SAN'DOR J. SOLTESZ, OF NEW YORK, N, Y.
COMBINED CLIP AND CLEANER FOR .STYLOGRAPHIC PENS.
Application filed December 7, 1920. Serial No. 428,888.
To all 10 from it may concern Be it known that I, SANDOR J. SoLrEsz, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Clips and Cleaners for Stylographic Pens, of which the following is a description.
This invention relates to so-called clips, orholders for pens or pencils which are adapted for fastening the pen or pencil to the pocket of a garment, and, particularly, has reference to a combined clip and cleaner for stylographic pens.
Among the objects of my invention may be noted the following: to provide an eifective, simple, economically produced, strong and durable clip having combined therewith a cleaner for stylographic pens; to pro vide a simple, effective and economical mode or method of producing the clip and sheath for the pen cleaner; to provide a device of the character set forth in the foregoing which can be made of a single blank of material and quickly converted ,into the functional structure; to provide a device of the character stated which is adaptedto be clamped upon the pen and which is adjustable for varying sizes of pens, or to be ap plied in varying positions on the pen without alteration; to provide a simple andefficacious means by which to sheath the pen cleaner and hold the same against loss when not in use; to provide a simple and durable form of cleaner for stylographic pens which can be sheathed and safely held in the clip which holds the pen to the garment; and to provide certain combinations of elemental features capable of securing the functions set forth in the foregoing and obtaining or producing the results noted.
/Vith the foregoing objects in View and others which will be detailed during the course of this description my invention consists in the parts, elements, and combinations thereof and in the method hereinafter described and claimed.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, 1 have provided drawings where- Figure 1 is a perspective view looking at the front of the device in one form of and embodying my invention;
.of the blank from which the cleaner handle is produced;
Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view on the line 66, Figure l; and Figure 7 is a plan view of a detail showmgza modification of the blank of Figure 3.
eferring to the drawings and, particularly, to Figure 3, the form of the blank from which the clip is made will be readily understood, said blank being shown as con sistmg of pressure arm member 1, which is the inner side of the (clip, and corresponding pressure arm member 2, which is the outer side of the clip, said member 2 being provided, in its inner surface, with a longitudinal groove 8, extending from approximately its outer .end to the central enlarged body portion generally indicated by 4L, at
which pointsaid groove is enlarged and tapered, as at 5, the latter terminating in an aperture 6 provided in the inner end of the member 1 of the blank. The blank is provlded with two oppositely extended arms 7 to be formed into clamping jaws, each terminating in a narrowed extension 8 on opposite sides of the respective arms 7, thus leaving-shoulders 9. Each of the members 1 and 2 is provided with a wedge-shaped terminal 10 which, when the blank is folded at approximately the dotted lines 11, will register and co-act to receive and hold a blank clip 12 which, when clamped on the wedge-shaped, cooperating ends, is formed into a ball, as shown in Figures 1 and 1. Thus a clip :is produced from a single piece of sheet material, which may be a metal blank, and simultaneously therewith a sheath is formed or provided for the reception of the slender, flexible cleaning wire: 13, Figures 2 and 4, clamped in the holder 14, Figure 2, the latterbeing primarily in the form of a flat blank 15, Figure '5, which, by any suitable means or process, is turned over upon the cleaner 13 vand given the tapering form shown in Figure 2. The handle 16 of the cleaner is formed as an integral part of the holder 14, and its edges may be serrated, notched, or roughened in any suitable way to produce a frictional means for firmly holding the same to extract the cleaner 13 from the sheath formed in the clip.
