UNITED STATES' PATENT OFFICE.

AUGUSTE MASSON AND PIERRE HUBERT GARY, OF PARIS, FRANCE.

PEN-HOLDER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,543, dated October 17, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, AUGUSTE MASSON and PIERRE HUBERT CARY, of Paris, France, have invented an Improvementin Pen-Holders; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Our invention consists of a holder having a tube attached to the same, combined with an exterior sliding ring or tube and an inner split tube, so that the pen may be disengaged from the holder, as fully described hereinafter, by the movement ot' the exterior ring or tube.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation.

On reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1, Drawing No. 1, is an exterior view of our improved pelrholder; Figs. 2 and 3, sectional views drawn to an enlarged scale, showing the parts in different positions; Fig. 4, a section on the line 1 2, Fig. 2; Fig. 5, a section on the line 3 4, Fig. 3; Figs. 6, 7, and 8, detached views of the parts of holder; Fig. 9, Drawing No. 2, an exterior view ot' a modification ot' the pen-holder; Figs. 10 and 12, enlarged sectional views, showing the parts in different positions; Figs. l1 and 15, sections on the lines 1, 2, 3, 4, Figs. 10 and 12; and Figs. 13 and l4, detached vicws ot' parts ot' the holder.

On reference to the views in Drawing No. 1, A is the handle of the holder, to one end of which is secured a metal tube, O, a portion of the latter being cut away, as best shown in Fig. 6, and in one side of the tube is a slot, c, for a purpose described hereinafter. On the tube U slides another and longer tube, d, and within the latter is secured a split tube, R, ot' the form shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 7, a pin,g, which secures the tube R to one side of the tube d, also passing through the slit in the opposite side of the tube It, through the slot c in the tube O, and into the opposite side ofthe tube d.

When a pen has to be inserted into the holder the parts are first brought to the position shown in Fig. 3. The holder is then held through the tube in the direction ot' the pen,l

which is thus pushed by the tube O from its position between the tubes lt and el and from the holder.

It will be seen that the movement of the tube d on the tube O is limited by the slot cin the latter, and that the pin g, whileit does not obstruct the longitudinal movement of the tubes, eft'ectu ally prevents the same from turning.

In the modifications shown'in Drawing No. 2, a slot-ted tube, E, is attached to the holder. as before, and a split tube, r, is secured within the saine in the same manner as the tube Ris secured within the tube d. In this` instance, however, a ring, l), slides on the tube O, and a pin, g, on the inner side of the ring projects through the slot c in lthe tube O and into the slit in the tube 1', so that when the pen is introduced between the tubes o' and C the ring will be moved to the position shown in Fig. 10,

'the pen heilig thrown out by moving the ring D to the position shown in Fig. 12.

We claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Ihe handle A, with its` tube O, combined with an exterior sliding ring or tube and an inner split tube, so that the pen may be disengaged from the holder by the movement ofthe sliding ring or tube on the tube O, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this speeication before two subscribing witnesses.
