I PEN HOLDER. No. 258,254. Patentdd May 23 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LEONARD SOHEVENELL, OF ATHENS, GEORGIA.
PEN-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent ItTo. 258,254, dated May 23, 1882.
Application filed September 7, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may .concern Be it known that I, LEONARD SOHEVENELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofAthens, Clarke county, Georgia, have in vented certain Improvements in Pen-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in certain improvements in pen-holders whereby the'hand is supported and the pen maintained in its position in respect to the paper.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View, showing my improvedpen-supportin con nection with a peculiar holder. Fig. 2 is a side view, showing the improvement in connection with an ordinary pen-holder.
Myinvention consists, first, in providing the staff or shank ofthe pen with a peculiar support,-described hereinafter, to reston the paper in a position beneath the hand, and, secondly, in apeculiar construction of the shank, whereby to, afford a better grasp of the article.
The Slltlllli-SlJlllPOl13 consists of two diverging arms, a a, or their equivalent, projecting from the shaft at the under side at about right angles thereto, so as to form with tl1e-end of the shaft and pen a tripod which is self-supporting, always maintainingthe pen in the same' position upon the paper. These arms are in a position to be covered by the hand, which is therefore supported at a point back of the pen and beneath pressure, so thatit may be moved easily over the paper. This support tends to prevent the cramp that results from the weight being thrown upon the pen; and to further prevent this effect, as well as to afi'ord a more natural l and easy grasp of the holder, requiring less tension of the muscles, I make the shaft of the T shape shown in Fig. 1, lyingunder and supporting the fingers, while the thumb is placed below the bar.
The arms a a may be used in any shape to afford a likeresult. They may be flexible or rigid and secured permanently to the shaft, or, as shown, may be connected to a sleeve or a clip, 0, capable of ready application to the shaft of an ordinary pen-holder, as shown in Fig. 2.
i I claim-- I 1. Thesupport forapen-holder,consistingof l divergingarms a a, connected with a clip, 0, adapted for application to the shaft of the holder, 'or about right angles from the holder, as set forth.
2. The combination, with the shaft of a penholder, of diverging arms a a, extending at about right angles from the shaft, substantially as set forth.
3. A pen-holder in which are combined a shaft consisting of a shank and a bar at right angles thereto at the rear end of the shank,
substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereoflhave signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
LEONARD SCH EVE NELL.
