Application August 25, 1938, Serial No. 97,744

2 Claims.

The object of our invention is to devise a novel ink marking pencil which can be used'for addressing shipping boxes, bags or other textile containers, packages, store windows and any other desired article.

A further purpose of our invention is to devise a novel marking pencil which will hold an ample supply of ink, which can be readily refilled, which has but few parts and can be cheaply manufactured, which does not leak and which will provide for the proper flow of ink to the felt or other marking point employed. I

With the above and other objects in view as will hereinafter more clearly appear, our invention comprehends a novel construction and arrangement of an ink marking pencil.

It further comprehends a novel construction of casing having a novel felt carrier with yielding means to effect the sealing of the casing.

It further comprehends novel filling means.

Other novel features of construction and advantage, will hereinafter more clearly appear in the detailed description and the appended claims.

For the purpose of illustrating our invention,

we have shown in the accompanying drawing, preferred embodiments of it, which, in practice, will give satisfactory and reliable results. It is, however, to be understood that these embodiments are typical only and the various instrumentalities of which our invention consists can be variously arranged and organized, and the invention is not limited to the exact arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein set forth.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a fountain marker, embodying our invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section.

Figure 3 is a sectional view, on an enlarged scale of the forward end of the pencil.

Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 but showing the parts in ink feeding position.

Figure 5 is a longitudinal section of another embodiment of our invention.

' Figure 6 is a longitudinal section of another embodiment of our invention.

Similar numerals indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawing:-

Referring first to the construction shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive; 1 designatesthe barrel or body portion of an ink marking pencil embodying our invention. r

The barrel at its forward end is cone shaped as at 2, and its rear end is threaded to receive the threaded sleeve of a cap 3, which latter may have a knurled portion 4. 5 is a carrier for the marking point 6. The carrier at its rear end is cylindrical and of less diameter than the bore of the barrel, .and is cone shaped at its forward end to extend partially through the cone shaped end of the barrel. I v

The carrier is apertured as at 1 to receive the 5 marking point which may have any desired contour and is of felt or other absorbing material. In rear of the carrier is a washer 8 preferably of felt, and between such washer 8 and. a sealing washer 9 in the cap 3 a spring in is interposed. 10

In Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, the barrel can be refilled with ink upon removal of the cap 3, while in Figure 5 we have shown the front end of the marking pencil as removable if desired for refilling the pencil. 15

In the embodiment seen in Figure 5 the cone shaped forward end I l of the barrel is in threaded engagement with the other barrel section i2. A

, spring i3 is interposed between the forward end of the section i2 and bears against the washer i4 20 to move the point carrier i5 into contact with the conical bore of the forward end ii.

In the embodiment seen in Figure 6, we provide a glass or other tube It into which the supply of ink is drawn. 25

The casing has the rear section l1 and the section i8 which is cylindrical at its rear end and in threaded engagement with the section-ll, while its front end is cone shaped. A pen carrier similar to IS in Figure 5 with its washer is 30 retained in sealed condition by a spring I9 in.a similar manner to that shown in Figure 5. A cap 20 in threaded engagement with the rear end of the section ll has openings 2i at opposite sides to permit the pressing and release of the rubber cap 22 secured to the rear end of thetube l6. 1 A sealing washer 23 may be provided if desired between the tube It and the barrel section ll'in proximity to the rubber cap 22.

Having thus described our invention, what we 40 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a fountain ink marker, an ink receiving barrel having the forward end of its bore cone shaped in cross section, a carrier extending 45 through and beyond the forward end of the bore and cone shaped in cross section at its forward portion to cooperate with the cone shaped wall of the bore, said carrier at its rear portion being of less external diameter than the diameter of 0 the barrel bore, said carrier having a longitudinal aperture through it, an absorbent marker in said aperture, and a spring tending to move the carrier forwardly to seal it with the barrel.

2'. In a fountain ink marker, an ink receiving 5- barrel having the forward end of its bore cone shaped in cross section, a carrier extending through and beyond the forward end of the bore and cone shaped in cross section at its forward portion to cooperate with the cone shaped wall of the bore, said carrier at its rear portion being of less external diameter than the diameter of the barrel borejsaid carrier having a longitudinal aperture through it, an absorbent marker in said aperture. an absorbent washer bearing against the rear end of said carrier, and a spring bearing against said washer and tending to move themrier forwardly to seal it with the cone shaped wall of the bore of the barrel.
