Improvements in Pen-holders.
I, THOMAS RICHARD MYLES BYRNE, Cashier, Brook Cottage, Tattenhall,
near Chester do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in pen-holders and consists in so con-
structing such pen-holders that the pens or nibs of same can be readily inserted,
or removed therefrom without such pens or nibs coming into contact with the
user's fingers.
In carrying out my invention, I fashion the holder partly of tubular form so as
to readily fit upon the handle, the forward portion of such pen-holder consisting
of a single base strip or extension in the same plane as the tubular portion,
which forward base strip is preferably given a convex form to conform to the
shape of a pen or nib.
The barrel of the holder is cut away at the top, at the rear of the forward base
strip, to allow of a clip being hinged or pivoted thereto.
This said clip consists of metal or other strip having two downwardly side
pieces which fit over upon the sides of the pen-holder over the cut-away part and
by means of which the said clip is hinged or pivoted thereto.
The forward portion of the clip is fashioned so as to conform to the shape of a
pen or nib, which would be interposed between the base strip of the holder, and
the said forward portion of the clip. The rear portion of the said clip is bent or
given an upward form to constitute a finger-piece to be depressed when it is
necessary to raise the forward or clipping end of each clip. A suitable spring is
provided for the purpose of normally keeping the forward or clipping portion of
the clip in a depressed position so that same is held firmly against the base strip
of the holder, in order that a pen or nib interposed between the latter and the
said clip, may be securely held in position.
Dated this 5th day of November 1894.

near Chester, 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 improvements in pen-holders and consists in so con-
structing such pen-holders that the pens or nibs can be readily inserted or
withdrawn without coming in contact with the user's fingers.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation,
Fig. 2 a plan, and

page_text: In carrying ont my invention 1 fashion the holder partly of tubular form A so
as to readily fit upon the handle B, the forward portion of such pen-holder
consisting of a strip or extension C, between which and the spring clip E the
nib D is inserted.
The clip E is pivotted at F and held firmly against the nib D by means of the
spring G.
When the nib D is to be inserted or withdrawn, the end E' of spring clip E
is pressed with the finger or thumb and brought to the position shewn in Fig. 3.
The nib D being inserted the spring clip E returns to its normal position as in
Fig. 1.
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:
