The [[Stylomine]] brand was officially registered in [[1921]] with n. 199226, and was used by ''Yves E. Zuber'' for his pencils. The fountain pen production began only in [[1925]] with some [[safety]] models in black or red marbled black hard rubber. It was relevant also for the production of [[overlay]]s in both rolled gold or precious metals. But in this period the product most characterizing the company's production is the mechanical pencil ''Autostyl'', in which the mine is automatically replaced after exhaustion. The production of mechanical pencils will continue for all following years, with different names such as ''Stylomine Automatic'' and ''Stylomine 202''.

In [[1933]] was created a very special re-entrant nib mounted on a spring that was made by screwing the cap back by the pressure of an inner tip (see {{Cite patent|FR|737930}}). This system, along with the re-entrant nib, was used in the new model [[Stylomine 303B|303B]], produced in three versions corresponding to three different sizes. The loading was a refinement of the previous system of [[Stylomine 303|303]] and was also used for the model [[Stylomine 303C|303C]], without re-entrant nib, which in addition to the three previous versions was made in [[celluloid]] and with a fourth size, large enough to call it [[Mastodonte]].

A questo modello venne aggiunto nel [[1933]] un particolarissimo gruppo pennino montato su una molla che veniva fatto rientrare con l'avvitamento del cappuccio grazie alla pressione di una punta interna (vedi brevetto {{Cite patent|FR|737930}}). Questo sistema, insieme al pennino rientrante, venne usato nel nuovo modello [[Stylomine 303B|303B]], prodotto in tre versioni corrispondenti a tre diverse misure. Il caricamento era un perfezionamento del precedente sistema della [[Stylomine 303|303]] e venne usato anche per il modello [[Stylomine 303C|303C]], senza pennino rientrante, che oltre alle tre versioni precedenti venne realizzato in [[celluloide]], e con una quarta dimensione, sufficientemente grande da farla denominare [[Mastodonte]].  
  
 
But the most significant invention of the company, which is a bit its distinguishing feature,  is the revolutionary [[accordion filler]] a peculiar variant of breather tube filler which allowed a large ink capacity, in which the pumping was carried out thanks to an ink sac with accordion walls, and in which the bulb was replaced by a button under the bottom, consisting of a glass ampule inserted to slide in the rear end of the body, that you could press to make the pumping, use and also to see the remaining ink.

Particular interest come also from the development of the [[Stylomine 303D|303D]], an [[hooded nib]] model, perhaps the first ever produced. Its patent ({{Cite patent|FR|850525}}) is in fact from [[1938]] and anticipates by several months the corresponding ({{Cite patent|US|2223541}}) [[Parker]] patent for the [[Parker 51|51]], but the company still had patented an hooded nib since 1932 ({{Cite patent|FR|750689}}). So the company seems to have beaten [[Parker]] in terms of innovation. In this case, however, we don't known the exact dates for the market appearance of the model, which in some cases is reported as much later.<ref>As reported in [http://web.archive.org/web/20081111115149/ http://www.stylos-francais.fr/stylomine3.php this article] the introduction would be in 1947.</ref>

Stylomine is one of the oldest French producers, which is highlighted in the fountain pen history for the unique filling system (which, by the shape of the sac, is called accordion filler) which distinguished his pens, that after the expiry of the relevant patent was adopted by many other French producers.

Although the produced models were few, the production company was still of high quality, and very interesting in the French market, in which the company was one of the most significant actors. The company has distinguished itself by technological innovation, having patent an hooded nib before the Parker 51 one, but like all historic French manufacturers could not withstand the impact of the advent of the ballpoint pen and disappeared from the market in the early 60s.

History

Stylomine advertising of 1943

An exact date for the founding of the company with the same name created by Yves E. Zuber it is not known[1] whose activities originate at the end of the first World War, with offices and factory in Paris on Rue Neuve des Boulet, 34-36 and in the Rue de Nice, 2 and later on Avenue Martin Moreau, 45 that was active on the market in the molding and assembly of metal parts, as bag hooks or clips and nibs for fountain pens.

