PEN DESK SET COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS nnsx sn'r Application filed January 12, 1927. Serial No. 160,596.

My invention has for its object to provide a pivotal support for the pen receiving receptacle so that it may be swung through an arc of 180, and has for its further object to provide means for mounting the pivotal support, so that if desired, it may be capable of a swiveling movement.

My means of accomplishing the foregoing object will be more readily understood by having reference to the accompanying drawing, which. is hereunto annexed, in which Fig. 1 is a top, or plan view of my improve ment, a fragmentary portion of the base only being shown, as, obviously,.it can be of any desired configuration;

Fig. 2 is a sectional line 2-2 of Fig. 1 in'the by the arrows; I

Fi 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. l in the direction indicated by the arrows;

Fig. 4: is

view taken on the direction indicated a view partly in section showing Y the pivotal support held stationary.

Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the entire description.

As shown in the drawing, I have provided a base 1 upon which I mount a pivotal support which is comprised of a washer 2 which issuitably secured to the base, and a fiat, upwardly extending member 3-which is referably circular in shape. A screw 4 is tted to a threaded opening 5 tending member, 3. The member 3 has a transverse aperture 6 formed therein to receive a pivot pin. On this member 3 is mounted a bifurcated member; as shown, it is a ball 7, the member 3 being fitted intermediate the

bifurcations

8 and 9. This ball is provided with a neck, or stem 10 which has threads llcut thereon. A pivotpin 20 passes through the

bifurcations

8 and 9 and intermediate the upwardl extending member'3, so that the two are plvotally connected.

Although I have described the ball as being bifurcated, it will be obvious to persons skilled in the art, that the construction may be reversed and the pivotal'support may have the bifurcated arms, without deviating from the scope of my invention which is designed ceptas such limitations may appear in in the upwardly eX-l hereinafter contained claims.

toprovide a pivotal support for the pen receivmg portion.

The pen receiving sleeve 12 is formed of a cylindrical sleeve having internal threads 13 cut in one end thereof. These threads fit the threads 11 on the stem 10. The outer end of the sleeve is preferably flared, to facilitate the entry of the pen. By tightening the screw 4 sothat its head 17 is drawn tightly against 'a shoulder 18 formed in the base 1, the pivotal support will be held firmly in position. If it is desired toprovide for a swivcling movement of the pivotal support, then the screw 4 instead of being tight, as hereinbefore described, it is slightly loose, and I mount a coil spring, 15 intermediate the shoulder 16 on the screw 4: and the bottom of the washer 2 of the pivotal support. This spring furnishes just enough tension to provide sufiicient frictional engagement between the parts to hold the pivotal support in base.

Although I have described a specific form of construction for these parts, I do not desire to be understood as limiting myself to the specific form shown and described, which description is merely to disclose a concrete embodiment of the preferred form of construction, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself in any respect, ex-

the
