1 Snnentor v FERDINAND S.BARB|ERS g? /E /4fi (Ittomeg S Patented Feb. 16, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE INKSTAND AND THE LIKE Application September 5, 1935, Serial No. 39,318
5 Claims.
Because of the location of books and other articles on a table or desk it frequently occurs that an ink well cannot be placed thereon so that dipping the pen thereinto is convenient. Sometimes persons sitting at opposite sides of a table need to use a single ink well thereon. In such or other cases it is quite desirable to be able to shift the well in its holder so as to point toward the user.
The object of this invention, therefore, is more especially to provide an improved ink well or bottle and holder therefor whereby the well itself can be shifted to rest or stand in a desired position without moving the holder upon which the well is supported.
Other objects will appear from the disclosure herein.
The invention is embodied in the example herein shown and described.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a view in left hand end elevation showing the well or bottle in its holder.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the holder alone.
Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line IIIIII Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a combined section and elevation of the well or bottle.
In the views 5 designates the well or bottle which externally in its body portion is largely of spherical or globular form having a lower polar portion, or rim thereof, formed in a plane at right angles to the axis of the bottle so that it may be stood upright on a horizontal surface when not in its holder. The bottle is formed at its upper pole portion with a neck and rim to receive a removable cap Ill to cover the opening to the interior of the bottle through the mouth thereof.
Somewhat above the equator and on the exterior of the body of the vessel is a latitudinal projection or shoulder 5 extending preferably entirely around the vessel for the purpose hereinafter referred to.
The holder for the well or vessel consists of a block-like structure including a base rim 6 to rest on a desk or table. In the elevated portion of the block is formed a socket 1 preferably of nearly hemi-spherical shape. Said socket is to receive the vessel and is of dimensions substantially equal to the lower portion of the vessel except as to the flattened polar portion but so that the vessel can be swung or rolled around with a universal movement in said socket and the mouth thereof pointed in the direction desired, either vertically upward or in a direction inclined to the vertical.
The rim of the holder at the upper margin of the socket I is formed with a series of arcuate recesses or scallops 8 toward and into any one of which the vessel can be tilted to a position where the latitudinal projection 5 engages the rim at one of said depressions and the vessel supported in inclined position, such as shown in Fig. 1. Because the latitudinal projection 5 limits the lowering of the mouth end of the Vessel spilling of the contents of the vessel is prevented, especially when not more than the standard or normal quantity of fluid is contained therein. The full lines Fig. 1 show one of the inclined positions of the vessel and broken lines indicate another position to which the vessel can be shifted. Eight of such scallops 8 are shown so that the vessel can be supported and held from accidental movement in that number of different positions.
The vessel is retained from accidental lateral movement in the tilted position by reason of the elevations li between the scallops. In other words if the vessel is to be moved to a new inclined position it should be slightly lifted and then swung around to the extent desired.
If the bottle, as shown, were filled with ink or other fluid up to the neck the tilting of it, as herein described would cause the ink to overflow. Hence the bottle should be made over size and supplied and sold with a standard quantity of fluid to a level where overflow will not result upon tilting. Customers not aware of the reason might complain if the bottle were not filled, hence the bottle is made with a frusto-conical area 5 as shown, extending upward from the shoulder 5 said area adapted to receive a label, a short piece of which is shown at l2, of opaque paper or other material to conceal the fact that the bottle is not filled notwithstanding it contains the standard or specified quantity. Printed instructions or a suitable means of indication, or both, can be provided when the bottle is retailed to guide the user in resupplying ink to it. For example the label can be made of such width that if the ink level in the bottle in upright position appears above the upper edge of the label the indication is that the ink will overflow if the opened bottle is tilted in the holder. Or the instructions can be that the bottle should be carefully replenished only when it is in tilted position in the holder.
The block of the vessel holder can include a projecting ledge 9 having a longitudinal depression to receive a pen holder.
The fluting II on the octagonal upright faces are ornamental.
The bottle or vessel and its holder can be made of pressed glass or of any other material or materials suitable for the purpose, and on a dif ferent scale from that shown and for possible use other than as an ink well. Further forms of the parts can be changed without departing from the gist of the invention as claimed.
What I claim is:
1. A vessel having a body portion of hollow globular form provided with an opening thereinto, a holder for said vessel having a rimmed socket in which said vessel fits and is free to rock in any direction, and means projecting from said vessel around its said opening for positively limiting rocking movement of the vessel in any direction by contact with the rim of said socket.
2. A vessel having a body portion of hollow globular form provided with an opening thereinto, a holder for said vessel having a rimmed socket in which said vessel fits and is free to rock in any direction, a shoulder projecting from said vessel around its opening for positively limiting rocking movement of said vessel in any direction by contact of the shoulder with said rim of the socket, and a frusto-conical label receiving surface on said vessel between said shoulder and said vessel opening.
3. A vessel having a body portion of hollow globular form provided with an opening thereinto, a holder for said vessel having a rimmed socket in which said vessel fits and is free to rock in any direction, and a shoulder on said vessel around its opening for limiting the rocking movement of the vessel by contact of said shoulder with the rim of the socket, said socket rim provided with a series of recesses, each to engage the shoulder of the vessel when rocked thereinto and thereby restrain accidental horizontal swinging of the vessel.
4. A vessel having a body portion of hollow globular form provided with an opening thereinto at one of its poles and its other pole truncated substantially at right angles to the polar axis of the vessel, a holder for said vessel having a rimmed socket in which said vessel fits and is free to rock in any direction, and a latitudinal projection on said vessel around said opening whereby rocking movements are positively limited by the rim of said socket.
5. A vessel for containing a liquid having a body portion of hollow globular form provided with an opening thereinto, a holder for said vessel having a horizontally arranged rimmed socket, in which socket said vessel fits and is free to rock in any direction, and a projection located on said vessel around its opening to limit, by contact thereof wih the rim of said socket, the rocking movement of said vessel in all directions and prevent the spilling of liquid therefrom when the vessel contains not more than the normal maximum supply of liquid.
