Abstract

The invention relates to a writing instrument cap and clip therefor. The cap has secured thereto an immovable end piece made rotationally integral with the cap by the heel portion of the clip being sunk into a notch in the cap.

Description

La présente invention concerne des instruments à écrire, tels que stylographes et porte-mines, comportant un capuchon muni d'une agrafe, et concerne plus particulièrement des moyens de fixation du fond du capuchon sur ce dernier.The present invention relates to writing instruments, such as stylographs and mechanical pencils, comprising a cap provided with a staple, and more particularly relates to means for fixing the bottom of the cap to the latter.

Sur la plupart des instruments à écrire pourvus d'un capuchon, le fond de ce dernier est constitué d'une pièce rapportée, généralement vissée sur le corps du capuchon. Une telle disposition permet de simplifier la fabrication de celui-ci en rendant possible par exemple l'utilisation de tubes profilés. Du fait de sa meilleure accessibilité, cette disposition favorise en outre l'entretien du mécanisme interne au capuchon.On most writing instruments with a cap, the bottom of the cap consists of an insert, generally screwed onto the body of the cap. Such an arrangement simplifies the manufacture thereof by making it possible for example to use profiled tubes. Because of its better accessibility, this arrangement also promotes maintenance of the internal mechanism of the cap.

On a cependant constaté qu'au bout d'un certain temps d'utilisation, les fonds de capuchon montés de cette façon avaient tendance à se dévisser. Cet inconvénient est d'autant plus grave que, la plupart du temps, un tel fond assure également le maintien de l'agrage de l'instrument à écrire.However, it has been found that after a certain period of use, the cap bottoms mounted in this way tend to unscrew. This drawback is all the more serious since, most of the time, such a background also maintains the bonding of the writing instrument.

Pour éviter tout dévissage accidentel, on a proposé d'intercaler entre le capuchon et le fond, une rondelle frein du genre rondelle "GROWER". Cependant, compte-tenu du caractère peu esthétique de ce moyen d'immobilisation, on ne peut l'utiliser que sur des instruments à écrire dits "bon marché".To avoid any accidental unscrewing, it has been proposed to insert between the cap and the bottom, a lock washer of the "GROWER" washer type. However, given the unattractive nature of this means of immobilization, it can only be used on so-called "cheap" writing instruments.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités en proposant un moyen de fixation du fond de capuchon d'un instrument à écrire ne faisant appel extérieurement à aucun dispositif supplémentaire de fixation.The object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a means of fixing the bottom of the cap of a writing instrument which does not call on any external fixing device.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un instrument à écrire du type comportant un capuchon et une agrafe, ledit capuchon étant muni d'un fond amovible dont l'immobilisation en translation par rapport au capuchon est tributaire seulement d'une immobilisation en rotation dudit fond, caractérisé en ce que ledit fond et ledit capuchon sont solidarisés en rotation par l'intermédiaire du talon de ladite agrafe.To this end, the subject of the present invention is a writing instrument of the type comprising a cap and a staple, said cap being provided with a removable bottom, the immobilization of which in translation relative to the cap is dependent only on immobilization in rotation of said bottom, characterized in that said bottom and said cap are secured in rotation by means of the heel of said clip.

Ainsi dans les instruments à écrire suivant l'invention, la liaison en rotation du fond et du capuchon est assurée par le talon de l'agrafe. Cette liaison en rotation assure la complète solidarisation du fond et du capuchon, puisque dans les instruments à écrire concernés l'immobilisation en translation du fond est tributaire de son immobilisation en rotation, c'est-à- dire que pour immobiliser le fond en translation il faut et il suffit de l'immobiliser en rotation. Tel est le cas par exemple lorsque le fond est vissé sur le capuchon, ou lorsqu'il est disposé sur lui à l'aide d'un système à baïonnette.Thus in the writing instruments according to the invention, the connection in rotation of the bottom and of the cap is ensured by the heel of the staple. This rotational connection ensures complete securing of the bottom and the cap, since in the writing instruments concerned the immobilization in translation of the bottom is dependent on its immobilization in rotation, that is to say to immobilize the bottom in translation it is necessary and sufficient to immobilize it in rotation. This is the case, for example, when the base is screwed onto the cap, or when it is arranged on it using a bayonet system.

