Improvement in Inkholders.
EDWARD ADOLPHUS VENTRIS 9 Kings Road Reading Berkshire Boot manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
According to this my invention I construct of glass, or other suitable material, a
chamber to contain a quantity of ink. On the outside of this chamber is a worm.
thread about three quarters of an inch deep to receive the top or cover.
The top
part can be also of glass or other suitable material & inside would be formed a
screw thread to screw on the bottom chamber. One or more openings can be made
in the top for the pen to dip into to receive the ink. In the centre or at the side
a hole with a worm can be made to receive a thumb screw. Attached to the
thumb screw would be a washer made of glass or any other suitable material
sufficiently large to prevent the pen from going into the ink beyond the depth of the
said washer, and by turning the thumb screw the washer can be lowered or raised
to regulate the supply of ink to the pen. The chamber can be made of any depth
to contain a large or small quantity of ink. The chamber can also be divided to
hold various colored inks, a separate thumb screw & washer being used for each.
Dated this 20th day of December 1889.

Improvement in Inkholders.
I EDWARD ADOLPHUS VENTRIS of 9 Kings Road Reading in the County of Berkshire
Boot & Shoe Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascortained in
and by the following statement :-
This Invention has for its object Improvement in Inkholders.
According to this my invention I construct of glass, metal, earthenware, or other
suitable material a chamber to contain a quantity of ink, the top part or cover to
the chamber can be also of glass, metal, earthenware or other suitable material and
can be attached to the chamber by a hinge, screw, or otherwise. One or more
openings can be made in the top or cover for the pen to dip into to receive the ink.
In the centre of the cover or a little to the side of the centre a hole with a worm
is made to receive a thumb-screw. Attached to the thumb-screw and beneath the
cover is a washer or plate made of glass or other suitable material. When the
top or cover is fixed in its place the thumb-screw is used to lower or raise the washer
or plate which is then in the chamber and by this means the supply of ink to the
pen is regulated, the washer or plate being sufficiently large to prevent the pen
from going into the ink beyond the said plate or washer. The chamber can be
also divided so that each division can be made to contain various coloured inks, a
separate thumb-screw and washer being used for each.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The particular method for regulating the supply of ink to the pen by lowering or
raising the plate or washer by means of the thumb-screw.
