PEN-CLEANER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 717,595, dated January 6, 1903.
- Application filed September 8, 1902. Serial No. 122,628. (No model.)
To will whom it may concern:
Be it known thatLWILLIAM ELIAS MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cripplecreek, in the county of Teller and State of Colorado, have invented a new and useful Pen-Gleaner, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in pen-cleaners.
The object of the present invention is to improvethe construction of pen-cleaners and to provide a simple, inexpensive and efficient device capable of enabling a pen to be readily cleaned and dried and adapted also to prevent the ink from being thrown out of it by the bristles of a brush.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 isa perspective view of a pen-cleaner constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view. Fig. 4 is a plan view. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view showing another form of brush.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates an oblong case, designed to be constructed of glass or other suitable material and composed of sides 2 and 3, ends& and 5, and an inclined top 6. The casing is provided at its front with a longitudinal opening 7, formed by cutting away a portion of the front side and the top of'the casing. The end i has its upper portion tapered to provide opposite inclined edges, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and the other end has its upper edge inclined downward and rearward from the top of the front side of the casing to the back of the same. The front edge of the top 6 extends from the apex of the end 5 diagonally across the front portion of the o'asing to the apex of the end 4, making the opening -7 tapering in plan view, as shown in Fig. 4, and presenting a front pen-guide, which is adapted to direct a pen across a brush 8. The penguide extends forward from the apex of the end 4 and is disposed diagonally of the brush, and it terminates short of the end thereof. When a pen is introduced into the opening into contact with the brush, and by drawing it longitudinally of the guide the pen is carried diagonally over the brush to the end of the guide, where it is drawn outward by a movement transversely of the brush, thereby cleaning the nibs of the pen and rotating the brush, as hereinafter explained. The particular construction of the casing also prevents ink from being thrown out of the open ing 7 when a pen is wiped onthe brush.
The brush 8 is cylindrical to provide a penwiper of large area, and it is adapted to be rotated by the pen when the same is drawn across it at the end of the pen-guide. This will bring a fresh portion of the brush to the opening, and the entire surface of the brush will be exposed in this manner to cause the same to be uniformly used. The central shaft or body portion 11 of the brush is provided at one end with a tapered portion or journal 12 to fit a bearing-opening of the adjacent end of the casing. The other end of the shaft or body portion of the brush is provided with a longitudinal socket 13, having interior screwthreads and adapted to receive a threaded shank or screw 14:, provided with a tapered or conical head 15 to fit in a bearing at the other end of the casing. The construction may be simplified by arranging an oblong brush 16 within the casing, as illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawings.
It will be seen that the pen-cleaner is exceedingly simple and inexpensivein construction, that it is adapted to prevent it from sents a pen-guide disposed diagonally of the brush and adapted to permit a pen to be quickly and thoroughly cleaned and capable also of rotating the brush to present different portions of the brush for use.
at the rear end of the pen-guide, it is carried splashing from the casing, and that it pre- The bottom of the casing consists of a re- What I claim is ing short of one end thereof, substantially as 1.
