Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlußkappe für Schreib-, Zeichen- oder Malgeräte, die eine Einstecköffnung, einen stirnseitig geschlossenen Innenraum und mindestens einen axial durchgehenden Luftkanal aufweist, der sich zumindest teilweise entlang des Schaftes der Verschlußkappe erstreckt.The invention relates to a closure cap for writing, drawing or painting devices, which has an insertion opening, an interior closed at the end and at least one axially continuous air duct which extends at least partially along the shaft of the closure cap.

Eine derartige Kappe ist aus der Patentveröffentlichung GB 21 74 374 A bekannt.Such a cap is known from the patent publication GB 21 74 374 A.

Diese Publikation zeigt eine Verschlußkappe, die auf der Außenseite des Schaftes mehrere axiale, radial nach außen hin offene Kanäle aufweist, die durch Durchbrüche im vorderen Teil der Kappe mit dem Kappeninneren verbunden sind. Wird eine derartige Kappe beispielsweise von einem Kind verschluckt, so soll entlang der Außenkanäle genügend Luft zugeführt werden, um ein Ersticken zu verhindern und eine dadurch ggf. gefährdete Person bis zu einem ärztlichen Eingriff am Leben zu erhalten.
Da aber Außenkanäle und radiale Durchbrüche beim normalen Gebrauch der Verschlußkappe relativ leicht verschmutzen und teilweise verstopft werden können, ist hier nicht immer die erforderliche Durchlässigkeit gewährleistet. Zudem wird durch die außenliegenden, aus Nuten und Rippen gebildeten, Kanäle der optische bzw. ästhetische Eindruck der Verschlußkappe und somit ggf. des gesamten Schreib­gerätes beeinträchtigt sowie der diesbezügliche Gestaltungsspielraum erheblich eingeschränkt.This publication shows a closure cap, which has a plurality of axial, radially outwardly open channels on the outside of the shaft, which are connected to the inside of the cap by openings in the front part of the cap. If such a cap is swallowed by a child, for example, then sufficient air should be supplied along the outer channels to prevent suffocation and to keep a person who is at risk as a result alive until a medical intervention.
However, since outer channels and radial openings are relatively easy to contaminate and can sometimes become blocked during normal use of the closure cap, the required permeability is not always guaranteed here. In addition, the external channels formed from grooves and ribs impair the visual or aesthetic impression of the closure cap and thus possibly the entire writing instrument, and considerably limit the scope for design in this regard.

Bei weiterhin aus EP 0 204 252 A1, NO-PS 33 364 und JP-GM/AS 61-11016 bekannten Verschlußkappen werden axiale und/oder radiale Durchbrechungen und zum Teil auch Kanäle innerhalb der Stirnseite oder der Außenwand der Verschluß­kappen vorgeschlagen, um Luftdurchlässe zu schaffen bzw. um Kompression oder Vakuumbildungen beim Verschließen oder beim Öffnen des Schreibgerätes zu vermeiden.In further known from EP 0 204 252 A1, NO-PS 33 364 and JP-GM / AS 61-11016, axial and / or radial openings and in some cases also channels within the end face or the outer wall of the closure caps are proposed in order to allow air passages create or to avoid compression or vacuum formation when closing or opening the writing instrument.

