Patented Mar. 26, 1935 UNITED STATES STAND FOR FOUNTAIN PEN S AND THE LIKE Erich Menzel, Berlin, Germany Application June 28, 1934, Serial No. 732,798
In Germany July 19, 1933 I 2 Claims.
This invention relates to an improved stand for fountain pens of the type in which resilient, spreadable feet are pressed together by a sleeve, the resilient feet being provided on a sleeve which is slipped on a holder or the like. This arrangement is open to the objection that the resilient feet are much longer than thesleeve slipped on to the pen or the like. Nevertheless the ends of the spreadable feet are not covered, so that the pen or the like, when carried in the pocket, very easily damages the cloth near the pocket.
Stands for fountain pens with movable spreading arms are already known, in which the spreading arms are mounted longitudinally shiftable on the end of the pen in such a manner that these arms, when in pushed in position, bear tightly against the pen. The invention differs advantageously from these known stands in that it forms a separate article which is constructed as a slip-on sleeve removable from the pen and in which the spreading arms in slipped in position lie completely protected within the sleeve. Thus, projecting parts, which might be in the way when carrying the pen, are avoided.
The invention consists in that the slip-on sleeve is constructed at one end as a clamping device to be attached to the pen, whereas the other end forms a protecting case for accommodating the resilient spreading supporting arms, the supporting arms being, longitudinally slidable on this case in such a manner that, when in pushed in position, they lie completely within the protecting case.
Besides the above mentioned advantages the stand according to the invention presents the further advantage that it can be manufactured as a complete article and need be made in only a few sizes corresponding to the different thicknesses of the fountain pens or the like.
Two embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing in which:-
Fig. 1 shows in elevation a stand on a fountain pen in position for use.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the stand with pulled in supporting arms.
Fig. 3 shows the slip-on sleeve in developed state.
Fig. 4 shows the supporting arms in developed state.
Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 shows in elevation a modified form of strip 5 is bent in ring shape.
According to Figs. 1 to 5 the stand comprises a sleeve 1 having on its upper end two separate resilient clamping arms 2 by means of which it can be secured on a fountain pen 3 or the like."
Supporting arms 4 are slidably mounted in the I closed portion of sleeve 1 and united at ,their upper ends bya strip 5., The shifting of these arms is preferably effectedby means of a knob and the strip 5 are preferably made from a strip of sheet metal in the shape shown in Fig. 4. -According to Fig. 5 the supporting arms 4 are bent outwards from the sheet metal strip and the strip 5 has onone end a slot 8 in which a tongue 9 formed on the other end can engage when the The ends of the strip 5 may be united by spot welding, riveting or soldering.
This stand can be slipped on to the cover cap 10 of the fountain pen 3 and in the position of use shown in Fig. 1 the supporting arms 4 are pushed out. They spread outwards resiliently and form the foot by means of which the stand can be stood up. Fig. 2 shows that, when the stand is in inoperative position, the supporting.
arms 4 are completely enclosed and protected. The sleeve, perfectly smooth on its outerside, enables a clip 11 to be easily fitted.
In the stand illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 the resilient metal clamping arms bear tightly against the fountain pen. These arms may damage the penand tendto slip off. This objection can be overcome by inserting a rubber ring 12 in the upper part of the sleeve 1 as illustrated in Figs. 6 and '7. To securethe ring in position two beads 13 and 14 are preferably provided on the sleeve 1 between which the rubber ring 12 rests.
1. A stand for fountain pens and the like,
comprising a sleeve, a-clamping'device at the,
upperv end of the sleeve and adapted to secure the stand onthe pen, the lower portion of said sleeve forming a protecting case-and outwardly spreading resilient supporting arms longitudinally slidable in said protecting case and adapted in pulled in position to lie completely in said case.
2. 11 a stand as specified in claim '1 the clamping device comprising a lining of elastic material inserted in the upper end of the sleeve.
