Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pen-like device, in particular a toothbrush or a writing device.
- pen-like device refers to objects, in particular everyday objects, of all kinds, 25 whose outer dimensions correspond approximately to those of a toothbrush: for example, ballpoint pens, rulers, scissors, etc.
- Toothbrushes are known in numerous “mechanical” and “electrical” embodiments. Toothbrushes that can be moved mechanically - by hand - generally have one
- toothbrushes a brush neck and a handle section.
- the handle section of electric toothbrushes is generally provided with a motor drive.
- the brush head and brush neck 35 are interchangeable and are inserted into the motor-driven handle.
- the further development of such toothbrushes has long been limited to the anatomical-medical area. So the geometry of the brush head, brush neck and brush handle is constantly changing. New materials and - for electrically powered toothbrushes - new drive technologies are also being developed all the time. However, an important requirement for toothbrushes has so far not been satisfactorily solved by doctors and technicians: toothbrushes must be easily recognizable.
- Toothbrushes printed with first names have recently become known, but they are not satisfactorily developing the principle of different colors. Individual names - like the individual colors described above - are often sold out. Since only the most common first names are offered, many people are completely excluded from this type of identification. In order to be able to offer at least approximately all first names, the retailer would have to have an unreasonably large stock of various offices. entertaining. This would in turn lead to de trade no longer offering enough toothbrushes of different materials and different geometries.
- the present invention therefore aims to provide an easily recognizable pen-like device in which the inventory of the trade is reduced.
- the marking device comprises a movable marker as well as letters and / or numbers (claim 2).
- a particularly simple individual marking is made possible: the user only needs to place the movable marking means on a specific number or the first letter of his first name and can thus "his" toothbrush and / or "his” pen safely and easily recognize.
- all the letters of an alphabet are arranged offset from one another on a grip section of the pen-like device (claim 3). If all letters of an alphabet are printed or glued to the pen-like device, each first and / or last name can be marked by its initial letter. With the dimensions of the handle section of pencils or toothbrushes, it is particularly clear to arrange the individual letters of the alphabet on the edge of the handle section.
- the movable marking means has a disc, a cylinder or a reel. cash tape on which the letters and / or numbers are applied, the disc, the cylinder or the unwindable tape being arranged such that one or two of the letters and / or numbers are visible in a window of the handle section are, and wherein a rotatable knob is provided for adjusting the disc, the cylinder or the unwindable tape to a specific letter or a specific number (claim 4).
- a marking device is realized which combines original designs and fashionable high-tech designs with a particularly practical handling.
- the movable marking means is displaceable (claim 5). Movable markers are particularly suitable for the elongated pen shape.
- the displaceable marking means is particularly preferably guided in a groove in the pen-like device or on a rail-like elevation on the pen-like device (claim 6).
- the channel or the rail-like elevation can likewise be integrated particularly easily into the pen-like articles of daily use and can serve as a guide for the displaceable marking means.
- At least one ring in particular a rubber or plastic ring, is particularly preferably provided as the displaceable marking means (claim 7).
- the rubber or plastic ring is simply pulled over the lettered handle section. To mark individual data, it is placed in the place of the desired letter.
- the handle section is surrounded by a worm in which the displaceable ring is guided (claim 8).
- the movable marking means is at least one repositionable pointer, the marking device also comprising a catch, in particular insertion holes, which defines the engagement points for the repositionable pointer (s) (claim 9).
- the grid is advantageously arranged such that there is an insertion hole or an insertion notch next to each letter of the alphabet. The reversible pointer then only needs to be inserted in the place of the letter to be marked for individual marking.
- the marking device is an inscribable field arranged on the pen-like device (claim 10).
- the field consists of a material that allows good labeling. To write on toothbrushes, however, a waterproof pen must be used.
- the field which can be labeled is therefore particularly preferably inscribable or inscribed (claim 11). This does not mean an engraving to be applied with the aid of special tools. Rather, the field consists of a material into which a marking can be scratched even without a specially provided tool; for example, simply by exerting pressure with the help of a normal ballpoint pen. The color of the ballpoint pen is irrelevant, all that matters is the pressure applied. Thus, such a material can be used for the field that for a smudge-proof. Interpretation is suitable - although the color of ballpoint pens does not adhere to such materials (for example a smooth one Plastic). This effect is even desirable since ballpoint pens are not waterproof.