In producing the clip and sheath from the form shown in Figure 3, the latter, previously stamped out of a suitable piece of sheet material, is folded transversely on the dot ted lines 11, which provides the sheath entrance 6, for the insertion of the cleaner 13, at the top of the clip, as shown in Flgures 1 and 4:. The folded blank is then compressed to intimately associate the members 1 and 2 and simultaneously therewith bend the arms 7 into the approximately circular form shown in Figure 1, causing the extensions 8 to overlap one above the other, the end'of an extension engaging or closely approaching a shoulder 9 on the opposite arm 7. The ball blank 12 is now arranged in juxtaposition to the wedge-shaped, cooperating ends 10 of the members 1 and 2 and, by a suitable die, is formed and clamped to produce a ball upon the said ends, the narrowed portions of the wedge-shaped terminals 10 receiving the edges of the blank and aiding in interlocking the ends and ball together. When the blank is thus manipulated, arigld top extension 17 is provided containing the tapering sheath entrance 6 in which the holder 14: is frictionally held after inserting the cleaner 13 in the sheath or groove 3. A slight pull upon the handle 16 will enable the user to extract the cleaner from its sheath; but, the cooperative engagement of sheath portion 5 and tapering portion lei of the cleaner will prevent accidental displace ment or loss of the cleaner. The form of the pressure arms, when arranged in cooperative relation, and between which is provided the sheath for the cleaner 13, is clearly shown in Figures 1 and 6, it being seen that the transverse curvature of the member 1 conforms approximately to the curvature of the pen to which the clip is applied.
According tothe form of my invention shown in Figure 7, the ball 12 may be produced by formin on the respective members 1 and 2 a semi-spherical member 18. When the blank is folded on the lines 11, the semi-spherical members 18 will register and cooperate, and, with the proper form of die, can be compressed together and rigid ly held in bulbous form by previously inserting a spot of solder.
At the time the arms 7 are bent into circular form, the pressure arms 1 and 2 may also be given the curvature shown in Figure 4, thus providing a space 19 for the reception of the hem or thickened portion of the pocket over which the clip is pressed when the pen is placed in the vest pocket, for example. This curvature is not essential, however; but, is usually given to the clip for the purpose stated, and also for increasing strength and resiliency. The cleaning wire is quite flexible and, when inserted in the sheath of whatever form, will readily conform thereto. The tapered holder 14: for the fine ,wire willfrictionally retain the latter in the sheath against all jars, jolts and considerable strain.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A clip for the purposes stated formed of a single piece of sheet material having a pair of spring jaws for engaging the pin, and a resilient pressure arm for gripping the garment, said arm being provided with a cylindrical sheath closed throughout its length for the reception of a pen cleaner.
2. In combination with a pin-holding clip having resilient pen-holding jaws and a resilient pressure arm, the latter having a sheath formed therein throughout its length, a pen-cleaner adapted to enter the sheath, and means between the pen-cleaner and sheath for frictionally' holding the one within the other.
3. The method of making pen-holding clips consisting in producing from a blank of sheet material a form having oppositely extending members one of which is provided with a longitudinal groove terminating in an aperture and adapted to form a sheath, and also a pair of oppositely extending jaws at a mid-point of the blank; folding said blank upon itself at approximately midpoint soas to bring said members into cooperative relation and produce a sheath and so as to bring the aperture at one end of the clip; subjecting the folded blank to pressure so as to give the jaws a substantially circular curvature; and producing upon the free ends of the cooperating members a bulb adapted to hold the said ends together.
fLThe method of making pen-holding clips consisting in producing a blank form from a sheet of suitable material; forming in a portion of the blank form a groove adapted to form a sheath or rece tacle; folding said blank form to produce a oublethick pressure arm and cover the groove; subjecting the folded form to pressure to produce clamping jaws; and forming a substantially bulbous end upon the pressure arm.
5. A pen clip having means for frictionally holding it to a pen, and also having a hollow pressure arm forming a sheath for a cleaner, said arm having one endof the sheath enlarged and tapered, in combination with a cleaner adapted to enter the sheath and having a handle with a tapered portion for cooperation with the tapered portion of the sheath.
6. A pen clip having means for frictionally holding it to a pen, and also having a hollow pressure arm forming a sheath for a cleaner, said arm having portions extending on opposite sides of the holding means, and having in one portion a long slot to receive the cleaner blade and in the other portion a tapered enlargement in continuity With the slot, in combination with a cleaner having a blade to enter the slot, and a handle With a tapered portion to enter the enlargement, and also having a serrated portion free of the sheath.
