U ITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
' WILLIAM GEORGE ROBINSON PENLEY, OF LONDON, ENGLAND, AssIGNoE TO WOLFE 8t SON, OF SAME PLACE.
PEN-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,554, dated Januar e, 1887.
Application filed July 10, 1886. Serial No. 207,696. (X0 model.) Patented in England July 16, 1885, No. 8,608.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I,WII.LIAM GEORGE Ron- INSON PENLEY, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident ofLondon, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in. Pen-Holders, (for which I have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No-8,608, bearing date July 16, 1885,) of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to pen-holders, and is designed to provide for keeping the hand and fingers in a proper position while writing or learning towrite.
The invention consists in a pen-holder composed of a single piece of metal bent into tubular shape, forming sockets to receive the handle and the pen, and formed integral at one end with the pen-holding nib and at one edge with two flexible flanges extending laterally at different angles, to permit a finger to pass under the inner flange and over the outer flange, to preserve the hand and fingers in correct position on the pen-holding sleeve.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan of my improved pen-holder. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the right-hand side thereof. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the said penholder, showing the manner in which the two projections or flanges support the same when. laid upon a flat surface. Fig. at is a plan illustrating one method of making my improved pen-holder.
a is the handle or stem, and a is the metal portion of the pen-holder.
b is the lower or vertical projection or flange, and c is the upper or lateral projection or flange. In the pen-holder shown in the drawings these projections or flanges and the metal portion a are produced by stamping or cutting from sheet metal a piece of the shape shown in Fig. 4, and then bending the same to the required'form or configuration.
In using the pen-holder the end of the second finger is pressed against the right-hand side of the lower or vertical projection or flange, 12, instead of against the main portion of the pen-holder, thus giving to the writer a The upper or lateral projection or flange, 0, extends from the upper surface of the pen-holder, and when the said holder is in use rests upon the second finger, thus'keeping it in its proper position. The inclination or slope. of the pen and of thewriting is regulated by the elevation or depression of the lateral projection or flange o.
For persons learning to write, the projection or flange 0 may be extended upward so that it will rest upon the middle of the second finger.
llIy improvements afford the following advantages, viz: The hand and fingers are kept in their proper position, and thus caused to hold v the pen-holder correctly when writing or learning to write. My improved pen-holder is especially advantageous in this respect for children, as great difiiculty is experienced in using the said pen-holder except when held in a proper manner. The hand and pen are enabled to travel with greater freedom and precision over the surface of the paper, and the want of elasticity in the pen-holder, by
reason of the rigidity of the materials from which pen-holders are usually made, is met by the elasticity of the projections or flanges. Moreover, the said projections or flanges, as
above stated, afford the additional advantage. I
ger being placed under the rear flange and over the front flange, to thereby preserve the hand and fingers in correct position, substantiall y as set forth and shown.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM GEORGE ROBINSON BENLEX. v
