PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Writing Pen Extractors.
WILLIAM FORD STANLEY "Cumberlow" South Norwood Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention has for its object the extraction of a metal writing pen from its
bolder to enable a new pen to replace it. The means employed is by the use of a pair
of jaws, which may be toothed, or plain, being brought down upon the pen, or the
the upper part thereof so as to hold it tightly, and of a convenient handle to draw
the pen out. By preference one of the jaws will be made hollow, and the other
round so that the pen approximately fits the jaws although this is not absolutely
necessary as a flat jaw, and a narrow jaw answer answer the same purpose very well.
The jaws are brought together either by a crossing joint as with scissors, or pliers,
or they may be brought together by means of a wedge, or a screw, or an excentric
cam. The important point being that the nibs are held firmly for the extraction of
the pen. The jaws are preferably made hollow, or recessed near the joint so as to
ensure the points coming into contact with the pen near the holder, and also to clear
any projecting parts that may be at the point of a pen such as globular pointed,
reservoir, or fancy shaped pens.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Writing Pen Extractors..
WILLIAM FORD STANLEY Cumberlow South Norward Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention has for its object the extraction of a metal writing pen from its
holder to enable a new pen to replace it. The means employed is by the use of a pair
of jaws (which may be toothed, or plain) being brought down upon the pen, or the
upper part thereof so as to hold it tightly, and of a convenient handle to draw the
pen out. By preference one of the jaws will be made hollow, and the other round
so that the pen approximately fits the jaws although this is not absolutely necessary
as a flat jaw, and a narrow jaw answer the same purpose very well. The jaws are
brought together either by a crossing joint as with scissors or pliers, or thay may be
brought together by means of a wedge, or a screw, or an excentric cam, the
important point being that the nibs are held firmly for the extraction of the pen.
The jaws are preferably made hollow, or recessed near the joint so as to ensure
the points coming into contact with the pen near the holder, and also to clear any
projecting parts that may be at the point of a pen such as globular, pointed
reservoir, or fancy shaped pens.
I illustrate some of the principal forms of my Pen Extractor, but do not confine
my invention to these only as any modification may be made such as folding handles
as pocket scissors, or other suitable arrangement to make it more portable, or it may
be made of ornamental design, always preserving the essential features of the
invention which is an instrument to readily grip a pen, and means of holding the
instrument for the extraction of the pen.
Fig. 1. shows a simple form of Pen Extractor having scissor joint, and handles,
and a curved upper jaw, and narrow straight lower jaw both recessed. near the joint
so as not to interfere with any fancy pointed pen, and also to be clear of any ink
