COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Pen Holder.
I, ARON GROLLMANN, Jeweller, of 24 Karlsplatz, Munich, in the Kingdom of
Bavaria, German Empire, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in
what manner the same is performed to be particularly described, and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The present invention relates to penholders and consists of a device by means of
which the nib may be easily and conveniently ejected from the holder when worn
out, without the necessity of grasping the same in the fingers.
And in order to make the present invention more easily intelligible reference is
had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters denote similar parts
throughout the several views :-
Fig. 1 being a side elevation of the holder shewing the nib in dotted lines,
Fig. 2 a back elevation of the holder,
Fig. 3 a detail side elevation of the device for ejecting the nib and
Fig. 4 a section on the line x-y in Fig. 2.
The exterior sleeve a is of the ordinary construction and its ends leave a vertical
slot along the entire sleeve at the point where they almost join as seen at Fig. 2.
Within this sleeve a is arranged a sliding clamping piece 6 having a web b¹
arranged centrally and longitudinally thereof, so as to project into the slot of the
outer sleeve a as shown at Figure 4. This web 61 is provided at about its centre
with a horizontal slot d in which a transverse pin c of the outer sleeve a lies.
When the clamping piece b¹ is in position in the sleeve a the edge of the web b¹
extends slightly forward of the outer line of circumference of the sleeve and a
ring is arranged on the latter, which when pushed over the part of the sleeve
in which the clamping piece is retained, contacts with the edge of the latter and
presses it fast against the opposite interior surface of the sleeve, so that a nib
inserted between the said clamping piece and the sleeve will be securely clamped
in position. The top front part of the web b' is provided with a notch f, which
may be grasped by the finger nail and when the ring has been pushed down the
sleeve out of contact with the said web, the clamping piece may be moved on the
pin e by means of this said notch.
In operation if it is desired to eject a worn out pen the ring g is first pushed
down the sleeve until it no longer presses against the edge of the web 6' the top of
the web is then grasped by the finger nail and the clamping piece is drawn out,
the web projecting through the slot of the sleeve, the said clamping piece may
then be tipped forward on its pin c and the nib will fall out. A new pen may now
be placed between the sleeve and clamping piece and the ring pushed up into
position so as to clamp the parts together."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. In a pen holder the combination of a sleeve a having longitudinal slot
throughout its length, a clamping piece b curved to fit in said sleeve, a web b¹ to
said clamping piece to project through and slightly beyond said sleeve slot, a
ring g to slide on said sleeve and contact with said projecting web edge and
means to secure said clamping piece in the upper part of the sleeve substantially
as described.

page_text: 2. The combination of a sleeve a having longitudinal slot, a clamping piece b to
fit against the interior of said sleeve, a web b to said clamping piece to project
through said sleeve slot, a securing and clamping ring 9 on said sleeve as specified
and a slot d in said web, and pin c fast in said sleeve to extend through the said
slot d and means such as a notch f to grip said clamping piece in the manner and
for the purpose substantially as described.
