FOUNTAIN-PEN DESK SET. Y
Application filed June 11,
This inventionl relates to a combined pen support, calendar and receptacle, vand has for one of its objects the provision of a desk article which will serve the purpose of a pen or pencil holder, a perpetual calendar and a receptaclefor cigarettes or other artic-les.
A further object ofthe invention is to provide a desk set which shall be attractivein appearance, convenient in use, and of improved construction and operation.
Other objects and advantages will appear from the following description. e
The invention is exemplified in the combination and arrangement of parts shown in the accompanying drawing and described in the following specilication, and it is more particularly pointed out in the appended claims. j
YInthe drawing- Fig. 1 is a top planv -view of a device ein-l bodying one form of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation kof the ldevice shown in Fig. 1, withV parts broken away;
Fig. 3 is an end view of the device shown. in Figs. 1 and 2; j
Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line 4 4 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 2. v
Fig. 6 is a sectional plan view yof the broken away portion of the hingedv cover and the I parts removably attached thereto; and
Fig. 7 is an enlarged sectional plan view of certa1n details.
The desk setcomprises a housing ymember v 1() which maybe made of sheet metal or othery suitablematerial and which is provided with an arcuate ori semi-cylindrical cover 11 hingedat 12 to the base portion 10.v Theend walls of the base carry laterally extending sleeves or collars 13 `which pivotally Vsupport pen or pencil sockets 14. The sockets 14 are provided with j ournalsv 15 rotatably mounted within the bearing collars 13 and held in place by retainer plates 16 secured to the ends of the journals 15 by screws 17. The journals 15 are transversely perforated to receive springs 18 and detent balls 19. A
forations'opposite the balls19 by which the pressure on the springs 18 may be adjusted. The inner face of the collar 13 is provided with spaced depressions 21 which are engaged by the ball 19 to retain the sockets 14 in different angular positions, as indicated in Fig. 3. The position of the socket 14 shown 1927. serial No. 198,020.
in full lines in'Fig. 3 is the operative position in'which the pen or pencil is normally held. lVhen it is desired to place the'set in a drawer or othershallow receptacle, the socket member 14 may be moved to the broken line position shown in Fig. A3. Inthis position the end of the pen or pencil will be lowered to a point no higher than the top of the cover 11,7but the pen will remain in inclined position so that the ink will gravitate toward the point of the pen. Two sockets are shown, one at each endof the set. These may be used for pens having different colored inks, or one may be used for a pen and thek other for a pencil. f f
An adj ustable calendar is supported withinthe cover 11 and is mounted on a framec-omprising endpba-rs 22 and cross-bars 23 and 24. The bars 22 are widened at their forward ends,'as indicated'at 25, and carry a shaft 26 having the ends supported in the enlarged portions 25. Character wheels 27, 28, 29 and 30 are journaled onthe shaft 26 and veach wheel has a pinion 31 Xed thereto. Rearwardly extending shaft-s 32 are 'journaled in the cross-bars 23 and 24 and each shaft carries a pinion 33 which `meshes with one of the pinions 31. Knurled knobs or fingerpieces 34 are threaded on the endsy of the shafts 32 so that by rotating the fingerfpieces' the character Lwheels 27, 28, 29 and 30 may be adjusted. These wheels carry suitable characters for indicating months of the year, days of the month, and days of the week, respectively. It will be apparent that byv properly adjusting the knobs 34, the calendar formed by thefcharacter wheels may be setto indi-V cate any vdesired dat-e. y
shafts. This permits the framewhich supports the calendar to move into position in which it is secured by screws 35 'extending throughthe ends of the cover member. a Two vided with'openings which aline with openscrews are inserted at diagonally opposite A screw 2O is threaded into the ends of the perings in the end 22. Y After the screws 35 are in place the closure plate 36 is-insertedfand screws 38 are then extended throughthe ears 37 into the remaining corners of the frame for the calendar. Openings are provided in the front of the cover 11 through which the characters on the character Wheels are visible. A knob 39 is provided for lifting the lid 1l when desired. A receptacle 40 which may be of glass or other suitable material is placed Within the base 'l0 and may be used 'for holding cigarettes or any other articles, desired.
That the adjustable calendar is removably mounted in the cover 11 may be more readily understood by referring to Figs. 6 and 7. The frame of the adjustable calendar comprises end bars 22 and cross-bars 23 and 24 permanently connected together' at 4l. into one rigid trame. The end bars 22 are provided with screw-threaded openings for rcceiving the screws 42 and 43 which are inserted through holes or perforations in the end Walls of the cover 11. The knobs 34 are screw-threaded onto the ends of the shafts 32 which project through openings or perforations in the rear of the cover 1l, as shown lin Figs. 1 and 4. By unscrewing the knobs 34 from the ends of the shafts 32 and removing the screws 42 and 43, the adjustable calendar may be entirely removed from the cover Whenever desired.
It should also be understood that the closure plate 36 is provided with upwardly projecting ears 37 at the opposite ends thereof, preferably in a diagonal relation as shown in Fig. 3. The ears 37 are adapted to t into rectangular recesses as illustratedat- 44 in Fig. 7 and are provided with screw-threaded openings to receive the screw 43. One of the ears 37 occupies the position shown in Fig. 6 and the other ear 37 Will be located at the other end of the closure plate 36 but opposite the screw 42 shown in Fig. 6 so as to have the dia onal relation illustrated in Fig. 3. lt Wil thus be seen that When the calendar frame is adjusted in position in the cover 11 Where the screw-threaded openings in the end bars 22 and in the ears 37 will register with the openings or perforations in the end walls of the cover 11, the screws 42 and 43 may be used to secure in position not only the adjustable calendar, but also the closure plate 36. After thus assembling the mechanism in its operating position the knobs 34 may be screwed back into place and used for turning the various wheels shown.
I claim 1. In combination, a receptacle, an arched cover for said receptacle, a frame removably held within said cover, a shaft mounted in said frame, character Wheels separately journaled on said shaft, spindles geared to said character wheels and extending through said cover to points outside of said cover, and

6. In combination, an arched coverfor a receptacle, a frame structure, character Wheels journaled in said frame, means mounted in said frame for rotating the character Wheels, and means for securing said frame with said wheels and rotating means thereon as a separateunit to said cover in position to cause the characters on said Wheels to appear through openings in said cover.
7. In combination, a receptacle, a cover therefor, an indicator unit comprising a frame with character Wheels mounted therein and means for operating the same, and means for securing such unit to said cover with the characters on the wheels appearing through openings in the cover.
8. In combination, a receptacle, a cover therefor, an indicator unit comprising character wheels, a closure plate for conlining said unit within a recess in said cover, and common means for securing both said unit and said closure plate to said cover.
