"WRITING PEN.

Application. filed Gctooer 21, 192-5. Serial No. 63,960.

This invention relates to a pen and one object of the invention is to produce a pen point so constructed that it will not be damaged by rough usage or quickly wear out.

.nother object oi the invention is to construct the pen point that a supply of ink may be placed in the pen holder and this ink fed through the body of the pen point to the writing end thereof.

The figure represents a longitudinal sectional view through the device.

The pen, which is indicated in general by the numeral 9, is provided with a shank portion of an even diameter throughout its length and a tapered forward end portion 11 provided with grooves 12 which corre spond to the grooves 8. The shank 10 is provided with an axially disposedpocket 13 which opens through the rear end of the pen and at its forward end communicates with a reduced passage 1% which extends forwardly into the tapered forward end portion oi. the pen and is provided with side branches 15 which open into the grooves 12 near their upper ends. The stall 16 is provided with a longitudinally extending socket 17 constitut ing an ink reservoir and having its outer end portion 18 reduced so that the shank of the pen point 9 may tit snugly in the outer end portion of this socket with its rear end abutting against the shoulder 19. A sleeve 20 may be provided upon the forward end portion of the 16 or may be omitted it so desired. By having the staii 16 formed with a. longitudinally extending socket 17 and the pen provided with a pocket 13 and passage 14L ink may be poured into the socket or reservoir 17 and when the pen is inserted the ink will flow through the shank and through the passage 14 and side branches 15 into the grooves 12. It will, therefore, be seen thatiiis conetruction provides a. pen and holder in which a large supply of ink may be can not. in the stall and ted to the pen point after the manner in which ink of a fountain pen is led to the pen. By having the passage 1d: and side branches 15 of a reduced diameter. the flow of ink through the pa will be controlled by a vacuum seal which will be formed at the lower or forward end of the passage 14- and, therefore, there will be no danger of too great a quantity of ink passing into the grooves 12. If desired, the rear end portion of the pen may be threaded, as shown at 21, so that it may engage with threads formed in the inner end portion of the socket and be securely held in place.

Having thus claim:

A pen holder having a pocket opening through its forward end, and a pen point having a shank provided with a pocket opening through its upper end and alined with the pocket of the holder to provide a relatively large ink reservoir, the pen point havdescribed the invention, 1

ing a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves increasing in depth from the shank to the point terminal, said point having a central passage leading from the reservoir to a point remote from the point terminal, said point having a plurality of radially disposed downwardly inclined branch pas sages, having their inletends opening into said passage and their outlets opening into the bases of the grooves at points of their greatest depth.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
