Abstract
Abstract A closed reservoir of the type used for cleansing capillary pen parts so as to remove dried ink and the like. The receptacle includes a base reservoir containing the cleansing liquid, an intermediate support platform complementally engagable with the reservoir and including a plurality of sleeves conformed to the exterior configuration of the several pen parts, for example cap, reservoir, writing tip; and a cover which closes the reservoir and support. The receptacle is distinguished in that the cover holds the pen parts in place during shaking so as to agitate the cleansing liquid, yet the intermediate platform may be removed from reservoir and cover and supported independently for washing or drying.
