PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Pen and like Holders.
We, WILLIAM HART of 222 Ashmore Road, Kilburn, Middlesex, Engineer and
WILLIAM HENRY PERCIVAL of 26 Maida Hill West, Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct pen holders and the like that any size
pen can be used in such holder and be firmly held in position.
For the purpose of this invention, we attach to or form on one end of a bar or
strip of metal, a cam or like projection and to the other end a projecting knob or the
like. This bar is slid along the usual slit of the barrel portion of the pen or like
holder with the cam or like projection inside the barrel and when the bar or strip of
metal is placed at about right angles to the barrel, a pen or the like can be placed in
position in the barrel and on the bar or strip of metal being pressed down the cam or
projecting end acts on the pen and holds it firmly in position, the bar or strip lying
within the barrel and only the knob or the like projecting outside.
When the pen is
required to be removed from the barrel, the bar is lifted and the pen is free to he
taken out.
The part of the pen holder which is inserted into the barrel may be so
shaped as to keep the bar and projecting cam piece in place and yet have free
movement.
The forward end of the barrel has a ring around it to prevent the bar leaving it and
to give strength at that part.
We have described the invention as applied to pen holders but it may be used for
holding other articles or things.

An Improvement connected with Pen and like Holders.
We WILLIAM HART, of 222 Ashmore Road, Kilburn, Middlesex, Engineer, and
WILLIAM HENRY PERCIVAL of 26 Maida Hill West, Middlesex, Engineer 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 object of this invention is to construct pen holders and the like that
nib can be used in such holder and be firmly held in position.
any size pen
For the purpose of this invention we attach to or form on one end of a bar or strip
of metal a cam or like projection and to the other end a projecting knob or the like.
This bar can be pivotted or be free to slide along the usual slit of the barrel portion of
the pen or like holder, with the cam or like projection inside the barrel, and when the
bar or strip is placed at about right angles to the barrel, a pen nib or the like can be
placed in position in the barrel, and on the bar or strip of metal being then pressed
down the cam or projecting end acts on the pen to hold it firmly in position; the bar
or strip lying within the barrel and only the knob or the like projecting outside. When
the pen is required to be removed from the barrel the bar is lifted and the pen is free
to drop or to be taken out.

page_text: The part of the pen holder which is inserted into the barrel may be so shaped
as to keep the bar and projecting cam piece in place and yet let it have free
movement.
The forward end of the barrel is shaped to prevent the bar leaving it and to give
strength at that part.
We have described the invention as applied to pen holders but it may be used for
holding other articles or things.
The invention is shown on the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is a detached view of the lever A with the pen-nib-fixing or binding
bulb B at one end, and a knob C at the other by which the lever is manipulated.
Figures 2 and 3 show a pen barrel D, with a nib E in position, and pressed upon
by the bulb B.
Figure 4 represents the lever A thrown up ready for the insertion of a pen nib.
Figure 5 illustrates the pen holder in a hand and with the knob C in the position it
occupies while the pen is in use.
We have not shewn the lever A pivotted to the holder barrel D but it may be, just
near the bulb.
It will be understood that the bulb B is shaped to nearly fit the inner circumference
of the barrel D) to obtain a fair grip upon the nib E, but the grip may be at certain
places only, this being dependent on the shape of the bulb whether plain or provided
with serrations between the gripping points.
Other articles can have handles attached or be affixed to handles in a temporary
manner, such as tools and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. The bulbed appliance shewn at Figure 1 of the annexed drawing as an attachment
to a pen holder for fixing a pen nib in a barrel as described.
2. The hereinbefore described improvement in pen and like holders as shown in the
annexed drawings.
