H. R. SEGAL March 14, 1950 FOUNTAIN PEN Filed March 20, 1946 Ra L 6 W? m% Y Afforzzey.
Patented Mar. 14, 1950 UNI-TED STATES TENT 9 F F 1 CE '7. Claims. 1
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in fountain pens and pencils, and it has for its object to provide a fountain pen or pencil that will be simple of construction, sturdy and eflicient in use, and very economical to manufacture.
With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement, of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view illustrating one form of my invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view of my invention, shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view, taken on the line 3--3 in Figure 2.
Figure 4' is a view similar to Figure 2, with parts broken off, showing a modification in con struction, relative to Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a side elevational View, showing another modification of my invention.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1D indicates a :wire housing spirally wound and terminating at one end in a clip H made from bending the end of said wire. Inside the said wire is arranged a tubing l2 of any suitable material; said tubing is formed with an inwardly bent constriction l3 adapted to have a writing ball l4 resting thereon. The wire it extends beyond said constriction l3 and loosely surrounds the major portion of the ball I4, as shown at 55, in such a manner as to permit the said ball to turn during writing. A piece of solid (nonfluid) writing ink 16 is disposed within the tubing E2 in contact with the ball M, so as to tint the latter with the color of the ink stick as said ball l4 continuously turns during a writing operation. The said stick I6 is secured in a base or socket I! which is actuated by a coiled spring H3 in order to keep the ink stick it in contact with the ball 54. The barrel i2 is closed at its lower end by a cap 29. It will thus appear that the said ball is movably seated between the upper end of the coils of the wire housing, as said coils may be either spaced or of different shape or size.
In Figure 4 the wire is crimped as at 20 to form a seat for the ball it, which will thus touch the ink stick It as this is level with the upper end of the tubing l2, as shown at 2|. A second crimping of the wire 12' secures the wire housing to the tubing l2, as shown at 22.
In Figure 5 is shown a detachable tube: 36 which may be: replaced. Said tube is filled with ink adapted totouch the ball I 3 during writing; while the spring I8 is adapted to keep said tube in suitable position.
t is obvious that slight changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, as shown, within the scope of the appended claims, Without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I do not, therefore, wish to limit myself to the exact construction and arrangement shown and described herein.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
l. A writing implement comprising a wire housing, a tubing fixedly secured within said housing, a solid ink stick disposed in said tubing, and a ball turnably arranged at one end of the latter, and adapted to apply said ink to a paper, the upper end of the wire housing being made to loosely engage and secure said ball in position, and means for bringing the ink stick into contact with said ball, substantially as shown and described.
2. A writing implement compr sing a wire housing, a tubing fixedly secured within said housing, said tubing being at its upper end made with a constriction, whereby to form a seat, an ink applying ball turnably arranged upon said seat, and the upper wires of the housing loosely surrounding and retaining said ball in position, an ink stick within the housing, and means for actuating the ink stick to contact said ball, whereby the latter may impart the ink to a paper.
3. A writing implement comprising a wire housing, a tubing made with a slight curvature, the wires of the housing being crimped around said curvature whereby to secure the wire housing to said tubing, said wire housing being at its upper end formed with a second crimp to form a seat and an ink applying ball disposed on said seat, and turnably retained in position by the windings at the upper end of the housing, and an ink stick disposed in said tubing, and means for actuating said ink stick into contact with the ball, whereby the latter may apply the ink to a surface.
4. A device of the class described comprising a wire housing, the upper spiral windings of the latter being spaced somewhat apart and an ink applying ball movably disposed between said spaced coils and retained in position by the latter, an ink stick contacting said ball, and means for providing said relative contact, whereby to make said ball a writing medium.
5. A device of the class described comprising a wire housing, the upper spiral windings of the latter being of differently shaped wire and a ball movably seated between said wire coils and held in position by the latter, an ink stick contacting said ball, and means for providing said relative contact, whereby to make said ball a writing medium.
6. A device of the class described comprising a wire housing, the upper spiral windings of the latter being of differently sized wire, and an ink applying ball movably seated between said wire coils and held in position by the latter, an ink stick contacting said ball, and means for pro viding said relative contact, whereby to make said ball a writing medium.
7. In a device of the class described, a wire housing, a detachable tube inserted into the latter, an ink applying ball 'turnably positioned at the end of said housing, said tube being filled with a bulky ink, and means for bringing said bulky ink into contact with said ball, whereby the latter may apply the ink to a paper.
