SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,548, dated March 14, 1905.
Application filed June 17, 1904. Serial No. 213,041. i
To rr/ZZ III/"mm if Inf/,y concern:
Be itknown thatI, DAVID L. CLAYTON, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Amoret, in the county of Bates and State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Inking-Pads,- of which the following is a speciiication.
This invention relates particularly to an inking-pad suitable for hand and other stamps, and the basic idea thereof is the use of the compressed pith from cornstalks as the iilling or inking material 0f the pad. An inking pad constructed of this material has the advantages of cheapness, durability, and cleanliness.
A pad constructed according to the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top view thereof. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section.
Referring' specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates a box formed of tin or other suitable material. This is filled with pieces or sections of compressed cornstalk-pith, (indicated at 7.) The pith extracted from the cornstalk is cut in pieces of the required length, compressed by suitable means, and then set on end in the box. The compression of the pith increases the durability of the material without depriving it of its absorbent qualities, and it will be readily understood that the materia] may be Very cheaply produced. The ink is applied to the top of this {illing and is absorbed thereby. The woody fibers contained in the pith act to clean the type or stamp, so that the pad is practically self-cleaning. Said woody fibers being of tougher material than the rest of the pith wearslower. Consequently their ends normally project very slightly above the rest of the pith, forming stiff brush-like projections which remove any accumulated matter from the stamp or type.
The degree of compression of the pith is governed by circumstances, being great enough to insure durability without making the pith so hard that it will not hold the ink.
What I claim as new, and desire .to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. An inking-pad the ink-retaining material of which is composed of sections of pith presented endwise.
2. Aninking-pad comprising a holder, and a plurality of sections of compressed pith standing on end therein.
3. An inking-pad the ink-retaining material of which has stiff fibers therein the ends of which project slightly beyond the surface of the pad.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
DAVID L. CLAYTON.
