Description

J. W. SAUNDERS Filed March 27.
Patented Nov. 25, 1924.
I UNITED STATES JOSEPH W. SAUNDERS,
OF POCATELLO, IDAHO.
PENCIL-ILLUMINATING LIGHT.
Application filed March 27, 1923.
To all whomz't may concern:
Be it known that I, JosErH \V. SAUNDERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pocatello, in the county of Bannock and State of Idaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pencil-Illuminating Lights, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to electrical attachments, and particularly to devices for illuminating a writing implement.
The general object of the invention is to provid a device of this character having a combined pencil and light holder, the holder being designed to receive a relatively small electric light and be disposed upon the pencil adjacent the point thereof, this holder having an extension cord with a plug adapted to fit in any ordinary electric light battery or in the lamp socket of an electric lantern or flash light.
A further object is to provide a device of this character which is very simple, very compact, which may be cheaply manufactured and sold and can be used with any sized standard flash light, electric lantern or battery, and can be used with any standard sized pencil.
A still further object is to so form the pencil and lamp holder that it will not rust and that it will not be cold to th fingers.
Other objects will appear in the course of the following description.
My invention is illustrated in the accom panying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of my appliance about full size, showing the manner in which it is used;
Figure 2 is an elevation of the device partly in section;
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the manner in which the device is carried by the operator and used.
Referring to these drawings, designates the combined pencil and lamp holder. This is preferably made of hard rubber or like material and formed with a main portion hollowed, as at 11, to form a socket and with a laterally projecting lug 12 having an opening 13 of such size that it will receive snugly an ordinary pencil 14. The socket 11 is formed with an internal brass bushing 15 such as is commonly found in electric light sockets and with the central stud or electrode 16. The lamp 16 is a standard incan- Serial No. 627,878.
descent lamp having a base of small diameter, this base having the usual central electrode and outer bushing of brass.
Leading from the holder 10 and specifically from the top of the socket 11 are the two wires 18 which connect to a conventional electric light plug 19 having the usual central electrod 20 and outer metallic bushing 21. This is adapted to engage in a socket such as is found in the usual flash light, one of which is illustrated generally in Figure 2 and designated 22.
It will be seen that the combination light and pencil holder may be shifted up and down the pencil to any desired point on the pencil so as to bring the light in proper re lation to the point of the pencil so that the user may see to read. The device is very small, compact and can be used with any sized flash light or electric lantern by removing the lamp therefrom and inserting the plug 19 in place thereof. It may also be used with the ordinary pocket battery. The rubber holder 10 will not rust, as it would if it were made of metal, is much easier on the fingers, and does not get so cold as metal in cold weather and does not scratch or mar the pencil. The point of the pencil is fully illuminated by the lamp and the thumb on the pencil keeps the glare out of the eyes. When the point wears down on one side of the pencil the pencil can be turned around its axis very easily so as to prevent too much wear on one side of the point. The connecting wires 18 are very small and fleXible.
This device is particularly useful for those whose work calls upon them to do writing in the dark and outside, such as railroad conductors, car checkers, etc. Ordinarily the car checkers, conductors and like operators carry lanterns for this purpose but the lanterns have to be hung on one arm and it is rather difficult to secure proper illumination on the pad or blank on which the cars are checked. The lamp 17 will give sufii cient light if connected to a proper battery as to permit the numbers on cars to be readily read and at the same time provide proper illumination in writing. Obviously slight modifications might be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I claim An illuminating attachment for pencils, comprising a body of rubber formed with a lateral extension having an opening there through adapted to receive a standard lead pencil and; to grip the sa mei frictionally whereby the body may be disposed at a desired point along the length of the pencil. a metallic threaded shell embedded within the body, a contact located at the center of the shell and embedded within the body,
conductors connected directly with the shell.
and contact respectively, and an incandesthe thumb of an operator whereby the body may be slid along the pencil.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my JOSEPH W. SAUNDERS.
