Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for holding a pin or rod made of smearable material, such as a glue stick, wax stick and the like, which device essentially consists of a sleeve open on one side and an element interacting with the pin.
• Such a device is known in many embodiments, but all of these designs are designed so that the sleeve not only serves as a holder, but also as packaging for the smearable material. When this is used up, the holder is thrown away altogether and this pollutes the environment.
• the purpose of the invention is to provide a device of the type described in the introduction, which can be used several times, that is to say that this device according to the invention can be refilled and that the consumer himself can change the pen.
• the device according to the invention is characterized by manually operated means for varying the distance between the edge of the open side of the sleeve and the pin element.
• the sleeve itself from annular parts which can be stacked on top of one another and which are removable, so that a new part of the pen to be used can be released in each case.
• the pin element is a push body which can be displaced in the sleeve and which in a further development can be connected to tension and compression straps which can be adjusted by a hand-operated organ accessible outside the sleeve.
• the pressure body can be made from a nut body, the manually operated element being a screw spindle mounted in the sleeve, which can be passed through a central hole in the nut. Thanks to the twisting of the
• the spindle can be screwed up and down through the sleeve and take the pin attached to it.
• the pin is packaged separately in an envelope made of thin material, for example a plastic film, the sleeve being provided with means for holding the film.
• the separate packaging material for the pen can be made from relatively inexpensive and easily recyclable material. It can be foldable or hard plastic, all in such a way that
• Packaging material can be locked in the sleeve so that the pin can be pushed out of the packaging material by the pressure body.
• the pressure body is packaged together with the pen in the envelope. This can be advantageous if the pin must be able to be withdrawn so that the pressure body can be stably connected to the pin beforehand.
• the screw spindle with at least half the pin length, the free end of the spindle having a tip. With this design, it is possible not only to turn the pin through the nut body, but also through the pin material, in such a way that the tip of the screw spindle passes through the front end of the packaging and thus opens the packaging.
• the packaging sleeve is made of relatively hard material, it can be advantageous to give the sleeve a cylindrical space in which the pin is received and the nut body is received, which nut body acts here as a piston. In this way there is no loss of relatively thin smearable material.
• the packaging material can also consist of foldable material, as a result of which the packaging material is, as it were, stripped along the pen when the pen is used.
• the packaging material can also consist of transparent plastic, preferably the case is designed with a window so that the user can see how much stock is still available in the sleeve.
