JAMES KENDAL of 106 Cheapside in the City of London Watch and Clock
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
The nature of this invention is to provide a pen with the point of gold and the
remainder of any suitable base metal whereby all the advantages of a gold pen may be
obtained with very much less expense than the ordinary gold pen. The point may be
tongued onto the body of the pen or attached in any other form and may be fixed by
soldering. The gold part should extend from the point to about the shoulders of the
pen in order that the part most exposed to the action of the ink used in writing may
be of gold. But if desired for the sake of cheapness the tips only of the pen may be of
gold. The pens may either be made singly or be stamped out of a ribbon of metal in
the latter case a strip of gold of the proper width is welded to the ribbon of base metal
before stamping.

page_text: 1 JAMES KENDAL of 106 Cheapside in the City of London Watch and Clock
Manufacturer 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 object of my invention is to obtain a pen having all the advantages of a gold
pen but which will at the same time be much less expensive to produce than a pen
made wholly of gold.
To carry this into effect 1 provide a pen with the point of gold and the remainder of
any suitable base metal. The pens may be made either singly by affixing a point of
gold to a body of base metal in manner hereinafter mentioned or for cheapness sake
they may be cut out of a strip or ribbon of metal made up of base metal to which is
welded or otherwise attached a strip of the necessary width of gold and then stamped
out in the way in which ordinary steel pens are made. In the accompanying drawings
figure 1 represents a pen made according to my invention and formed by attaching
gold point to the body of the pen already made of base metal. Figure 2 is a view of
a pen made according to my invention and cut out of a composite strip or ribbon of
gold and base metal. In the two figures of the drawings like parts are indicated by
similar letters of reference.
"A"
represents the body of the pen.
"B" is the point or tip of the pen.
"C"C" represents the line where the two metals are joined.
EL
When the pens are made singly by the gold part being joined to the body of base
metal after the body has been formed by itself the gold point "b. d." is tongued into
the body and the joint made preferably in the shape
" c. d. c. as shewn in figure 1 in
order to give a larger surface for soldering, the gold point being thus tongued into the
body (a) is fixed by soldering and the pen is then finished in the usual way. It is
better that the gold part should extend from the tip (b) to the shoulder of the
pen (C. C.) in order that the part most exposed to the action of the ink may be of
gold. For the sake of cheapness however a small portion only as shewn by the dotted
line (e. e.) may be made of gold the joint being made as before.
A cheaper mode of construction however than the foregoing is represented in
figure 2. A composite strip of base metal (steel or other metal) and gold is first
prepared the required width of gold being welded soldered or otherwise affixed to
a strip of the base metal and the whole of a width and thickness sufficient to cut
out the pens required.
The pens are then made by cutting out stamping splitting burnishing and finishing
in the same way as ordinary steel pens. In this case the joint is of course straight
across the pen and as in the former case a greater or less proportion of gold may
be used in constructing the pen according as it may be desired.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that
what I claim is —
1. A metal pen with a gold point (the body being of base metal) and made by
attaching to the body of a pen already formed a suitable point of gold the said point
being tongued into and attached to the body by soldering or otherwise substantially as
herein shewn and described and for the purpose stated.
2. A metal pen with a gold point (the body being of base metal) and made by first
preparing composite strips or ribbons of a gold and base metal strip welded or soldered
or otherwise attached together out of which composite strip or ribbon of metal the pens
are cut and constructed substantially as herein shown and described and for the
purpose stated.
