JACOB E. BARTEL, OF ASTORIA,-OREGON.
INK-FOUNTAIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 581,402, dated April 27, 1897.
Applicationfilcd September 24, 1896- Serial No. 606,851. (No model.)
To all whom it may concernr Be it known that I, J AOOB E. BARTEL,a citizen of the United States, residing atAstoria, in the county of Olatsop and State of Oregon,
have invented a new and useful Ink-Fountain,
of which the following is a specification.
Thisinvention aims to provide a device to be used in connection with ink-bottles and kindred receptacles to prevent spilling of the ink and the flooding of the pen-point when dipping the latter into a receptacle containing ink for the purpose of charging the pen with a quantity of ink, said device being of simple construction and capable of being I 5 placed upon the market and come within the reach of all.
The device is constructed so as to be applied to receptacles having different-sized neck-openings and which will be practically 2o proof against injury from the pen-point when had to the accompanying drawings and the 0 from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and to a full disclosure of the invention an adaptation thereof is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ink- 3 5 fountain constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section thereof. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, showing the parts having a different outline. Fig. 4 shows the upper portion of the body shaped to be sprung over the neck of a bottle or receptacle.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in the several views of the drawings by the same reference-characters.
The ink fountain comprises, essentially, three parts-a body 1, plunger 2, and an elastic connecting-envelop 3. The body and plunger may be of any material found best adapted for the purpose and will be most generally constructed of rubber, which is practically indestructible and free from injury by being compressed or struck a smart blow besides being susceptible of securing a tight joint bethe fountain may be fitted.
The upper portionof the body flares slightly,
thereby adapting the device for bottles or re-' ceptacles having necks or openings of different size, and this is an important feature since it increases the range of usefulness of the device. The body contracts rapidly at a point about midway of its ends, as shown at 4, and the lower portion 5 may taper slightly or have its walls parallel, according to the taste of the manufacturer.
The part 2 dips or plunges into the ink and from its function is designated as a plunger and is approximately funnel shaped, and its upper flaring end is of larger diameter than the neck portion 5 of the body 1 and, like the said body, is made comparatively thick, so as to be heavy and stout, to resist the action of the pen-point when thrust thereagainst.
The part 3, connecting the body and plunger, is elastic and envelops the lower portion of the body and is connected with the latter immediately above the contracted portion 4 and is secured to the plungerat or near its upper end. This envelop or elastic connection 3 is formed of thin rubber, either in tubular form or of a sheet rolled into tubular form and cemented together at its meeting edges and to the parts 1 and 2 where the edge portions meet therewith. The connecting-envelop 3 surrounds the lowerport-ion of the body and forms a space thereabout and is intended to be stretched or extended when fitting the fountain to a bottle or receptacle, so as to se cure the requisite atmospheric pressure essential for the successful operation of the device or fountain. The lower end of the body extends slightly into the upper portion of the plunger or terminates about in a plane corresponding with its upper edge, so as to prevent injurious contact of the pen-point with the elastic connecting-envelop 3 when thrusting the pen into the fountain to charge it \with a supply of ink.
The construction shown in Fig. 4 does not differ materially from that illustrated in the other figures, except that the upper portion" of the body is flared and recurved to spring over the neck of a widemouthed bottle or receptacle, thereby further increasing the range of usefulness of the device.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is An improved article of manufacture, an ink-fountain formed entirely of rubber or like yielding material, and consisting of a body having its upper portion flaring and its lower portion reduced and extended, forming a neck, a stout funnel-shaped plunger having its upper end. of larger diameter than the lower extremity of'the said neck and having the latter extending therein, and an elastic envelop surrounding the aforesaid neck and forming a space thereabout, and cemented at its lower end to the upper edge portion of the plunger and at its upper end to the lower portion of the body above the neck, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
J. E. BARTEL.
