J. H. M CALLUM PENHOLDER Filed July 15. 1922 Patented June 10, 1924.
UNITED STATES JOHN H. MGCALLUM, OF CABLOTTA, CALIFORNIA.
PENHOLDER.
Application filed July 15, 1922. ;Seria1No. 575,281.
To allwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I,,JOHN H. MCCALLUM, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Carlotta, in the county ,of Humboldt and :State .of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Penholders, of which the following is aspecification.
This invention relates to penholders and has for its prime object to provide a holder formed from a single piece of spring steel that will securely hold the nib o-r pen in engagement with the holder.
A further object of the invention is to provide a {penholder of the above stated character, wherein thenib or pen may be released from the holder upon relatlve .movement of the penholder parts.
the purpose intended, and one that can be.
manufactured and sold at a relatively low cost.
These and like objects of the invention will be better understood as the description proceeds and is specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification and which clearly illustrates the construction and operation of my invention,
Figure 1 is a side view of the penholder with the pen secured therein.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of same.
Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of the holder removed from the pen stock.
Figure A isa section taken on line 4& of Figure 2, and
Figure 5 is a perspective View of the penholder before same is bent and rolled into position as indicated in Figure 3.
Referring to the drawing in detail, like characters will be used to designate like parts in the different views.
In the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates a portion of the pen stock, which is provided with a reduced portion 2 at one end. The
pen from entering too far therein.
stock .1 isconstructed of anysuitzible niaterial, preferably wood.
A strip of spring steelorsheet metal is indicated as a wholelby the numeral 3and is clearlyshown in Figure5, is bent on lline Aand folded back upon itselfuntiltheedge 5 of the reduced end 6 reaches a pointadjacentto the slot 7, as. isindicated in Figure 3. The sheet metal 3 is then curved into a circular formation and inserted on the end .of the reduced portion [2 of "the stock 1, thus firmly clamping the holder onto the stock by meansof the spring action of the sheet metal.
A nib or pen 8 is then inserted .into the holder, the .pen passing under the. extreme end of the lower portionlO, throughthe slot 7 and then over the surface of the lower portion and under the surface of theupper portion 9, so that the ,springaction of the strip 3 securely locks the nibor pentherein. The upper portion '9 ofv the strip 3 is provided with stops 11 to prevent the nib or The stops 11 being in the form of indentations in the said upper portion 9, as is clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3.
The lower portion of the strip is formed with a pair of V-shaped cuts 12 on the opposite edges of same so that when it is desired to remove the nib or pen 10 from the holder, the holder proper is held firmly by the fingers and upon downward pressure on the extreme end 13 of the lower portion 10, the said portion is moved downwardly and away from the upper portion 9, the V- shaped cuts acting as a hinge for the portion 10 and the reduced end 6 of the portion 9 permitting unobstructed movement of the portion 10 when moved downwardly.
A finger grip 14; of rubber, cork, or any other suitable material is inserted over the holder which provides additional means for locking the holder to the stock and also the nib or pen to the holder.
In view of the foregoing description of my invention taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it is thought that any further explanation as to the construction and objects of the invention are unnecessary.
lVhile I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, I realize that various minor changes may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed, and therefore, I do not wish to limit myself to the exact details of construction shown, nor to the combination and arrangement of parts. What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: '1. In a penholder comprising a stock having a reduced portion on one end, a sleeve formed from a single piece of spring metal, said sleeve folded back upon itself, means'for clamping said sleeve onto the reduced end of said stock, means for holding a pen between the, sleeve and said folded back portion, and means formed on said sleeve to permit removal of the pen on downward pressureotthe extreme end of said sleeve.
152. A pen holder comprising a blank havingone end portion reduced in width and provided with a transverse slot, the other 'end portion of the blank being also reduced 'inwidtlrtoprovide a tongue or reduced portion, there being opposed angular notches in the side edges of the blank between the "slot and thetransverse center ofthe blank, said'blank adaptedto folded on itself adjacent its transverse center, thereby to bring the'free end of the tongue close to but ba'ck'of the transverse slot, the folded blank being bent transversely to tubular form to provide a sleeve, said slot constituting means for recelvmg one end of a pen point inserted into ene end of the sleeve, and said tongue constituting means for en aging and bearing on said inserted end of t 1e pen said blank adapted to be folded on itself adjacent its transverse center, thereby to brin the free end of the tongue close to but bact of the transverse slot, the folded blank being bent transversely to tubular form to provide a sleeve, said slot constituting means for receiving one end of a pen point inserted into one end of the sleeve, and said tongue constituting means for engaging and bearing on said inserted end of the pen point, said sleeve being weakened by the o posed angular notches and bendable at t 1e weakened portion to release an inserted pen point from engagement with the tongue.
In testimony whereof, I have aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
