A Ink Well. NQ. 243,395. Patented June 28,1881.

UNITED STAT-Es' PATENT OFFICE.

OLE PEDERSON, OF MORRIS, ASSIGNOR TO JAMES D. WILLIAMS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

INK-WELL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,395, dated .Tune 28, 1881. Application filed October 25, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLE PEDERsoN, of the city of Morris, in Grundy county, in the State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Ink-Wells, the construction and op eration of which I will proceed to explain, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ot' this specication, in which- Figure lis a vertical sectional view through the center., Fig. 2 a front elevation, and Fig. 3 a perspective view, of the bottle or ink-well.

In the drawings, A represents the desk or table, to the under side of which isattached the ink-well and the parts holding it in place. P is the ink-well. 'n is a frame in which the inkwell slides back and forth, and also supports the. lid r covering the Well.

In operation the bottle or well P slides backward and forward in the frame n on the ways s by means of the rocker or arc-shaped lugs o on the well, (shown more particularly in Fig. 3,) resting on the ways s.

Fig. 1 shows the well P pressed toward the rear or back of the desk B, partially out f1 om under the lid r, until a portion of the well comes out under the aperture a through the desk, so a pen may be inserted through the aperture a down into the well.

When not in use the well P may be pulled forward under the lid r, so it will entirely close and cover the well to keep dirt out and prevent evaporation. The lid r lies loosely in the frame u over the well P, on which it rests, as shown in Fig. 1,\and is held down closely on top of the well P by means of the spring c at about its center, which spring `may be of rubber or any other material 'suitable for the purose.

It will be observed that the top of the well and the bottom of the lid o" will easily adjust themselves together, on account of the manner in which the well is hung on the arc-shaped lugs o and the adj ustability of the lid rr. These lugs o may be arc-shaped in form, or angular only, so they permit the upper face of the well.

to adjust itself to the lower surface ofthe lid r.

The cross-bar i is used to prevent the well from falling out of the frame fn when the well is pulled under the lid 1'. Also, when it is desired to remove lthe well, the bart may be, raised up above the well. Either end of the bar 'i passes a little into the sides of the frame a, beyond the ways s, so it will not get out of place, as is shown in Fig. 2 at the dotted lines.

1t will be seen that by this construction there are no obstructions on the top of the desk. Everything is underneath, out of the way, and where it is thoroughly protected from damage.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit:

l. The sliding well P, having arc-shaped lugs o and ways e, arranged to operate in combination with and on the under side of the desk A, having the dipping-apertnre a, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination and arrangement of the sliding well P, having arc-shaped lugs o, lid r, ways s, and spring c, for the purpose of adjusting the lid to the top of the Well, as specitied.

3. The combination and arrangement ofthe frame n, cover r, ways s, bar fi, spring c, lugs o, well P, and desk A, having the aperture a, for the purpose set forth'.

OLE PEDERSON.
