IMPROVEMENT IN FOUNTAlN-PENS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 184,754, dated N ovember 28, 1876 application filed October 23, 1876.
- tudinal section.
My invention relates to an improved fountain-pen holder, in which an ordinary pen-nib may be used.
The invention consists in controlling the flow of ink to the nib by admitting the air to replace the ink in the reservoir through a bent U-shaped capillary tube leading from an orifice in the side of the reservoir or holder in a convenient position, to be covered by the thumb or finger of the writer when it is desired to check the supply of ink to the pen.
This tube passes up and down the whole length of the ink holder or reservoir, to prevent the ink from running out through it when laid down, and terminates within the holder near the lower end.
a is the barrel or cylinder of metal. glass,
or porcelain, forming the ink holder or reservoir, closed at one end, at which the supply of ink is introduced by a screw-cap, b, and at the other by a curved spout or outlet, 0, having a minute orifice by which the ink is conveyed to the pen-nib d fixed in a suitable clip or holder on the end of the barrel 00. The
, spout c is bent up and terminates just beneath the inner surface of the nib, as shown. 6 is an air-tube of minute bore leading from an inlet-orifice, f, in the barrel a in such a position as to be readily covered oruncovered by the fingers which holdthe pen in writing. The tube 6 is bent double or U-shaped, and passes from the orifice f nearly to the top of the barrel 4, andback again to its lower end,
the rate of flow being regulated by the admission of air through the tube 0, which, as before mentioned, has a very minute bore, through which the air passes but slowly. The air, entering through this tube 6, displaces any ink that may be therein, and when it arrives at the extremity of the tube c it ascends in bubbles through the ink to the top end of reservoir.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. A fountain-pen holder closed at one end and having an outlet, 0, at the other for the ink, provided with U-shaped air-inlet tube of minute or capillary bore passing up and down within the ink holder or reservoir, and terminating at one end Within the said holder or reservoir, and at the other at an orifice in the side of the same in a positionto be readily covered and uncovered by the fingers, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The combination of top-closed barrel a,
curved spout c, and U shaped air-tube c, having orifice f, as shown and described, for the purpose set forth.
'3. The combination, with air-tube e, having orifice f, of the collar h, arranged to slide on the barrel, as and for the purpose specified.
The above specification of my invention signed by me this 11th da of September, 1876.
