Definitions

  • This invention relates to devices having two portions one of which is a cap adapted to be fixed on and removed from the other portion.
  • the movable part may have the form of an axially movable hollow cylinder being held in one position by spring load when the cap is taken oif the other portion of the device or aixed to a rst end of the other portion, but is controlled when the cap is affixed to a second end of the said other portion and displaced to another position, the sign being visible for one position of the movable cylinder and invisible for the other position of the same.
  • the sign ⁇ may either be brought onto the movable part, in which case the movable part will be controlled by the other portion of the device to appear from and disappear under a covering member' or the movable' part may be controlled to cover and uncover another part on which the sign is arranged.
  • the sign might'be of the illuminated type, which is only visible when illuminated for instance from the interior of a body having transparent walls, in which case the movable part might be an electric contact closing and opening the circuit for an electric illumination.
  • the movable partis a sleeve or hollow cylinder axially movable but it might also be a turnable member.
  • Fig. 1 is an axial section of a fountainpen with a cap mounted on the rear portion of its shaft, ⁇
  • Fig. 2 is an axial section of the same fountain pen with the cap mounted on the other end of the shaft;
  • Fig. 3 is a section on'the line III--III in Fig; 1,
  • Fig. 4 is an elevation of the fountain pen, a sign'appearing in the left and being coveredin the right portion of Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 5 is an axial section of a modified embodiment for a ball pointed pen and ⁇ Fig. 6 is a'sectionon the line VI-VI of Fig. 5.
  • the'pen 2 ofthe fountain pen is fixed in the shaft 1 of ythesame.
  • the shaftA 1l has a threaded portion 3 near its endcarrying the pen 2 onto which the sleeve or cap C is screwed in the position'of Fig. 2.

  • a portion of a part 13 in the form of a hollow cylinder is mounted in the space 7 for axialmovementl with respect Z to the other parts of the cap.
  • the hollow cylinderk 13 has at its upper end three bridges 14 extending through y openings 15 of the inner cylinder 6 into the interior of the hollow cylinder 13 ⁇ where they are interconnectedv by a ring 16.
  • a hollow cylinder 18 with a picture 17 is exchangeably mounted on the hollow'cylinder 13 and is held thereon by the ring 19 removably mounted on thehollowV cylinder 13.
  • the cylinder 18 may be made of paper; card board, artificial material, metal or'another suitable material.
  • the picture may be painted, printed, engraved or produced by any other-method on the hollowv cylinder.
  • the cylinderV 18 might be dispensed withY and the picture might' appear directly on the hollow cylinder 13; Instead of one or morel pictures any other'si'gn-asked for bythe-buyer, for instance a text or a single word might'be provided on the cylinder.
  • the parts of the cap are'assembled in the following manner: First thehollow cylinder 13is broughtonto the inner cylinder 6 from top in Fig.V 1 whereby the bridges 14 areinserted'into the openings 15 of the cylinder 6. Thereafter the spring 8 isv put in place, and the outer cylinder 4 is slidover'the'same until its inner ange 5 seats on the shoulder 20 of thecylinder 6. Now the ring 9 ofthe clip 10 ⁇ is put onto the flangeV 5 and the part 11 is threaded into the cylinder 6.
  • the cap C is taken oif the rearl end of shaft 1 and'isV slid4 over the other end of the shaft'l for protection of the pen 2 the-shoulder 21 of the shaft first ⁇ touches the bridges 14and then, on further relative movement of the shaft'fandfthesleeve inthe same direction the ring 16 together with the cylinder 13 andthe picture 17 is moved towards the-part 11 until it-abuts against'the lowerv edge of the part'11. ⁇ During this movement the spring 8 has beencompressed.
  • the shaft Y 1Y controls thecylinder 13 which is axially movable with respect to theV other parts of the cap.
  • the cap or the shaft 1 is now rotated in order to; engage the threaded portion 6a of the cap with the ⁇ threaded-.portion 3-of the shaft 1.
  • the cap and 'the shaft 1 arenowv in the relative position shown in Fig.r 2 and the ring 16 tightly engages the shoulder 21 and the lower face of the part 11 sothat no ink may leak to the outer portionsof the sleeve;
  • the picture 17 has now-moved to the ring space 7 where it is hidden under the cylinder 4 (right half of Fig. ⁇ 4). If the fountain pen is tobe transformed from theposition shown in Fig.

  • a cylindrical part i closed at its upper end has an outer ange 26 with slots 27.
  • the ilange 26 is fixed to the part 22 of the sleeve by screwing, welding, soldering or pressing.
  • the part 25 ⁇ is enclosed by a hollow cylinder 28 split at its lower end to form three extensions 29.. These extensions extend through the slots 27 into thesleeve 22 of the cap.
  • a disk 31 with a central opening 30 is fixed to the lower end of the extensions 29 for instance by screwing, welding or soldering.
  • a compression spring 32 housed within the part 25 of the cap is held between the bottom of the part 25 and the disk 31 and tends to push the hollow cylinder 28 downwards in Fig. 5.
  • the sign for instance a picture, a text, a word or anything else is provided'on the outer faceof the cylinder 25. As described above for the pen shown in Figures l to 4 the signmight be brought directly onto the part 25 or onto a sleeve which would exchangeably be mounted on the part 25. In the position of Fig.
  • the cylinder 2S forming a part which is axially movable with respect to the other parts of the cap, is controlled by the shaft 23 and is urged into the position shown'in Fig. 5 wherein it again hides the sign on the part 25 of the cap.

  • the sign and/or different parts of the cap might, however, be so arranged that the sign appears whenever the cap is taken oli:l the rear end of the shaft and is fixed to the other end (carrying the pen or the ball) of the shaft.
  • the sign appears at the lower end, in the second embodiment (Figs. 5 and 6) at the upper end of the cap.
  • the sign might, however, appear on any other portion of the cap. It might, for instance only be visible through a window.
  • a magnifying glass might be provided for magnifying the sign.
  • part of the cap which is movable with respect to the other parts of thecap and which makes the sign or picture appear and disappear may be turn-ably mounted in the cap.
