TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.:
Beit known that I, THmIAS, BELL, of New York, corner of One Hnndred and Twenty-Fifth street and 'Fourth avenue, in the county of' New York, and in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful vImprovement in Ink-Wells and Covers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyinroir drawing, forming part of this invention, in which drawing- Figure 1 represents atransverse section of an ink-well constructedaccording to my invention, when the same is closed.
Figure 2 is a similar section of the same when open.
Figure Sis a section of a modification thereof, showing the ink-well closed.
' Figure 4 isa similar-view of the same whenthe ink-weliis'open.
'Similar letters indicate corresponding p arts.
This invention relates to an improvement'in'ink-wells with sliding covers, and it consists in providing'eith'er the under surface ofthe cover, or that portion of the table or desk on which the cover s-lidcs, when being opened, with a projection or rdge,in such a manner that in opening the cover the inner surface of the same is thrown o from the surface of the tableior desk, and that portion of said table or desk next to Ithe ink-well is preserved frombeing soiled by inkadhering to the under surface of the covers.
.Arepresents en ink-well, which is inserted into the desk or table B in the ordinary manner. Said ink-well is providedn'ith a sliding covcr,vO, which swings 'on a pivot, a, and which may be made of cast iron or anyother `suitable material.
In inkwells witlrslidin'g covers ofthe ordinary construction, the ink is liable'to adhere tothe inner or lunder surfaces of the covers, andinopening the covers thatportion ofthe desk or table adjoining the ink-wellsis liable to become soiled, and the ink thus transferred to the table ordeskadheres to the fingers or hands of the persons dipping their pens in the ink-wells. i
On 'account of this diiiculty, ink-wells with Vsliding covers have been abandoned, particularly in .'schools, and hingedcovers have been substituted.; But hinged covers are liable to be knocked off, if pushed against when open, by a slate or book, and forthis reason a sliding cover will be preferredin most schools, provided it can be made so that it will not soil the surface of the-table or desk.
'This desideratnm I ha'veaeife'cted either by applyingto the` under. surface of the cover a projection, b, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, or by providingthe. sirfnce of the table or desk with a 'projection or ridge, e, as shown in `figs. Sand 4. In either case,-if the cover is opened, the projection I) or ridge c throws the unden surface of the cover off from the' surface ofthe table or desk, and the ink which may adhere to. the inner surface of' the cover is not liable to be transferred to the table or desk. A
What I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,isl ,l
The arrangement of a projection orridgo either on the under surface of a sliding ink-wellccver or on that part of the ink-well table or desk over which the cover passes when beingopcncd, substantially as and for the purpose described.
THOS. .BELL
