Improvements in Penholders.
Year: 1898

page_text: We, JOHANNES FISCHBACH, of 24, Blucherstrasse, Secretary, and LUDWIG HEUSS,
of 22, Promenadenstrasse, Inventor, both of àWiesbaden (Alleniagne), Germany,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
The object of the present invention consists in a nenholder characterised by
a certain number of iron wires placed round a small wooden stem, hardened
caoutchouc, or suitable metal forming one piece with the handle of the penholder
or fixed in a hole provided in the said handle. These iron wires may be replaced
by a metal socket or bush so split as to form bands or fillets of small width.
The iron wires or the socket or bush are surrounded by a covering of caoutchouc
or like material forming an elastic envelope. The pen is inserted between the
sets of iron wires and the elastic envelope. Thanks to this arrangement, pens
or nibs, from the smallest to the largest size, can be as easily placed in the pen-
holder, as they can be removed from it, and they are both firmly and elastically
held in place therein.

Improvements in Penholders.
We, JOHANNES FISCHBACH, of 24, Blucherstrasse, Secretary, and LUDWIG HEUSS,
of 22, Promenadenstrasse, Inventor, both of Wiesbaden, in the Empire of Ger-
many, 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 present invention relates to pen holders and is more especially intended
to produce an arrangement which will permit of a steel pen or nib being placed
in position therein and removed therefrom with great facility, whilst at the
same time insuring the steady fixing in place of the pen or nib for use, as will
be described in the course of the present description and specified in the claims.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now pro-
ceed to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to
letters and figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, represents a view of the pen holder in elevation.

page_text: The pen holder consists of a certain number of small metal rods a, placed
round a small stem & formed of, wood, of hardened caoutchouc, or of metal, the
above mentioned rods may, moreover, be replaced by a metal socket or bush so
slit as to present round all its cylindrical surface narrow blades. The stem is
fixed in a hole provided in the handle d of the pen holder. The metal rods, or
the hereinabove mentioned socket or bush, rest upon an annular shoulder formed
by the handle d and the stem b which has been inserted into the said handle.
Lastly a covering of caoutchouc or of any other elastic material, surrounds the
above mentioned metal rods, or the, above mentioned socket or, bush divided into
blades, in such a manner as to form an elastic sheath.
The metal pen or nib which it is desired to employ is introduced at the kmd
of the ren holder, between the central stem 6 and the cylinder formed by the
metal rods, or the socket or bush split into blades by which the former may be
replaced. The insertion of the pen or nib into the pen holder as also its removal
therefrom can be very easily effected by reason of the elasticity of the covering c,
.and this same. elasticity likewise insures the fixidity of the pen or nib during
use. The arrangement of penholder described is capable of receiving, pens or
nibs of all sizes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. In a penholder, the combination of a handle. of a series of metal rods
arranged longitudinally round the end of the handle,..and of an elastic. socket
or bush surrounding the said rods, substantially as described and illustrated.
2. In a pen holder, the combination with the handle of a pen holder, of a small
stem of some hard material fixed in a hole formed axially in the said handle.
of metal rods surrounding this stem and resting against the shoulder formed by
this stem and the above mentioned handle, and of an elastic sheath surrounding
the cylinder formed by the metal rods, substantially as described and illustrated.
