VANGELES, OF SAN LEONARDO, MUEVA ECYA, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS MAGAZINE PENCIL Application filed December 27, '1929. Serial 110,416,922.

This invention relates to a combined pen and pencil and has for an object the provision of means for combining a pen andpencil in a singleunit so that either may be used as desired.

Another object of the invention is the pro-.

vision of a pencil of the magazine type which may contain leads of different color or character with novel means for arranging a de-' sired type of lead in position for use.

' Another object of the invention is theprovision of a fountain pen and magazine pencil unit having means for detachably connecting,- the same and for utilizing the bar- 5 rel of the pencil to enclose the filler element of the pen.

With theabove and other objects in view,

the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illus- 'trated inthe accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure l is an elevation of a combinedpen and pencil unit constructed in accordance with the invention, the cap of the pen being shownin section.

Figure 2 is, a longitudinal sectional View the lead carriers Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a magazine pencil and 11 a fountain pen, detachably connected so as to provide a unitary article. Forthis purpose, the

barrel of the pencil and the barrel of the pen are detachably connected as indicated at 12 so that the pen may be filled with ink and the leads of the pencil renewed.

- pencil barrel.

1 there are also three lead carriers.

.and telescopically arranged as shown in Fig- Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged sections The barrel of the pencil is of sectional formation and includes a rotatable section 13 -and a relatively stationary section 14." This stationary section includes a sleeve 15 which is provided at one end with an inwardly turned flange 16. This flange engages a shoulder 17 provided upon the rotatable section 13 so that the latter may be freely rotated and may also be moved longitudinally.

The bore of the barrel 13 is tapered and 1 communicates with the tapered bore of the outer end of nose 18 of the'pencil, the latter being detachably connected to the barrel 13.

. This bore is also interiorly threaded as shown at 19. I a 651i;

Therelatively stationary section 14 of the pencil carries guides 20. Theseguides are arranged at an angle with respect to one another and their inclination conforms to the taper of the bore of the section 13 of the These guides accommodate lead carriers 21 and as three guides are shown The carriers 21 may also beof sectional formation ure 8 of the drawings, the outer section 21 of the lead carrier. being longitudinally split and frictionally engaging. within the other section so'asto grip and hold thelead against movementindependent of the carrier.

Each ofthe' lead carriers 21 is provided with a longitudinally disposed lug 22 and this lugis notched as indicated at 23toreceive the threads 19 of the rotatable section 13 of the pencilbarrel. Thelugs 22 are also provided with eyes or sockets 24; which removablyreceive the inwardly extending extremities of latches 25. Theselatches are provided with eyes 26 which receive slide bars 27 and the latter are mounted for sliding movement longitudinally of the pencilbarrel withinguide grooves 28. These grooves are defined by plates 29 which cooperate withthe walls offrecesses formed in the relatively stationary section 1410f the pencil barrel. The plates-29 are slotted as shown at30 for the passageof finger pieces31 which form a part of the latches 25. f

.Asipreviouslystated, the pencil accommo dates threejlcadj holders,.whichpreferably 11(12 1 hold leads of different color, for example, red, blue and black. While it is primarily the intention to utilize differently colored leads, it is obvious that leads of the same color but of different degrees of hardness may be used in the pencil.

Normally, the lead holders 21 may be retracted and held in retracted position through engagement of the latches 2% within the eyes or sockets 24 of the lugs 22. In this position, the ends of the plates 29 bear upon the latches so as to prevent their disengagement from the eyes of the lugs. \Vhen it is desired to project one of the leads through the end of the pencil for use, the latch 25 of the particular lead selected is moved outward through the finger piece 31. In this position the latch may be disengaged from the lug. The end of the lug which has been moved outward enters the adjacent end of the bore of the rotatable section 13, so that upon rotation of this section the threads of the bore will enter the notch 23 and cause the lug to travel outward and carry with it the lead carrier. The carrier will thus be held in position until retracted by reverse rotation of the section 13.

The barrel 11 of the pen is provided with an ink reservoir 32 within which is located a suction element 33. This suction element has secured thereto a stem 34 which eXends from the end of the pen barrel into a chamber 35 defined by the relatively stationary section 14 of the pencil barrel. This stem 34 is normally forced outward by means of a spring 36.

When it is desired to fill the ink reservoir, the pen barrel is disconnected from the pencil barrel and the point of the pen is submerged in ink, the suction element 33 having previously been forced inward through pressure upon the stem 34. \Vhen pressure is released, the spring 36 will move the suction element outwardly so that the ink will be drawn into the reservoir 32.

Also, when it is desired to fill the pencil with leads, the pen and pencil barrels are dis connected so that the leads and their holders may be inserted within the guide 20.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. In a pencil, a barrel including an interiorly threaded rotatable section and a relatively stationary section, means to slidingly connect said sections, a plurality of longitudinally disposed individual lead carriers, 3, guide for each carrier, a thread engaging element rigid with each carrier and normally spaced from the threaded section of the barrel, and means engageable with the thread engaging elements to hold the latter in inactive position, or selectively move said elements to thread engaging position, whereby rotation of the rotatable section of the barrel will project a lead carrier outward.

2. In a pencil, a barrel including an interiorly threaded rotatable section and a relatively stationary section, means to slidingl connect said sections, a plurality of longitudinally disposed individual lead carriers, a guide for each carrier, a thread engaging element rigid with each carrier and normally spaced from the threaded section of the barrel, means engageable with the thread engaging elements to hold the latter in inactive position, or selectively move said elements to thread engaging position, whereby rotation of the rotatable section of the barrel will project a lead carrier outward, and means to prevent disengagement of the thread engaging element holding means.

3. In a pencil, a barrel including an in teriorly threaded rotatable section and a relatively stationary section, means to slidingly connect said sections, a plurality of longitudinally disposed individual lead carriers, :1 guide for each carrier, said guides having longitudinally disposed slots therein, a thread engaging element rigid with each carrier for movement longitudinally of the slots of the guides, said thread engaging elements having sockets therein, latches mounted for pivotal movement in the relatively stationary section and normally engagin the thread engaging elements to hold the latter spaced from the rotatable section, means to move the latches longitudinally to move the thread engaging elements into thread engaging position, whereby rotation of the rotatable section will move the lead carriers longitudinally outward and project a lead.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