The Stylomine brand was officially registered in 1921 with n. 199226, and was used by Yves E. Zuber for his pencils. The fountain pen production began only in 1925 with some safety models in black or red marbled black hard rubber. It was relevant also for the production of overlays in both rolled gold or precious metals. But in this period the product most characterizing the company's production is the mechanical pencil Autostyl, in which the mine is automatically replaced after exhaustion. The production of mechanical pencils will continue for all following years, with different names such as Stylomine Automatic and Stylomine 202.

But the fountain pen which made famous Stylomine is the 303 model, introduced in 1930 and equipped with a series of very peculiar technical solutions, as an advanced bulb filler system, very functional and with high-capacity thanks to a breather tube ingeniously connected to the feeder (patent nº FR-712327), which allowed the full loading of the pen with only four or five strokes.

A questo modello venne aggiunto nel 1933 un particolarissimo gruppo pennino montato su una molla che veniva fatto rientrare con l'avvitamento del cappuccio grazie alla pressione di una punta interna (vedi brevetto nº FR-737930). Questo sistema, insieme al pennino rientrante, venne usato nel nuovo modello 303B, prodotto in tre versioni corrispondenti a tre diverse misure. Il caricamento era un perfezionamento del precedente sistema della 303 e venne usato anche per il modello 303C, senza pennino rientrante, che oltre alle tre versioni precedenti venne realizzato in celluloide, e con una quarta dimensione, sufficientemente grande da farla denominare Mastodonte.

But the most significant invention of the company, which is a bit its distinguishing feature, is the revolutionary accordion filler a peculiar variant of breather tube filler which allowed a large ink capacity, in which the pumping was carried out thanks to an ink sac with accordion walls, and in which the bulb was replaced by a button under the bottom, consisting of a glass ampule inserted to slide in the rear end of the body, that you could press to make the pumping, use and also to see the remaining ink.

E' di particolare interesse poi lo sviluppo del modello 303D, dotato di pennino carenato, forse il primo mai prodotto, il relativo brevetto (nº FR-850525) infatti è del 1938 ed anticipa di vari mesi il corrispondente brevetto (nº US-2223541) della Parker per la 51, ma l'azienda aveva comunque brevettato penne a pennino coperto fin dal 1932 (nº FR-750689). Si può pertanto ritenere che l'azienda francese abbia battuto sul tempo la stessa Parker in termini di innovazione. In questo caso comunque non sono note date esatte per la comparsa del modello sul mercato, che in alcuni casi viene riportata come molto più tarda.[2]

Nel 1937 circa[3] venne lanciato il modello 303V (la data comunque è alquanto incerta), che adottava il nuovo caricamento a fisarmonica, con un nuovo stile più svasato rispetto a i precedenti e l'uso di un corpo in materiale plastico (cosa che fa sospettare una apparizione più tarda).

The postwar period saw the spread of the hooded nib 303D model, flanked by other models such as the Super 303 with round tip nib. The accordion filler was maintained replacing the glass button with plastic material. In 1947 were introduced the Stylomine 404 mechanical pencil and in 1948 was introduced the Stylomine 707 ballpoint pen.

The company tried to respond to the crisis introduced by the advent of disposable spheres: the lever filler 505 model was introduced (now very rare), the company also joined to Météore, Paillard and Unic to produce the Pulsa Pen and formed a consortium with Bayard and Unic to create the BUC cartridge. It also introduced a cartridge model recovering the historical 303 name. But as with most other historic French manufacturers, the efforts were useless and the company ceased operations in the 60s.

Notes

  1. therefore we will use the 1921, registration date for the trademarkmark, as foundation date.
  2. secondo quanto riportato in questo articolo l'introduzione sarebbe del 1947.
  3. questo è quanto riportato in questo articolo ma l'uso di materie plastiche lascia la cosa incerta.
