Definitions

  • the invention relates to a writing instrument with a clip with a central section, at the front end of a clamping section and a fastening area at the rear end area thereof is provided, the two are substantially parallel to each other and in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the central section extending fastening webs that limits pivotally connected to a shaft part of the writing instrument are, the pivoting of the mounting webs and thus the Relocation of the clamping section of the clip in a further from Shaft part removed position against spring force.
  • the clip can be passed through appropriate application of force from its snap bracket to the Loosen rib-shaped webs of the shaft part and thus from Disconnect the writing instrument. There is therefore a risk that the clip is lost in use.
  • to hold the Clips on the shaft part are rib-shaped webs, so that the shape for the manufacture of the shaft part accordingly must be elaborately trained.
  • a writing instrument is the beginning mentioned type designed according to the invention such that the Shaft part made of two interconnected shaft sections is formed, between them a receiving opening for the Fastening webs of the clip form the fastening webs sets against movement in the axial direction of the shaft part and the axially extending boundary edges at least with partial areas rest on the outer surfaces of the fastening webs that the fastening webs on their rear, radially inner Ends have rearward-extending retaining projections, which engages with a groove open to the front in the rear Shaft section stand, the radial width of the groove is larger than the radial extension of the retaining projections, and that at the axially front ends of the fastening webs forward extending positioning projections are provided, which in the non-pivoted position at a radial distance from the surrounding wall of the shaft part.
  • the clip is thus in the writing instrument according to the invention by means of the holding and provided on the fastening webs Positioning projections secured against removal in the Receiving opening of the mounting web held, the Insertion in the receiving opening with separate Shaft sections carried out afterwards, for example by Gluing or ultrasonic welding, can be joined together.
  • the intervention defining the position of the clip makes it possible the retaining projections with the groove open towards the front in the rear Shaft section and the radial distance between the positioning projections a pivoting of the surrounding wall of the shaft part Clips around an axis that is roughly in the area of the retaining projections lies, i.e. the clamping section of the clip can be in one position brought further away from the surface of the shaft part become.
  • the clip preferably has a distance from the area of the fastening webs backward extending support portion.
  • This Support portion can form a spring arm on the outer surface of the Fit the shaft part and thus when pivoting the clip to lift its clamping section from the outer surface of the Shaft part are elastically deformed. The resulting one Spring action guides the clamping section when the clip is released back to its original position.
  • the cap shown in Figures 1 to 4 for a Writing instrument has a cup-shaped shaft or housing part 1, that from a shaft section widening towards the open end 2 and a cup-shaped shaft section 3, which inserted with its front end into the shaft section 2 and is connected to this for example by gluing.
  • the Shank section 3 forms in the central region of its cylindrical Section an outer circumferential groove 5, which is in the rear continues a circumferential groove 6 open to the front.
  • Radial outside the groove 6 is an annular shoulder on the shaft section 3 formed with which the rear end of the shaft portion 2 in Engagement is so that there is between the outer surfaces of the two Shaft sections 2, 3 results in a smooth, smooth transition.
  • the shaft section 2 has one at its rear end recess open to the rear, which in the assembled state of the Shaft sections 2 and 3, shown in Figures 1 to 4 together with the shaft section 3 is a receiving opening 7 forms.
  • shaft part 1 In the shaft part 1 is in the usual way for writing instruments cup-shaped seal 4 used. This covers one in Shank section 3 formed through opening 8, which itself in the area of the front end of the receiving opening 7 and something is located radially further inside.
  • the clip 10 connected to the shaft part 1, which is usually consists of metal, has a curved central portion 11 the front end of which is formed a clamping section 12.
  • a clamping section 12 in the the rear end region of the clip 10 are two parallel fastening webs 13, 14 formed, which are spaced apart are located and the retaining projections at their radially inner rear ends 15, 16 have.
  • the fastening webs 13, 14 are positioning projections 17, 18 available.
  • the clip 10 has from its front, the clamping section 12 forming area to its rear end area, in which the fastening webs 13, 14 are located, a U-shaped Cross section, the fastening webs 13, 14 parts form the leg of the U. This results in a pronounced Dimensional stability.
  • About the through the webs 13, 14th formed end region extends backwards support section 19 formed in one piece with the rest of the clip, which is essentially rectangular in cross section, that is does not have a U-shaped cross section.
  • the clip 10 is mounted in the shaft part 1 in that it separate shaft sections 2, 3 with its rear holding projections 15, 16 in the open, circumferential groove 6 of the Shaft section 3 is used. Then the shaft section 3 inserted with the clip 10 in the shaft section 2 and made the adhesive connection. In this situation, the in Figure 2 is shown, the holding projections 15, 16 of the fastening webs 13, 14 in the groove 6, the radial Extension is greater than the radial extension of the holding projections 15, 16.
  • the Clip 10 that prevents circumferential displacement by engagement its fastening webs 13, 14 with the axially extending Boundary surfaces of the receiving opening 7 is not positioned be removed from the receiving opening 7, because even if he slightly from the position according to FIG. until it stops the front edges of its fastening projections 13, 14 on the front peripheral wall of the receiving opening 7 moved forward is, there are the holding projections 15, 16 of the fastening webs 13, 14 still in the groove 6 of the rear shaft section 3, while the positioning projections 17, 18 before the front end of the receiving opening 7 lying wall area of the reach under the front shaft section 2.
  • the support section lies 19 with its rear end area on the outer surface of the rear shaft section 3 and causes under lighter elastic deformation pressing the clamping portion 12 of the Clips 10 to the outer surface of the front shaft section 2. If the user removes the clamping portion 12 of the clip 10 from the The outer surface of the front shaft section 2 lifts off, approximately by one To be inserted into a pocket, there is a pivoting the fastening webs 13, 14 from their shown in Figure 2 Position in which the positioning projections 17, 18 are somewhat radial be moved outside, because of the distance between them Positioning tabs and the surrounding wall of the front Shaft section 2 is easily possible while the Fastening webs 13, 14 in the region of the holding projections 15, 16 on the radially inner wall of the groove 6 or the circumferential groove 5 in rear shaft section 3 are supported. At this Pivoting the support arm 19 is even more elastic deforms and thus generates an increased restoring force through which the clamping section 12 towards the outer surface of the shaft section 2 is charged.
  • FIGS Figures 1 to 4 differs from that of Figures 1 to 4 only by forming the support section of the clip while the cap forming the shaft part has the same shape as in FIGS Figures 1 to 4 has and therefore not again in detail is shown and / or explained.
  • the clip 10 ' one of the fastening webs 13 ', 14' to the rear extending support arm 19 ', which in this case also a Has a U-shaped cross section and forms a receiving opening 20, in which the outer end of a compression spring 21 is supported.
  • the inner end of the compression spring 21 lies on the outer surface of the Shaft part 1, so that in accordance with the embodiment Figures 1 to 4 by the elastic deformability of the support arm 19 generated spring force for pressing the clamping section 12th of the clip 10 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 is generated by a separate compression spring 21 which on a essentially non-elastically deformable support arm 19 'of Clips 10 'works.
