  • the numeral 1 indicates a barrel in which is movably mounted a pen ibody comprising a sleeve 4 which encloses the ink reservoir 5, and has at its front end a connecting sleeve 18 and a nib holding piece 2 carried thereby, the nib 3 being engaged between said sleeve and holding piece,
  • the mouth of barrel 1 is closed by means of a wing 6 pivoted at 16 at one side of the mouth of said barrel, and the barrel 1 has a longitudinal slot 8 while the sleeve 4 has a transverse pin 17 projecting through said slot Sand carrying a knob 7 for the manipulation of said pen body, for the purpose of effecting retraction of the nib into and its projection out of the barrel 1.
  • the closure ,6 is yieldably urged by the action of a spring, not shown, towards its closed position, and it is engaged and opened by the piece 2 at the time the pen body is moved to project the nib to its outer position.
  • Means are provided for compressing vthe reservoir 5, .which is of soft rubber, for the purposey of filling it with ink, said means comprising the usual member (not shown) which extends through sleeve 4 and barrel 1 for its manipulation.
  • Said passage 9 is controlled by a rotatable disk valve 10 having a port 11 adapted to register with said passage 9 when the disk valve 10 is in a given position, while in another angular position of said disk valve the port 11 is out of register with respect to the passage 9 and the feeding of ink from the reservoir 5 through the passage 9 ⁇ and to the nib 3 is prevented.
  • Said disk valve 10 is fixed for rotation with the extension 12 of a stem 12 which is mounted to rotate in a central bore of the nib holding piece 2, and said stem 12 has an outwardly, laterally extending finger 13 the end of which extends into a. groove 14 provided in the inner surface of the barrel A1.
  • the said groove 14 extends on a nearly helical line so as to cause the finger 13 to be swung and thus, edect rotation of the stem 12, and the angular movement of the disk valve ⁇ 10 around the axis of said stem when the pen body 4 with the nib 3 and parts 18 and 2 are'moved longitudinally within the barrel 1, the respective size of the parts and shape of the said groove being such as to cause the port 11 to move from a closed to an open position, or vice-versa', on the pen body being moved longitudinally by the manipu-y .lation of the knob 7- through the extent rei j position 'or' to retract it into its inactive position.
  • the disk valve 10' is fixed for rotation with the stem 12 by forming the extension 12 of said stem 12 ofrnon-circular shape in cross section and said disk valve is held in contact with the outer end of the nib holding piece 2l by a spring 15 which is located within the sleeve 18 and engaged between said disk valve 10 and a head 19 upon the extension of the stem.
  • the knob 7 When it is desired to close the pen, the knob 7 is grasped and moved longitudinally ofthe barrel to retract the sleeve 4f and nib 3 into the barrel 1, whereupon the end. of the finger 13 is caused to slide along the groove 14; and as the sleeve 4 and associated parts are j prevented from rotating with respect to barrel 1 by the engagement of the finger pin 17 in the slot 8 of the barrel.
  • the finger 13 is given angular movement with respect to the part 2 and the pen body, and thus the stem and disk valve 1,0 are rotated so that the port 11 of the said disk valve is moved out of registration with respect to the assage 9 and this passage is thus closed by the disk valve, under the pressure of spring 15.
  • the pen barrel is indicated by 1 and has a closure 6 adaptedto close its mouth.
  • the pen bodyfi is mounted to reciprocate in the said barrel, the said pen body having an end sleeve 18 in which the nib carrier,2 and nib 3 are held, thesaidbody also including anink reservoir 5 and theusual member 20 for compressing said reservoir which Iisof soft rubber, by means of a manipulating member (not shown) to fill said reservoir with ink. i.
  • a disk valve'10 held against the'4 nib carrier' 2 by a spring 15 which abuts against a shoulder 18' on the sleeve 18.
  • Said disk valve 10 is fixed upon a square head 12 provided upon a stem 12 rotatable in the carrier 2 and havin a transverse finger' 1? mounted to move 1n atransverse slot 21 in the nib carrier 2, the outer end of said finger engaging a spiral groove 14 formed in the inner surface of barrel 1.
  • Said'groove 14 is provided at its outer end, with an enlarged or flaring portion 22 adjacent to the forward ,end of the Abarrel 1, the forward end of said'ared portion 22 having the same span as the slot 21 of the nib vcarrier 2 (see Fig. 6).
