Complete Specification Left, 13th Dec., 1895-Accepted, 29th Feb., 1896
I, FREDERICK SHARP, of Ivy Villa, Bransford Road, Worcester, in the
County of Worcester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Pens as now ordinarily constructed are so shaped that after a little use they are
apt to become so tightly fixed in the holder that much difficulty is found in
withdrawing them.
Now the object of my invention is a pen provided with such means that its
withdrawal from a holder is considerably facilitated.
For this purpose I provide a lug, pin, or other projection on the back of an
otherwise ordinarily constructed pen, against which sufficient pressure may be
brought to bear to force the pen from its position in a holder.
This lug or projection may form part of, or be an addition to, the pen as
found most suitable and convenient, but by preference I form it by cutting a
U-shaped slot in the pen at a suitable point and turning backwards the tongue of
metal so formed.

Improved ren.
I, FREDERICK SHARP, late of Ivy Villa, Bransford Road, Worcester, in the
County of Worcester, now of 112 Cazenove Road, Stamford Hill, in the County
of Middlesex, 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 :-
Pens as now ordinarily constructed are so shaped that after a little use they are
apt to become so tightly fixed in the holder that much difficulty is found in
withdrawing them.
Now the object of my invention is a pen provided with such means that its
withdrawal from a holder is considerably facilitated.
For this purpose I provide a lug, pin, or other projection on the back of an
otherwise ordinarily constructed pen, against which sufficient pressure may be
brought to bear to force the pen from its position in a holder.
This lug or projection may form part of, or be an addition to, the pen as found
most suitable and convenient, but by preference I form it by cutting a U-shaped
slot in the pen at a suitable point and turning backwards the tongue of metal so
formed.
Such an arrangement is shown in the accompanying drawings, of which Fig. 1 is
a side view, Fig. 2 a top view and Fig. 3 an end view of a pen of ordinarily
construction on an enlarged scale.

page_text: In this pen a U-shaped slot is cut at or near its middle and the lug a so formed
turned up, so that it occupies a position at about right angles to the surface of
the pen.
By pressing against this lug or projection with the nail or other means the pen
may be forced from its holder with comparative ease.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
(1.) A pen provided with a lug, pin, or other projection to facilitate withdrawal
from a holder.
(2.) A pen provided with a lug to facilitate withdrawal from a holder formed by
bending outwards a tongue a cut from the material of the pen substantially as
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
