Description
M. B. WRIGHT FOUNTAIN MARKING DEVICE Filed Dec. 10, 1923 INVENTOR WITNESSE3 ATTORNEY Patented Jan. 13, 1925.
PATENT MILTO'N B. WRIGHT, OF SUMMIT, NEW JERSEY.
FOUNTAIN MARKING DEVICE.
Application filed December 10, 1923. Serial no. 679,833.
To all whom 2'2- m-rrgfmncern:
Be it known that I, MILTON B. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Summit, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fountain Marking Devices. of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to fountain marking devices. v
The principal object of the invention is the provision of a fountain marking device for use in writing upon boxes, crates or the like and which is so constructed that the user may manipulate the same in a manner similar to that of an ordinary writing instrumentality.
Another object of the invent-ion is to provide a fountain marking device wherein the flow of ink from the reservoir is controlled by the pressure applied to the writing point of the device.
A' further object of the invention 1s to provide a fountain marker wherein the parts may be easily removed for cleaning purposes. 1
A still further object of the invention -1s to construct a fountain marker which is simple in construction, cheap of manufacture and highly efiicient for the purpose intended.
With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in certain novel construction and combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described, are particularly pointed out in the appended claims, and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which 1 Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section View through my invention.
Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a collective view embodying several of the parts of my invention.
Figure 4 is a view of my invention, showing the same partly in elevation and partly in vertical section.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the reference numeral 10 designates my invention in its entirety which includes connectible parts 11, 12 and 13. The part 11 is in the nature of a hollow tube 14 which serves as a reservoir and has its outer end closed by means of a removable cap 15- which permits access to the reservoir when it is desired to fill the same with a writing fluid. The other end of the tube 14 is externally screw threaded as at 16 for coacting engagement with the threads 17 formed in the walls of an annular recess in the part 12. The part 12 serves as a connecting part between the part 11 and the part-13 and is provided with a central bore 18, the, top walls of which are beveled to provide a valve seat 19. The part 12 is reduced toward the bottom and is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed slots 20. A stem 21 extends through the bore 18 and has a valve head 22 removably supported from the upper end thereof. The valve. head 22 co-acts with the seat- 19 for a purpose to be presently described. The stem 21 is formed with opposed flat surfaces 23 which extend for a portion of its length, and projecting therefrom in opposite directions are pins 24 for reception in the slots 20 of the part 12. The other or lower end of the stem 21 is threaded as at- 26 for co-action with a threaded aperture 26 formed in a metal clip 27 which is in turn connected with a stick of felt 28 by means of fingers 27. The felt stick 28 has its free end pointed as at 29, which point serves as a writing point. A spring 30 is W interposed between the clip 27 and a shoulder formed on the part 12 so as to normally hold the valve head in engage ment with the seat to prevent the flow of ink from the reservoir to the stick of felt 28. A sleeve 31 is sweated or otherwise secured to the part 12 and acts as a guard for preventing the flow of ink from contact with the fingers of the user, and a cap 32 is provided for telescopic engage- 9 ment with the sleeve 31 when the marker is not in use so as to protect the felt stick 28.
In operation, the cap 32 is removed and the marker grasped in the manner of that used in grasping a pen or pencil. The pres- 1 -1 sure is then applied to the point 29 which causes an upward movement of the part 13 against the tension of the spring 30 and'likewise unseats the valve head 22 topermit ink to flow downward by means of gravity through the bore 18, it. being understood that the bore is slightly larger in diameter than the stem 21. After passing through the bore, the ink' then passes downward upon the felt stick 28 where it is absorbed down to the point 29. When the ink has reached the point 29, it is of course understood that the part 13.
From the construction and arrangement of the arts, the simplicity of the devicewill be rea ily understood, as the same may disassembled for .cleaning purposes. In disassembling the arts, the tube 11 is first unscrewed from t e part 12, after which the device is not in use.
valve .head 22 is removed from the end of the stem 21. The stem is then withdrawn from the bore and carries the spring 30 therewith as one convolution of the spring is arranged between the pins 24:". This will prevent the spring from suddenly flying off when disassembling these parts. If desired, the felt stick may also be removed from the stem by unscrewing the same therefrom.
In Figures 1 and 4, there is shown a guard 33 which is carried by the tube 14 and extends downward as far as the termination of the sleeve 31. The guard is spaced from the sleeve 31 to receive the cap 32 when the It will be seen that any ink which may accidentally accumulate on the interior of the cap will not be brought intocontact with any exterior surface which is indended to be grasped by the fingers of the user.
\Vhile I have described what I deem to be the most desirable embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that many of the details may be varied without in any Way de parting from the spirit-of my invention, and
-- I therefore do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth nor to anythin less than the whole of my invention limited only by the appended claims.
What is claimed as new is:- 1. A fountain marker comprising a tubular member having one of its ends threaded,
a part provided'with threads for oo-action with the threads on said tubular member, a. bore. formed in said part, a valve seat arran ed at the top of said bore, a stem exten in through said bore, a. valve head at one end of said stem for co-action with said valve seat, a writing element removably supported from the other end by said stem, aspring positioned between said part and said writing element for normally holding said valve head in engagement with said seat and whereby pressure on. said writing element will cause the unseating of said valve head for permitting the flow of liquid from said reservoir to said writing element.
2. A fountain marker comprising a. tubular member having one of its ends threaded, a part provided with threads for co-action with the threads on said tubular member, a bore formed in said part, avalve seat arranged at the top of said bore, a stem ex- 6 tending through said bore, a valve head at one end of said stem for co-action with said valve seat, means .for, preventing rotation' of said stem, said means comprising pins carried by said stem and extending into a slot in said part, a writing element removably supported from the other end by said stem, means for normally holdin said valve head in engagement with sai seat and whereby pressure on said writing element 7 will cause the unseating of said valve head' for permitting the flow of liquid from said reservoir to said writing element.
3. A fountain marker comprising a tubu lar member having one of it's ends threaded,
a. part provided with threads for co-action with the threads on said tubular member, abore formed .in said part, a valve seat arranged at the top of said bore, a stem extending through said bore, a valve head re- 95 movable at one end of said stem for coaction with said valve seat, means for preventing rotation ofsaid stem, a writing element removably supported from the other end by said stem, means for normally holding said valve head inengagement with. said seat and whereby pressure on said writing element will cause the unseating of said valve head for permitting the flow of liquid from said reservoir to said writing element,
asleeve carried by said part an depending midway between the len h of said writing element, and a cap. slida 1e over said sleeve.
4..A fountain marker including a reservoir, a writing element, means for automatically permitting the flow of contents from said reservoir to said writing element, a sleeve for confining the flow to said -writing element, a guard spaced from said sleeve and encircling the same, and a cap for insertion inthe space between said sleeve and said part.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
I MILTON B. WRIGHT.
