Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sharpener for shaping the end of use pen-like marking device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a sharpener has a sharpener housing or a housing body a shaping device usually designed as a metallic pointed knife and with a tapering taper, generally starting from the end of the introduction Recording channel for the end of use of the marking device or Marker pen. It is particularly a soft lead pencil, which is used particularly often as a cosmetic stick. It can happen but also a normal pen or unmounted lead, because e.g. a wood or plastic sheathing is not absolutely necessary Is part of the marking device.
  • this sharpener It is also known for this sharpener, its pointed end and therefore in particular its space surrounding the exit slot for the shavings by a detachable Cover the cap, which is effective as a chip catch. At The attached cap ensures that the sharpener is sensitive Pen tip of the marker pen and the peeling waste generated during the tip and the environment from unwanted contact with the peel waste and protects the pen or lead tip.
  • the additional function of protecting the marking device when not in use or sharpener fulfilling mine tip are from US 2,514,761 and known from GB 994 071.
  • the existing clamping connection means are also based on the internal clamping force generators, which are similar to the subject of DE 29 53 022 A1.
  • the invention has for its object a sharpener of the aforementioned Art to improve by having its tensioning means at rest an improved grip on the marker pen ensures the sharpening process but not hindered.
  • this object is achieved by the features of claim 1 an external, and therefore separate, one that can be manually separated from the housing Clamping force generator provided.
  • This avoids any handicap when tip of the spitting process by the clamping connection means because it is from the housing is separated.
  • the separate Clamping force generator should be designed so that it removes any solution from the pin Sharpener effectively blocked. This eliminates the risk of an unwanted solution with the extremely undesirable pollution consequences and the associated Danger to the mine or pen tip.
  • the external clamping force generator is one Cleaning sticks and / or a shaping device for the mine tip and thus a functional part serving a second use.
  • the tension printer or tension force generator is not necessary. He can however, immediately after the sharpening process as a cleaning tool and / or be used at the end of the sharpening process for the final shaping of the mine tip. This prevents a risk of losing when it comes to loosening the marker pen loosened by the sharpener from its clamping or rest position on the sharpener or is removed.
  • the clamping force generator z. B. be a reserve knife for the sharpener, which causes the clamping force when plugged into the housing.
  • Another Second use can be given by the fact that the clamping force generator with a holding end attached to the device or pen shaft is similar the resilient retaining tab of a ballpoint pen or the like for sliding the Pin on or attach to a shirt or jacket pocket, for example. In In the rest position, the retaining clip is inserted on the free end into the retaining channel on the housing and in turn causes the clamping force.
  • the clamping force generator acts directly on the Pen coat.
  • the clamping force generator is at its insertion end facing away from the additional function end designed as an eccentric depending on Rotating or swiveling position the inserted marker pen or clamped on the shaft side or for unimpeded mobility releases.
  • indirect action is also possible by that the clamping force generator z. B. is provided in one piece on the housing Intermediate wall or a pressure tongue radially into its blocking position inside, d. H. towards the receiving channel for the end of use or the Deflects the tip of the marker pen.
  • the sharpener 1 has a sharpener housing or housing body 2 with a circular shape or preferably ellipsoidal cross-sectional shape according to FIG. 7. That is preferable made of plastic housing 2 contains on its front side Insertion opening 3 of a receiving channel 5 for a pen-like marking device, e.g. B. for a soft lead pencil, the or the simplicity below is briefly referred to as pin 6.
  • a receiving channel 5 for a pen-like marking device e.g. B. for a soft lead pencil, the or the simplicity below is briefly referred to as pin 6.
  • the interior of the housing 2 tapers Receiving channel 5 conical to a guide channel 7 (Fig. 5) from the plane a pointed knife 8 as a shaping device for the pen 6 or its pen tip 6b is affected. Its mode of operation corresponds to the basic, in itself known operation of a pencil sharpener.
  • the guide channel 7 is above a knife edge 9 of the pointed knife 8 an arrow-shaped exit or passage opening 10 for pointed or Provide peeling waste.
  • the passage opening 10 passes through the casing of the housing 2.
  • Circumferential spaces 11 (Fig. 5) outside the housing shell in the area of the conical guide channel 7 are in the assembled position from the ring jacket 12 of a chip collection container 13 comprises. This is from one of the insertion openings 3 opposite housing side or counterstim side 14 of the Housing 2 forth on the in the radial direction in relation to the insertion opening 3 having insertion end 15 recessed peripheral jacket 16 of the housing 2 can be pushed onto this and firmly connected to it or clippable.
  • An axial projection 17 engages as an anti-rotation device Insertion end 15 of the housing 2 in a corresponding counter recess 18 of the jacket 12 of the chip collection container 13 as an anti-rotation device.
  • the Axial projection 17 and the counter recess 18 engage in the manner of groove and Spring into each other. This makes the axial handle length for handling the sharpener 1 extended.
  • An ellipsoidal cross-sectional shape of housing 2 and chip holder 13 favor the grip of the sharpener 1 and allow the removal of the anti-rotation device 17, 18.
  • the peripheral shape of the chip collector 13 is flush with the peripheral shape of the insertion end 15 of the Spitzergeophuses 2.
  • the ellipsoidal cross-sectional shape creates particularly advantageous a sufficient space for a quiver-like insertion opening 19 for a cleaning stick 20, 20 ', 21 and 21' according to Figures 1 and 2, 3, 4 and 5 and 7 and 8a, 8b with a rod shaft 4.
  • the insertion opening 19 and one thereon subsequent holding channel 22 - and thus the plug and swivel axis of the Rod shaft 4 - run approximately parallel to the central longitudinal axis 23 of the pin 6, the housing 2 or the sharpener 1 and its chip collection container 13.
  • a pressure tongue 24 which in one recessed peripheral segment of the jacket 25 of the receiving channel 5 lies.
  • the pressure tongue 24 is with its end lying within the receiving channel 5 connected to the housing 2.
  • it is expediently in one piece with the Housing 2 molded from plastic. It is therefore radial to the central longitudinal axis 23 of the receiving channel 5 deflectable. This deflection is caused by a wedge-like Pressure cam 26, 26a on the rod shaft 4 of the cleaning rod 20, 20 'according to Figure 3 or 2 causes.
