"" fountain pen""
Good afternoon all
a question for the pen gurus
Is there such a thing as a "refilling pen kit "
by this I mean like the old pens we had at school that you worked a lever on the side of the pen to fill it . the pen had a bladder that was compressed by the lever and as the bladder expanded it drew ink up through the nib rather than the cartrige type we most use ie. baron, sedona ect.
look forward to your wisdom

Closest I have ever seen is using a converter in a cartridge pen. I have seen some people on the web who pull apart the lever fillers and re-use the bits in custom designs, but that is a whole level beyond what we do with kits.
PeterThe other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

All the kits will take a screw converter to run quality bulk ink. The smaller ones take the small and the larger kits take a large converter
Old type bladders can be sourced from http://www.pensacs.com/
I think they may even fit the kits but I can't confirm that

Thanks Sam
I have used the converters but want to make a lever refill type if this is possible .
As usual the customer wants what you don't have but I said I will try
I seem to remember a post on this some time ago but I can't seem to find any thing

Graham, I have this type of sac, the brass spring pushes in and on release sucks up ink, however, the actual lever mechanism I do not know. Amos

jump over to this forum...someone there might have an ideas. i found the site while researching some resoration of couple old fountain pens. They use a sack, "J" bar and lever for filling. I think you could adapt a nib to fit the sack an the "J" bar is a "J" shaped piece of brass. The trick will be fitting the lever to the housing. have some ideas on how it can be done...will ponder and get a post back here...What material are you considering?

Tough to find stuff like that....also not very reliable...sac fillers will perish over time..All I can think of is another forum on fountain pens (above).
I've never seen any mechanisms for wooden fountains that would entertain a piston filler....Guys...do these exist???
