Definitions

  • This invention relates to bottles for ink and has particular although not exclusive reference to the production ofan improved form of glass bottle adapted to contain ink for the filling of fountain pens.
  • Bottles in which fountain pen ink is sold are frequently formed in such manner that, as the ink level falls, the bottle can be turned or tilted toa position in which a greater depth of ink with smaller surface area is available in order to enable as much of the ink as possible to be used.
  • the cost of manufacture must be relatively small in proportion to the value of the ink which they contain and for this reason designs which might operate satisfactorily in enabling the maximum quantity of ink to be withdrawn from them by the actions of fountain pen filling are so expensive to manufacture that their commercial adoption is impossible.
  • Bottles or ink wells have been proposed which include two compartments of unequal capacity divided by a partition extending upwards from the base but in these prior constructions the partition has not been disposed beneath the neck or opening and consequently these bottles or ink wells have not been capable of manufacture by blowing in one operation and do not lend themselves to mass production methods of manufac- .30 tllI'B.
  • an ink bottle is provided the interior of which is divided 40 into two compartments by a partition extending upwards from the base and constituted by two mutually inclined surfaces meeting beneath the neck or opening to enable the bottle to be blown in moulds.
  • the invention also consists in a glass ink bottle divided into two compartments by a partition extending in a direction perpendicular to the 7 base and positioned beneath the neck or opening through which a pen is inserted for filling.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of one form of the improved bottle
  • Fig.2 is a plan of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional plan taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. l,
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a modified form of construction
  • the construction of the bottle is such that when originally charged with inka fountain pen can be filled by dipping into the general body of ink above the partition and as the level of ink falls during use a pen can be filledby dipping into either compart- ;ment and finally into the compartment a. only.
  • the partition 0 extends across the width of the bottle as shown in the sectional plan, Fig. 3, and
  • the bottle illustrated is designed for manufacture by blowing in one operation ina mould and to this end the partition is hollow and formed with mutually inclined sides
  • This feature of the design of the bottle serves four purposes. Firstly, it enables a partition to be formed during the blowing operation; secondly, it facilitates the transfer of ink, when required, from the larger compartment 1) to the smaller compartment a; thirdly, the inclined wall of the compartment or substantially reduces the capacity of the base of the compartment and thereby reduces the quantity of ink which must finally be wasted to very small proportions, and fourthly the arrangement of the partition enables a pen to be filled from either side as already described until the fall in level of the ink renders it necessary to concentrate the residue of ink in the smaller compartment.
  • the partition 0 can be blown integral with the bottle as to insert a partition as a separate element would entail such difficulty and expense as to render the bottle commercially useless. Further, by having the partition 0 approximately central to the openinge the bottle can be blown with compartment b larger than compartment aas shown, as the partition is formed by the shape of the mould base and thereafter the air entering through the opening e is divided thereby and flows in divergent directions to ensure the glass filling the mould. If the mould were to be constructed to produce the partition 0 at one side of the opening 2 eX- perience has shown that the absence of means to divide the incoming air will result in there being insufficient air pressure available to form the compartment 1).
  • the capacity of the smaller compartment a can be still further reduced by tapering the bottle in plan as shown at f in Figs. 2 and 3.
  • a fountain pen is filled,after removing the cork, cap or stopper from the opening e and by dipping the pen above or on either side of the partition 0.
  • This procedure can be followed for as long as the ink level is above or coincident with the upper edge of the partition but as the ink is used the'level in the bottle falls to a point at which a substantial quantity of ink is available but of a depth insufficient to enable a pen to be filled.
  • the bottle is then tilted to cause ink to flow over the partition from the reservoir b to the compartment a which will then contain ink of a depth sufiicient to cover the nib and a small part of the pen barrel to enable the filling operation to be performed satisfactorily without the fountain pen sucking in air and without the necessity of tilting the bottle during the process of filling the pen.
  • the tilting, operation can be repeated from time to time until the reservoir 1) is empty and when the ink in compartment a is reduced to a level at which a fountain pen can no longer be filled the quantity of ink remaining is so small as to be negligible.
  • the construction illustrated Figs. 4, 5 and 6 is designed more particularly for production by mechanically operated glass blowing apparatus.
  • the central transverse partition g is of similar form to the partition 0 already described and divides the interior of the bottle into two compartments h and 2' of equal capacity either of which can be used to contain the ink when the level has fallen below the top of the partition g.
  • the curved ends of the bottle in conjunction with the inclined walls I of the partition cause the formation of a base to each compartment of very small capacity so that after all the ink has been concentrated in either compartment and the level of ink in that compartment has fallen too low to enable a pen to be filled the residue remaining is negligible.
  • This construction embodies the advantages already described with reference to Figs. 1-3 in that when ink has been concentrated in one compartment a pen can be filled without sucking in air and without the necessity for tilting the bottle during the pen filling operation. i
  • the partition employed in either form of the invention above described is preferably formed with the ridge between the two mutually inclined surfaces rounded for the purpose of preventing damage to the point of a pen nib.
  • An ink bottle divided into two compartments by a partition extending upwards from the base and constituted by two mutually inclined surfaces meeting centrally beneath the opening of the bot-tle, said inclined surfaces providing passages between them and the bottle opening sufficient for the insertion of a fountain pen into a position to dip into the base of the bottle at either side of said partition.
  • An ink bottle for fountain pen filling having a neck in the top thereof provided with an axial opening, and a partition projecting upwardly from the bottom and extending between and connecting opposite sides of the bottle and dividing the bottle into separate compartments, the sides of said partition being inclined upwardly toward one another and meeting directly beneath and in axial alinement with the opening in the neck and being spaced from the lower end of the neck sufficiently for the passage of a fountain pen to the bottom of the bottle at either side of the partition.
  • A. moldedglass ink bottle having, formed integrally therewith, a neck in the top thereof provided with an axial opening, and a partition projecting upwardly from the bottom and extending transversely between and connecting opposite sides of the bottle and dividing the bottle into separate compartments of equal capacity, the sides of said partition being inclined upwardly toward one another and meeting in a transverse ridge located centrally beneath the opening in the neck, and the inclined sides and ridge of the partition being spaced from the lower end of the neck suiiiciently to admit a fountain pen to the bottom of the bottle at either side of the partition.