Da viele Schreib-, Zeichen- oder Malgeräte oft über eine in einen Geräteschaft lediglich eingepreßte Spitzenpartie verfügen und diese Spitzenpartie einerseits meist in einer Dichtungszone des Kappenschaftes fest anliegt und sich andererseit - besonders bei älteren Stiften - unbeabsichtigt aus dem Geräteschaft lösen kann, ist nicht auszuschließen, daß beim Abziehen der Verschlußkappe diese Spitzenpartie in der Kappe verbleibt, so daß dann ebenfalls kein axial durchgehender Belüftungskanal mehr gegeben wäre. Zudem können auch hier die Austrittsöffnungen der Luftkanäle leicht verstopft werden.Since many writing, drawing or painting devices often have a tip section that is only pressed into a device barrel and this tip section on the one hand usually lies firmly in a sealing zone of the cap barrel and on the other hand - especially with older pens - can unintentionally detach from the device barrel, this cannot be ruled out that when the cap is removed, this tip section remains in the cap, so that there would then also be no axially continuous ventilation channel. In addition, the outlet openings of the air channels can also be easily blocked here.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Verschlußkappe zu schaffen, die die bekannten Nachteile nicht aufweist und die somit ohne wesentliche Beein­trächtigung der äußeren Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten mit größtmöglicher Sicherheit einen stets offenen, axial durchgehenden, Luftdurchlaß aufweist, ohne die Dicht­funktion der Verschlußkappe zu beeinträchtigen. Diese Aufgabe wird mit den im Anspruch 1 aufgezeigten Merkmalen gelöst.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen zeigen die Unteransprüche.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a closure cap which does not have the known disadvantages and which thus has, with the greatest possible security, an always open, axially continuous air passage without significantly impairing the external design options, without impairing the sealing function of the closure cap. This object is achieved with the features indicated in claim 1.
The subclaims show advantageous refinements and developments.

  • FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment,
  • Figure 1a is a plan view of the cap according to. Fig. 1,

Die in den Figuren 1 und 1a gezeigte Verschlußkappe 10 weist im Schaft 1 den eine Einstecköffnung 21 bildenden und einen mit einer Dichtungszone 22 versehenen Dichtungs­einsatz 23 enthaltenden Innenraum 2 auf.
Der durch eine Abdeckung 4 nach außen verschlossene und durch eine Zwischenwand 3 zum Innenraum 2 hin abgetrennte Luftkanal 5 mündet mit seiner vorderen Austrittsöffnung 51 auf der Einsteckseite 11 und mit der stirnseitigen Austrittsöffnung 52 in eine zwischen zwei gewölbt verlaufenden Randabdeckungen 42 auf der Stirnseite 12 vorhandene Freisparung 55. Über einen Wanddurchbrauch 31 ist der Luftkanal 5 auch im Bereich der Einsteckseite 11 mit dem Innenraum 2 der Verschlußkappe 10 bzw. mit der Einstecköffnung 21 verbunden.
Es ist somit hierbei stets eine Luftzirkulation von der Stirnseite 12 zur Einsteckseite 11 hin oder umgekehrt möglich. Bei von außen umschlossenem Schaft 1 kann die Luftzirkulation zwischen den Randabdeckungen 42 über die stirnseitige Freisparung 55, die stirnseitige Austritts­öffnung 52, den Luftkanal 5, die vordere Austritts­öffnung 51 und/oder den Wanddurchbruch 31 sowie ggf. die Einstecköffnung 21 erfolgen.The closure cap 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 1a has in the shaft 1 the inner space 2 which forms an insertion opening 21 and contains a sealing insert 23 which is provided with a sealing zone 22.
The air duct 5, which is closed to the outside by a cover 4 and separated by an intermediate wall 3 towards the interior 2, opens with its front outlet opening 51 on the insertion side 11 and with the front-side outlet opening 52 into a clearance existing between two arched edge covers 42 on the front side 12 55. The air duct 5 is also connected to the interior 2 of the closure cap 10 or to the insertion opening 21 in the region of the insertion side 11 via a wall covering 31.
It is therefore always possible to circulate air from the end face 12 to the insertion side 11 or vice versa. When the shaft 1 is enclosed from the outside, the air circulation between the edge covers 42 can take place via the cutout 55 on the front side, the outlet opening 52 on the front side, the air duct 5, the front outlet opening 51 and / or the wall opening 31 and possibly the insertion opening 21.

