TOLEDO, OHIO,V A CORPORATION or OHIO l FOUNTAIN PEN DESK"SET Application led January 26,1931. Serial No. 511,199.
This invention relatesto fountain pen desk sets and more particularly to' improvements therein in the connection between the pen supporting receptacle and the base or support therefor. Y
One of the important objects of `the'invention is to provide a substantially universal joint or connection between the pen receiver and base which may be economically manufactured and assembled with facility.
Otherobjects and advantages are realized from the novel combination, construction and arrangement Of parts, all of which will be made Vmore apparent as this description proceeds, especially when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a sectional elevational view through a fountain pen desk set constructed in accordance with my invention; Y .p
Figure 2 is a similar view taken at righ angles to Figure 1, and
Figure 3 is a separated perspective'view of the several units or elements comprising the joint or connection between the pen supporting receptacle and the base.
Referring nowv more kparticularly to the drawings and more especially to Figures l and 2, it willbe noted that .there is illustrated a base or support provided with a recess or well 11 which may contain ,writing Huid. The base 10 may be in v,the form of a well or writing fluid container or in the form of the conventional block type of base customarily employed in fountain pen desk sets, this base being recessed to provide a Huid containing well or to receive a separate well or container. 'Y Y The base or support 10 is provided with an opening or recess 12 provided with an annular radially inwardly extending shoulder 13. Y
"The reference character 14 indicates the Y fountain pen supporting receptacle which may be of any conventional or preferred construction, it being usually customary to proend of the pen barrel rests when `the supported within the receptacle.
The lower end of the pensupportingreally receive the head 17.
ceptacleflei, is internall threaded to receive i the exteriorly threade end of the stem or shankl 16 of a headed member, the head. 17 of which'is substantially semi-spherical or substantially semi-ball shaped. The stem 16 is longitudinally curved as seen most clearly in Figures 1 and 3, and isof tubular formation to provide a longitudinal passage 18" therethrough, for a purposeto appear more fully hereinafter.
The head 17 is adapted to be received between a pair ofl socket plates 19 and 20, each of these socket plates being provided with a. semi-*spherical recess 21 whereby the two plates together form a socket recess to pivot- The upper'socket plate 19 is split as at 22 to permit its assembly with the headed member, f this socket plate `being transversely slotted throughout substantially its entire width as at 23. This slot accommodates the stem or shank 16 Yof the headed member and permits the pivotal movement of this headed member as will be obvious. The lower socket plate is transversely slotted as at 24 for a purpose to be more fully hereinafter referred to.
The stem or shank 16 of the headed member is provided with a neck portion 25 of a somewhat reduced diameter which works in the slot 23 and after the socket plate 19 is assembled with the headedmember, a ring member 26is slipped down overjthe stem 16 until the inturned iiange 27 thereof engages the Asubstantially annulariiange 28 on thesocket plate 19. The ring member 26 is then permanently assembled with the socket plate 19 by bending radially inwardly tongues 29 f formedon the ring member, these tongues extending over the annular liange 28 as seen best in Figure 2. This prevents the split socket plate 19 from being` spread outwardly which would permit it being disassembled from the headed member, it being understood that thewidth of the slot 23 is lessthan the diameter of the stem or shank 16.
y The pair'ofsocket plates 19 and 20 together with theheaded member 17 are located ina collar member `30 which is provided "with an annular inwardly extending flange of the collar member is interiorly threaded Q as at 33 to receive an exteriorly threaded portion 34 of a sleeve member 35. By properly adjusting the sleeve member 35 the pressure exerted by the spring member 32 on the socket member may be regulated so that the headed member will be heldy friction in any The sleeve memberv 35 of itsadjusted positions.
y is provided with a threaded portion 36 which extends below the recess '12' and below the annular shoulder 13 and a locking nut 37 is threaded onto this projecting end and engages the ydownwardly facing shoulder provided by the annular portion 13. Thus the lower edge ofthe collar member 30 seats'upon the upper face of the annular shoulder 13, whereasthe locking nut 37 engages the lower face of this shoulder, thereby firmly securing the whole assembly to the basejor support 10. The socket formedvby the socket plates 19 and 20, permits of an angular movement of the'pen supporting revceptacle 14 in a vertical plane andthe recepitacle together with the headed member and the socket plates may be rotated in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis so that a substantially, universal movement may be imparted to the pen supporting receptacle. The
The passageway 18 in the headed member communicates with the interior ofthe pen --supporting receptacle and in the receptacle,
preferably at Vthe juncture of the receptacle and the headed member, I provide avalve se'at'member 38VVV having a slightly Aconical Y valve seat 39 with'which a check valve in the Vform of aball 40 cooperates. vThis ball seats itselfto close'the opening when the re- Vceptacle14 is yin an upright position, but 'when the receptaclejis tilted, the ball is dislodged from its seat as will be obvious. Connected to the tubular portion 41 of the valve ,member is a tube 42 which extends downwardly through the opening 18, 'thence through the sleeve member 34 and VYthrough ,an aperture 43 in the ylock nut 37 to a point adj acenty the bottom of the well "11. This tube is preferably flexible so as to permit of .the movements of the pen supporting receptacle, 14. The opening 18 is preferably Vflared as at 44 to provide sufiicient clearance 1 between the tube and the headed member 'dur- Lasai'ro ing the angular movements of the pen supporting receptacle.
In practice the pen suppporting receptacle will be moved to an upright position and al `fountain pen or the like (not shown) will be inserted in the receptacle with the end of the pen engaging the shoulder 15 to seal apart Ythe lower end of the receptacle. The fountain pen-filling means is then operated, and the suction resulting therefrom will draw ink upwardly from the well 11 through the tube 42and unseat the valve 40, whereupon ink will be contained in the lower portion of the receptacle 14 from whence the fountain pen may be readilyA filled. ,lVhen the fountain penhas been filled, any of the ink orl writing fluid remaining may be permittedto drain back into the well by an- Y plained. When it isV not desired to fill the fountain pen,.the receptacle 14 is free of ink and may be used in the same manner as the conventional type of pen supporting recepta'cle. Inf by any chance the fountain pen slieilild leak, this ink will drain back'into the we lVhile one form of vconstruction has been illustrated and described herein somewhat in detail,'it will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art that various changes vin many of the non-essential details of construction may be resorted to without depart ing from the spirit and scope of this invention, and to this end reservation is made t0 make such changes as may come within the purview of the accompanying claims, Vhat Iy claim as my invention is: 1. lIn a fountain pen desk set, a base, a pen supporting receptacle, av headed member connected to said receptacle, a pair ofl socket plates between which saidfheadis received,

sleeve member threadedly engaging said collar member for adjustably securing said spring in place, said collar member engaging said upwardly presented shoulder, and a nut threaded on the end of said sleeve member for engaging said downwardly presented shoulder for securing the assembly in the recess in said base.
5. In a fountain pen desk set, a support provided with a well, a pen supporting receptacle, a head connected to said receptacle, a socket comprising a pair of socket plates between which said head is secured and rotatively journaled, means for rotatively con necting said socket to said support and a tube extending through the connection between said receptacle and support for connecting the interior of said receptacle with said well.
