FOUNTAIN-PEN.v

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 498,514, dated May 3 0,` 1893. Application filed September 27, 1892. Serial No. 447,058. (No model.)

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing yat Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useand repulsion for this purpose, by the employ-y ment of a conical helical ink conducting shaft of Wire, arranged Within the ink reservoir and connected to the pen for feeding the same continuously and preventing too copious a flow or the gushing outof the ink around the pen:

particularly When the reservoir is nearly emp-v ty: and the invention consists in the application of such a conducting shaft in such relation and in the construction, combination and arrangement of the various parts as hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein- Figure 1. is a central longitudinal section of a device embodying my invention and Fig. 2. a transverse section on the line 2 2. of Fig. l.

A-represents the barrel or ink reservoir and forms the handle of the pen. B. the pen section or nozzle, open at both ends and secured to the open end of the barrel by a screw coup- I ling in the usual manner.

Y tact with the split portion of the pen and having the ink channel E. extending along its entire length immediately underneath the pen: its rear portion extends into the ink reservoir and forms a support and place for atof which areA extended into thebarrel unt-il the larger coils are in superficial contact with the interior surface of the barrel as shown in Fig. .1.A In iillingthe reservoir I prefertov leave a'space for this coil at the open end:v

then when in use, ink will not escape between the coils, but will follower be attracted along the Wire down on to the plug and'ow out on to the pen through the channel E. thus feeding the pen continuously Iwith an even Aflow sufficient for Writing: while by not permitting its escape into the chamber in front of the coil the ink is kept back and not permitted to gush out upon the paper.

The plug D. may be made large enough to hold the penin place and wedge F. dispensed With if found desirable.

I-claiml. In a fountain pen, the combination with the ink reservoir, the detachable portion or nozzle, the pen holding plug, having the ink channel, and the pen, of the ink conducting coil or Wire, having the apex, or. lower end,

attached tothe plug, and the enlarging coils extended into the barrel increasing in circumference until the larger coils are in superficial contact with the interior surface of the birrehwhereby the inl; is fed continuously to the pen and prevented from gushing out, sub- In testimony whereof I aflixm y signature in l presence of two Witnesses.
