Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 18, 1908.

A li ti n filed April 18. 1907. Serial No. 368,874-

To all whom it may concern:

The base 1, has a rim portion or-flange 2,

. Be it known that 1, JAMES W. JAooBUs, a which preferably has a lip 3, at one side somecitlzcn of the United States, residing at Great Neck, county of Nassau, State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Inlrstands, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in reservoirs for liquidsyand particularly inkstands.

The main object is to provide a simple and reliable ink-stand of the so called pneumatic or barometric type.

Another object is to provide an ink-stand of this type which may be readily filled or em )tied.

nother object is to provide such ameohanical construction of this type which is easily made and susceptible to symmetrical design. 7

These objects are attained in an ink-stand as illustrated in the accompanying single sheet of drawings and described in the following specification. In its preferred form it comprises a reservoir formed of two parts between which is an o )ening for dipping a pen. The inner edge 0 theopening is below the level of the outer edge so th'at the ink can not rise in the dip opening above the level of the inner edge. The pen can therefore never be immersed beyond a depth equal to the height of the inner edge of the dip opening. The two ports of the ink-stand are preferably formed of glass, the lower edge of the upper part fitting within the rim of the base. The parts may be secured together in any suitable manner, either permanently or separably, depending upon the conditions of use to which the ink-stand is to be subjected.

what higher than the edge of the rim. The upper part l, is preferably dome shaped and terminates in a cylindrical portion 5, which fits within the base rim, 2, the joint being 1 liquid tight. The side adjacent the lip 3, is

pressed in, and the loweredge of the wall 6,

is some distance above the bottom of the base but below the edge of the-rim 2.

When stood upon edge the reservoir may be filled through the opening 7. When the ink-stand is right-ed, the ink in the "dip opening rises only to the lower edge of the Wall 6.

The reservoir may be quickly completely emptied. when stood upon edge with the mouth down.

Changes in shape and proportions may be made Without departing from the scope or spirit-of my invention.

What 1 claim is:

1. An inkstand comprising two cup shaped members with interfitting cylindrical portions, one of said members constituting the base, the cylindrical portion of the base member being bent outward and extending upward at one side to form a lip and the cylindrical portion of the u per member being indented and cut away a 2. An inlrstand comprising a flat bottomed base member with an upturned cylindrical flange, and a dome shaped member having a cylindrical portion fitting within the base flange and extending to the bottom and being cut away and indented to form a dip opening.
