Quill, Gold, Platinum, Steel, or such like Pens.
BERNARD JOSEPH MALONEY, 61 Princes Street Edinburgh, Watchmaker, 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:-
A split metal tube made of gold silver or other metal is fitted spring tight
on the quill, steel or other penholder, to the tube is fixed a gold silver or other
wire of the required length and thickness and bent or adjusted as shewn at
Figure 2. A small bead or ball of the same or other metal is pierced with a hole
right through, so as to pass easily on to the wire. The wire is then flattened out
or bent at the point so that the ball cannot slip off. A spiral spring, of gold,
silver, or other metal and of the required diameter and thickness is then screwed
on to the wire from the tube end and allowed to press the bead or ball gently
towards the point as shewn at Figure 3, the appliance is then placed on the pen so
that the spring lies in the hollow of the quill or other pen as shewn at Fig. 4.
When the appliance is so adjusted and the pen and spring charged with ink, the
pen may be used for a considerable time without being recharged with ink.
A shield made of rubber, metal or other material may be used to cover the pen if
required, the wire conveying spring to pen may be flattened or bent if required.
Fig. 1. shews the spiral spring.
Fig. 2 shews tube fitted with wire and ball (the bend at Fig. 2 may be altered
and the wire in front of bead or ball made longer according to the nature of the
pen to which it is applied).
Fig. 3 shews spiral spring placed in position.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
