Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for inscribing posters and the like, consisting of an ink pot and a felt pen, the felt pen having a handle and a felt attached therein, which protrudes with one end from the handle.
  • a device for inscribing posters and the like consisting of an ink pot and a felt pen, the felt pen having a handle and a felt attached therein, which protrudes with one end from the handle.
  • a device is known from DE 33 32 466 C2.
  • the felt is held in an interchangeably attached intermediate piece on the handle and is in contact with a storage body in the handle.
  • the intermediate piece is tapered towards the writing tip.
  • the felt-tip pen can thus be inserted into a funnel-shaped opening of an ink cup until the tip of the writing felt is supported on an absorbent body arranged in the ink cup.
  • the ink in the ink cup rises due to the capillary action in the absorbent body and soaks the writing felt supported on it.
  • the ink also rises in this due to the capillary action, so that the supply body is also soaked in the handle.
  • the ink supply used up in the felt-tip pen is automatically replenished during breaks.
  • the object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned in such a way that when the felt-tip pen is inserted into the opening of a congruently shaped ink cup, a high seal is achieved without the felt-tip pen jamming in the receiving opening of the ink cup. Furthermore, the design of the felt-tip pen is intended to prevent the outer contour of the felt-tip pen from being contaminated with ink.
  • a concentric to the longitudinal axis of the felt is provided, which immediately surrounds the protruding end of the felt and is open towards this end, so that the felt tip pen can be inserted into an opening of an ink pot, wherein a collar surrounding the opening penetrates into the groove, and the writing felt hits an ink-soaked absorbent body before the collar reaches the groove base.
  • This design ensures that ink smeared on the side of the opening of the ink cup cannot get onto the outer contour of the felt-tip pen because this outer contour is never inserted into this opening. Nevertheless, the felt-tip pen can be made quite slim, so that when it is used the view of the writing tip is not obscured.
  • the groove and collar of the ink cup can run completely parallel to one another, with a small gap remaining on both sides of the collar. This effectively prevents jamming of the felt-tip pen, as occurs in the felt-tip pen according to the prior art due to the conical intermediate piece there. Despite this gap, a good seal is achieved because the gap between the collar of the ink cup and the felt-tip pen runs in a U-shape and thus forms a so-called labyrinth. For a labyrinth as long as possible, it is constructively advantageous if the depth of the groove is a multiple of its width. The labyrinth effectively prevents the ink from drying out in the ink cup when the felt tip pen is attached.
  • the intermediate piece consists of an inner and an outer sleeve which are arranged concentrically to one another, the sleeves being connected to one another by a central web, so that two identical grooves are formed, which are concentric with the longitudinal axis of the in the inner sleeve arranged, protruding felt felt on both sides, and that the handle is inserted and locked in one of the grooves.
  • the locking can be achieved simply in that in the inner sleeve in the area of the web there is an inwardly projecting extension which locks the inserted felt. The felt is then pressed into the adapter.
  • the writing felt protrudes equally far on both sides of the intermediate piece and is designed as a writing tip.
  • the intermediate piece has two identical grooves pointing in the opposite direction. With the first, upper groove, it is pushed onto the congruently designed handle until the writing felt protruding into the handle meets the storage body there. The locking between the handle and intermediate piece is expediently realized by a clamp fit. With the other groove, it is placed on the ink cup as described above. As soon as the first one, out of the felt pen handle If the protruding side of the felt is worn out, the intermediate piece with felt can simply be pulled off the handle and rotated back on by 180 °. The second side of the felt is then available for use.
  • the wearing part of the felt-tip pen namely the expensive felting pen and the intermediate piece connected to it, can be used twice by the design according to the invention, whereby a 50% saving of these parts is achieved in addition to the functional advantages.
  • a felt pen 1 with a handle 2 is shown.
  • the handle 2 has a cup-shaped part 3 pointing downward, in which there is an absorbent storage body 4.
  • An intermediate piece 5 is attached to the open end of the cup-shaped part 3.
  • This intermediate piece 5 consists of an inner sleeve 7 and an outer sleeve 6, which are connected to one another over their half length by a web 8.
  • an extension 9 tapering to the central axis of the inner sleeve 7 is formed within the inner sleeve 7.
  • a writing felt 10 is pressed into the intermediate piece 5 and is secured against axial displacement by the extension 9.
  • the writing felt 10 protrudes equally far from the intermediate piece 5 on both sides and is designed at both ends as a writing surface 13 and 14.
  • the intermediate piece 5 are accordingly training described two equally deep grooves 11 and 12 were created, which are seen in the drawing up and down open.
  • the intermediate piece 5 is pushed with its upper groove 11 onto the open end of the cup-shaped part 3.
  • the wall thickness of the cup-shaped part 3 is dimensioned such that it clamps in the groove 11 and can only be pushed into it with a significant force. It is pushed in until the writing surface 13 comes into contact with the storage body 4. To compensate for length deviations, there is a free space in the base of the groove.
  • the writing surface 14 When using the felt-tip pen 1, the writing surface 14 will wear out and wear out. If the permissible dimension is exceeded, the intermediate piece 5 together with felt 10 can be removed from the cup-shaped part 3 of the handle piece 2 and turned through 180 °, as can easily be seen from the drawing, and plugged on again. Thus, the second writing surface 13 is then available for further use, while the worn end for transporting the ink rests on the storage body 4 in the handle 2. With this design, double-sided use of the relatively expensive writing felt is achieved.
  • the felt pen 1 is placed in an ink pot 20, as shown in the drawing.
  • an opening 21 is provided in the ink cup 20, which is delimited by a collar 22 standing vertically upwards.
  • the collar 22 corresponds in its shape of the groove 12 of the intermediate piece, but is formed in a somewhat smaller wall thickness than the width of the groove 12 and in a somewhat smaller height than the depth of the groove 12.
  • the collar 22 is fastened to a horizontal wall piece 23, which merges into a vertical wall part 24 which merges into a flat part of the one housing 25 of the ink pot 20 after almost twice the height of the collar 22.
  • the vertical wall part 24 thus forms a depression 26 surrounding the opening 21.
  • In the ink cup 20 there is also an absorbent body 30 soaked with ink, on which the writing felt 10 stands with its writing surface 14 so that it can suck up full ink.
  • the felt-tip pen 1 When the felt-tip pen 1 is inserted into the opening 21, there is a fairly large distance from the vertical wall part 24, so that there is hardly any risk that the writing felt soaked in ink will come against this wall part 24.
  • the felt-tip pen As soon as the intermediate piece 5 reaches the depression 26, the felt-tip pen is guided through the depression 26 on the intermediate piece 5 and passed precisely into the opening 21.
  • the collar 22 penetrates into the groove 12 until the writing felt 14 meets the absorbent body 30 with its writing surface 14. There remains a free space above the collar 22 in the base of the groove 12 and below the outer sleeve 6 above the horizontal wall piece 23, so that tolerances and changes in length of the felt 10 are compensated for.
  • the special design of the intermediate piece 5 enables the felt to be used on both sides, and at the same time a good seal in the ink cup 20 is achieved with simple, non-clamping handling.
