Definitions

  • the invention relates to a writing instrument making it possible to write indifferently with a writing device of the ball type or of the mine type.
  • the driving element can be tubular, being constituted by a simple tube mounted sliding inside the body of the instrument, and moved by through the control unit.
  • the action of the control member on this driving element can result from an operation of direct translation of the member by the operator, for example using a finger on an operating end piece, and locking of position of the member on a notched hooking element or be indirect by rotation of this member, leading by a set of cams suitable for the translational action on the trainer in order to exit or not the member d writing proper (his writing tip).
  • the driving element can also be constituted by a part of the body of the instrument itself.
  • a ball-point writing member 1 will be referred to as the sub-assembly (FIG. 1) consisting of a tube filled with ink and provided at one end with a crimped ball allowing the ink to be transferred from tube to the support on which the user writes, said tube possibly comprising a shoulder 2 on the writing side.
  • a writing device a mine a sub-assembly ( Figure 2) comprising a mine reservoir and a clamp mechanism which, stressed in compression, is likely to bring out portions of mine of a determined length. Said mechanism is of a model commonly available from manufacturers, its operation being based on the fact that during compression thereof, a clamp 4 ( Figure 3) moves, causing in its movement a mine.
  • This sub-assembly includes a shoulder 2 ′ on the side of the writing tip.
  • Each of the writing members, ball or lead can be provided at the end opposite the writing tip with a connecting element or end piece (respectively 3, 3 ′), immobilized at least in translation relative to the writing organ.
  • the connecting element can play several roles. It can first of all have a compensating role in relation to the possible differences in length of the writing organs, lead and ball. Secondly, it acts as an adapter in order to make the ends opposite the writing tip identical in shape and size. Finally, it can provide a practical handling advantage for the user during a change of writing device, for example by having a notched external surface state.
  • the writing members are conventional, as mentioned previously, but they can be integrated into writing instruments according to the invention of various configurations.
  • the writing instrument shown is made up (FIG. 4a) of a lower tube called sheath 11 and of an upper cap 12.
  • the tube 11 has on the writing side a stop 111 on which the writing member comes to bear.
  • the tube 11 has an external male thread 112.
  • the cap 12 fulfills the function of tubular drive of the writing member, having in the part inside a housing 122 adapted to receive the end 3 or 3 ′ of this writing member and to retain it thanks to an elastic deformation (by fitting).
  • This cap 12 in the form of a tube has an internal female thread 123 capable of receiving the male thread 112 of the tube 11, so as to secure these tubes, and two longitudinal grooves 124 and 125 formed in its thickness ( Figure 4b).
  • An annular elastic member 13 is received in a groove 113 of the tube 11.
  • This elastic member 13 has a protrusion 131, and is immobilized integrally with the tube 11 by means of its curved ends inserted in a slot 114 of the tube 11.
  • the cap 12 comprises a clip 20 and its fixing device 21.
  • the operation of the writing instrument is as follows. The user removes the cap 12 from the tube 11 by unscrewing it, inserts the writing device chosen, by pencil or ball, in the housing 122 of the cap, then screw it back on the tube 11.
  • the rotation of the cap 12 relative to the tube 11 in the opposite direction causes the writing member to retract, and when the protuberance 131 is located opposite the housing 125 of the cap, the elastic member 13 expands causing a braking of the rotational movement which indicates to the user that the tip of the writing member has returned inside the pen.
  • FIG. 7 shows the relative positioning of the various members in the retracted position.
  • the rotation of the cap causes the same movement as previously, that is to say the exit from the end of the lead writing device, positioning its shoulder 2 'substantially in abutment on the stop 111 of the sheath ( figure 8). If the user prolongs this rotation by passing the protuberance 131 beyond the housing 124, he thus causes a new advance of the mine mechanism which will ensure the compression of the writing member, compression exerted between the support 2 'and the 'end 3' secured to the cap 12. This compression stresses the internal mechanism of the mine writing member and causes the exit of a portion of mine ( Figure 9).
  • the writing instrument consists as above ( Figure 10) of a body composed of two tubes placed end to end, substantially the same diameter and the same length, one lower or anterior called sheath 11 and having on the side writing a stop 111 on which the shoulder of the writing member can rest, and the other upper 12, called a cap, comprising teeth 126 and 127 (FIG. 11), of different lengths in the posterior part of its internal face. It further comprises a central tubular drive 23 mounted to slide in the body and having at one end a thread 231 in which the user can screw the connecting element 3 or 3 'in which the writing member is fitted.