Die Verschlußkappe 20 gemäß Figur 2 und 2a ist eine Modifikation der in Figur 1 beschriebenen Verschluß­kappe 10. Im Schaft 1 weist der Innenraum 2 ebenfalls eine an der Einsteckseite 11 mündende Einstecköffnung 21 und einen Dichtungseinsatz 23 auf.
Der von der Zwischenwand 3 radial nach innen und von der Abdeckung 4 radial nach außen begrenzte Luftkanal 5 mündet mit seiner vorderen Austrittsöffnung 51 in eine von einer teilweise peripher umlaufenden Teilabdeckung 41 begrenzte vorderen Freisparung 54.The closure cap 20 according to FIGS. 2 and 2a is a modification of the closure cap 10 described in FIG. 1. In the shaft 1, the interior 2 also has an insertion opening 21 opening on the insertion side 11 and a sealing insert 23.
The air outlet 5, which is delimited radially inwards by the intermediate wall 3 and radially outwards by the cover 4, opens with its front outlet opening 51 into a front cutout 54 delimited by a partially peripheral peripheral cover 41.

Die stirnseitige Austrittsöffnung 52 verbindet den Luftkanal 5 mit einer stirnseitigen Freisparung 55, die - ebenso wie vorne - von einer als axiale Verlängerung der Abdeckung 4 gestalteten und peripher umlaufenden sowie an der Stirnseite 12 in axialer Richtung schräg auslaufenden Teilabdeckung 41 umgrenzt bzw. gebildet wird. Die peripher ganz oder teilweise umlaufenden Teilabdeckungen entsprechen praktisch den Randabdeckungen 42 gem Fig. 1 und 1a.The front-side outlet opening 52 connects the air duct 5 to a front-side cutout 55 which, just like at the front, is delimited or formed by a partial cover 41, which is designed as an axial extension of the cover 4 and extends peripherally and at the end 12 at an angle in the axial direction. The peripheral all or part peripheral covers practically correspond to the edge covers 42 according to FIGS. 1 and 1a.

Wie in den Figuren 3, 3a und 3b anhand der Verschluß­kappe 30 ersichtlich ist, kann der an der Stirnseite 12 verschlossene Innenraum 2 eine zur Einsteckseite 11 hin erweiterte Einstecköffnung 21 aufweisen und durch eine axial vorn verkürzte, nicht ganz bis zum vorderen Schaft­ende 13 reichende Zwischenwand 3 von dem Luftkanal 5 getrennt sein, so daß auch hierdurch eine Art Wand­durchbruch 31 gebildet wird, über den die vordere Austrittsöffnung 51 mit der Einstecköffnung 21 direkt verbunden ist.
Die stirnseitige Austrittsöffnung 52 mündet in einen innerhalb der Stirnseite 12 radial nach innen verlaufenden Querkanal 53, der radial nach außen von einer Teil­abdeckung 41 einerseits und vom stirnseitigen Schaft­ende 14 andererseits, sowie seitlich, von Randabdeckungen 42 begrenzt bzw. gebildet wird.As can be seen in FIGS. 3, 3a and 3b with reference to the closure cap 30, the interior 2 which is closed on the end face 12 can have an insertion opening 21 which is widened towards the insertion side 11 and by an intermediate wall which is shortened axially at the front and does not reach the front end 13 of the shaft 3 be separated from the air duct 5, so that a type of wall opening 31 is also formed thereby, via which the front outlet opening 51 is directly connected to the insertion opening 21.
The front-side outlet opening 52 opens into a transverse channel 53 which runs radially inwards within the front side 12 and which is delimited or formed radially outwards by a partial cover 41 on the one hand and by the front-side shaft end 14 on the other hand and laterally by edge covers 42.

