THEODORE N. GOFFE, OF SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI.
PENHOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 19' 1907. Serial No. 389.137-
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THEODORE N. GoFFE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Green and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Penholders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to penholders, and
has for its object to provide a suitable guide or guard to enable an ordinary pen to be used for ruling, without the danger of blotting or smearing usually attendant upon the use of an ordinary pen for ruling in connection with a straight edge such as that of a ruler.
The attachment is so constructed that it may be advanced for use, or retracted to inoperative position, when desired, and it is provided with means whereby an adjustment is permitted for any lengthof pen point, so asto bring the guard or guide in propler position for the pen point in use.
T e invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side View of the pen provided with the attachment. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 ist a perspective view of the barrel of the pen, detached. Fig. 4 is a view of the under side of the pen and penholder.
Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates the body of the penholder reduced at the lower end to receive the barrel 7 containing the plug 7 betweenwhich the ordinary pen point is held.
The body of the holder is grooved as indicated at 9, said groove extending under the barrel and communicating with a bore 9 in the plug. This groove and bore holds a rod 10 which is slidableup and down therein and is provided at its rear or upper end with a thumb piece 11 so that it may be conveniently advanced or retracted. When advanced or projected the rod extends down within the pen'point and is slightly offset, on the left hand side, from the middle line thereof, so that the lower end of the rod is located in position to contact with. the edge of a ruler when the pen is used for ruling. This prevents the pen point from touching the edge of the ruler and conse uently prevents the escape or flow of in from the point on to the ruler. When the rod is retracted, it is withdrawn within the body of the penholder and does not interfere with the use of the pen in the ordinary way. The
rod will be made to work sufliciently tight in the groove to hold it in either position.
The device is capable of cheap production, because it does not call for any modification of an ordinary penholder, except the grooving of the body and the placing of the rod therein. It will be found particularly useful for bookkeepers and accountants who have need to frequently change their pen from an ordinary pen to a ruling pen. With the present device, this can be done instantly bya simple movement of the thumb of the hand holding the penholder. The rod can be quickly placed or removed by slipping and springing it into or out of the rear end of the groove. The u per end of the barrel forms a stop to limit tie advance of the rod, since the finger piece will strike against the barrel when the rod is advanced to proper position. In order to adjustably limit the advance of the rod the upper or rear end of the barrel has a series of notches 12, of different depths, and the thumb piece enters one of these notches'when it is shoved. Obviously with a long pen point the rod will have to be shoved down farther to bring it to proper position than with a short pen point and in order to stop or limit the advance of the rod at the point suitable the barrel may be turned to bring a different notch in line with the groove, and, accordingly the advance of the rod will be dropped in position corresponding to the depth of the notch which is registered with the groove.
1. A penholder having a rod movable up and down therein, with its lower end beside the pen point, to form a guide therefor, and an adjustable stop to limit the downward movement of the rod.
2. A penholder having a groove in the lower end thereof, a barrel on said end provided with a plurality of notches of different depths in its upper end, which notches may each be registered with the groove by turning the barrel, and a rod forming a guide for the pen point, slidable up and down in the groove and offset at the upper end to enter the notch so'registered.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
THEODORE N. GOFFE.
