Such caps for writing implements are usually provided with a holder or clip, whereby the writing implement can be carried in the pocket of the user; the clip is * going tewohnJich befest to a cap 10 of the writing instrument IGT _o In the present case the actual clip or a shark t eranor drtiing for attachment to the cap 10'durch a MSFC hereinafter "iührlich described method provided

The main part of the clip arrangement 12 is a holder or a clip I ^ and an elastic retaining ring 16, which cooperate to the holder or clip assembly on the To attach cap 10 »

In order to achieve the desired result, the holder ik is provided with a resilient shaft portion 18 which overlies the outer surface 20 of the cap 10 in the manner shown in Fig. 1, the resilient shaft having a projection 22 at the normally lowermost end thereof which cooperates with the outer surface 20 of the cap 10 to hold the writing instrument in the user's pocket _{or the like}

The holder I ^ also has a plot 2k , which in the embodiment chosen for illustration

one piece with the elastic shaft part l8. The base has a protrusion 26 normally hanging down therefrom and extending generally parallel to the shaft 18 which bears a pair of spaced apart shoulders 28 opposite on the upper edge thereof, and a pair of ridges 30 in opposite 1-laying assembly to the unteren.Kant e thereof, wherein the region 32 "n shoulders is reset between the beads and df, from Fig. 3 of the drawings can be seen to go shoulders 28 in the base part 24 via, thereby forming a pair of opposed Flanges 3 ^

The resilient retaining ring l6 is made of a material which is expandable and kompressibei such B _{0 e,} a suitable riunuiu or plastic, and it has a normally upper laugh r} ϋ, a normally lower surface 38 and an environmentally •!

The cap 10 has a substantially conventional shape and has

Side wall 46 is formed, a top wall 48 which is generally cylindrical and a transverse

The side wall 46 of the cap 10 is provided with a pair of notches 52 formed therein which are opposite and
in alignment with the slot 50 in the upper ward 48, and are also in communication with the slot 50, with a bifurcated top formed by the cap i>< .

The side wall 46 of the cap 10 also has an interior surface 54 defining an interior cavity 56 that tapers from the normally lowermost end 58 of the cap 10 to the top wall thereof, thereby increasing the diameter

In the embodiment chosen for illustration, the holder or clip 14 has a shape such that it is aesthetic
merges into the cap 10 and has an upper edge 60 which, when the holder assembly 12 is finally referenced
is arranged on the cap 10, in a common plane

inj t the upper wall k & of the cap 10, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Furthermore, the elastic Schittfil l8 of the holder lh stretches at its upper end from one of the notches 52 in the wall% 6 dor cap 10, when the holder assembly 12 is held to the cap in the manner described below, with the result that the holder or clip merges into the cap in an appealing manner, thereby giving the writing instrument an overall appearance which branches I wish. worth seeing isto

Furthermore, the way in which the parts of the holder or Clip assembly 12 produced and held on cap 10 extremely simple and allows quick production. «As can be seen from the drawing, * the Holder or clip made of a flat sheet of metal, in one be punched in a single operation, and the retaining ring 16 can be pressed out of a plastic material »

Once the separate parts are made, they can be connected to the cap 10 in the following manner. An opening is formed in the normally upper, closed end of the cap 10, and the. The opening has the shape of the slot 5O and the notches 12c communicating with it. The retaining ring 16 is then inserted into the lower end 58 of the

10 9 8 18/1309

Cap 10 is inserted by placing the surface 36 thereof upward as shown in the drawing. The surface 3 ° is the one with the smallest diameter and the tapering of the outer surface ^ O of the Haiteriüges corresponds to the tapering of the side wall 46 of the cap 10. Due to the complementary shape of the interior $ of ψ cap b 10 and the retaining ring i6 latter may be facilitated 'along the cap 10 are agitated until the ribs h2 with the interior of the cap 10 and especially the inner surface 5 ^ of the side wall h6 in dense Reibungseingri If more and a predetermined amount of pressure is exerted on the retaining ring 16, it can be placed tightly and securely in the upper end of the cap 10 and adjacent to the slot 50 and the notches 52.

. Once the retaining ring is in place, as described above, the base 2 ^ of the retainer or clip assembly 12 can be gripped and the projection 26 pushed down through the slot 50 and into the interior of the cap 10, after which the projection is attached to the Opening kh will be aligned in the retaining ring l6. After this alignment has been established, the projection 26 is pressed through the opening kk and into the position shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings by a given and predetermined additional pressure, whereby

^ 9 -

the projection 26 extends through the opening so that it is held tightly therein, not only by the inherent elasticity of the ring 16, but also due to the fact that the beads 30 extend outwardly from the lower end of the projection and allow removal of the projection 26 from the opening ^l ik prevent «.

Once holder or clip is fitted to the cap 10 and wvrd held in the manner described above, is as shown in Fig. 3, a flange 3 ^ ii engagement with the lower edge 62 of fines of the slots 52 and the other flange} k engages the lower edge 6k of the opposite notch 52, whereby there is no longer a gap between the cap and the clip. The retainer or clip lk has a width which, although somewhat smaller, is essentially the width of the slot 50 and the cooperating notch » ⁵ 52 KsdaUsth, whereby the holder or clip can be fitted tightly into the upper end of the cap 10 and does not allow gaps or invisible openings.

From the foregoing description it is apparent that, once a di Cl ιpanordnung initially held on the cap 10, they will sit BclI use of even more firmly on the cap. This is due to the fact that when the elastic ring l6 moves along the cap 10 and asu s aminen-

109818/1309

is pressed, causing the ribs 42 to move in tight engagement with the surface 54, the ring initially in tight frictional engagement with the interior of the cap IO is used ^f i the ring l6 in the cap 10 tightly pressed together.

Thereafter, when the clip i4 is attached to the cap 10 and the projection 26 extends through the opening * 4, the pushing of the projection through the opening causes a slight expansion of the ring l6, due to its elasticity, whereby the ring l6 in still closer engagement with the inside of the cap 10 is expanded. The ring 16 will also hold the holder or clip 14 securely, due to its encircling engagement with the projection 2, 6 and the beads 30, which prevent that the projection 26 comes out of the opening 44, as is evident from Figo of the drawings "

It can also be seen that when the writing instrument is pushed in or should be used by exerting upward pressure on the holder or clip 14, one such '' Do not press the clip l4 apart on the retaining ring l6, On the contrary, distribute the retaining ring l6 even more tightly in the upper duct of the cap 10, since a
