CLIP FOR PENS AND PENCILS.
APPLICATION FILED MAR. 3. 1921.

I l a 4 l3 'rrs GLEN 13.. ELLS, or FORT WAYNE, INDIANA.
our FOR PENS Application filed March 3,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GLEN R. WELLS, acitizen of the United States of America, and resident of Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips for Pens and Pencils, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in clips for pens and pencils for securing them in the pocket of a garment in a manner as to prevent their accidental removal and loss. The object -of the improvements is to so construct the device as to admit easy insertion of the pen or pencil into the pocket with the spring tongue sliding freely over the top of the pocket, and to include in the construction means adapted to resist the withdrawal of the pencil or pen by engagement with the cloth of the garment when the device is in inserted position. Also, it is the object of the invention to construct the engaging members so that by simple manipulation it will admit of the easy removal of" the clip from engagement with the cloth of the garment when withdrawing the pen or pencil.
The objects of the invention are. accomplished by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a front view of a clip embodyor the invention positioned on a pencil; Fig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a detail view showing a plan of a modification of the engaging member; and Fig. 4: is a similar view of another modification of the same.
The characters of reference herein appearing refer to corresponding parts illustrated in the drawings and designated thereon by similar characters.
The invention is comprised of a frame 1 having at its upper end a pair of jaws 2' shaped to clasp the body of the pencil 3 so that the frame is thereby frictionally held in position on the pencil. The frame has, at the front thereof, a pendant tongue I suitably shaped to clasp the top of the pocket against the pencil body when the pencil is placed into the pocket with the tongue extending over the edge of the pocket. The lower end of the tongue has greater breadth than that portion adjacent thereto, there being lateral shoulders 5 formed on the tongue. A particular feature of the invention is the engaging member comprised of Specification ofLetters Patent.
AND rENcILs."
1921. Serial No. 449,525.
elliptical washer 6-formed stamping from sheet metal, and whichis loosely positioned on the tongue above the shoulders 5 and has free sliding vertical movement on the tongue above the shoulders. V
In Figs. 1 and 2 the engaging member 6 is shown in the simple form of an elliptical washer, mounted loosely on the tongue, and which is adapted to clutch the clothof the garment and resist upward movement of the tongue when the washer is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The upper part of the pocket is held between the upper inner edge of the engaging member 6' owing to the spring pressure of the tongue and as the clip is moved upwardly the shoulders engage the washer and the withdrawal of the pencil is thereby resisted. However, when the washer is tilted to the position indicated in dotted outline in Fig. 2 the washer presents a slanting surface to the garment which admits of its being readily moved upward with the tongue as thepencil is removed from the pocket. Thus, the pencil is held more or less securely accordingly as the washer is tilted in one position or the other. necessary to release the washer from engaging position by simply tilting it from one position to the other by manipulating it with the finger. I
In the modification of the engaging member shown in Fig. 3 an elliptical ring 6' is formed with a projecting ear 7 on one side, the purpose of the car being to facilitate manipulation of the member, the ring being tilted by raising or lowering the ear with the finger. The modification-of the engaging member shown in Fig. shows an ellip tical ring 6 with a spherical lug 8 projecting from one side thereof by which the ring may be tilted. What I claim is V 1.- In a penjor pencil clip, a spring tongue adapted to be secured at one end to a pen or pencil and having a widened free end; and an engaging member consisting of an elliptical washer loosely mounted onthe tongue and adapted to be vertically moved thereon. 2. In a device of the class described, a spring tongue adapted to'be secured at one end to a pen or pencil, its opposite end having projecting shoulders, and a tilting Patented Au 9, 1921.
n is only washer loosely mounted on the tongue, said,
shoulders being adapted to prevent removal of the washer.
pencil clip, a washer loosely secured upon the clip and being adapted to be tilted in one position so as to engage the cloth of the garment and resist withdrawal of the pen or pencil to which the clip is attached, and in another position so as to slide freely over the cloth during withdrawal of the pen or pencil.
4:. In combination with a pen or pencil clip having a spring tongue, an engaging member comprised of a Washer loosely positioned with the tongue extending loosely therethrough and having a projecting finger-hold on one side thereof for adjustably tilting it in different positions on the tongue.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
