UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY B. MATTHEWS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
PEN OR PENCIL GUARD.
'SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 506,008, dated October 3, 1893.
Application filed February 28, 1893. Serial No. 464.145. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY B. MATTHEWS, asubject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pen or Pencil Guards, which are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had 'to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in Whch- E Figures l, 2 and 3 represent my new device in several diiferent forms, shown in perspective.
Like letters of reference denote like parts.
The object of my invention is, first: to provide a device which shall prevent the rolling of pens and pencils on inclined desks; second, to provide in the same structure means which will enable the user to lay the article down and also to pick it up for use more readily; third, to prevent the pen from touching the desk, or papers, and blottingthem, and, fourth, to make it applicable to pen-holders and pencils of different thicknesses, and to attain said desirable ends, I construct my said new device in substantially the following manner, namely: I take a piece of springr sheet-metal, and cut it into strips of suitable length and Width and turn,l on each longitudinal edge, a flange a of suitable width at about right angles thereto and then form one end of it into. a ringo leaving a lug or arm c, either straight or curved, as shown in Figs. l and 2. In Fig. 3 the central part of said strip has its ends bent upon itself so as to form a base d upon and parallel to which lay the ends e which approach and are each bent into a half ring placed opposite the other and which, together form the complete ring b, said base thus forming two opposite armsc to said ring.
In use, the pen or pencil is passed through the ring b, which is to fit tightly upon it, and, preferably, is to be near its lower or writing end. A pen provided with this device may be laid upon aslanting desk, either so that it may not roll at all, or so that it may roll, at farthest, only half a revolution before lit will automatically, place itself into the position just mentioned. The flanges@ raise the penholder and pen, some distance from the desk and prevent the pen from coming in contact with the desks, or paper, and at the same time give both ring and'arm great rigidity with very light metal and also facilitate the ready vpicking up and laying down of the pen or HENRY B. MATTHEWS.
