Description
A. F. WARREN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
PENHOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 28,797, dated June 19, 1860.
To all whom Zt may concern:
Be it known that I, A. F. VARREN, of
Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Penholder; and I do hereby declare t-hat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specication, in which- Figure l represents an elevation of my invention when placed on a pencil, and ready to be put in the pocket. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my invention without the pen and the stick. Fig. 3 is a similar view from the opposite side.
Similar letters of reference in the three views indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to produce a cheap pen holder which will allow of carrying the pen in the pocket without damaging the same, and which accommodates itself to any pencil, whether round or polygonal; and my invention consists in the employment of an elastic tube with the noses which form the socket for the pen turned up or otherwise arranged in such a manner that a pencil or other cylindrical or polygonal stick can be put clear through said tube whether the pen is in the socket or not, so that when it is desired to use the pen, said tube can be pushed out to the end ,of the stick, and if it is desired to put t-he pen in the pocket, said tube together with the pen can be slid back on the stick or pencil t-o such a position that the pen is protected by the stick.
To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and operation with reference to the drawing.
The tube A, is made of thin and elastic sheet metal, and it is cut open from end to end so that it forms two jaws which spread out or close up according to the size of the stick to be inserted into it. The noses a, which form the socket for the pen B, instead of being bent down, as usual, are bent up, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the same form no obstruction to the stick, and that the latter can be pushed clear through the tube, as shown in Fig. l. These noses are so arranged that, if the tube is slid back on the stick, the pen lays down flat on the same, so that its point is protected as much as possible against injury, when the holder is put in the pocket. Instead of turning the noses a, up, as shown in the drawing, they may also be turned down in the usual manner, and the end of the tube which carries the noses would then have to be set back far enough to allo-w the stick to pass through the tube without obstruction; I prefer however to make the holder as represented in the drawing, this being the cheapest and easiest way.
By splitting the tube open from end to end and making it elastic I am enabled to use pencils of any kind for the sticks, and the tube will readily accommodate itself to round or polygonal pencils; and it now gives another advantage, namely, that the pen and the pencil can thus be readily combined, without any extra expense, and both together can be carried in the pocket without injuring the pen. Furthermore by thus allowing the tube to slide on the stick or pencil, when it drops down on the point of the pen, the latter will sustain no injury, the tube being able to give whereby the force of the shock is broken; whereas, if an ordinary pen-holder drops down, the point of the pen foremost, the latter is very liable to break or to turn up, the tube being rigidly attached to the stick so that the latter cannot move, and that the whole force of the fall has to be sustained by the point of the pen.
This pen-holder is very cheap and it combines all the conveniences of ordinary and expensive pen and pencil holders. It must be remarked however that instead of turning the noses up as shown in the drawing two tubes may be used one being fastened inside the other and arranged so that the pen can be inserted between them. Both tubes are split open, and when the pen is in its place a stick or pencil can be passed clear through the same.
Vhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
Having the noses a, which form the socket for the pen, turned up or otherwise arranged substantially as herein described so that if the pen is inserted the stick or pencil is allowed to pass clear through the tube.
A. F. WARREN.
