DE202005019142U1 - Writing implement e.g. ball-point pen, for use by children, has writing unit producing current closing contact to illuminant and energy source after overpowering of defined imprint force, whereby illuminant emits optical signal - Google Patents

Abstract

The implement has a suspension-supported writing unit (1) that produces a current closing contact to an illuminant and an energy source after overpowering of a defined imprint force, whereby the illuminant emits an optical signal. The parts of the implement are made of transparent plastic, so that the light signal is observed by a user. A limiter defines pressing depth of the unit and prevents penetration of the unit into a housing.

Description

introduction

conventional writing instruments like pens, fountain pens and pencils, etc. lead in the untrained problems with the printing force during use.

Especially Children in the early School age have in the use of such writing instruments appropriate graphomotor difficulties (illegible typeface, damaged writing instrument, delayed learning the written language u.a.m.) By illuminating the writing means at too much pressure the write means results in a visual feedback of the disproportionately spent Force.

Of the The protection claimed in claim 1 is based on the idea to allow a visual control of the applied imprinting force and thus a feedback to ensure with the graphomotor applied Aufdrückkraft. Special Significance has this optomotor control for children, by alone proprioceptive-motor feedback can not adequately provide such a service.

Furthermore allows the so-equipped writing means a good control for supervisors (Teacher, supervisor, parents), a rehearsal of the necessary pressure on the Write with storage of the corresponding motor stereotype for the Child and optimization of the necessary effort with appropriate Efficiency.

This Problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim 1-8.

An embodiment is with the 1 explained.

technical description

parts in the writing instrument sliding and spring-mounted writing means close from a defined impression force (here by spiral spring) the contact between light source and energy source, what to light the transparent writing instrument body leads. By force reduction (pushing force) goes out the bulb. The triggering force can by different springs for the respective target group can be varied.

Claims (8)

The writing instrument with optical control of the imprinting force is characterized in that a spring-mounted writing means after overcoming a defined imprinting force produces a current-limiting contact with a lighting means and an energy source whereby the lighting means emits an optical signal. The writing instrument according to claim 1, characterized in that it consists of a housing, a spring-mounted Writing means, a light source and an energy source consists which are also spring-loaded (metal spring). The writing instrument according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that the housing or individual parts of the writer Made of transparent plastic allowing light signals can be perceived by the user. The writing instrument according to claim 1, 2 and 3, characterized in that the Eindrücktiefe of the writing means is defined by a limiter, the one Too deep or with too high pressure succession of the Writing medium in the housing prevented. The writing instrument according to claim 1, 2, 3 and 4, characterized in that the writing means spring-mounted (spiral spring) sliding into the housing of the writing means can penetrate to make an electrical contact with the bulb. The Writing means is for this at his lying in the housing End with a metal contact surface equipped, which is connected to the power source. The writing instrument according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, characterized in that at a defined contact pressure of the writing means on a writing surface as a result of exceeding a defined penetration depth (coil spring and limiter) of the writing means in the housing, the writing means produces an electrical contact to the light source and its energy source. The writing instrument according to claims 1 to 6, characterized in that writing means, Light source and energy source are connected in series and through conclusive electrical contact of the writing means to the bulb and its Energy source, the light source emits optical signals. The writing instrument according to claim 1 to 7, characterized in that lighting means and energy source are interconnected and more spring loaded Contact to the housing exists to ensure a buffering contact to write means.