Bei der in Figur 4 ersichtlichen, auf ein Schreibgerät 6 aufgesetzten - oder auf ein beliebiges Schreib-, Zeichen- ­oder Malgerät aufsetzbaren - Verschlußkappe 40, die im wesentlichen der Verschlußkappe 30 gem. Fig. 3, 3a und 3b entspricht, ist erkennbar, daß eine Luftzirkulation innerhalb des Schaftes 1 von der Stirnseite 12 über den Querkanal 53, die stirnseitige Austrittsöffnung 52, den Luftkanal 5 und die vordere Austrittsöffnung 51 auch dann möglich ist, wenn die Verschlußkappe 40 mit dem Geräte­schaft 61 und/oder der Gerätespitze 62 - i. d. R. durch Haftsitz oder durch Verschraubung - fest verbunden ist.In the case of the closure cap 40 shown in FIG. 4 , which is placed on a writing instrument 6 - or can be placed on any writing, drawing or painting device - which essentially corresponds to the closure cap 30 according to FIG. 3, 3a and 3b, it can be seen that air circulation within the shaft 1 from the front side 12 via the transverse channel 53, the front-side outlet opening 52, the air channel 5 and the front outlet opening 51 is also possible if the closure cap 40 is firmly connected to the device shaft 61 and / or the device tip 62 - generally by means of an adhesive seat or by screwing.

Die Dichtungszone 22 der Verschlußkappe 40 liegt hierbei luftdicht abschließend an der Gerätespitze 62 an, so daß die - hier als Faserdocht gestaltete - Schreibspitze 63 hermetisch verschlossen ist. Die axial verkürzte und nicht bis zum vorderen Schaftende 13 reichende Zwischenwand 3 ist hierbei teilweise ebenso ein Teilelement der Dichtung, wie die restliche periphere Umfangsfläche im Bereich der Dichtungszone 22.
Wird die Verschlußkappe 40 vom Schreibgerät 6 gelöst, so kann die Luftzirkulation an der Einsteckseite 11 über den Wanddurchbruch 31 von der vorderen Austrittsöffnung 51 des Luftkanales 5 in den Innenraum 2 bzw. in die Einsteck­öffnung 21 hinein erfolgen. Ein luft- oder flüssigkeits­dichtes Verschließen einer vom Schreibgerät 6 gelösten Verschlußkappe 40 bei umschlossenem Schaft 1 wird dadurch stets mit Sicherheit verhindert.The sealing zone 22 of the closure cap 40 lies airtightly against the device tip 62, so that the writing tip 63, which is designed here as a fiber wick, is hermetically sealed. The axially shortened intermediate wall 3, which does not reach the front end 13 of the shaft, is here in part just as much a part of the seal as the remaining peripheral peripheral surface in the area of the sealing zone 22.
If the closure cap 40 is detached from the writing instrument 6, the air circulation on the insertion side 11 can take place via the wall opening 31 from the front outlet opening 51 of the air duct 5 into the interior 2 or into the insertion opening 21. An airtight or liquid-tight closure of a closure cap 40 detached from the writing instrument 6 when the shaft 1 is enclosed is thereby always reliably prevented.

Je nach vorgesehenem oder erforderlich erscheinendem Durchlaßvolumen ist der Luftkanal 5 in seiner Größe zu dimensionieren. Die Gestaltung im Querschnitt ist grund­sätzlich beliebig und kann der Geometrie der Verschluß­kappe angepaßt oder sonst nach Bedarf oder Wunsch gewählt werden.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen sollte die Querschnittfläche des Luftkanals 5, seiner Austrittsöffnungen 51, 52, des Querkanals 53 sowie der Freisparungen 54, 55 durchgehend, mindestens jedoch 5 bis 10 mm² betragen, um Erstickungsgefahren ausreichend wirksam vorzu­beugen.The air duct 5 is to be dimensioned in its size depending on the intended or necessary passage volume. The design in cross-section is fundamentally arbitrary and can be adapted to the geometry of the closure cap or else selected as required or desired.
For safety reasons, the cross-sectional area of the air duct 5, its outlet openings 51, 52, the transverse duct 53 and the cutouts 54, 55 should be continuous, but at least 5 to 10 mm², in order to effectively prevent choking hazards.
