INK-HOLDER FOR PENS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 14, 1910.
Application filed September 4, 1909. Serial No. 516,254.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH A. SIMIsKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at. IVorcester, in the county of \Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ink- Holders for Pens, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to stationery implements, and more particularly to a device for increasing the retentive capacity of pens, and has for its object to provide such a device which may be manufactured from sheet material at a low cost.
An important object of the invention is to provide a device adaptable to use with different sized pens.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it will be understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a bottom view of a penholder equipped with the present invention and having a pen engaged therein, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof, Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view thereof, Fig. 4. is a plan of the blank for the retaining member. Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a modified form.
Referring to the drawings, there is shown a holder comprising a stock 10 having a sleeve 11 engaged thereon, the sleeve being provided with a penengaging split-sleeve 12 of resilient material having end portions 13 disposed closely adjacent one side of the sleeve 11 for resilient engagement with a pen when inserted between the two sleeves as will be readily understood. The sleeve 11 is formed of a rectangular blank of sheet material bent to bring opposite edges into close spaced relation, leaving a slot 11 extending longitudinally of the sleeve and the sleeve 12 is secured to the adjacent sides of the sleeve 11 at the outer end thereof, by which means the sleeve 11 is held securely in place. The inner end of the sleeve is secured to the stock in any suitable manner, but as shown, by means of spurs stamped inwardly from the blank of the sleeve and engaged in the body of the stock. Engaged slidably upon the sleeve 11, there is a collar 15 formed of sheet material and having an integrally formed ink-retaining tongue 16 longitudinally reciprocable within the sleeve 11 and the sleeve 12, the tongue being broader than the slot 13 and being connected with the collar 15 by means of a reduced portion or neck 17 as shown. The tongue is bent slightly downward and is adapted to bear resiliently against a pen engaged between the sleeves 11 and 12, and is slightly concave on the side next the pen and tapered slightly toward its point.
An important feature of the tongue 16 is the fact that its outer extremity is slightly rounded, so that in conjunction with its concavity, when pressed against a pen a small ink chamber 20 is formed as shown in Fig. 2. By this means the ink is allowed to escape from the retainer only through the usual perforation 18 or slit 19 formed in the pen. By this means in addition to the force of capillary attraction, the ink is retained against accidental discharge from the pen by its retention within the chamber 20 as will be readily appreciated.
In Fig. 41 of the drawings there is shown the finished blank from which the tongue and collar 15 are integrally formed. This blank is generally T-shaped, the head of the T forming that portion of the blank from which the collar 15 is formed, and being indicated at 23, while the stem of the T, indicated at 22, is that portion from which the tongue 16 is formed. At the union of 'the stem 22 with the head 23, the stem is cut into from its edges as shown at A, these two cuts being thus in alinement with each other, but being spaced at their inner ends. From the inner ends of these cuts A, cuts 24 extend at right angles thereto and in parallel spaced relation into the head 23, to points approximately upon the central longitudinal axis of the head 23. There is thus formed the neck 17, referred to in the foregoing, which springs from a point between the edges of the collar 15, as shown clearly in Fig. 2. The shoulders formed at the side of this neck 17 by the cuts A, extend laterally beyond the slot 141 of the penholder, and, as shown in Fig. 3, the corners adjacent to these shoulders are curved to conform to the curvature of the sleeve. The lateral extension of a portion of the tongue 16 beyond the sides of the slot 14 is necessary in order that the tongue 16 may be held in proper position and be prevented from being bent down at the point of its union with the collar 15.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the tongue and collar are formed integral without the use of rivets or other connecting devices, that no material is wasted in the formation of the neck 17 and that guiding portions are provided both interiorly and exteriorly oi the sleeve at both sides of the tongue 16.
In Fig. 5 there is shown a modification of the device in which the blank for the retainer is formed simply of a T-shaped piece of metal, and the neck portion 17 is formed simply by bending the oppositely extending arms 26 inwardly until they reach centrally of the tongue, then bending them outwardly again in spaced relation with the tongue forming the channel 27 in which the side of the sleeve 11 may be reciprocated.
lVhat is claimed is:
As an article of manufacture, apen holder comprising a longitudinally split pen receiving sleeve and an adjustable ink retaining device formed from a T-shaped blank of sheet metal cut inwardly at the union of its head portion and its stem portion from both sides, said cuts being spaced from each other at their inner ends, said blank being cut again in parallel lines at right angles to the first named cuts and meeting the inner ends thereof, said second named cuts extending into the head of the Tshaped blank to points midway between the edges thereof to form a neck connected with the stem of the blank and with the head of the blank at its ends, said blank having its head portion bent to form a collar and engage around the split sleeve of the pen holder, said neck being bent at an angle atits point of union with the head and extended inwardly through the slot of the sleeve, said stem of the blank being curved forwardly through the sleeve and disposed with its forward end in position to engage a pen located in the sleeve, the end edges of the stem of the blank adjacent to the neck extending laterally beyond the slot of the sleeve within the sleeve.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH A. SIMISKY. \Vitnesses JOSEPH J. KELLEY, HENRY L. PARKER.
