Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to fountain pens and more particularly to fountain pens having removable nozzles.
  • the rear bore of the nozzle of the fountain pen is fitted on the conical or cylindrically shaped nipple of the fountain pen.
  • the connection between the nozzle and nipple usually is so tight that a suction effect is produced when the nozzle is attached to the nipple. Therefore, when the nozzle is removed from the nipple, ink flows out of the pen into the rear bore of the nozzle. As a result of this ow of ink due to suction the nipple, bore and other parts of the fountain pen are dirtied.
  • the ink on the nipple and in the bore eventually dries and encrustations of ink are formed on the nipple and in the bore.
  • a further more specific object of the present invention is to provide such a fountain pen structure with a withdrawable cleaning wire.
  • Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of the front portion of a fountain pen with a nozzle for drawing lines
  • Fig. -Z is a longitudinal section of the rear portion thereof. 1 l
  • Fig. 3 isV a cross section on the line IIl--lll of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the tip portion of a nozzle for stencil writing.
  • the hollow barrel of the pen is the hollow barrel of the pen.
  • the rear portion of the bore of the barrel is narrower and forms the ink reservoir 2.
  • a hollow stem 3 screwthreaded at its rear end, the front portion 4 of which fits in the bore of the barrel.
  • the middle portion of the hollow stem is so tapered that, between its outer surface 5 and the inner surface of the barrel, a capillary intervening space 6 of annular cross section, adapted to receive and to yieldup excess ink, is provided, which in front is in communication with the ⁇ atmosphere by an air-inlet opening 7.
  • the hollow stem 3 is provided with a collar 8, which is furnished with a gap 8'.
  • the hollow stem 3 is provided behind and adjoining its front portion 4 with an annular groove 10.
  • the hollow stem 3 is provided at its front end with a screwthreaded neck 12 and an adjoining nipple 13.
  • the screwthreaded neck is formed with a groove 14.
  • a sleeve 15 which has an external diameter about 0.1 rnm. smaller than the internal diameter of the bore of the hollow stern, whereby between the sleeve 15 and the surface of the bore, a highly capillary intervening space 16 of annular cross section is provided.
  • the sleeve 15 has at its rear end an integral nose 17, which on screwing the hollow stem 3 into the barrel, is clamped between the former and a shoulder in the bore of the barrel, and serves as an abutment for the sleeve.
  • the sleeve extends so far into the bore of the hollow stem, that, between its front conical end face and the conical base of the hollow stem, a highly capillary interspace arises, which forms a continuation of the highly capillary interspace 16.
  • a casing 18 which clamps a packing device 19 inserted in the bore of the barrel.
  • a bush 20 withdrawable rearwardly up to a stop 18'.
  • Such bush is provided with a grip piece 21.
  • a plunger 22 is arranged, which is secured against falling-out and bears against a rod 24, extending to the front portion of the barrel and under the influence of a compression spring 23.
  • a flexible cleaning wire 25 is secured.
  • a nozzle 26, serving for drawing lines, is screwed on to the screwthreaded neck 12.
  • the nipple 13 meets with its front end the base of the hollow head of the nozzle, whereby a reliable, huid-tight connection is effected between the narrow axial bore of the nipple and the narrow axial bore of the nozzle.
  • the internal diameter of the hollow head of the nozzle is considerably greater than the external diameter of the nipple.
  • a wide intervening space 27 is thus provided.
  • the side wall of the hollow head of the nozzle is perforated by wide transverse bores 28.
  • Two tongues 29, 30 are set in the front portion of the nozzle 26.
  • the tongues resiliently bearing ⁇ against each other, provide a channel extending almost to the tip of the tongues, in continuation of the narrow axial bore of the nozzle.
  • the cleaning wire 25 extends almost to the front end of the channel and forms in the narrow bore of the nipple and of the nozzle and in the channel, -a' highly capillary ink conduit 31, 32, 33.
  • Fig. 4 shows the front end of a nozzle 26 for stencil writing with an angularlyv bent writing ⁇ tube 34.
  • the flexible cleaning wire 25 conforms to the curvature of the writing tube and forms within the writing tube a highly capillary ink conduit 35.
  • the ink flows through the highly capillary intervening space 16, through its continuation and through the ink conduit 31, 32, 33, to the Writing tip.
  • the axial bore 15' in the base of the sleeve 15 is so narrow that with the cleaning wire 2,5 passed therethrough, it does not permit ink to flow even along the cleaning wire, as a result of which the uniformity of the ink iiow cannot be ydisturbed by movements ⁇ of the rod 24.
  • the replacement air penetrates through the air-inlet opening '7 into the overflow chamber 6 and, after consumption of overflow ink contained therein, through the gap 8 and the air passage 9 into the reservoir.
  • the annular groove 1G of the hollow stem 3 prevents the closure of the air-inlet opening 7 by the overflow of ink and permits the venting of the overow chamber by the longitudinal grooves 11.
  • the intermediate space 27 in the head of the nozzle surrounding the nipple 13 does not permit ascent of ink in the head of the nozzle.
  • the nozzles therefore can be exchanged without dirtying the neck 12 and nipple 13.
  • the transverse bores 28 prevent any suction arising on unscrewing the nozzle.
  • the longitudinal groove 14 of the screwthreaded neck 12 serves for removing dried ink residues, which may remain in the screwthreads from filling.
  • the screwthread on the screwthreaded neck of the hollow stern 3 and the internal screwthread in the heads of the nozzles are so proportioned, that the air passage 9 constantly assumes the same position relatively to the writing surface, when the fountain pen is applied to the work.
  • a fountain pen structure furnished at the front end with a neck portion, said neck portion having a nipple provided with an axial bore in capillary communication with the ink reservoir, and with a tip carrying nozzle mounted on said neck portion, said nozzle having a wide rear bore and a narrow bore extending therefrom to the tip of the nozzle in continuation of the axial nipple bore, in which the internal diameter of the wide rear bore of the nozzle is considerably ⁇ larger than the eX- ternal diameter of the nipple, the nipple contacting only with its end face the mounted nozzle with a wide annular space intervening between the nipple and the surface of the rear bore of the nozzle.
  • a fountain pen structure as claimed in claim l wherein the nozzle carries a writing tube.
  • a fountain pen structure as claimed in claim .9 wherein a hollow stem is arranged in thefront part of the casing, a sleeve inserted in said hollow stem, forming with its outer surface Aan ink conduit, within said hollow stem, said ink conduit extending to the axial bore of the nipple, the inner surface of said ⁇ sleeve serving as a guide for the front end of said rod to Vwhich the cleaning wire is connected.
