WILLIAM H. SCHWEIZER, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

WRITING-PEN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 20, 1908.

Application filed January 31, 1908. Serial No. 413,512.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatl, WILLIAM H. Sonwni znn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Writing-Pens, of which the following is a specification. A

My invention relates to an improvement in pens, the object being to provide a writing pen which will write a maximum number of letters without refilling, having to a limited degree the qualities of a fountain pen, while at the same time it is a pen which may be used with an ordinary pen holder.

With the foregoing object in view, my invention consists in a pen having wings bent into shape to form cylinders open at both ends, the cylinders being provided with a plurality of perforations therein, that the air within the cylinders may be readily excluded therefrom when the pen is inserted into the ink, thereby causing the cylinders to become filled with the ink to a greater degree than they would be otherwise, as more or less space within thecylinders would be taken up by the air therein contained, to the exclusion of the ink, thereby lessening the carrying or holding capacity of the cylinders. The cylinders are formed in a manner to provide a space between them; in some instances, owing to the particular style or construction of the pen, this space is more or less essential to the effectiveness of the pen while in others it can as readily be omitted without any material detriment. The space between the cylinders may be located centrally to the slit and hole of the pen or on either side thereof, so that all combine to hold the ink and pay it out as it is required in the operation of writing.

My invention further consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of a pen embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is the blank before being perforated; Fig. 3, is a similar view after it is perforated, and Fig. A is a cross section on line w00 of Fig. 1.

A represents the body of the pen, having the usual concavity throughout its length, it being preferably rounded at one end where it enters the penliolder and pointed at the other end. It may be made in various shapes and styles. The pointed end 1 has the usual slit 2 and orifice 3, whereby the pen is divided into the nibs 4.4c. At the sides the wings 5-5 are formed, preferably, as an integral part thereof, the forward ends of the wings are sharp and pointed, as at 6-6, extending well down toward and under the point of the pen. In the completed pen not only is the body portion concaved in the usual fashion, but also the wings are formed up until their edges lie against the concaved surface of the pen thus forming the cylinders 7-7 these are perforated at 8 andare open at each end and preferably approach each other closely, leaving a space 9 more or less narrow between them, while their lower ends taper, as shown, the points 6-6 extending well down toward and under the point 1 of the pen in order to supply the ink evenly to the point of the pen. In this way a pen is formed which carries a large supply of ink, which ink is made to flow gradually along the points of the pen as it is required for writing, each of the cylinders and the orifice 3 contribute to-hold the ink and to supply itas required, the perforations 8 not only increase the carrying capacity of the cells but contribute materially in controlling an even flow of ink at the point 1.

Slight changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction as herein set forth.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Lettors Patent, is

1. A pen of the character described, comprising a body part provided withperforated integral side wings, the said side wings being pointed on the forward ends thereof and formed into open-ended cylinders beneath the under side of the said body part, with the said points extended well down and under the point of the said body' part, sub stantially as described.

2. A pen of the character described, comprising a body part having perforated integral side wings which are formed into openended cylinders beneath the under side of the pen, substantially as described.

3. A pen of the character described, comprising a concaved body part pointed on one end thereof, and having a slit separating the point into nibs and terminating in an orifice provided in the said body part, integral perforated side Wings formed into cylinders In testimony whereof I affix my signature vI'ithlin the said concaved blody part3, each of in presence of two Witnesses. t1e ower ends of the saic win 's ein tapered to a point, Which points a re extei lded WILLIAM SOHWVEIZER' 5 Well down and under the point provided on Witnesses:

the said body part, substantially as de- E. WALTON BREWINGTON, scribed. MARY M. MAGRAW.
