Definitions
- the present invention relates to a writing or drawing instrument of the kind comprising a removable cap, intended to cap the pen or the writing or drawing tip of the instrument to protect it, this cap being provided with a clip. fastening for temporarily fixing said writing instrument on the upper edge of a garment pocket or a bag pocket, satchel, document holder, etc.
- the cap can be hung on the upper edge of the pocket with its open end facing upwards, which makes it possible to remove the writing instrument itself from said cap, or to reintroduce it in the latter which remains hanging on the pocket. during The periods of ut i Li sat ion of said writing instrument.
- Such a device therefore allows the user to extract the writing instrument from its cap while leaving it fixed to its support. The integrity of the whole composed of the instrument and its cap is then broken. IT thus becomes, after use of the instrument, necessary to reconstitute the integrity of the whole instrument-cap, and, consequently, to recap the instrument, with its cap.
- the writing instrument stands above the upper edge of the support (pocket or other) on LequeL i L is fixed, by means of its cap , on, a relatively large length corresponding to the greater part of the length of said instrument, so that the latter has a natural tendency to tilt out of the support, this propensity to tilt increasing with the flexibility "of said support.
- the invention proposes to remedy these major drawbacks which are probably the cause of the absence, on the market, of an instrument of the kind described in document US-A-1,720,559, although this is aimed to provide substantial advantages over t radi ti onal writing instruments.
- this object is achieved by means of a writing instrument of the aforementioned kind, remarkable in that the stop of the fixing clip is arranged in the half-part of the instrument-cap assembly including the inoperative terminal part of said assembly.
- the cap of the writing instrument according to the invention can be obtained easily and economically, by any known molding process, from a single material such as rigid plastic, for example , or by means of only two different materials (one for the body of the cap and one for the clip), and its weight is not appreciably increased compared to that of the usual caps.
- Figure 1 is an elevational view of a writing instrument according to the invention, the cap is shown in longitudinal section.
- Figure 2 is a front view of a writing instrument according to the invention shown hung on a garment pocket.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view along the line
- the writing instrument according to the invention consists of an assembly comprising the writing instrument proper 1 and a cap 2.
- the writing instrument proper 1 is produced in the usual manner and comprises a body of which one operating end is provided with the pen or writing tip 3 and the other end 4 of which will be called the inoperative end in the remainder of this description, as opposed to the previous one.
- the cap 2 has one end provided with an orifice 5 through which the writing or drawing instrument 1 is introduced and one end closed by a bottom 6.
- the cap 2 is provided with a fastening clip or bar 7 of which The stop 8 is disposed on the side of the orifice 5 or open end of said cap and the free end 9 of which is oriented in the direction of the closed end or bottom 6 of the latter.
- the inlet 10 of the passage 11 delimited by the clip 7 and the body 2a of the cap 2 is disposed on the side of the bottom 6 of the latter.
- the clip 7 can be formed in one piece with the body 2a of the cap 2, the cap-clip assembly 2a-7 for fixing being, in this case, made of the same material, or attached to said body of the cap by any known means, the cap and the fastening clip can then be executed in different materials.
- Conventional assembly means 12 by pressure, or by threading, or the like, make it possible to retain the writing instrument itself 1 in the cap 2, when said instrument is not used.
- the stop 8 of the fastening clip or bar 7 is arranged in the half-part L 1 of the length L of the instrument-cap assembly 1-2 which includes the part inoperative terminal 4 of said set 1-2.
- the orifice 5 or open end of the cap 2 is also disposed in the half-part L * of the length L of the instrument-cap assembly 1-2 which includes the inoperative end part 4 of said set 1-2.
- the stop 8 of the fastening clip 7 and / or the orifice 5 or open end of the cap 2 is or are arranged in a portion L "of a length L of the whole instrument- cap 1-2 including the inoperative end of said assembly and corresponding to approximately 40% of the length of this half er.
- the stop 8 of the fastening clip 7 and the open end 5 of the cap 2 are arranged substantially at the same level.
- the location of the fastening of the clip 7 on the body 2a of the cap 2 can be located on the side of the closed end 6 thereof; It is sufficient for this to modify the conformation of the clip whose stop 8 remains disposed on the side of the open end 5 of said cap.
- the cap 2 can also be provided with a usual fixing bar (not shown) arranged diametrically opposite with respect to the fixing clip 7 and extending longi tudi na Lement in a direction opposite to that of the latter.
- Figures 2 and 3 show the writing instrument according to the invention, hung on the upper edge B of a pocket P of clothing V.
- this instrument is thus hung in a stable manner on its support and has no natural tendency to tilt outwards, given that the greater part of its length is inside the pocket, as is the case for conventional pens or similar writing instruments.
