Pen-Holders. N0 v4- 930, "Patented Feb.24,1874.
UNITED STATES PATENT OEErOE. Y
NOEL BENOIT eALLA-ND, or EEUEs, FRANCE.
IMPROVEMENT IN PEN-HQLDE-RS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,930, dated Februz ry 24, 1874; application tiled January 23, 1874.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, NOEL BENOIT GALLAND, of Feurs, in the Department of the Loire, France, have invented certain Improvements in Pen-Holders, of which the following is a specification My invention relates to certain improvements in pen-holders, the object of which is to overcome the diiculties experienced by young, weak, or aged persons in grasping and inanipulating the pen, and also the inconvenience arising from the contact of the fingers, which are convex, with the pen-holder, which is also convex. The invention consists in a series of rings formed with collars for adjusting them on the penholdcr, so as to allow of the insertion of the ingers in the rings in any desired positions, thus relieving the ngers of the muscular strain which would otherwise be necessary.
In the accompanying dn wing, Figure l is a perspective view of my invention, showing its application to the n gers. Fig. 2 is a side view of a pen-holder with four rings attached. Fig. 3 is a side view of a pen-holder with one ring attached. Fig. 4 is a transverse section taken in the line w of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken in the line y y of Fig. 3. Figs. 6 and 7 are edge views of the rings.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre spondin g parts in all the figures.
A represents a pen-holder of any suitable construction and form, preferably cylindrical. B is a ring made of sheet metal, with a collar, b, formed on one portion of its periphery. The ring is of such dimensions as to t one of the fingers, and the collar corresponds with the size of the pen-holder. The ring and collar are made of one strip of metal, either by lapping and soldering the ends, as shown in Fig. 6, or by forming the collar at one end and bending the remaining portion to form the ring, as shown in Fig. 7.
The invention is applied tothe pen-holder by inserting it through the collar b, and then adjustin g the ring to suit the nger. There may be a single ring used, for the forenger only, as shown in Fig. 3, or two, three, or four, as shown in Figs. l and 2. When four rings are used, the ring B2 surrounds the foreinger between the second and third joints, the ring B1 surrounds the tip of the forenger, while the thumb engages with the ring B3, and the sec ond or middle nger with the ring B4, as shown in Fig. l.
By means of this invention the ngers are brought in contact with a concave surface, giving more ease and comfort than the convex surface of the'bare penholder, and there is no muscular exert-ion necessary in grasping or manipulating the pen, the only resistance to be overcome being the friction of the pen upon the surface of the paper.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The adjustable ring or rings, formed with the collars b for adjusting' them on the pen-holder to allow the insertion of the fingers into said rings in any desired position, substantially as described, for the object set forth.
GALLAND.
