 1, to extend at right angles to the base 6 which provides a seat for the well. At the other or smaller end of the intermediate section 5 of the holder plate, there is provided a clamping arm 8 which is bent to extend at right angles to the central portion 5 of the plate and in substantially parallel relation to the base portion 6 thereof. The end of this arm is preferably rounded, as shown, and isprovided with an opening 9 designed to receive the flange or rib R on the well which projects upwardly through said opening. A curved lug or finger piece 10 is formed on tlle edge of the arm 8, whereby the same may be readily lifted or sprung upwardly to permit of the removal of the well.
A hinge knuckle 11 projects laterally from the edge of the arm 8 .at one side thereof, and in the same the intermediate portion of the hinge rod or pintle 12, fixed at its extremities to a circular cover plate 13, is loosely engaged. The hinge rod 12 is of such form as to permit the plate 13 to be swung over and downwardly upon the rib or flange R of the well, whereby the well opening will be completely closed. The intermediate portion 5 of the holder plate constituting the back wall thereof, is centrally provided with an opening indicated at 14, to receive a suitable attaching screw, whereby the holder may be securely fixed to the back ledge of the desk D. It is, however, to be understood that any other suitable fastening means may be provided whereby the holder can be fixed to the desk, table or other support.
In the use of the device, it will be understood that the ink well is arranged in place upon the holder by forcing the same inwardly upon the seat or base 6 between the side flanges 7, whereby the arm 8 is sprung upwardly until the rim or flange R on the well projects through the opening 9 in said arm. Theink well will thus be securely held against any longitudinal shifting movement with respect to the holder, while the flanges 7 preclude the possibility of lateral displacement of the well. The cover plate 13, when open, hangs downwardly along one side of the well 6 from the hinge knuckle 11, and may be easily and quickly moved to its closed position over the well opening.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that I have produced an exceedingly simple, serviceable and convenient holder for ink wells which is especially desirable for use in connection with school desks, avoiding the necessity of providing an opening in the top of the desk within which the well is disposed. In desk ink wells of this type, it is quite difficult to remove the well for the purpose of cleaning the same, and in filling the well, the ink frequently over-runs and enters the interior of the desk. The device being entirely constructed of sheet metal, can also be produced at very small manufacturing cost, and is neat in appearance as well as strong and durable in its construction.
It is apparent that the holder can be made in various sizes and may also be suitably constructed to receive ink wells of other forms or shapes than that illustrated in the accompanying drawing. It is, therefore, to be understood that while I have shown and described the preferred construction and arrangement of the several parts of the device, the same is susceptible of considerable modification and I, therefore, reserve the privilege of adopting all such legitimate changes as may be fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. For instance, in the application of the device to desks of that construction wherein the rear Wall is Vertically inclined as seen in Fig. 4, a tongue 15 is struck outwardly from the rear vertical wall of the holder, said tongue being integrally connected to the plate at the juncture of said rear wall with the arm 8. Thus, in attaching the device, the holder is arranged upon the top surface of the desk with its rear wall vertically disposed and the tongue 15 pulled out from said wall and positioned at an angle in contact with-the front face of the desk ledge or wall D, it being understood, of course, that this tongue is provided with an aperture to receive the fastening screw 14.
While I have referred to my improved ink well holder as particularly designed for use in connection with school desks, it may manifestly be employed with advantage as a desk accessory in banks, telegraph oflices, laundries and other laces where there is considerable danger of the accidental overturning of the well.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is:
An ink well holder consisting of a sheet metal plate, one end of the plate constituting the seat for the well and having upstanding flanges at opposite sides thereof, the intermediate portion of the plate being angularly bent to provide a rear end Wall and the other end portion of said plate projecting at an angle from said end wall above and in spaced relation to the seat, said lat ter end of the plate constituting a clamping arm and having an opening therein to receive the neck flange of the ink well, whereby the well is held in place upon the seat, and a swinging cover plate for the Well opening hingedly mounted upon one edge of the clamping arm.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affiX my signature in the )resence of two witnesses.
