PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Penholder or Writing Implement for Fancy Writing.
I, KARL KOHLING, of Dahlhausen, in the Province of Westphalia, in the Empire
of Germany, Government Official, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved pen holder, which by means of turning,
removing, or exchanging different pens of any form, allows of writing placards,
labels and the like in different ways.
This pen holder is to be used in the same manner, as the known pens for fancy
writing.
It consists of a holder or handle of wood or the like in the end of which the
middle pen is fixed by means of a set screw.
Through this middle main pen passes a cross rod which can be fixed by means
of a set screw and can carry on its free ends projecting on both sides any other
pens fixed in the same manner.
These pens may be made of hard rubber or similar material and in any fashion;
when the lateral pens are fixed in various convenient ways one can write in any
desired form in parallel lines or otherwise in the same or different colours.

I, KARL KOHLING of Dahlhausen, Germany, Inventor, 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:-
The invention represented in the annexed drawing concerns a pen holder for
tracing placards, upon which are placed side by side 1, 2, 3 or 4 pens of any form,
in hardened rubber.
With the aid of the different central or principal pens and of the different
accessory pens an indefinite number of single, double, triple or quadruple lines
may be drawn. The number of lines that can be traced can not be indicated for by
changing and substituting the accessory pens, we can trace different lines, ad
infinitum. If we moisten each of the pens with a different ink or colour, we can
trace, at one stroke, double triple or quadruple lines of different colours; the space

page_text: between the lines may also be filled ad libitum, with points other lines or any other
decoration.
This penholder therefore permits of tracing in various models, types for p'acards,
signs, business announcements, labels, superscriptions and the like and it is used
in the same way as the round-hand pen.
In the annexed drawing a form of execution of. this penholder is represented.
Fig. 1 shows the elevation.
Fig. 2 is a profile section of the elevation
Fig. 3 a section of Fig. 1.
It is composed of a holder a in light wood, reed and the like, into which is intro-
duced the central or principal pen 6 fixed with a screw c. Through this principal
or central pen passes a cross-piece d which can be fixed by means of the screw e
and bearing at its two free and projecting ends two accessory pens whatever, f
fixed in the same way.
These pens may be in hardened rubber or any similar substances and of any form
whatever.
. If the accessory pens are fixed in any approriate way whatever, we can, by
eventually placing pens of different shapes, execute writing and the like of all kinds
and of different colours..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
A penholder for fancy writing composed of several replacable pens of any shape
in hardened rubber or the like fixed to an assemblage holder as described.
