page_text: I, HEINRICH BRAMS, of Mengede near Dortmund, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, Inn Keeper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of this invention relates to an ink tube for writing pens, in which the
pen is continually supplied with ink through a point bent forward and provided
with an outlet opening.
The device consists of a rubber tube closed at one end by a stopper and
terminating at the other end into a point with opening bent upward in such a
manner, that it is compelled to join the inner side of the pen.

Improvements in or connected with Writing Pens.
I, HEINRICH BRAMS, of Mengede, near Dortmund, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, Inn Keeper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manuer the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a fountain penholder which can be used uninterruptedly
for writing without the continuous necessity of dipping into the ink; the arrange-
ment being such that the ink is conveyed to the pen by means of a peculiarly fitted
rubber tube which is provided with a suitable aperture.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the subject of this invention in longitudinal
section.
A flexible
A pen nib b is inserted in the usual manner into the penholder a.
tube c of rubber or the like material is formed with an upwardly bent extremity
and with an aperture d upon which the underface of the nib b bears, and is
provided upon one side with a small plate or rod e. The nib b bears against the
point of the flexible tube c so that when the holder is in use, the ink is supplied
automatically to the pen. The rubber tube c is filled with ink or writing fluid by
pressing with the extremity h of the case g or with any suitable blunt instrument
through the aperture upon the small rod or plate e so as to compress the rubber
tube c and then dipping the nib b and the aperture d into ink, and drawing out the
extremity whereby the vacuum space that tends to be produced becomes filled
with ink, and the pen is always ready for continuous writing. The ink flows to the
pen without any action on the part of the writer in such a quantity as is required
for writing. When the holder is not in use, the ink does not leak and therefore all
blotting or smearing is prevented.

page_text: The case serves to enable the holder to be conveniently filled, and also to
prevent the ink from drying up in the holder when not in use, while also acting as
a guard enabling the holder to be carried in the pocket.
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-
A writing penholder consisting of a rubber tube c closed at its rear end, and
having an upwardly bent extremity provided with an aperture d said extremity
closely bearing upon the underside of the nib b and serving to continually supply
the writing fluid to said nib while in use.
2. A writing penholder substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and illustrated.
