Description
May 22, 1962 s. N. ROSENTHAL INKWELLS Filed Dec. 8, 1960 ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,035,542 INKWELLS Sidney N. Rosenthal, Belle Harbor, N.Y., assignor to Speedry Chemical Products, Inc., Richmond Hill, N.Y. Filed Dec. 8, 1960, Ser. No. 74,507 3 Claims. (Cl. 118-268) This application relates to ink wells of the type disclosed in Rosen-thal Patent No. 2,629,359 of February 24, 1953, and particularly discloses a novel top construction for such devices.
For an understanding of the top construction hereof, reference should be had to the following specification and the attached drawings.
In this drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a cross-sectional elevational view of the top construction, including the top portion only of an inkwell bottle.
FIGURE. 2 is a view of the pad and wick assembly.
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view of the wick and clinch ring assembly.
FIGURES 4 and 5 are section views as if on lines 4-4 and 5--5 respectively of FIGURE 1.
Patent No. 2,629,359 shows an ink well comprising a bottle having a considerably greater horizontal diameter than vertical height as shown and having an open top normally closed by a top construction including a cover tightly threaded onto the upper end of the bottle. This application relates to a novel top construction whose basic element is a cap or cover 11 in the form of a large area sheet metal flat cover having a threaded flange 12 for detachably securing it to the open top of the bottle B. Secured to cover 11 is a deep, vertical, hollow, open top pen holding well 14 in a central hole 15 of cover 11 and projecting upwardly from cover 11. The well is provided with an outturned flange 16 at its lower end, underlying the edge of cover hole 15 and an annular groove 14:: above the flange for receiving and overlying the edge of cover hole 15. These tightly secure the cover 11 to the bottom of the well 14.
A spongy pad or insert 20 of felt or sponge rubber is located in the bottom of well 14 and is so dimensioned that it is spaced from the side of well 14 to provide an air passage 21. Pad 20 has a central bore 22 in which is held by friction and compression the upper end of a felt wick 24 which is long enough to have a loose end which projects below well 14 and down into the bottle and thus dips into the ink in such bottle or to engage a felt pack saturated with ink and disposed in the bottle.
A barbed washer 30 in well 14 below pad 20 has its barbs 31 biting into well 14 and engaging it and thus locking washer 30 to well 14. Such washer 30 bottoms pad 20 and supports it in well 14 firmly and particularly against pressure applied to pad 20 by the nib of the pen dipped into the well and wiped on the upper end of wick 24 to be wetted with ink from wick 24.
A clinch ring 34 is clinched to the lower end of the wick and such ring lodges tightly against washer 30 to secure wick 24 and thus pad 20 to which wick 24 is secured against moving upwardly in well 14, it being understood that wick 24 fits so tightly in pad 20 that ring 34 also inhibits pad 20 from being moved accidentally upwards into well 14.
The cover construction is completed by a centrally apertured paper disc or gasket 40 in cap 11 and held in place by rolled thread 12 of such cap 11.
t will be observed that air passage through the top construction is provided by air space 21 and by the openings in barbed washer 30 between barbs 31.
It will also be observed that turning of flange 16 of well 14 outwardly in hole 15 of cover 11 is relied upon 3,035,542 Patented May 22, 1962 as a single operation in assembly to secure well 14 to cover 11 and thus to prevent the uni-, comprising pad 20 and wick 24 locked to well 14 by washer 30, from being forced down in well 14 and thus into the ink bottle.
Now having described the construction herein disclosed, reference should be had to the claims which follow,
I claim.
1. A top construction for a combined pen holder, nib wetter, and ink container device useful to contain a supply of ink for a felt nib pen and to hold said pen when not in use and to wet and maintain its nib wet when the pen is held in place by the device, the latter comprising an open top ink bottle having a relatively large ratio of horizontal area to vertical height so as to be stable on a table or desk even while holding a pen; said top construction comprising a large area flat sheet metal cover having a central hole and also having a threaded flange for detachably securing it to the open topof a bottle; a deep vertical hollow open top pen holding well in the central hole of said cover and projecting upwardly from the cover and having at its lower end an outturned flange underlying the edge of the cover hole and gripping it and thus securing the well to the cover in the cover hole; a spongy pad insert in the bottom of the well and spaced from its side and having a central bore containing a felt wick projecting below the Well; said wick and pad frictiongripping each other; a barbed washer in the well below the pad with its barbs engaging the well and locking it to the well to bottom the pad and support it in the well; means secured to the lower end of the wick below and against the Washer to secure the wick and pad against moving upward in the well; and a centrally apertured gasket in the cap below such means.
2. A top construction for a combined pen holder, nib wetter, and ink container device useful to contain a supply of ink for a felt nib pen and to hold said pen when not in use and to wet and maintain its nib wet when the pen is held in place by the device, the latter comprising an open top ink bottle having a relatively large ratio of horizontal area to vertical height so as to be stable on a table or desk even while holding a pen; said construction comprising a large area flat sheet metal cover having a central hole and also having a threaded flange for detachably securing it to the open top of a bottle; a deep vertical hollow open top pen holding well in the central hole of said cover and projecting upwardly from the cover and having at its lower end an outturned flange underlying the edge of the cover hole and gripping it and thus securing the well to the cover in the cover hole; a spongy pad insert in the bottom of the well and having a central bore containing a felt wick projecting below the well; said wick and pad friction-gripping each other; means in the well to bottom the pad and support it in the well; means securing the wick and pad against moving upward in the well; and a centrally apertured gasket in the cap below the Well.
3. A top construction for a combined pen holder, nib wetter, and ink container device useful to contain a supply of ink for a felt nib pen and to hold said pen when not in use and to wet and maintain its nib wet when the pen is held in place by the device, the latter comprising an open top ink bottle having a relatively large ratio of horizontal area to vertical height so as to be stable on a table or desk even while holding a pen; said top construction comprising a large area flat sheet metal cover having a central hole and also having a threaded flange for detachably securing it to the open top of a bottle; a deep vertical hollow open top pen holding well in the central hole of said cover and projecting upwardly from the cover and having at its lower end an outturned flange underlying the edge of the cover hole and gripping it and thus se'curingthe well to the cover in the cover hole; a spongy pad insert in the bottom of the well and spaced from its side and having a central bore containing a felt wick projecting below the well; said wick and pad frictiongripping each other; a barbed washer in the well below 7 the pad with its barbs engaging the Well and locking it moving upward in the well; and a centrally apertured gasket in the cap below the well.
