UNITED STATES APATENT OFFICE] Y EDWARD HUGE'M, OFNEW YORK, N. Y,

SELF-Eintritte roUNTAIN-PEN.

To all whom t may concern 'Be it known that I, EDWARD HU'GETZ, a

citizenof the United States of America, residing at New( York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Self-Filling Founf tain-Pens, of which the following is 'a full, clear, and eXact description. A c

This invention relates to improvements in selfiilling fountain pens, andrhaslfor one of its objects to provide a .collapsible selffilling fountain pen; in'other'. words, I have "produced a pen made up of a-'pluralit'y of Y collapsible or telescoping sections whereby the pen, when not in useA and collapsed' can be carried in a vest pocket, in a 'liadys handbag or as a watch-charm. Y The barrelof the pen is provided with meansto cause same to fill when properly manipulated, one of the pen sections being arranged to Vassist in the ractuation of the filling means, whichy inthis instance is a piston.

I will now proceed to describe my'invention in detail, the novel features of which I:

will finally hereinafter claim, .reference being h ad to vthe accompanying drawing, weremz`` Figure 1 illustrates a longitudinal sec-- tional view of my improved pen in collapsed condition;r Y Y Fig. 2 illustrates in elevation the sleeve to operate the illingpiston, the sle'evebeing mounted on the pen-barrel which carries the pen-section,the pen section being'also illus- Fig. 3 is fragmentary view illustrating Y the piston operating sleeve as pulled out either for preparing .same to operate the piston or for writing-purposes;` Y

As has been stated, one of the objects of Y Specification of Letters Patent. Y Patented Oct, 4, 19.21, Ap'piication k.filed December 17, 1920.` I Serial 110.431,415.:

my inventionV is to provide a collapsible i fountain pen'that can be reduced into small space when not in use (see Fig. 1) and ex# 'tended (see Fig. 8),for writing purposes. -Together with the above yfeatures VI provide lself-illing.collapsiblev fountain pen is made up of a barrel-member 9 carrying the usual pen section 10 and a plurality ofv slidable sections 11 and 12. Each section 11, and 12 yis made up of a sleeve vand cover. The sec- `tion `11 is made Vup of a sleeve 13 and cover 14 and the section 12 of a sleeve 15 and cover l16. Each sleeve 13 and 15 is provided with a slot, fthe slot in sleeve 13being indicated by 17, and the `slot infsleeve 15 by 18. These slots will be covered by the covers or casings Y'for the sleeves 13 and 15. lThe sleeves 13 and 14 are rheld togetherjby a pin 19 (see Fig.

76), which extends beyond the cover 14 sufficiently to engage the slot 18 in .sleeve 15 of section 12. Thecover 16 can vbe secured to sleeve 15 in any desired manner. The sleeve 15 extends at one end beyond the cover 16 endof thepen. The slots 17 and 18 will, of

course, belong enough to permit of the desired movement `upon tions 11 and 12. By referring to the part of the secthe barrel-,9 to fill the barrel with ink. (See Fig. 5.)" .The lmovable sections 11 and 12 will have two slidable positions. In one position the said Asections canbe extended or 'collapsed without operating piston 23. In

the piston lis moved to-the adjacent end of the other position of said sections the piston may be operated.

Fig. 2 illustrates the vnormal position of sleeve 13, in which position said sleeve can be moved longitudinally of the barrel 9 without operating the piston, this being obvious. Tokoperate piston 23, it is but necessary to c ause cross slot 21 to engage pin 22 by rotating the sections, after which the piston can be moved longitudinally of the barrel when rnow be moved still farther longitudinally of the barrel ofthe pen until the limit of such movement has been reached. `Such movement will move iston 23 to the butt end of the barrel (see Fig. 5), thereby causing space 25 to fill with ink, the pen section 10 being of course introduced into a supply of ink. Aftergthe pen barrel becomes empty, the piston 23 will be moved to the pen section end of the pen and then moved back to the butt end of the barrel. During the time that Vpiston 23 is positioned at the butt end of barrel 9, the sections canfbe collapsed or eX- tended without moving piston 23 for the reason that after the barrel is filled, the sections 11 yand 12 will .be rotatably moved to vnormal position to move cross-slot 21 out of en agement withpin 22. Y

he barrel 9 may be provided with index marks 26 and 27 to indicate whencross slot 21 is in alinement with pin 22 in either onev Vof the two positions of the piston 23.

What I claim and deslre to secure byLet- Y ters Patent is n Y 1. In a collapsible self-filling fountain pen, a barrel having a slot there1na piston within the barrel movable longitudinally thereof, a pin carried by the piston operable in said slot and extending beyond the peripheral surface thereof, a section carried lby the barrel-and movablejlongitudinally thereof, said section having a' slot longitudinally thereof to receive said' pin, andfmeans associated with said slot to engage said pin whereby said piston can be operated by the movement of said* section, said engaging -means being normally out of engagement with said pin.

1 2. In a collapsible self-filling fountain pen, a barrel having a slot therein, a piston within the barrel movable longitudinall thereof, a pin carried b the piston operab e in said slot and extending beyond the peripheral surface thereof, and a section carried by the Y.

ysaid section has'imparted thereto a rotary barrel and movable longitudinally thereof,

Vhaving a slot longitudinally thereof, said section being also arranged for rotary movement, said slot at one'end thereof having in communication-therewith a cross slot to engage the pin carried by the piston, when said section has imparted thereto arotary movement after said pin and cross slot are alined,

vwhereby said piston ycan be operated by they longitudinal movement of the section, Asaid cross slot and pin being normally out offengagement one with the other.

3f In a collapsible self-filling within Vthe barrel movable longitudinally thereof, a pin carried b the piston operable in said slot and `exten ing beyond thek peripheral surface thereof, a section carriedv thereof, having a'slot longitudinally thereof, said section being also arranged fo'rfrotary Y movement, saidy slot at one end thereof having in communication therewith a cross-Slot fountain pen,.a barrel having a slot therein, a piston by the barrel andmovable longitudinally; Y

to engagefthe pin carried by the piston, when n .A

movement after said pinandcross slotare alined, whereb said piston' can beoperated by the longitu inal movement ofthe section, said cross slot and pinv being normally. out ofv engagement one 'y with thef'other, and means associated with the fbarrel'to indicate when said pin vand crossvslot are in alinement. f .i

4. In a self-filling fountain pen, a barrel, alpiston within the barrel and movable longitudinally thereof, actuating means therefor, a section slidably mounted upon the barrel, arranged to occupythereon a filling position and a'V non-filling position,V and me-ans associated with the section to engagev the actuating means fortheV piston Vwhen said section is in the filling position, whereby said piston will be operated whenA said section is moved longitudinally of the barrel, saidfsectionbeing out of engagement withthe piston when in its non-filling position and capable of being movedlongitudinally ofthe barrel witshout operating said piston.
