Description
Patented Feb. 9, 1943 'UNHTED STATES PATE'NT OFFICE PAPER PENCIL HOLDER.
John O. Hatfield, Tulsa, Okla., assignor of onehalf to Henry E. Holm, Tulsa, Okla.
3 Claims.
This invention relates to devices adapted to be used as connectors for pencils and extensions for the same, whereby short length or stub pencils may be more completely used up, and whereby an eraser holder is provided for short or long pencils. The article of the present invention is preferably made of a strip of non-metallic material, such as paper, cloth, leather or the like.
In view of the present shortage of metals, it has been made necessary for the Government to restrict the use of all metals not used for defense purposes, and the manufacture of metal pencil connectors is practically banned. An important object of my invention, therefore, is to produce from paper or the like a pencil connector that will replace the conventional metal connectors.
Another object is to produce a pencil connector which is extremely cheap to manufacture from readily available materials.
Another object is to produce a pencil connector which is readily assembled, and after it is assembled, is very strong and durable.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent as the invention is more fully described.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of one side of the strip used in making the connector, showing a varnish coating adjacent its edges;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the other side of the same strip showing an adhesive coating;
Fig. 3 is a view showing how the connector is formed;
Fig. 4 is a view showing the finished connector.
Fig. 5 is a cross section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 6 is a view showing one of the several uses of the invention.
In the drawing, in which like numerals of reference indicate like parts, I is a substantially triangular strip of paper or the like which on one side adjacent its edges has a coating of varnish 2, the purpose of which will be more fully disclosed hereinafter. On the opposite side, this strip is provided with an adhesive coating 3.
Referring to Fig. 3, the element 4 is a pencil or some similar object on which the strip I is wound to form the device shown in Fig. 4. Preferably, element 4 is an actual pencil.
The assembling operation is as follows: The strip I is wrapped tightly around the pencil or rod 4, beginning with the wide end, the adhesive is moistened and the strip wound tightly around itself; as it is wound adhesive 3 secures each convolution. Due to the triangular configuration of the strip I, each convolution is narrower than the preceding one, thus forming a tube or cylinder which is substantially thicker at the middle than at its ends, this increase of thickness from each end to the middle being progressive and gradual.
The article of the present invention preferably reaches the user in flat form, and the user rolls the strip around the pencil 4 on which he proposes to use it. This point is of great practical importance, first, because these strips I may be shipped flat, thereby taking a mini-mum of space, second, becaues the article is rolled around the pencil on which it is to be used, a proper fit is assured, regardless of the size or shape of the pencil. In other words, the connector is not restricted to any size or shape of pencil, but is rolled. to fit the particular size and shape of pencil with which it is to be used.
The exposed edges 2 of the strip are subject to considerable wear and the purpose of the varnish coating 2 is to strengthen and reinforce this exposed edge, the varnish also protecting the strip against the effect of perspiration.
As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the article increases in thickness toward the middle providing inclined surfaces which are slightly roughened due to the presence of the exposed edges 2'. These roughened, inclined surfaces, when the article is in place in the pocket of the user, will tend to engage against the pocket and so prevent the loss of the pencil.
The article may be made in any appropriate colors, preferably in longitudinally extending red, white and blue strips on that face of the paper strip that is exposed, which is the face shown in Fi 1.
My invention may be used in various ways. It may be used to connect two very short stubs 5 and 6 of pencils together. Also it makes possible a two pointed pencil which may be of different colors. It can also be used as a point protector, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawing, by inserting the points of one or two pencils in the connector, such as the case may be. It is also possible to provide a plain pencil with an eraser by merely attaching the connector to one end of the pencil and inserting a member, such as 6, provided with an eraser I. 6 could be a pencil, and simply a carrier for an eraser I.
While the invention has been described in some detail, it will be apparent that various modifications may be made in the general arrangement of parts involved without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. A connector for pencils comprising a tube composed of a substantially triangular strip of paper wound longitudinally about itself and secured by a suitable adhesive, said winding being started with the wide end of the strip and terminating with the narrow end, thus providing the tube wall with a graduated thickness increasing from the ends toward the mid-section.
2. A connector for pencils comprising a tube composed of a substantially triangular strip of paper coated on one side with an adhesive and on the opposite side adjacent its edges with a varnish,
said strip being wound longitudinally about itself,
starting with the wide end and terminating with the narrow end, each convolution being secured by the adhesive, to provide a tube having a wall which is of greater thickness at its mid-section than at its ends, the varnish forming a wearresisting coating on the exposed portions of the convolutions.
3. A connector for pencils, comprising a tube formed by rolling a substantially triangular strip of flexible, non-metallic material from its base to its apex and adhesively securing the convolutions, the connector gradually increasing in thickness from each end to the middle, and providing an inclined annular surface somewhat roughened by the exposed edges of the paper strip.
