Improvement in Fountain Pen Holders.
I, WILHELM SCHLOMBERG Lock Smith of Kornerstrasse 104 at Ehrenfeld near
Cologne, in the Province of Rhineland and Kingdom of Prussia do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The Fountain Pen Holder in general use up to the present time suffer from
the following disadvantages viz. that they are difficult to fill & an auxiliary
apparatus must be employed, which often gets out of order & proves ineffectual.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section,-Fig. 2 a
transverse section and Fig. 3 & 4 make clear how in its simple construction
& manipulation the new invention compares advantageously with those hitherto
used.
The construction is as follows a is a case containing the moveable piston b,
which is fixed to the hollow piston rod c. The piston rod is closed at its free
end with a screwed on top d and a ring e situated on the case a prevents the
piston coming out of it when drawn upwards. The bottom of the case containing
the pen f projects in a point, which has a narrow opening, out of which the ink
is carried by means of the flat metal spring h under the pen f.
The manner of filling & using the holder is as follows:-
After taking out the pen f & the plata spring h the piston bis pushed quite
into the case a (Fig. 4) and the top firmly screwed on. Then the opening g is
dipped in the ink, which is drawn into it through the drawing out of piston b
from the case a.
Then the opening g is closed by pressing on a cork or piece of india rubber
the top d is loosened till the air hole i becomes free & the piston is again
brougat into its first position (Fig. 4) whereby the ink enters the hollow piston c.
Now the top d is firmly Screwed on and the writing pen & metal spring
again inserted, whereupon the holder is ready for use.
Should the ink after this flow too slowly, a slight loosening of the top dis
necessary in order to supply the pen again with ink.
To render the holder practicable for travelling the pen & bottom part of the
case may be enclosed in an extra case provided for that purpose.
Dated this 11th day of November 1896.
For WILHELM SCHLOMBERG,
Bernhard Brockhues.

I, WILHELM SCHLOMBERG, Workmaster, 104 Kornerstreet, at Ehrenfeld near
Cologne, in the Province of Rhineland and Kingdom of Prussia 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 fountain pen holders in general use up to the present time suffer from
the following disadvantages viz. that they are difficult to fill and an auxiliary
apparatus must be employed, which often gets out of order and proves ineffectual.
In the drawing filed with the Provisional Specification Fig. 1 shows a
longitudinal section, Fig. 2 a transverse section and Figs. 3 and 4 make clear
how in its simple construction and manipulation the new invention compares
advantageously with those hitherto used.
The construction is as follows:
a is a case containing the moveable piston b, which is fixed to the hollow
piston rod c.
The piston rod is closed at its free end with a screwed on top d and a ring e
situated on the case a prevents the piston coming out of it when drawn upwards.
The bottom of the case containing the pen f projects in a point, which has a
narrow opening, out of which the ink is carried by means of the flat metal spring h
under the pen f.
The manner of filling and using the holder is as follows:
After taking out the pen f and the plate spring h the piston b is pushed quite
into the case a (Fig. 4) and the top firmly screwed on.
Then the opening g is dipped in the ink, which is drawn into it through the
drawing out of piston 6 from the case a.
Then the opening 9 is closed by pressing on a cork or piece of india rubber
the top d is loosened till the air hole i becomes free and the piston is again
brought into its first position (Fig. 4) whereby the ink enters the hollow piston c.
Now the top d is firmly screwed on and the writing pen and metal spring
again inserted, whereupon the holder is ready for use.
Should the ink after this flow too slowly, a slight loosening of the top dis
necessary in order to supply the pen again with ink.
To render the holder practicable for travelling the pen and bottom part of the
case may be enclosed in an extra case provided for that purpose.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
Fountain pen holder distinguished by the form of the ink reservoir in the inside
of the pen holder case (a) and with a piston (b) joined to the moveable case (c)
in which the ink running back enters a by the pushing along of the
case (c), in which the entrance of the air is controlled by the circle of air holes
under the capsular shaped top of the holder.