  • An operating device 6, operating by snap-fastening and known per se (FIG. 11), is located at the rear end of the instrument.
  • This device drives the translation of the coach.
  • a stop insert 16 is force fitted into the tube 11.
  • An elastic return member 17 is compressed between the insert 16 and the tubular driver 23.
  • a clip 20 and its fixing device 21 are mounted as above on the cap.
  • the latching device (FIG. 11) operates in a conventional manner by the translational operation of an end pusher 14 and makes it possible to obtain two equilibrium positions of a grooved movable internal tube 15 in contact with the driver.
  • the operation of the instrument is as follows. The user removes the cap 12 from the sheath 11 (by unscrewing), screws the writing member chosen in the tubular driver 23 by means of the connecting element 3 or 3 ', then puts the cap 12 back on. with the writing member on the sheath 11.
  • the connecting element 3 ′ of the lead member (FIG. 14) has a length such that, in the first equilibrium position, the shoulder 2 ′ of the writing member is almost in support on the stop 111 of the sheath 11 ( Figure 15).
  • a pressure exerted on the pusher 14 causes the grooved tube 15 and therefore that of the tubular driver 13 to advance. This determines whether the shoulder 2 ′ is pressed against the stop 111, then the output of a portion of mine ( Figure 16). After releasing the pressure on the pusher, the instrument is in the writing position and able to receive new stresses for mine exits.
  • the writing instrument consists (figure 17a, 17b, 17c) of a body composed as before of two tubes placed end to end, substantially the same length and the same diameter, one called sheath 11 and having side writing a stop 111 on which will bear the shoulder 2 'of the writing device in particular mine, the other 12 called cap. It comprises a central tubular drive 23 ′ into which the user inserts the writing member, immobilization being effected by means of a split elastic ring 33 present on the connecting element 3 or 3 ′ (it - even fitted on the ball refill or the mine mechanism), elastic ring blocking in an internal groove 231 'of the tubular driver. Said tubular driver has at its anterior end two shoulders 234 'and 232'.
  • This tube has a finger 241 on its external lateral surface and a longitudinal notch 242 at its anterior end.
  • a control tube 25 surrounding the driver at its rear part has teeth 251 towards its rear end allowing it to be free in translation relative to the cap 12 but linked in rotation relative to the latter, said teeth 251 being introduced in the longitudinal grooves 121 of the cap.
  • An insert 26 is force fitted into the sheath 11. This insert is provided on its inner surface with longitudinal grooves 261 in which the notching teeth 242 of the tube 24 slide, thus preventing any rotation of said tube.
  • a tubular end piece 27 is mounted adjacent to the insert.
  • This end piece is preferably made of a plastic material overmolded on the anterior end of the tube 25.
  • This tubular end piece has on its lateral surface a slot 271 forming a hole in the helical cam path into which the finger 241 is inserted. The end piece is resting against the insert 26.
  • An elastic member 18 is compressed between the shoulder 234 'of the tubular driver and the tube 24, leaving a clearance "e" between the tube 24 and the shoulder 232' in the rest position of the tubular driver 23 '.
  • Various fixing members are provided, such as an annular screw 19 making it possible to immobilize in translation the control tube 25 by means of the tubular endpiece 27, an elastic element 120 with a blade fixed in the cap 12 and frictionally retaining said cap on the control tube 25, a clip 20 and a fixing screw 22.
  • the operation of the writing instrument is as follows.
  • the user disengages by translation the cap 12 of the control tube 25, and inserts the writing device chosen in the tubular driver.
  • the immobilization in translation of the connecting element 3 or 3 'relative to this tubular drive is achieved by means of the split ring 33 housed in a groove 31 of the connecting element, an! Split water which tightens during of the introduction into the trainer relaxes when it faces the groove 231 'of said trainer, and thus secures the writing member to the trainer.
  • the user puts the cap back on the control tube 25.
  • this type of embodiment In addition to allowing the user to be able to easily change the type of writing with standard type writing devices fitted with a molded plastic connection element, therefore economical, this type of embodiment also has two other advantages. .
