CLIP FOR WRITING INSTRUMENTS.
Application filed Mai-ch23, 1927. Serial No. 177,595.
This invention relates to a clip for attaching a writing instrument such as a pen or pencil to the garment, for carrying the same on the person, and to the method of making the same; and has for its object to provide a clip, the end portion of WlllCll is folded to form a hollow, completely closed sub-spherical formation.
lVith these and other objectsin view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevation showing a clip as attached to a writing instrument.
Figure 2 is a top plan View of a blank cut from sheet stock into a shape from which a clip is formed.
Figure 3 is a side elevation showing the clip after the first operation thereon to form the end cup shaped.
Figure 1 is a section on line 1-4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a side elevation showing the clip after the second operation with the cup formed deeper than that shown in Figure 3.
Figure 6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 5.
Figure 7 is a view showing the result of the fourth operation of slightly bending the end portion of the extending tongue towards the body.
Figure 8 is a side elevation after the fifth and last operation of rolling the tongue to meet the body and folding the ears to complete spherical formation. 7
Figure 9 is a central sectional view of Figure 8.
Figure 10 is a fragmental view showing the complete formation looking at right angles to the view shown in Figure 8.
Heretofore in the making of clips for fountain pens it has been found difficultto make a hollow completely closed spherical formation or ball on the end of the clip with a smooth surface on the ball for engaging the garment when holding the pen or pencil attached thereto, it being found most natural in the forming of such a hollow ball to cause three meetingedges to come together at the point of engaging the garment which is usually rough and abrading, and also it is found difficult to completely close the joints of a hollow ball-shaped formation of this type and in order to avoid these undesirable effects and to provide a ball which is comstock va body having ears adjacent its end with a tongue extending beyond the. ears, the tongue and ears being so shaped on the arcs of circles as to-come together close-1y after the drawing operation, it being found essential in order to form a perfect sphere that the end of the tongueimust be bent into its finished position by two distinct operations, the first operation being to partly bend the end ofthe tongue and the second operation to completelyroll the tongue into position and at the same time to fold inwardly the side ears; and the following is a detailed description showing one. means by accomplished. I
WVith reference to the drawing, 10 designates the body portion of the clip which is provided with attaching, laterally extending cars 11. at one end with wings 12 extending laterally from the body adjacent its end op posite and a tongue portion 13 projecting beyond the ears and being concaved as at 14 to cooperate with the convex portion 15 of the wingsto form a complete sphere when rolled into position.
, The first operation consists in. cutting from sheet stock a blank in the shape illustrated in Figure 2, then bending the attaching cars 11 at right angles to the body and at the same time drawing the wings 12 and tongue 13 and the adjacent body portion into a cup 16, as
illustrated in Figure 3. The third operation consists in drawing the cup deeper in form and correspondingly extending the length of the tongue, as illustrated in Figure 5. After this cup is thus formed it is found necessary in order that the ball maybe for-med pletely closed, I have blanked out of sheet which these advantageous results maybe perfectly spherical to interpose a separate I and additional operation of partially bending the extremity of the tongue 13 as at 17 shown in Figure 7, after which by suitable tools the tongue and wings 12 may be rolledinwardly to form a sphere as illustrated at 18, in Figure 8.
It will be noticed that the tongue 13 extends in a complete circle with its joints 19 at each side of a center line through the body and tongue whereby a smooth surface is presented to the garment and a. completely changes closed ball is formed to prevent the entrance of liquid or the like in finishiugthe clip.
It will also be noticed that by cupping the clip, the body 1.0 is in line with substantially thecenter of thejhollow ball to present an even syn'nnetrical; andmore finished appearance to the clip. After the clip has been formed it may be attached to. aiwriting in strument 20 by fixing a band 21 or the like about the writing instrumentwvhich issuitably pivotally attached to the ears 11 by a in 22 or in any'other desired manner.
'lheforegoing description is directed solely towards the construction illustrated, but I desireit to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mecluinical towhich the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
' 1. A uiethod'of forming a hollow-ball on the clip for writin instrument, which eonsists in blanking trom sheet stock a body portion having laterally extending wings and a tongue adjacentitsend,'the edges of which are respectively convexly and conwvelyjshaped to fit together drawing said wings, tongue and adjaeent body to form a cup,with thewings and tongue extending at right angles to the body, said tongue towards the body and subsefolding'the end of quently folding the said wings and tongue to form a complete; hollow substantially spherically shaped formation.
2. A methodof forming a hollow ball on the clip of a-writing instrument which consists in blanking from sheet stock a body portion having a narrow tongue concave on itsedges with wings of a shape to it said concaved edges extending laterally from the body adjacent said tongue, drawing said wings, tongue and adjacent body to form a cup, folding the end portion of said tongue and wiugsto complete a hollow sul'istantially spherical formation.
3. A clip for a. writing instrument comprising a sheet metal body portion having formations adapting it to be attached to a writing instrument, a plurality of parts at one end of the body folded together to form a sphere, the adjacent edges of said parts being respectively concave and convex to [it together and form tightly closed joints.
4. in a clip, for a writing instrument, a sheet metal body portion having at one end side wings and an extending tongue all folded together into a hollowsphere, the adjacent edgesof said wings and tongue being respectively concave and convex to it to getherand form a tightly closed joint.
In testimony whereof 1 allix my signature.
