Writing instrument

The invention relates to a writing instrument, in particular a writing instrument for marking lines, for highlighting text passages and the like, whereby the writing instrument can also have an automatic lead or pen feed. A writing instrument is provided whose body is flat, rectangular and not round, so that it can be carried or handled comfortably.

Known writing instruments for line marking or the like have a round, rod-shaped body that rolls away easily, and several such writing instruments are bulky and require considerable space.

The invention is based on the object of designing a writing instrument, in particular a felt-tip pen for line marking or the like, in such a way that it comprises several writing instruments and is nevertheless easy to handle and store.

According to the invention, the body of the writing instrument is designed to be very flat so that the writing instrument can easily be put into a pocket and can also be handled comfortably. At the same time, the writing instrument has several writing or drawing sections.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

In the figures, 1 indicates the body of the writing instrument, which can be made of plastic or another suitable material and has a flat rectangular shape. The writing body 1 has writing sections 2 and 3 that are designed differently, for example one for marking lines and the other for signing or underwriting. The writing sections 2 and 3 can also produce different colors, for example one writing section can write red and the other yellow.

The writing body 1 is provided with an independent writing device 4, for example an automatic writing pen, which can be inserted into and removed from the writing body 1. The independent writing section 4 is designed so that after being inserted into the writing body 1 it is completely enclosed by the latter, as shown in Fig. 3, with the protruding end section lying between the writing sections 2 and 3 and not hindering them during use. In the illustrated embodiment, the two writing sections 2 and 3 are designed approximately triangularly or trapezoidally on the very flat writing body 1, while the protruding end section of the writing device 4 is designed trapezoidally in accordance with the remaining space, so that in the inserted state according to Fig. 3 the writing device 4 does not impair the external appearance of the entire writing device.

5 is a cap for covering the writing sections 2 and 3, which is placed on the upper part of the writing body 1. 6 is a cap attached to the lower end of the writing body 1, which can be removed to refill the writing instrument.

The entire body of the writing instrument is very flat so that it can be easily put into a pocket and can hold several writing instruments at the same time.
