Improvements in Holders for Pens, Pencils, and other similar
Instruments for Writing, Drawing, or Painting.
1, WILLIAM MOXEY SLOMAN, of 9, Great Marylebone Street, Portland Place, W.
in the Parish of St. Marylebone, Locksmith, Metal Worker, &c., do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The holder is made in one piece or with an adjustable joint to hold in an inclined
position, and with an expanding clip to hold the pen or other instrument required, and
kept regulated by a spring and screw, or by other similar fastening, by which it can
be replaced or instantly freed, without loss of time or inconvenience. It has also the
advantage of holding more Ink in the Pen, without danger of blotting, spurting, or
scratching, the adjusting screw head forming a finger rest. It can also be used on the
fore or index finger, whereby the hand is not cramped and writing or other work, is
done with greater ease, freedom, and rapidity, than by any other means.

I WILLIAM MOXEY SLOMAN of 9 Great Marylebone Street, Portland Place W., in
the parish of Saint Marylebone, Locksmith, do hereby declare the nature of my
Invention and in what imanner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention refers to firstly, connecting the part of a pen-holder that carries the
pen to the part of the holder clasped by the fingers by a pivotted joint to enable the
pen to be used at a different incline to what the holder is held at, and secondly; to an
improved way of using the pen to dispense with the usual holder and avoid cramp to
the fingers.
To enable my invention to be properly understood I will proceed to describe the
same with aid of the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 represents my invention in action according the first part.
Figure 2 separate view of same.
Figure 3 side view in action according to the second part of my invention.
Figure 4 detached view of same partly in section.
According to the first part: the part A which carries the pen E is jointed at B, to
enable the part A to be set at any angle different to what the holder is held in, and
retained by tightening up the pivot screw 1) the latter is provided with a milled head
to enable it to be turned. The top of joint B is arranged with a stem that fits into a
socket in the wooden or other holder C.
According to the second part the stem of B is made to fit into a socket attached to
a ring Cintended to fit on the forefinger the thumb coming against the head of
screw D. It will be readily understood that the part A used as described can be
arranged to hold pencils or paint brushes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Invention, and a
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is.
1. A holder, for the purposes, to enable a pen or other instrument to be set and
held at an angle different to what the holding part of a holder is held at as
described.
2. Attaching the joint B to a ring to fit on the finger, as and for the purposes
stated.