- the marking device is a label that can be inscribed or embossed (claim 12).
- the label is sold, for example, as an accessory to the toothbrush or pen and has a self-adhesive coating for its attachment to the pen-like device.
- paper labels that can be labeled with a colored pencil
- the label or field particularly preferably consists of a wax film provided with dye, an overlying paper layer, and a smudge-proof and transparent plastic cover and / or plastic welding (claim 13).
- the paper layer is not too tight on the wax film so that the dye of the wax film is not absorbed by the paper.
- the plastic cover (or in the case of a label: the plastic weld-in) is transparent and so thin that it guarantees water resistance, but nevertheless inscribes the field or the label by exerting pressure with a tip of a pen, a key, allowed a fingernail, etc. If, for example, a ballpoint pen is passed over the plastic cover, the paper layer presses against the wax film, with the dye sticking to the wax film.
- the paper layer "sucks” the color in such a way that a clearly recognizable writing trace results in the paper.
- the field or label designed in this way is particularly smudge-proof and waterproof and can be labeled as easily as a paper label.
- the label or field consists of a plastic film, in particular aluminum film, and an underlying, softer plastic or rubber layer which favors the embossing of a lettering (claim 14).
- the use of aluminum foil for a label that can be written on may seem surprising, almost unrealistic. This is due to the fact that aluminum foil cannot be written on practically with normal pens: the high plastic deformability and the smoothness of the material speak against this.
- First-class "labeling" - in the sense of stamping or scoring without a special tool - results from the combination of the aluminum foil with a softer layer underneath. A track with waterproof stock can then easily be scratched into the aluminum foil.
- FIG. 1-5 different embodiments of pin-like devices according to the invention in front view.
- toothbrushes which are particularly suitable for illustrating the advantages of the invention.
- the invention is in no way intended to be limited to toothbrushes. In an analogous manner, it can be easily transferred to a wide variety of pen-like devices - in particular writing instruments.
- toothbrush 1 shows a toothbrush 1 with a head section 2 and a bristle trim 3.
- a brush neck 5 connects a handle section 4 and the head section 2 to one another.
- the toothbrush 1 has a marking device with lettering 6. All letters ben of the Latin alphabet are offset from each other on the handle of the toothbrush 1 printed.
- the marking device also comprises a movable marking means. Next to each letter there is a plug-in hole 7. In two of the plug-in holes 7 - namely next to the letters "e" and "r" plugs 8 are inserted as movable marking means. A user can insert the two plugs 8 next to each of the letters 6. For example, the first letters of the user's first and / or last name are suitable for the marking.
- the handle 4 of the "mechanical" toothbrush shown in FIG. 1 offers the possibility of applying all the letters of the Latin alphabet to one another on one side of the handle in a clearly offset manner.
- the neck section of an exchangeable insert brush can be provided with an analog identification device. It may prove expedient to distribute the letter print on the front and the back of the brush neck.
- the letters can be attached along the outer sides which surround the longitudinal axis of the pen.
- FIG. 2 shows a toothbrush 1 with a different marking device.
- a rail 9 is arranged on the handle 4 of the brush 1.
- a pointer 10 is displaceably guided on the rail 9 as a movable marking means. The user simply pushes the pointer 10 to mark a specific letter next to the corresponding letters. In this way the letter "e" is marked in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 3 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 3.
- the handle 4 of the toothbrush 1 is of a type "snow ke "11, in which a rubber ring 12 is guided as a movable marking means.
- the rubber ring 12 can now be guided along the screw to the location of a letter to be marked - in the example shown, the letter" g "is marked.
- the screw can be omitted if the rubber or plastic ring 12 lies sufficiently firmly around the handle 4 of the toothbrush 1.
- FIG. 4 A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 4. Inside the brush handle 4 there are two rollers (not shown) between which a plastic band 13 provided with the lettering 6 can be wound back and forth by turning a rotary knob 14. A transparent plastic window 15 ensures the water resistance of the marking device.
- a label 16 has two layers of material: a plastically deformable aluminum foil 17 and an underlying, softer plastic or rubber layer (not shown) that promotes embossing.
- the aluminum foil 17 can be provided with a writing 18 (here the name: "Michael") by using a ballpoint pen or a similar object without a special tool by exerting pressure.
- an attachable label - e.g. one that can be clamped around the neck section 5 or the handle 4 of the toothbrush 1 - can be used (not shown).