  • the first is linked to the addition of an elastic compensating member 18 and of the space "e", an addition which gives writing comfort on the one hand since if the user changes his writing pressure, or else written on a hard surface, the elastic organ is able to absorb these pressure variations. On the other hand, it allows absorb the dimensional variations in the length of the mine mechanism while avoiding premature compression of said mechanism. Furthermore, it avoids wear of the organs in the case of the use of a ball-point writing member having a shoulder 2.
  • the writing instrument consists ( Figures 23a, 23b, and 23c) of a body composed of two tubes placed end to end, as before, substantially of the same diameter, one called sheath 11 and the other cap. 12.
  • the sheath is on the side of the writing member and preferably has a conical shape at its anterior end, provided with an internal stop 111.
  • This assembly forming a body, houses a central tubular driver 23 '' in which the user inserts the writing member, either ball or lead. It immobilizes the latter in the driver, for example by means of a thread formed at the rear end and receiving a screw or a complementary thread secured to the connecting element 3, itself fitted by elastic deformation on the body of the ball refill or the mine mechanism.
  • a cylindrical bell-shaped cam 35 preferably made of plastic overmolded on the tubular driver, is also housed. Ce.lle-ci laterally has a lug 351.
  • the developed of this cam ( Figure 24) has three areas of balance A ', C' and E ', two ascending slopes B' and D 'of the same inclination and a descending slope F ', preferably vertical.
  • a guide tube 37 surrounds the assembly on the anterior portion. This tube laterally has a slot 371 over a part of its length, said fe! Receiving a lug 351.
  • a control tube 38 surrounds the assembly on the rear portion.
  • This tube has at its front end a bell-shaped cam 39, perfectly complementary to the cam 35 and preferably made of a plastic material overmolded on said driving tube (FIG. 25).
  • This tube 38 presents locally at its surface of the teeth 381 which, being introduced into the longitudinal internal grooves 121 of the cap 12, allow it to be free in translation relative to said cap, but linked in rotation relative to the latter.
  • a return spring 30 is mounted between the front end of the driver and the cam 35. It tends to keep the central tubular driver in the retracted position by means of the cam 35.
  • An insert 31 is force-fitted into the sheath 11. This insert has at its rear end a lug 311 which is introduced into the slot 371 of the guide tube 37 and immobilizes it in rotation.
  • Various fixing members are also contained, such as a screw 32 making it possible to secure in translation the control tube 38 and cam 39 assembly by means of a tightening joint 43, an elastic element 120 'fixed in the cap. 12 by the screw 22 tightened at its end and frictionally retaining the cap 12 on the control tube 38, and a clip 20 fixed to the cap 12 by said screw 22.
  • the relative rotation of the cap 12 relative to the sheath 11 causes in its movement the control tube 38 which transmits this movement to the cam 39.
  • the rotation of this cam 39 causes the translation of the cam 35 which is immobilized in rotation by the 'Intermediate of the lug 351 sliding in the slot 371 of the tube 37.
  • This translation causes the translation of the tubular driver 23''which determines the advance and the output of the end of the writing member (figure 27a) the possible shoulder 2 of which will be positioned almost in abutment on the stop 111.
  • the friction is carried out simultaneously on the corresponding parallel surfaces B and B 'and D and D ', thus greatly reducing wear on the parts.
  • cams 35 and 39 a press according to which they have three equilibrium zones A, C and E, (A ', C' and E '), the first two allowing the user to easily find the two usual configurations for positioning the writing organs.
  • the third equilibrium zone E is of great interest to the user. Indeed, in conventional writing instruments equipped with a clamp mechanism of this type, when broken pieces of mine or of too large diameter have blocked the organs of the mechanism, the user must perform a tedious operation, which consists in maintain with one hand the mechanism in the compressed position, and with the other hand, to introduce through the anterior end of the instrument the rod usually supplied and which makes it possible to repel the pieces of lead.
  • the particular shape of the cam developed in FIG. 32 as described above will preferably be used in small diameter instruments because it allows, despite a small circumference, to obtain slopes allowing a gentle maneuver for the user and without risk of wear. for moving parts.
  • the shape of the cam in FIG. 33 can be used in instruments of larger diameter allowing a larger developed cam, and thus allowing control of the mechanism by rotation in one direction or the other.
  • the operating member may also include a selective control element as a function of the writing member used, for example a turning wheel according to whether a refill of mine or a ball is used, authorizing compensation for the length of mine refills or ball.
  • This element can also act on the drive compensation spring of the trainer by taring it differently depending on whether it is a mine refill (harder) or a ball refill.
