N0 154 932,4 Patented Sept.8,1874.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD VOM Bonnot NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN PEN-HOLDERS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,932, dated September 8, 1874 application filed March 5, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD VOM Horn,
vthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this speciiication, in which draw- 111g- Figure l represents a side view of this invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.
Similar lettersl indicate corresponding parts.
This invention is designed as an improvement upon pen-holders, such as are provided at one end with a holder to receive a pen, while at its other end is secured a pencil or tip; which features, being old and well known in pen-holders having a rubber shank, are hereby disclaimed, since thel rubber shank is both costly and heavy, and, furthermore, admits of the pen, when dropped, striking upon its point, and thus injuring the same. To
. overcome such objections, and to produce a cheap and tight pen-holder, is the object of my invention, Which consists in a pen-holder the shank of which is formed of two pieces of quills of a goose or other bird, which sections are united vat their thick ends, the thick end of one section serving to support the holder, while the end of the other section is provided with a balance-tip of ivory or other suitable material, in such av manner that a neat, durable, and exceedingly light pen-holder is produced, which can be used with particular advantage for gold pens, since the holder is to a certain extent balanced bythe tip, and, if the holder drops down, the pen is not liable to become injured.
In the drawing, the letter A designates they shank of my pen-holder, which is, by prefer# ence, made of two sections, a b, ot' the quills of a goose, or of another bird having quills of the proper size. These two sections are joined together at their thick ends, as shown at c in the drawing, and to the thin end of the section b is secured the holder B, which is made of sheet metal or any suitable material, in the shape generally used for this purpose. The thin end of the section a is provided with a tip, d, of ivory or other suitable material; or, if desired, a pencil-tip may be fastenedv to said thin end, and this tip is made of such a weight that it forms a counter-balance to the pen and pen-holder secured to the opposite end of the shank A. The body of this shank, being composed of quills of birds, is exceedingly light, so that, when my pen-holder is stuck on the ear, it is not liable to drop off; and, if said pen-holder drops down from a table or otherwise, the pen secured in it is not liable to become injured, since the weight of the tip partly balances that of the pen and of the holder, and the holder is, therefore, not liable to turn the point of the pen downward in dropping.
My pen-holder presents aneat appearance, and, ou account of its great lightness, it is exceedingly convenient for the writer.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The quill-sections a b, connected together at their thick ends to form the shank A, in combination'with the holder B and counterbalance-tip d., all constructed in the manner herein shown, for the purpose specified.
