Description
Dec. 17, 1929. BODEE 1,740,063
' BLOTTING DEVICE Filed Oct. 17, 1927 Fa ten-teal Dec. 17. 1929 UNITED STATES GEORGE P. BOD-LEE, DES MOINES, IOWA BLOTTING DEVICE Application filed October 17, 1927. Serial No. 226,676.
The principal object of this invention is to provide an improved blotting device for blotting ink written signatures and the like.
More specifically, the object of this invention is to provide a small bracket designed to be secured to an ink pen at one of its ends and its other end capable of holding a piece of blotting paper.
A further object is to'provide a blotting device that is instantly available for blotting signatures and the like.
A still further object is to provide a blot ting device capable of easy removal or replacement. of the blotting member.
A still further object is to provide a blotting device that is economical in manufacture, durable in use, and one that can be instantly attached or detached from an ordinary pen.
These and other objects will be apparent 2G to those skilled in the art.
My invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in
which:
Fig. 1 is a side view of my invent-ion secured to an ordinary ink pen ready for use.
Fig. 2 is an end View of the device taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1 and more fully illustrates its construction.
Fig. 3 is an end view of the device in use with the pen to which it is secured in section.
Fig. 4: is a side view of an ordinary pen with my device secured thereon and illustrates its position when in use.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the bracket member of the device.
The necessity of blotting signatures by the present method is not only tiresome,but an economic waste of time. After signing the signature, the pen must be laid down and usually, a search for a blotter conducted. After the blotter is available, both hands are required to use it andsuccessfully blot the signature. This necessary procedure can be tolerated when only one signature is required to be blotted, but when there are many signatures, it becomes a nuisance that is costly in both time and labor, I have overcome these disadvantages as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
I have designated the ordinary pen by the numeral 10 with which the signature or writing is placed upon the paper 11. It is to this pen 10 that I secure my blotting device. This device comprises mainly, a piece of blotting paper, asbestos or other suitable absorbent material which I have designated by the numeral 12, and a. bracket for yieldingly securing the same to the pencomprising two side members 13 and 14, as shown in Fig. 5. These twoside members may be held together by spot welding, riveting, or the like and can be made of any suitable light material. The lower end of this bracket member is formed into an embracing member 15 by having one of the ends of the sides 13 and 1 1 bent in a' circular path for yieldingly engaging the pen 10, as shown in Fig. 1.- By this construction, the device can easily be attached to'or detached from an ordinary pen instantly. The
opposite end of the bracket member is byforked as shown in Figs. 1 and 5 and because of the two side members 13 and 14 that comprise the bracket, form two clip members 16 and 17 designed to receive and frictionally engage and hold the blotting paper 12, as shown in the drawings. By this arrangement, when the blotting paper 12 becomes unduly soiled, it can be easily removed and a new one inserted. It should here be noted that the bracket does not extend exactly in a lateral plane from the axis of the pen but isbent slightly to the left and then directly outwardly, as shown in Fig. 3, in order that when the device is used, the pen 10 will be slightly held away from the paper upon which the signature was placed. This allows the thumb of the signer to remain normally under the pen and also prevents the ink from the pen point from coming in undesired contact with the paper. Integrally formed on each of the sides 13 and 14 is a projection 18 designed to make contact with the index finger when the pen is being used,-for -preventing the weight of my device from rotating the pen while writing with the same.
To blot a signature or the like written by the pen 10, it is merely necessary to rotate the same to the left by the thumb and index finger until the blotter 12 is adjacent the writing, as shown in Fig. 3, at the same time putting pressure on the upper surface of the blotter 12 with the left hand. Thus it will readily be seen that to blot the writing with my device it is unnecessary to remove the hand from the pen and that the blotting procedure is very accurate and rapid.
Another advantage of my device secured to a pen, prevents the pen from rolling from the desk and holds it in a position where it may easily be grasped for instant use.
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of my improved blotting device without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention and it is my intention to cover by my claims any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
I claim: Y
1. In a device of the class described, a bracket member designed to have one end secured to a pen and its other end designed to be secured to ablotting member, and a projection on said bracket member designed to engage the index finger of the writer when the device is in use.
.2. In a device of the class described, a
bracket member designed to have one end secured to a writing pen and its other end designed to besecured to a blotting member, and a projection secured to said bracket member at a point between its two ends.
GEORGE P. BODEE.
