Complete Accepted, 26th July, 1887,
I CHARLES HORATIO JOB of 149 Queen Victoria Street London in the County of
Middlesex, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is the construction of an improved ink-stand into which
the pen of the writer may be dipped without risk of dipping into the dregs or settle-
ment as heretofore.
In performing my invention I construct the ink-stand in two parts-the outer
part being of any convenient form or design and the inner part consisting of a vessel
(by preference cylindrical in form) with a flange at the top fitting into and resting
upon a corresponding recess formed at the top or mouth of the outer vessel.
The bottom of this outer vessel is "coned" upwards towards the centre so as to
permit any dregs or solid matter to settle down to the lowest part of the "coned"
bottom where slits or narrow openings are formed to open a communication with the
outer vessel and which thus constitutes a false bottom to the ink-stand.
In practise it is found that this improved construction of ink-stand permits the
dregs to settle into the outer vessel whilst the ink rises and is kept pure in the inner
vessel.

page_text: I CHARLES HORATIO JOB of 149 Queen Victoria Street, London in the County of
Middlesex, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my 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 this invention is the construction of an improved ink stand into which
the pen of the writer may be dipped without risk of dipping into the dregs or settle-
ment as heretofore.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1. is a front exterior view, Fig. 2. a transverse
sectional view and Fig. 3. a plan of my improved Ink stand and Fig. 4. is an inverted
plan view of the inner vessel of the same.
In performing my invention I construct the ink stand in two parts-the outer part a.
being constructed of glass or other suitable material and of any convenient form or
design and the inner part consisting of a vessel b. (by preference of glass and
cylindrical in form) with a flange 6' at the top fitting into and resting upon a corre-
sponding recess formed at the top or mouth of the outer vessel a. The bottom b² of
this inner vessel b. is "coned" upwards towards the centre as seen more clearly in
Fig. 2. so as to permit any dregs or solid matter d. to settle down to the lowest part
of the "coned' bottom where slits or narrow openings c. are formed to open a
communication with the outer vessel a. and which thus constitutes a false bottom or
drain to the inkstand.
In practise it is found that this improved construction of ink stand permits the
dregs d. to settle through the slits c. into the outer vessel a. whilst the ink rises and is
kept pure in the inner vessel b.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The improved arrangement and construction of inkstand substantially as and
for the purposes herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
2nd. In the construction of inkstands the employment of an inner vessel with a
"coned" bottom provided with narrow slits or openings therethrough substantially as
and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying
drawing.
