COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Inkstand.
I, JAMES WILSON of 242 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, in the County of Lanark,
North Britain, Master Butcher 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 :-
My Invention relates to an improved ink-stand, and consists in having a small well
at the base of the stand connected with the bottle or reservoir, so that there will be a
continual supply of ink in the well, the opening and depth of which is just sufficiently
large to admit of the point of a pen taking up the necessary quantity of ink, thus
avoiding waste, as well as preventing any foreign matter getting into the bottle and
mixing with the ink.
In order that my Invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect, I will now proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
Figure 1, is a section of my improved ink-bottle and stand.
Figure 2, is a plan of the bottom part of the stand, while
Figure 3, is a view of the underside of the upper part of the bottle or reservoir.
The ink is poured into the reservoir a, and the stand or bottom part is then placed
over the upper part; the recesses b, b, fit over d. The upper part is then turned
round until the flanges e, e, come under the flange f, f, thus securing the two parts
together. The reservoir a, being now connected with the well g, by the hole, there
is a continual supply of ink into the well g.
In place however of having my improved ink-stand in two pieces, it may be made
in one, as shewn in Figures 4, and 5; Figure 4, being a section, and Figure 5,
a plan.
The top part is the reservoir i, for holding the ink, while the bottom pari k, is the
stand, which is made narrower than the under-part of the reservoir i, so that it might
fit into, or rest in, the holes which are usually made in school, or other desks, for
holding ink-bottles, thus saving any possibility of the stand being knocked over and
the ink spilled. A hole j, is placed on one side of the upper surface of the flanged-
shaped portion of the reservoir opening into the well k, for allowing the ink to be
poured into it. This hole j, is also used for taking the required dip, and is made of
sufficient size to admit of the point of the pen.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be carried into effect, I declare that what
I claim is --
1. The ink-bottle and stand in two parts, as shewn in Figures 1, 2, and 3, of the
annexed drawings.

page_text: 2. The inkbottle and stand in one piece, as shewn in Figures 4, and 5, of the
annexed drawings.
