. Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 2, 1921.

Application filed October 9, 1920. Serial No. 415,742.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROLAND HARDING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Groton, in the county of Tompkins and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Inkwell, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the class of stationery, and more particularly to ink bottle supports, it being an object of the invention to provide a support which will maintain the bottle in an upright position, and one which will eliminate any possibility of the bottle tilting over to spill the contents thereof.

A further object of the invention is to provide a support of this character which will normally hold the bottle in a true horizontal position regardless of the inclination of the surface on which the same is supported.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a novel means to permit the bottle to be tilted at the will of the user, to cause the contents of the bottle to be thrown onto the usual cork extension to be applied to a pen.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing 2- Figure 1 illustrates a side elevational view of an ink bottle support showing a bottle as applied thereto.

Fig. 2 illustrates a plan view of the suport.

p Fig. 3 illustrates a front elevational view of the same.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the stand or support is formed preferably of a sheet of metal bent intermediate its ends to provide the base 5 and upper section 6, the base 5 being provided with suitable extensions 7 providing feet for the stand to support the base in spaced relation with the surface on which the same is positioned.

The upper section has a pair of angular portions 8 stamped therefrom, which angular portions are bent upwardly as indicated by 1 and 3 of the drawing, there being provlded vertical extensions 9 forming a part of each of the angular portionsJfor purposes to be hereinafter more fully described.

The bottle embracing support includes a circular member 10 which may also be stamped from a sheet of metal, which circular member 10 is provided with integral depending arms 11 disposed diametrically opposite each other, the arms having the extreme lower ends thereof bent at right angles to the body portions thereof, to provlde rests for the bottom of the bottle belng supported, a bottle being indicated by the reference character 12, in Fig. 1 of the drawing. 2

Extending upwardly from the circular member 10 and arranged at opposite sides thereof, are the bearing members 13 which are designed to engage the arms 9, there belng provided suitable pivot pins 14 passing through the bearing members 13 and arms 9, in a manner to permit the circular member to pivot with relation to the stand proper, enabling the bottle supported thereby to be tilted at various angles.

Forming a part of the base 5 is an upstanding finger 15 which is notched as at 16 to accommodate one edge of the upper section 6, the notches being arranged throughout the length of the finger 15, thus enabling the upper section to be moved at various angles with respect to the base 5 to maintain the bottle proper in a horizontal position regardless of the inclination of the surface on which the device is positioned.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is p 1. A bottle support comprising a base, an upper section formed integral with the base and adapted to move with respect thereto, said upper section having opposed angular portions, a circular bottle embracing member having pivotal connection with the right angled portions, and means for securing the upper section in various positions of adjustment with respect to the base.

2. A bottle support comprising a base, an upper section formed integral with the base and adapted to move with respect thereto, means for adjusting the upper section with relation to the base, a circular member pivotally supported by the upper section, depending arms forming a part of the circular member, said depending arms having right angled extremities to support abottle and means to permit pivotal movement of the circular member-"With respect to' the support.

3. A bottle support comprising a base, at upperhsection formed integral withthebase,

and adapted to move with respect thereto,

a circular bottle supportingcmember having pivotal connection with the upper section,

means carried by the) circular bottle supporting; member to embrace a bottle, andpositions of adjustment with respect to the,

ancladapted to move with respect thereto, an upwardly extending arm formed integral with the base and having notches, said notches adapted to accommodate a portion of one edge of the upper section to support the. upper section in its positionsof adjustment, and pivotal bottle supporting'means carried byithe'tupperesection.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixedmy signa ture in: the presence of two Wltl'lGSSGS.
