PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Appertaining to Pen-holders.
I, LARS JOHAN SELLERGREN of 58 Strandvagen Wisby Sweden Lieutenant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a writing pen so arranged that a greater quantity of ink
may, at one dip, be introduced into the pen, and so retained therein that it flows out
by degrees at the point of the pen, and does not cause any blots on the paper.
To this end, there is placed within the usual bolder or ferrule another smaller ferrule
or cap, provided with a flexible tongue, the point of which always rests against the
underside of the pen nib. The tongue may be pushed out to the point of the pen nib,
or it may be drawn quite into the holder by means of a pin fastened to the smaller cap,
projecting through a groove in the holder."
It is well known to the inventor that tongues for retaining the ink have been here-
tofore used in round script pens, such tongues being fastened direct to the pen. The
use of these is, however, very inconvenient. By means of the above arrangement
of a movable tongue, mounted on the pen-holder, the pens can easily be taken out and
put in, and, besides, any kind of pen may be used.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Appertaining to Pen-holders.
I, LARS JOHAN SELLERGREN of 58, Strandvagen, Wisby, in the Kingdom of
Sweden, Lieutenant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to a writing pen so arranged that a greater quantity of ink
may, at one dip, be introduced into the pen, and so retained therein that it flows out
by degrees at the point of the pen, and does not cause any blots on the paper.
Reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings and to the figures and
letters of reference marked thereon, in which,
Figure 1 is an elevation of a penholder constructed and arranged according to
my invention.
Figure 2 is a view of the inner ferrule and the tongue, as hereafter described.
Figure 3 is an elevation at right angles to Figure 1.
To this end, there is placed within the usual holder or ferrule d another smaller
ferrule or cap, provided with a flexible tongue a, the point of which always rests
against the underside of the pen nib. The tongue may be pushed out to the point of
the pen nib, or it may be drawn quite into the holder or ferrule d by means of any
suitable device such as a pin 6 fastened to the smaller cap f, projecting through a
groove c, in the said holder or ferrule d.
It is well known to the inventor that tongues for retaining the ink have been
heretofore used in round script pens, such tongues being fastened direct to the pen.
The use of these is, however, very inconvenient. By means of the above arrangement
of a movable tongue, mounted on the pen-holder, the pens can easily be taken out and
put in, and, besides, any ordinary kind of pen may be used.

page_text: 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 :-
1. In a pen-holder the arrangement of a tongue (a) which, by means of a suitable
adjusting device such as a pin (b) movable in a groove (c) in the pen-holder or its
ferrule, may be pushed out towards the point of the pen, or he quite withdrawn into
the said ferrule or holder, whereby a greater quantity of ink may be retained in the
pen, substantially as described and shown.
2. The improved pen-holder in which the nib is adapted to contain a large quantity
of ink, taken as a whole, substantially as described and shown.
