Definitions

  • the socket element is usually designed for the reception of an entire set of writing utensils, such as a set of tube writing pens each pen being for the production of a trace of different thickness.
  • the socket element is tiltable and thus permits the writing utensil to be placed upright irrespective as to whether the penholder stands on a level surface or whether it has been suspended.
  • a covering hood is conventionally provided and placed over the socket element and the writing utensils, this hood being supported on cooperating edges of the carrier.
  • a penholder for a writing utensil wherein a socket element for the reception of at least one writing utensil, is tiltably mounted in a carrier, and wherein there is fixed to the carrier a hail of which the upper end extends over so as to be capable of bearing down on the upper end of a writing utensil when the socket element containing the writing utensil is in a retaining position.
  • This form of construction will therefore prevent-the writing utensil from being taken out or from falling out whilst the socket element is in retaining position.
  • the socket element may contain a receptacle made of a soft elastically deformable material, the upper edge of the receptacle serving as a seating and sealing edge for cooperation with an annular shoulder or collar on the writing utensil. This arrangement ensures that the point of the writing utensil will not touch the bottom of the socket element.
  • the upper end of the bail will apply gentle downward pressure and urge the writing utensil down into the yielding receptacle.
  • the writing utensil will thus be safely held in its socket irrespective of the position of the carrier and at the same time the writing point cannot dry out.
  • the part of the bail that extends over the end of the writing utensil may project beyond the end, and the projecting portion of the part of the bail may have an inclined underside.
  • the present penholder may be designed to retain the writing utensil in a vertical or horizontal position.
  • the bottom of the carrier and the outer face of the bail may be flat to permit the penholder to stand securely on the underside of the carrier or to lie on the outside face of the bail.
  • part of the bail may be wedge-shaped to permit it to be slidably'inserted into corresponding connecting means on a support and to be removed therefrom whenever desired.
  • An alternative means of attachment may be the provision of connecting elements on the side walls of the carrier that are parallel to the tilting plane of the socket element, one side wall being provided with a female connecting element and the other side wall with a corresponding male element, the connecting element preferably being of dovetail cross-section.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation partly in section of a penholder
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the penholder shown in FIG. 1, and
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the penholder shown in FIG. 1.
  • the penholder shown in the drawings consists of a carrier 2 in which a socket element 3 is pivotally mounted to tilt about an axis 6.
  • a socket element 3 is pivotally mounted to tilt about an axis 6.
  • the bottom end of the socket element is embraced by the carrier on three sides.
  • the socket element can be tilted about its axis 6 towards the open side, the tilting being limited by a step 11 striking a projection 13 formed in the carrier 2 (FIG. 1).
  • a bail 4 Attached to the side of the carrier remote from the open side is a bail 4 with a curved upper end 4 adapted to arch over the upper end of a writing utensil ll when the socket is in its retaining position, i.e., in the position in which the socket element bears against the inside of the rear wall of the carrier remote from the open side. This is the position illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the bottom of the socket contains a receptacle 5 made of a soft and elastically yielding material, such as silicone rubber.
  • the writing utensil which is here only schematically indicated, and which may be a tube writing pen, has an annular shoulder or collar 7 which sealingly rests on the upper edge of the receptacle 5 and thus prevents the writing or drawing point of the writing utensil from touching the bottom of the socket.
  • the distance between the top edge of the receptacle 5 and the underside of the arched top 4' of the bail is slightly less than the distance between the annular shoulder 7 and the upper end of the writing utensil.
  • the arched portion 4' of the bail will apply a gentle pressure to the writing utensil, keeping the annular shoulder 7 in sealing contact with the deformed receptacle.
  • the utensil For removing the writing utensil 1 from its holder, the utensil, together with the socket 3, is tilted clockwise (in FIG. 1) about the axis 6 until the step 11 strikes the projection 13. The writing utensil can then be taken out.
  • the utensil For locating the writing utensil in the holder the utensil, together with the socket is tilted back into the retaining position shown in FIG. 1. This brings the upper end of the writing utensil 1 into contact with the arched portion 4', but the sloping edge of the underside of the arch 4 prevents the end of the pen from fouling the edge by guiding it smoothly underneath the arch which then applies the gentle pressure as above described.
  • the underside of the carrier 2 and the outer surface of the bail 4 are flat so that the holder can stand on its base or lie on the outside of the bail. In either position the socket can be tilted to permit the writing utensil to be inserted into the socket without any trouble.
  • part 8 of the bail 4, which forms part of the holder 2 may be wedge-shaped to permit of its insertion into a suitably contrived receiving means.
  • connecting elements having a dovetail cross-section may be provided on the external walls of the carrier that are parallel with the tilting plane of the socket element.
  • One of the outside walls may be formed with a male connecting element 9, whereas the opposite external wall may be formed with the correspondingly shaped female element 10.
  • the male element 9 is insertable into the female element 10' of a support plate 12.
  • This support plate may be attached to a drawing board or to any other suitable base.
  • the female element 10' has the same shape as the female element 10 on the carrier 2.
  • a connecting element on another holder similar to the male element 9 can be inserted into the female element 10. In this way two or more holders can be coupled together side by side and held by the same support plate.
  • the carrier and the socket of the present penholder may be conveniently made of a plastics material, preferably a transparent plastics material.
  • a penholder for a writing utensil comprising:
  • A. a carrier including:
  • both said bottom and back portions having flat external faces adapted for selectively positionally supporting said penholder in an upright or horizontal position;
  • an open end writing utensil receiving socket element pivotally mounted in said carrier mounting compartment between said spaced opposed side portions and being tiltable outwardly through said open face to a utensil removing position; and the external walls of said side portions being parallel to the tilting plane of said socket element and provided with connecting extensions, one being a female connecting element and the other a corresponding male connecting element;
  • a bail extending from said carrier back portion as a continuation thereof, said bail having a flat side as a continuation of said carrier back portion to facilitate horizontal positional support of said penholder, and said bail having an upper angularly disposed free end extending over the upper end of the writing utensil when mounted in said socket element, and in resilient bearing engagement therewith for selectively operatively retaining said utensil in said socket element, and permitting removal therefrom with said socket element tilted outwardly from said mounting compartment, said utensil receiving socket element being generally rectangularly configured and having a generally cylindrical shaped lower end, and means pivotally interconnecting said lower end between said spaced opposed side portions, a raised projection on the interior surface of said bottom portion, a raised step on said lower cylindrical end of said utensil receiving socket element, said projection and said step cooperating upon tilting of said socket element out of said mounting compartment as a positional stop means for the socket element in a writing utensil removal position.
