Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of the improvement is to enable a pen to be produced that will prevent
scratchiness in use and promote rapidity of writing with excellence in spring in the
pen, and long wearing quality.
In form or construction the pen from the holder stump or barrel end may be of any
ordinary form and down to and including the pierce hole may be much as ordinary.
From or about the locality of the pierce hole of the nib portion I form my improved
pen curved or depressed longitudinally to the point downwards or inwards, speaking
as if the pen were in use, as well as in transverse direction combined with rounding of
the metal at the extreme points.
The square edges left by the cutting out tools may most conveniently be removed
at the points of the pens by friction or rubbing in effecting, or after the manner of,
what is in pen manufacture called the scouring process.
The improved pen I prefer to make of usual pen sheet metal of good quality and
thereby attain a cheap, excellent and lasting pen.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the pen.
Figure 2 is a side view of same.

In form or construction the pen A from the holder-end a, or stump or barrel end
as the case may be, may be of any ordinary form and down to and including the

well as in transverse direction combined with rounding of the metal at or towards the
extreme points as shewn by enlarged views Figures 5 and 6.
The square edges left by the cutting out tools may most conveniently be removed

The improved pen I prefer to make of usual pen sheet metal of good quality and
thereby I attain a cheap, excellent and lasting pen.
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 :
The manufacture and use of pen for writing with the nib end curved both
longitudinally and cross wise as set forth.
