PEN HOLDER.
No. 365,810; Patented Jul 5, 1887.
wnmmw UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
' VIRGIL M. HARRIS, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
PEN-HOLDER.
SPECIFI TI N forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,810, dated July 5, 1887. Application filed Maroh 1, 1887. Serial No. 229,277. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, VIRGIL M. HARRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Pen-Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention has for its object to obviate the undue constraint and consequent cramping and paralysis of the fingers induced by. a continued use of the ordinary pen-holder.
It consists in the application to a pen-holder of two rings embracing, respectively, (in the manner shown in the drawings,) the first and second fingers, between which and the thumb the pen-holder is held and supported by the rlngs.
On the accompanying drawings,Figu re 1 is a side elevation representing my improved pen-holder as held by the hand when writing; Fig. 2, a front view of the pen-holder seen in Fig. 1; and Figs. 3 and 4, front views of modifications thereofllike letters of reference denoting like parts in all the figures.
a represents a pen-holder, which is prefer ably made as short as possible, and held by the hand for writing between the ends of the first and second fingers and thumb. From' each side of the pen-holder a, where it passes between the fingers intermediate to their knuckle and middle joints, projects a ring, I),
hitherto communicated to the ends of the fingers and thumb when using an ordinary penholder are relieved and transferred by the rings 1) to the base and strongest parts of the fingers, which are thereby rendered less liable to fatigue and cramp. By its use also a readier means ofholding the pen-holder a is afforded and the operation of the pen facilitated.
The rings 1) may be made of wire passed through and secured in or affixed to the penholder a, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2; or they maybe made of wood, gutta-percha, rubber, metal, or other suitable material in one with the pen-=holder a, as seen in Fig. 3.
It is obvious that my invention is equally applicable to a lead-pencil.
I claim as my invention,
The combination, with a pen-holder, of rings 1), being opposite to and in the same plane with each other, substantially asshown, and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature,in presence of two witnesses, this 26th day of February, 1887.
VIRGIL M. HARRIS.
