DE3240583A1 - Writing implement with miniaturised radio receiver - Google Patents

Abstract

To reduce the technical expenditure and space taken up by separately carrying a plurality of everyday electronic and mechanical consumer goods, in particular those for recording information by radio reception and those for taking down information by writing notes, the micro-miniaturisation of electronic circuits which is possible in a known way is utilised in order to provide a writing implement additionally with a radio receiver. Radio broadcasts can be listened to by means of an earphone which is part of the pen equipped with the radio receiver system.

Description

description

Writing implement with miniaturized radio receiver.

The innovation relates to a writing instrument, especially a ballpoint pen, Eilzschreiber etc.

with a housing made of ~ plastic.

Writing implements of this type are known in various embodiments The main purpose of the devices can be designed in such a way that the Reading the time when the recorder is combined with an electronic digital clock as well as performing arithmetic tasks when combining the scribe with a electronic calculator is made possible.

The combination of the writing tool with another device mostly electronic version offers the wearer the advantage of several purposes of use to be able to achieve with the help of a single device.

The innovation is based on the task of a writing instrument that is narrowly mentioned type to create with which the user in addition to the actual Write function the possibility of listening to radio broadcasts, in particular from news broadcasts to stock exchange quotations etc. is given.

To solve this problem, the innovation provides that within the Housing of the writing device a miniaturized radio receiver with antenna (Rod antenna inside the pen, or telescopic antenna, or pull-out Wire antenna) and battery as well as with an olive-shaped earphone. This means that the user can also use the writing instrument as an alternative to occasional eavesdropping use of radio broadcasts. When combined with an additional built-in Digital clock allows the user to use the device both to read the time of day as well as for listening automatically for the purpose of switching on, it is preprogrammed recurring Programs (in particular news programs) and finally also with radio alarm clock function use.

The earphone is preferably at the end with its olive, either in the cap or opposite the writing head in the housing of the writing instrument so that it is rotated about 900 when in use, i.e. counter-clockwise the main axis of the writing instrument can be bent. This measure serves both for easy handling - the writing implement is parallel to the cheek on the Ear placed - as well as to switch on (electr.) The radio part.

In a further way according to the innovation, the reception is more certain Electronic circuit components that enable wavebands or stations of the radio receiver in the writing instrument is modular and can therefore be quickly exchanged built up: They are each in capsule form in the contact holder of the device used.

Another form sees the accommodation of all electronic circuit components for receiving the previous Wavebands in a writing instrument before.

In this most elaborate form, the user sets the required Station with the help of a switch button device and / or by turning an adjusting ring on the housing of the writing instrument.

In a known manner, a fastening clip is on the upper part of the housing or attached to the cap.

In a known manner, the lower part of the housing is also subdivided in such a way that that there the ballpoint pen refill or other writing tips with the associated mechanical elements, e.g. for retracting and extending the writing tip are.

Finally, other electronic elements can be used in a known manner such as quartz digital clock and electronic computing device at the same time in the radio pen to be appropriate.

The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that instead of the separate and renatively conspicuous carrying along of a radio receiver to conferences, meetings or other occasions where due to the Peculiarity of this situation it is only necessary to carry a writing instrument it is necessary to carry a device for multiple use.

The description of several exemplary embodiments and the exemplary Explanation of the basic principles of spatial arrangement and the Figures (A), (B) and (C) show the function. The explanation of the digits results from the text of the patent claims formulated above.
