`Patented 3,` 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COMBINATIN PEN AND PENCIL Application led August 27, 1927. Serial No. 215,894.
My present invention has reference to a writing instrument, my primary object being the provision of an instrument that combines a fountain pen and a pencil and which includes simple but extremely novel means for projecting a tubular container for the lead of the pencil beyond the pen oint, when the pencil is desired for use, an likewise novel means for retracting the pencil when the pen is to be used..
The improvement also resides in other novel features of construction, combination and opone satisfactory embodiment of which is disclosed by the accompanying drawings. e
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improve- Figure 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view therethrough on an enlarged scale. l Fi re 3 is a transverse sectional view ap proximately on the line 3-3 of Figure 2, upon an venlarged scale.
Figure 4 is a similar sectional view approximately on the line 1e- 4 of Fi re 2.
Figure 5 is a similar sectiona view approximately on the line 5--5 of Fi re 2.
Figure 6 is a bottom plan vlew of the cap.` Figure Z is an ap roximately central 1ongitudinal sectional view through the cap.l
In size and appearance my instrument resembles that of an ordinary fountain pen. Thebarrel of the pen is indicated by the numerai 1 and is, of course, hollow. ,The barrel, adjacent to one end thereof, has a transverse partition, 2 therein, and this partition pro vides a compartment for the ink containing well for the pen. The well 3 is in the nature of a compressible'sack and is substantially U-shaped in cross section. From the sack there leads a tube 4 directed through the barrel 1 and likewise through an opening in a partition 5 and into the feed channel or duct 6 in the feed block 7 for the pen 8. The feed block is, of course, let in the end of the barrel in the usual manner, and this end of the barrel is dared, and is threaded, as at 9, for engagement with the interior threads of a o low cap member l0. There is pivoted, as at 11,-in an opening in one side of the barrel 1, the connecting portion of the substantially U-shaped lever 12, the inner arm 13 of the said lever being of a greater lengthA than that of the outer arm and being in contactwith the ink sack and designed to compress the same when the outer arm of the lever is swung away from the barrel to create a suction for drawing ink through the duct or passage 6 and through the tube 4 into the sack for replenishing the supply of ink for the pen.
The end of the barrel provided with the compartment in which the ink sack is ar ranged is closed by a plug 14. Resting on this end and on the end of the barrel and on the plug there is the milled head 15 of a tubular member 16 that has the walls of its bore arranged right angularly with respect to each other for the reception of the squared head .17 of a threaded member in the nature of an elongated screw 18 which is guided through the member 16. The screw 18 passes throu h the threaded bore in the head portion 1% of a tubular member 20, the said tube being guided through an opening 5', the partition 5 and through an opening 7 arranged longitudinally through the feed block 7 for the pen'point 8 at one side of the duct or passage 6 thereof. The outer and reduced portion of the tube 20 is designed to receive therein a stick of lead 21 and this lead has its inner end contacted by a rod extension 22 on the screw 18.v
The head 19 of the tubular member 20 has connected thereto coil springs 23 which are likewise connected to suitable ears in the barrel 1. These springs normally influence the tube into the barrel so that the reduced end of the tube willbe arranged inwardly with respect to the point ot the pen 8, and consequently the instrument may be usually employed as a fountain pen.
As far as the description has progressed it will be noted that by turning the milled head 15 of the elementl the screw 18 will be likewise turned and moved through the threaded bore ofthe head 19 ci the tubularunember 20 so that its rod 22 will contact with the lead stick to project the same through the end of the tube to writing position and by this simltd i 27. This pinion has its teeth engaged by a rack on one of the arms of the U-shaped member or oke 29, the said arms of the yoke being su'ita ly guided in the barrel 1. The yoke has its connected portion formed with an extensionv 30, the sald'extension in turn is v formed with a head 31 that is received through ay guide or bearing'opening in one side of the barrel 1.
By pressing on the head 31 and imparting a longitudinal movement to the toothed yoke 29 a rotary motion will be imparted to the toothed wheel 24, and as the same engages the rack surface 23 on the tube 20, the said tube will be moved longitudinally and outwardly through the feed block 7 to arrange the lead in writing position. l
A,Qbviously the lead stick and tube must be sustained in an outward position when projected through the barrel in apmanner as previously described. To accomplish this the tube 20, on one side thereof, is thickened or formed with a lug 32, which is centrally notched and in this notch there is designed to be received the offset end 33 of a pivot'ally supported lever 34. A spring' 35 contacts with the lever" to force the end thereof into 4the notched block 32. The second end of the lever vis disposed at an angle which is directly opposite from the end 33 and on this end there is fixed a head or button 36 that passes through a suitable opening in one side of `he barrel 1. The lug 32 is beveled in opposite directions.' from the central notched portion of the 1ug,'so that when'the head or button 31 is'actuated to impart a longitudinal movement to the toothed or rack carry ing yoke 29 the end 33 ofv the lever 34 will ride over. one of the inclined surfaces and be projected into the notch in the lug 32 bythe spring 35, thus holding the tube 20 projectedv and the lead stick in Writing position. An inward pressure upon the head ora button 31 will bring the active or dog end 33 of the lever 34 outof the notch in the lug 32, permitting the' springs 23 to return the tube and the lead therein to inward and initial position.
The cap 10 has its sides, from its outer end, provided with spaced openings that aiford pockets for lead sticks 37 for replenishing the lead supply to the tube 20. The pockets are normally closed by a cover plate 38 which has beveled or wedge grooves in the side walls of a central notch or opening in the outer end of the cap 10, as best disclosed by Figure 6 of the drawings.
The improvement is of a comparatively intese? simple nature and provides an instrument that will obviate the necessity of ay clerk or other person employing two separate instruments for pencil writing and for ink Writing. The construction as herein set forth is only one of anumber of satisfactory embodiments of my improvement and obviously l do not wish to be restricted to the details thereof. Therefore, it is to be understood that l hold myself entitled t'o make such changes therefrom as fairly fall within the scope of what I claim.

2. In a writing instrumenathe combination of a fountain pen having a feed block for a pen, said block having a longitudinal opening therethrough, of a lead carrying tube movable through said opening and into the barrel of thel pen, spring means normally holding the tube in the barrel, means operable fromthe exterior of the barrel for projecting the tube therethrough, means .also operable from the exterior of the barrel for locking the tube when so projected and means operable from one end of the pen for adjusting the lead stick in the tube.
