/W muy f/ ATTUHNEYS UNITED STATES JAMES V. WASHBURNE, OF FULTON, NEW YORK.
TWO-PART DISPENSING DESK DEVICE.
Application led July 19,
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, JAMES V. WASHBURNE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Fulton, in the county of Oswego and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Twoljart Dispensing Desk Device, of which the following is a specification.
This inventionhas for its object a twopart dispensing desk-device or receptacle for dispensing material such as ink, small paper fasteners, etc., which is particularly simple in construction and highly efficient and durable in use, and further is proof against handling by absentminded or careless persons; and it consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described and claimed.
In describing. this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of one form of article embodying my invention.
, Figs. 2 and 3 'are sectional views, taken at rright angle to each other, centrally of Fig. 4 is a plan view, partly broken away, of parts seen in Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 3 of a modified form of my invention.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 3 of another form of my invention.
This two-part dispensing device for desks comprises,- generally, a base having a recess and an inverted container for the material to be dispensed carried by the'base, the walls of the recess inclosing the side walls of the container to substantially the top thereof forming a shield which prevents casual removal or displacement of the container.
1 designates the base, which is usually formed of any suitable material as glass, the base having a recess 2, the side walls of which are in the form of any upwardly extending shield 3. The base is also provided with a laterally extending passage 4 leading from the bottom of the recess and opening into a well or trough 5 on the front of the base. As seen in Fig. 6, the passage 4 may be dispensed with and the container formed with an upright external `vgroove or passage 4a opening through a side face of the container and through the bottom face where it can be brought into and out of alinement with a depression or well 5a in the bottom of Specification of Letters Patent.

the recess upon rotation of the container.
The wall of the recess is formed with an opening 2a with which the passage 4n comes in alinement, when said passage 4 is alined with lthe well 5a. When the container is turned to carry the passage 4a out vof alinement with the opening 2a and well 5, the 'l passage 4iL is closed by the wall of the recess, thus closing the inkwell' when not in use, to
`preventevaporation of the ink.;
6 is an inkwell in the form of an inverted container mounted within the recess 2 and 'i of the shield 3, that is, the container loosely k I lits the recess.
The container 6 is suspended in position by coacting means onthe shield 3 and the container 6 about midway between thebottomy and' top of the-'recess 2 and of the container 6.
As here shown, the shield 3 is provided about midway between its ends with an upwardly facing shoulder 10, and the container is formed with an annular downwardly facing shoulder 11 resting on the shoulder 10 and holding its bottom 8 away from the bottom 9 of the recess.
The recess or shield 3 extends to the top of the container, which is usually domed, so that in use the container 6 cannot be readily removed by taking hold of the top 12 which is usually smooth so as not to be readily handled. Preferably, the container and the recess are cylindrical and the container is preferably rotatable in the recess to agitate the contents of the container, although when the device is an ink-well it is not necessary that the container be rotatable.
In the form shown in Fig. 1 and that shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 6 the shield is formed with a vertical slot 13 extending upwardly from the passage 4 and terminating at and opening through the upper edge of said shield, this slot permitting the container to be raised by means of a pen or other article inserted through the slot under the bottom of the container 6. However, this slot in the form shown in Fig. 1 may be dispensed with and replaced by a closed slot terminat-f1 ing below the upper edge of said shield, as shown in Fig. 5.
As seen in Figs. 1 and 3, the container 6 may be formed with a projection 6a extending into the slot 13 and spaced apart from the lower end of the slot, this projection being for the purpose of facilitating the lifting out of the container f6 either by engaging it with the finger or by inserting some* thing under it through the slot 13, as a pen or pencil. Y
In dispensing ,devices for desks as inkwells, etc., having inverted containers, etc., one is liable to absent-mindedly pick up the container with the result that the contents are spilled broadcast. By my invention, owing to the 'fact that the walls of the re cess shield the inverted container, it is impossible to unintentionally bring about this result.
Furthermore, owing to the fact that the container 6 is hung or supported between its upper and lower ends and held olf the bottom of the recess '2, passage of the ink by capillary attraction up along the bottom and sides of the container and the subsequent drying thereo'i` and 'cementingf of the container in place, is prevented. y
What I claim is:
1. A two-part dispensing desk-device comprising a base having an outlet and an inverted container mounted on the' base and 'communicating with said outlet, the base having a Vshield rising therefrom and inclosing the sides of the container, the shield being provided with an upwardly extending slot opening through the upper edge of the shield and the container having a projection on the side thereof extending into the slot,
ulstantially as and for the purpose speci- 2. A two-part dispensing desk device comprising a base having an outlet, a shield eX- tending upwardly from said base, and a con tainer supportedwithin said shield in an inverted position, said shieldinclosing the container in a manner to prevent a lifting action to be exerted thereon from above and being provided with means for permitting the lifting of said container from below.
3. A two-part desk device comprising a base having .an outlet, a shield extending upwardly from said base, a container eX- tending into said shield in an inverted condition and spaced therefrom to form an interior space between said: container and the shield, and coperating shoulders on said shield and container respectively whereby the latter is supported within said shield in a manner to position the exit end of said container at a distance from said base and whereby the upper end of said interior space is sealed. Y
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, and State of New York, this 9th day of July, 1917.
JAMESV. WASHBURNE.
