UNITED STATES ROSS F. GEORGE, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

PEN.

Application filed May 25, i922. Serial No. 563,648.

My invention relates to an .improvement in pens, and more especially to pens of the character used in lettering and show card writing.

Heretofore pens adaptable for show lard writing have been produced, but, while of great practical value in Athe art of show card writing, have been found not entirely satisfactory. Such pens usually have a body or point upon which is secured a feeder adapted to hold a supply of ink and feed the ink to the point.

iVith the present style of pen, it is found that when a heavy stroke is made involving a` spread of the nibs the feeder tends to catch between the nibs and prevents their closing at the completion of the stroke, with the result that the stroke is spoiled and frequently results in releasing excess ink and causing al blot. Further, a small amountof ink collects between the edges of the feeder and the pen point, which, being of small quantity, tends to dry and cake, cutting oil the ink supply to the edges of the point and resulting in imperfect lines.

My invention has for its" object the production of a. pen so constructed as to insure non-interference between the feeder and the nibs and to prevent the caking of ink tending to cut olf the supply of ink to the edges of the point.

Having now indicated. in a general way, the nature, purpose and advantages of my invention, I will proceed to a detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. l is a perspective view of a pen embodying my invention.

F ig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View of the pen shown in Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the pen shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. et is a fragmentary view of a modification of my invent-ion.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view of a further modification of my invention.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view of a further modification of my invention.

Fig. 7 is av fragmentary view of a further modification of my invention.

Referring to Figures 1 3: The pen point a is formed with the usual body portion and nibs l). There are preferably three nibs, square at the ends, and bent up for a short distance from the ends as at e. The feeder (Z termediate between band e and its free endv which extends to a point adjacent the ends of the nibs of the pen. The feeder for a certain distance back from this end is substantially in contact with the back of the pen in order to spread the ink flowing from the well to the nibs. The end of the feeder is rounded and the edge turned up as at y. The sides of the feeder are turned up for a spa-ce from the end as at 71..

Referringto Figure el: The ends of the nibs o are ilat and may be cut at an angle, the end of the feeder d being in parallelism with the end of the nibs, while its edges adjacent the end are turned up as at 1.

Referring to Figure 5: The ends of the nibs b2 areflat and may be square-'or eut at an angle, the end of the feeder being in parallelism with the ends of the nibs and the end and sides turned up as shown at j and 7c', respectively.

Referring to Figure (i: The ends of the nibs b3 are flat and may be square or cut at an angle, while the end of the feeder rounded as at Z and the edges adjacent the end are turned up as at 702. l

Referring to Figure 7: The nibs o* are flat and may be square or cut at an angle, while the end of the feeder is rounded as at m and the portion adjacent the end is flat.

By virtue of thus rounding` the end of the feeder, and it may be understood that cutting olf the square corners is the equivalent of rounding, when the nibs are spread in a heavy stroke the tendency for the feeder to catch in the nibs is eliminated. Further, by the turning up of the sides of the feeder adjacent its end, the tendency of the feeder' to catch is eliminated, and space is provided between the edges of the feeder and pen point for the collection of a sufficient quantity of ink to resist drying. It will befunderstood that in referring` herein to turning up of the sides or end of the feeder, I mean to include rounding or Hanging, and in referring to rounding I mean to include rounding in a vertical as well as a horizontal direction.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

l. A pen comprising a pen point slit to form nibs and provided with :L feeder overlying the point and adapted in conjunction with the point to form e reservoir for ink between the pen point and feeder, the feeder' adjacent .its delivery end being in Contact with the pen point between its side edges and having e side edge port-.ion out of contact therewith.

2. A pen comprisingr u, pen point slit to forni nibs and provided with e feeder adepted in conjunction with the pen point toforni e reservoir for ink between the pen point and feeder, the feeder being formed adjacent its delivery end so :is to have :L relatively flat central portion in contact Iwith the pen point and e side edge portion out of Contact therewith.

3. A pen comprising;A ai pen point slit to forni nibs and provided with u, feeder udapted in conjunction with the pen point to forni e, reservoir for inl; between the pen point and feederr` the feeder adjacent its delivery end having e relatively liet cei'itrel portion and turned up side edge portions.

4. A pen coniprisiner e pen point slit to forni nibs and priivided with u feeder adepted in conjunction with the pen point to forin a reservoir for inl; between the pen point I and feeder, the feeder adjacent its end heving n, relatively Het central portion in contact with the pen point and having upturnet flanges fornied at its side edges,

5. A pen coinprisingrr u pen point having nibs and e feeder superimposed on the point :rnd adapted in conjunction therewith, to form u reservoir for ink between the pen point und feeder, the delivery end of the feeder being` rounded and the side edges thereof adjacent said end beingturned up.

6. A pen comprising e pen point having nibs and :L lfeeder superimposed on the point :ind adapted in conjunction with the pen point to form a4 reservoir for link between the pen point and feeder, the delivery end of the feeder and the. sideaedges thereof Vadjacent its end being turned up.

7. A pen comprising u pen point having nibs :ind e feeder superimposed on t-he point and adapted in conjunction therewith to forni e reservoir for ink between the pen point and feeder, the delivery end of the feeder beinev rounded :ind flanged :ind the side edges thereof adjacent seid Vend also being:y flanged.

8. A. pen comprising e point hevinnibs the ends of which are zit en angle :rnd turned up end a feeder superimposed on the point and adapted in conjunction with the point to forni e reservoir for ink between the pen point und feeder, the end of the feeder and the side edges thereof adjacent the delivery end being' turned up.

A pen comprising e pen point slit to forni nibs and provided with e feeder adepted in conjunction with the pen point to form' ay reservoir for ini: between the pen point and feeder, the feeder adjacent its end hevinp; e relatively dat. central portion in con-V tact with the pen point and havingr an up-V wardly extending edge flange ext-ending around the delivery end of the feeder from points onl its side edges adjacent its end and confori'i'inml to the contour thereof.

l0. A pen comprising e point lnrvlngr` nibs the ends of which ure et an angle and turned up end ay feeder superimposed on the point end adapted .in conjunction with the point to form e reservoir for ink between the pen point and feeder, the side edges of the feeder adjacent its delivery end being' turned up.

In testimony of which invention, I have hereunto set my hand, at Philtder.7 Penna., on this 9th dey of Mey, 1922.
