PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pen-holders.
I, CHARLES HUELSER of the firm of Huelser & Co. of 142 Fleet Street in the City
of London, Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a com-
munication to me from abroad by Stefan August Scholz of Tschirnau (Silesia) in the
Empire of Germany, Mayor, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in pen holders and has for its purpose to
facilitate the removal of the pen from the holder, thereby obviating the incon-
veniences and dangers attendant on the extraction of pens from the holders hitherto
employed.
The improved pen holder essentially consists of a cylindric body or core contained
in a tube extending from its rear extremity to an arched cavity or saddle provided on
its fore end for receiving the pen. From said saddle projects a pin rounded at the top
and held up by the action of a suitable spring lodged in a corresponding cavity diametri-
cally provided in the core of the holder.
The front part of the core is enclosed in a small tube telescopically movable within
the main tube and held in position by aid of a spiral spring surrounding a thinner
portion of the core.
By shifting the small tube into the main tube, the pen saddle is laid open and, after
placing the pen in its position and depressing therwith the projecting pin referred
to, the small tube is allowed to be propelled by the spiral spring and to cover the
inner portion of the pen, which, with the assistance of the upward tendency of the
depressed pin, is thus secured in the holder. Or the pen may be introduced
in the usual manner thereby depressing the pin sufficiently to hold the pen in
position.
To remove the pen from the holder the small tube is merely shifted back thus
causing the pen to be expelled by the action of the elastic pin.

all
The object of this invention is an iinproved pen holder having the advantage over
pen holders hitherto known, that the pen can at any time be easily removed from
the holder without any inconvenience or danger of blood poisoning consequent on
the extraction of used pens from the holders.
Referring to the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a front view.
Figs. 2 and 3 are longitudinal sections.
Fig. 4 is a side view of the improved pen holder.
The cylindric core or shank A of the holder is provided in front with a recess and an
open cavity or pen saddle a from which the rounded head of a pin a¹ placed cross-
wise into the recess of the shank and held up by the spring a' contained in the said

page_text: recess. A narrowed portion of the core A is surrounded by a helical spring 6 the
fore end of which presses against the tube B and advances the saine so far as to cause
its front extremity to come up with that of the core A. The tube C secured in the
rear end of the latter covers the spring band extends in front to the termination of the
pen saddle a.
To place the pen into the holder either the tube B is first shifted back,
the pin a pressed down with the pen and the tube B allowed to be propelled over the
pen by the action of spring b, or the pen is introduced in the usual manner while the
tube B is in front, the pen thus depressing with its rear end the pin a' which then
serves to clamp fast the pen which is thus held in a somewhat yielding position.
To remove a used pen from the improved bolder the tube B is merely shifted back
which can be done in a commodious and secure manner and thereby the pen is laid
open and thrown out of its saddle a by the elastic pin a¹.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A pen holder consisting of a shank or core A having a narrowed portion and a
pen saddle a¹ and provided with a recess containing a spring which is adapted to
cause a rounded pin a¹ to project from said saddle, a helical spring a movable
tube B adapted to be pushed by said spring over the pen or pen saddle, and
a main tube C, the whole combined substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
