PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ink Pots or Vessels.
I, HORACE EDGAR YORKE BREFFIT, of River House, Castleford, in the
County of York, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of my invention is to regulate the dipping space or depth in ink pots
or vessels, so as to prevent taking too much or too little ink into the pen, also to
keep such ink clear of dirt etc.; and to prevent waste in cleaning and refilling.
Within an ordinary ink pot or vessel I employ an inner ink well with supply
inlets communicating with the outer or larger vessel. The said ink well is attached
to or slides within a recess in a plate resting preferably upon the top of the ink pot,
or in any other position, so keeping the dust from the ink. The well being attached
thereto by spring, clip, screw, or by any other suitable means, so as to be moved
freely up or down to regulate the depth.
The size and shape of the ink pot and well may be varied in any manner.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. is a sectional elevation of ink pot or vessel in accordance with my
improvements.
Fig. 2. is a modification of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, 4. and 5 are further modifications.
Within an ordinary ink pot or vessel A I employ an inner ink well B with supply
inlet C and air vent C¹ communicating with the outer or larger vessel A, the said
ink well B is attached to or slides within a plate or its equivalent (as hereinafter
shown and described) resting upon the top of or inserted into the mouth of the ink
pot, so keeping the dust from the ink, and allowing the inner ink well B to be
moved freely up or down to regulate the depth.
In Figure 1 the inner ink well B is held in position by a cork washer D fitting
into the neck of the ink well A.
In Figure 2 the inner ink well B is held in position by a rubber washer D
fitting into a recess or groove E in the neck of the ink well A.
In Figure 3 the inner ink well B screws into the top of the ink well A.
In Figure 4 the inner ink well B fits loosely into a bush F screwing into the top
of the ink well A, a corresponding thread being formed in the metal cap G.

page_text: In Figure 5 the inner ink well B is held in position by means of a thumb screw H
which is held in position by the lip J upon the collar L.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1. Ink pots, such as A, having smaller and inner ink wells B with supply inlet C
and air vent C¹ communicating with the larger vessels A, and which smaller and
inner ink wells B are capable of being moved as and for the purposes shown and
described.
2. The combination of an outer vessel A and an inner vessel B having supply
inlet C and air vent C' (either movable or not) for the purposes such as shown and
described.
