My invention relates to new and useful improvements in lead pencils and more particularly to a mechanical pencil of that typeemploying a plunger forpropelling a lead and 5 provided with a magazine for holding eXtra leads. f' f n v Among the objects of my invention are to provide aconstruction wherein the pencil casing is composed .'of sectionsgwhich may ybe is readilyseparated Vfor the introduction of leads to the lead magazine or for yplacing a casing in such a manner that the lead maga'- zine isexposed 'ands'o that a new lead'may:

` Figure 5 1s a section on lline 5-5 of Fig' Brel.. i l56() lncarrying out Vmy invention I provide a casing formed of the cylindrical section 1 and the conical section 2 which are connected by the sleeve 3, thatend of the sleeve extending within the end of the section lbeingsoldered `65 or secured thereto in any other lsuitable manner and that section extending into` the secvtion 2 being eXter-iorly threaded to engage inf terior threads formed the large end of the section 2. That end of the sleeve which isin y70 the section lis interiorly beveled,as shown4 lat 4, fora purpose whichv will Vappear as thev description proceeds, and the outeror small receive the threaded shank 5 of a tip ,6 Which is provided with ridges as shown in thepatent -to Keeran No. 1,151,016. The end of the section 2, connected to the sleeve, is provided ywith a bead 7 which aids in concealing the `l joint between the two sections. Av guide tube 8 'issecured in the conical section 2 by `mea-ns .of a washer 9 which is secured to both the i tube and interior ofthe section, and as shown, the inner end of the tube is exteriorly beveled and secured to the interior of the section at-85 10. The parts are preferably secured by soldering or may be secured in any other suit-y able .mannen rlhe inner end, -of the guide tube extends within the sleeve 3 and is interiorlybeveled as shown at 11 to form a `guide 9o vforthe insertion of a lead aswell as to positionthe'propelling plunger rod, to be later Secured within theopposite end of the section lis a sleeve 12 having ythe arm 13 ofa spring clip 14 secured thereto by soldering or other means, said arm of the spring clip Abeing received in a slot formed in the section of the casing. Adjacent the ,outer end the' @leere @las e @011er l5 Spun @haar adartedruo to be received in a groove formed around the exterior of a cap 16, such connection allowing f `the cap to be rotated with respect tothe sleeve.
A washer 17 is received in the cap and forms an abutment for the inner end of an eraser 18 which is held in the cap by the in-turned edge 19 which embeds itself in the eraser.
The cap 16 has a longitudinal bore which receives the end of a tube 20 having interior screw threads 21 rolled therein, said tube being connected to turn with the cap. Secured Within the section 1, of the casing, intermediate the ends and spaced from the inner end of the threaded tube 20, is a collar 22 forming a support for the inner ends of the sections 23 and 24 of a'plunger tube. The section 23 of the plunger tube extends through the threaded tube 2O and has a slot 25 formed therein to receive the offset portion 26 of a plunger rod 27 ,the oflset portion having notches 28 therein to receive the threads 21 of tube 20. The outer end of the section 24, of the plunger tube, `is received in the beveled end 11 of the guide tube 8 and the plunger rod 27 is adapted to extend through the sections 23 and 24 of the plunger tube and enter the guide tube 8 to propel a lead through the guide tube and tip 6. An extension 29 is formed on the olfset portion 26, of the plunger rod, and operates in the plunger tube. rlhis extension is adapted to engage the washer 17 and force the eraser from the cap 16. It will be understood that it will be desirable to force the eraser from the cap as it becomes worn so that the eraser may be used substantially its en- -tire length. The pencil lead in position to be propelled is shown as 30 and the extra leads are'shown at 31.
' Having fully described the detailed construction, it is thought that the manner of using as well as the advantages will be clearly understood. With the parts assembled as shown in the drawings the lead 30 within the 'guide tube 8 is adapted to be propelled by means of the plunger rod 27. The lead will be propelled through the tip 6 and will be held within said tip against rotary movement, in the manner shown in the patent to Keeran above referred to. When it is desired to propel the lead, the cap 16 will be rotated and in turn will rotate he threaded tube 20. The notches 28, in the offset portion 26, of the plunger rod 27, engage the threads in the tube 20, as previously described, and therefore, when the threaded tube is rotated the plunger rod 27 will be slid longitudinally within the sections 23 and 24 of the plunger tube. The said plunger rod enters the guide tube 8, engages the inner end of the lead 30, and therefore propels the lead when operated. By reversing the operation the extension 29, on the offset portion 26, of the plunger rod 27, will engage the washer 17, in the cap, and force the eraser 18 from the cap.
1 of the casing and theirmovement therein Will be limited by the collar 22. The extra leads will surround the section 24 of the plunger tube and space is provided preferably for twelve extra leads, although, of course, it will be understood that by increasing or decreasing the space any number of extra leads might be held. l/Vhen it is desired to insert a new lead in the guide tube 8, the conical section2, of the casing, is disengaged from the threaded end of the sleeve 3. By inclining the cylindrical section 1, the extra leads 31 will pass through the sleeve 3 and one lead may be removed and placed into the guide tube 8. The beveled end 4 of the sleeve 3 acts to guide the extra leads through said sleeve. After the extra lead has been placed in the guide tube 8 the conical section 2 will again be engaged with the sleeve 3. Of course, it will be understood that in order to insert a new lead the cap 16 must be rotated in reverse direction to the propelling movement so as to draw the plunger rod 27 from the end of the guide tube 8. Y By beveling the end of the guide tube 8 as shown at 11 the lead will be guided into the tube.
1n Figures 3 and 4 I have illustrated a slightly modified form of inventionv inwhich the casing is made up of the cylindrical section 32 and conical section 33 connected by a sleeve 34. That end of the sleeve 34 extending into the conical section 33 is soldered to that section, whereas that end which enters the cylindrical section 32 is exteriorly threaded to engage interior threads in the section.
The sleeve 34 is interiorly beveled from the threaded end as shown at 35 for a purpose which will later appear. A guide tube 36 is carried in the conical section 33 and has one end received in the sleeve 34, said end being interiorly beveled as shown at 37 and forming a kcontinuation of the bevel 35 of the sleeve. The opposite end of the guide tube 36 is exteriorly beveled and connected to the interior of the section 33 at 38, the end of the section 33 being interior-ly threaded to receive the threaded shank 39 of the tip 40. rl`he tip will be provided with ridges such as described inthe preferred form of the invention and shown in the patent to Keeran'previously referred to. A bead 41 is formed on the end of the conical section 33 and aids to hide the joint at the point where the two sections are connected.
Secured within the opposite end of the section 32 is a sleeve 42 to which is soldered, or otherwise secured, the arm 43 of a spring clip 44. The arm 43 is received in a slot formed in the section 32. The section 32 has a collar 45 spun adjacent its outer end and the collar is adapted to be receivedin a groove 46 formed in the exterior of a cap 47. The cap has a recess formed in its outer end to receive an eraser 49 and the inner end is provided with a projection 50 to which is seplunger rod 58.