Plusieurs exemples de mise en oeuvre de l'invention sont décrits ci-après en référence aux dessins annexés:

  • La figure 1 est une coupe partielle d'un instrument à écrire suivant l'invention;
  • La figure 2 est une coupe radiale selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1;
  • La figure 3 est une vue éclatée en perspective du capuchon, du fond et de l'agrafe;
  • La figure 4 est une vue en coupe d'un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention; et
  • La figure 5 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne V-V de la figure-4.
Several examples of implementation of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
  • Figure 1 is a partial section of a writing instrument according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a radial section along line II-II of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the cap, the bottom and the clip;
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the invention; and
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line VV of Figure-4.

Sur les figures 1 à 3 le capuchon est constitué d'un tube 1 pourvu à l'une de ses extrémités 3 d'un filetage interne 5. Un fond 7 constitué d'un bouchon fileté est vissé dans le filetage 5. Une agrafe 9 pourvue d'un talon 11 est encastrée à la fois dans une rainure 13 de la partie supérieure du fond 7, et dans une encoche 15 du bord supérieur du capuchon 1. Le talon 11 est fixé sur le fond 7 par une vis 17, avec interposition d'une rondelle frein 19.In Figures 1 to 3 the cap consists of a tube 1 provided at one of its ends 3 with an internal thread 5. A bottom 7 consisting of a threaded plug is screwed into the thread 5. A clip 9 provided with a heel 11 is embedded both in a groove 13 in the upper part of the bottom 7, and in a notch 15 in the upper edge of the cap 1. The heel 11 is fixed to the bottom 7 by a screw 17, with interposition of a lock washer 19.

Dans ces conditions, le fond 7 étant vissé sur le corps 1, son immobilisation en translation est tributaire de son immobilisation en rotation. En effet,le fond 7 ne sera immobilisé en translation qu'à partir du moment où on ne pourra plus le visser ou le dévisser,c'est-à-dire dès que son immobilisation en rotation sera réalisée. Cette dernière est assurée par le talon de l'agrafe puisque celui-ci est à la fois fixé sur le fond 7 et encastré dans l'encoche 15 du capuchon 1.Under these conditions, the bottom 7 being screwed onto the body 1, its immobilization in translation is dependent on its immobilization in rotation. Indeed, the bottom 7 will not be immobilized in translation until the moment when it can no longer be screwed or unscrewed, that is to say as soon as its immobilization in rotation is achieved. This the latter is ensured by the heel of the clip since the latter is both fixed on the bottom 7 and embedded in the notch 15 of the cap 1.

Il est bien évident que sans sortir du cadre de l'invention on pourrait modifier certains détails de réalisation ou leur agencement en vue d'obtenir le même résultat.It is obvious that without departing from the scope of the invention, it would be possible to modify certain construction details or their arrangement in order to obtain the same result.

On pourrait ainsi, comme montré sur les figures 4 et 5, solidariser l'agrafe 20 et le capuchon 22 à l'aide d'une vis 24, et assurer la liaison en rotation de l'agrafe avec le fond 26 en encastrant le talon 21 de l'agrafe 20 dans une cavité 28 de ce dernier.We could thus, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, secure the clip 20 and the cap 22 with a screw 24, and ensure the rotational connection of the clip with the bottom 26 by embedding the heel 21 of the clip 20 in a cavity 28 of the latter.

On pourrait également fixer le fond sur le capuchon par tout autre moyen que le vissage dans lequel l'immobilisation en translation du capuchon serait tributaire de son immobilisation en rotation. On pourrait ainsi fixer le fond sur le capuchon à l'aide d'un système à baïonnette.One could also fix the bottom on the cap by any other means than the screwing in which the immobilization in translation of the cap would be dependent on its immobilization in rotation. It would thus be possible to fix the bottom to the cap using a bayonet system.
