Patented Oct. 31, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention aims to provide a novel combination article, embodying an envelope sealer, an ink eraser and a lead pencil eraser, the parts specified cooperating in a novel manner. Another object of the invention is to supply a device of the class described, which may be carried on a pencil, or be used detached from a pencil, or be employed as a fixed article on a desk.
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 shows, in elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the article shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an elevation showing a modification;
Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the article shown in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is an elevation showing a further modification;
Fig. 6 is a vertical section of. the article depicted in Fig. 5;
Fig. '7 is an elevation showing another modification;
Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section of the device delineated in Fig. 7.
In carrying out the invention, as disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2, there is supplied a body I, made of any desired material, and of approximately frusto-conical form. In the wider end of the body I there is a recess 2, about which the body I extends, saving where the recess opens through the wider end of the body. The inner portion of the recess 2 is curved, as shown in Fig. 2, to conform to the periphery of a roller 3, which is used in sealing envelopes. The roller 3 projects a little beyond the wider end of the body.
The roller 3 is journaled for rotation on a solid shaft 4, extended through the body I, transversely, and transversely across the recess 2. A nut 5 is threaded on one end of the shaft 4 and engages the body I, at one side thereof. The
shaft 4 has a fixed collar 6, engaging the opposite side of the body, the body being bound firmly between the collar 6 and the nut 5.
The shaft 4 projects beyond the collar 6 to form a tip I, on which is detachably mounted a lead pencil eraser 8, arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the body I.
A bore 9 is formed in the longitudinal axis of the body I and extends inwardly from the smaller end of the body. The numeral Ill designates a sharpened and pointed ink eraser, made of metal the eraser including a head II received in the bore 9, the head defining a shoulder l2, which abuts against the smaller end of the body I, the head being held frictionally in the bore 9. The head II is provided with a circumscribing groove l4, adapted to receive a finger I5, slidable in the body I, and attached to one end of a spring latch l6, secured at one end to the body I. The purpose of the latch I6 and the finger I5 is to hold the ink eraser Ill detachably assembled with the body I.' In order that the article can be carried conveniently in the pocket, a spring pocket grip I8 is secured at one end to the body I, the grip extending toward the smaller end of the body.
It will be seen that the article includes, in convenient relation to each other, the envelope sealing roller 3, the lead pencil eraser 8, and the ink eraser ID. The article can be used in a variety of ways. For instance, when all parts are assembled, as shown in Fig. 2, the article can be carried in the pocket. If the operator wishes, he can free the latch Hi from the head II of the ink eraser III, the ink eraser being removed. Then, one end of a lead pencil (not shown) may be inserted into the bore 9, the article being pencilcarried.
Some persons may not wish to carry the article either in the pocket or on a lead pencil, but may wish to mount it fixedly on a desk, as shown in Fig. 1. Under such circumstances, a narrow slit I9, shaped to receive the ink eraser I0 closely, may be formed in the horizontal part of a desk 20, the pencil eraser 8 being compressed against the vertical part of the desk and aiding in holding the body I in the upright position of Fig. 1. Since the lead pencil eraser 8, made of rubber or similar material, is compressed, the eraser has a frictional hold on the vertical part of the desk 20, and will aid in preventing the ink eraser ID from being detached from the groove I9 in the desk.
In Figs. 3 and 4, parts hereinbefore described have been designated by numerals already used, with the suffix a. In this form of the invention, a recess 2a extends entirely through the body la, transversely of the longitudinal axis of the body. The pocket grip l8a extends toward the wider end of the body, and is located near the narrower end of the body.
In Figs. 5 and 6, the latch l6 and the corresponding parts of Fig. 2 are omitted. The head III) of the ink eraser lUb is threaded at 2| into the bore 9b.
The axis of the recess 2b extends longitudinally of the body lb, rather than transversely thereof. as in Fig. 2. The upper end of the body lb is reduced, as shown at 22, and exposes opposed portions of the roller 3b. The roller 3b is journaled on a tubular shaft 4b, having its inner end threaded at 23 into the bore 9b. The shaft 4b is supplied with an outstanding shoulder 24, engaging the wider end of the body lb.
A second lead pencil eraser 50 is mounted on the tip lb of the shaft 4b.
In Figs. 7 and 8, the recess 20 opens through one side only of the body lc, to expose the roller 30. A second pencil eraser 500 is mounted on the smaller end of the body lc.
What is claimed is:
In an article of the class described, a body provided at its lower end with an anchor member shaped to be received in the horizontal part of a desk, the body being provided at its side with a lateral resilient member, compressible against a vertical part of a desk to hold the anchor member assembled with the horizontal part of a desk, and a sealing member mounted on the body.
