Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a pin; with a first sleeve, a second sleeve having a plug-in portion for insertion into the first sleeve, wherein the two sleeves are rotated in the inserted state against each other, an external thread member which is non-rotatably but axially displaceably coupled to the second sleeve and is designed to, with meshing with a rotatably coupled to the first sleeve female thread member, so that a rotation of the two sleeves against each other to an axial displacement of the Au- ⁇ engewindeelements with respect to the sleeves, and a mine, the corresponding axial displacement of the male member due to rotation of the two sleeves against each other from a sleeve opening is pushed out.
  • the known methods provide to carry out the female thread member integrally with the first sleeve. This is usually done in that the production of the first sleeve by injection molding using a mold with an internal thread member corresponding external thread. Therefore, the production is relatively complicated.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, by which it is possible in a simple way to provide the interior of the first sleeve with an internal thread member.
  • this object is achieved in that the second sleeve and the female thread member are inserted as interconnected parts in the first sleeve, wherein the connection of the second sleeve with the female thread member is such that it is released upon rotation of the sleeves against each other.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a method step can be saved if the internal thread element is introduced into the first sleeve in the already required step of inserting the second sleeve into the first sleeve. Since according to the invention, the connection between the second sleeve and the female thread member is weak enough to twist the two sleeves can be solved against each other, the still connected to each other for the purpose of introduction into the first sleeve parts, namely the second sleeve and the female thread element, after insertion into the first sleeve are separated from each other, indicating the operability of existing in the pin rotation mechanism is indispensable.
  • the insertion into the first sleeve preferably takes place at least until the internal thread element reaches a stop within the first sleeve. At this stop, the internal thread member can then be axially supported during the actual operation of the rotary mechanism and thus form an abutment to push out the mine through the sleeve opening.
  • the second sleeve and the female threaded member are preferably made as integral parts with a predetermined breaking point as a connection therebetween.
  • the internal thread element therefore represents a part molded onto the second sleeve.
  • the male thread member is inserted into the second sleeve with the still connected female thread member, wherein the female thread member is variable in its effective diameter and during insertion of the male thread member is in an operating condition in which it does not mesh with the male thread member.
  • the female thread member is variable in its effective diameter and during insertion of the male thread member is in an operating condition in which it does not mesh with the male thread member.
  • the mine is fastened to the external thread element. This results in the possibility not only push the mine out of the sleeve opening by turning the two sleeves against each other, but - by turning in the opposite direction - they also pull back through the sleeve opening.
  • the attachment of the mine to the external thread element is preferably carried out by means of casting.
  • casting By casting on the one hand, a particularly intimate connection between the external thread element and the mine can be achieved.
  • a process step is again saved. If the mine were not cast, it would have to be produced in a first step and fastened to the external thread element in a second step.
  • the casting of the lead on the male thread element is effected by the male thread element being attached to a casting mold and the lead material being introduced into the casting mold by means of a cannula inserted into a corresponding through hole in the male thread element.
  • the male threaded member with the lead attached thereto is within the second sleeve when the second sleeve is inserted into the first sleeve. This will achieved that the attachment of the mine can be done on the external thread member, without causing the first sleeve could be in the way. This achieves a further simplification of the production process.
  • the attached figures show a pin with a shaft 10 which is mated with a holding part 12, wherein a male portion 14 of the holding part 12 hineinerstreckt into the shaft 10.
  • the holding part 12 is rotatable against the shaft 10.
  • means, such as snap lugs or the like which hold the insertion portion 14 in the shaft 10.
  • a lead holder 16 is disposed within the support member 12 and the shaft 10. It carries an external thread 18. Further, it is provided with a guide member 20, whose function will be explained below.
  • a refill 22 is cast onto the refill holder 16, partially extending into the refill holder 16.
  • the mine 22 facing away from the end portion 24 of the holding part. 12 is connected in the state shown in Fig. 1 via a predetermined breaking point 26 with the rest of the holding part 12. He wears an internal thread 28 which is adapted to mesh with the external thread 18 of the lead holder 16.
  • a slot 32 is provided on the lug 24 and extends in the axial direction.
  • the holding part 12 is designed with the approach initially thereon 24 such that the separated by the slot 32 areas of the projection 24 are biased in the opening direction. The function of this bias in the opening direction will be explained below.
  • the projection 24 and the shank 10 have corresponding shoulders 34, 36 which limit the amount of insertion of the lug 24 into the shaft 10. Furthermore, the projection 24 and the shaft 10 have ribs, two of which are designated by way of example in FIG. 2 with the reference numerals 38 and 30, respectively. The ribs 38, 30 serve to prevent twisting of the projection 24 and the shaft 10 against each other.
  • the holding part 16 is equipped with a longitudinal channel 40.
  • the holding part 12 has an opening 42 at its minen medicalen end.
  • the opening 42 can be closed by means of a schooner (not shown in the drawing).
  • the pencil shown in the drawing is preferably produced according to the invention as follows:
  • the lead holder 16 is inserted from the opening 42 opposite side so far into the holding part 12 that the lead holder 16 with her the guide member 20 opposite end protrudes from the opening 42. In this state, it is attached to a casting mold 44 which has a cavity 46 corresponding to one of the refills to be cast.
  • This process step is shown in FIG. 3, wherein the elements 10, 16 and 20 are shown only schematically.
  • a cannula (not shown in the drawing) is inserted through the longitudinal opening 40 into the cavity 46, and the lead material is introduced into the cavity 46 through the cannula. After sufficient solidification of the lead material, the lead holder 16 is retracted with the molded-on mine 22 within the holding part 12.
  • the holding part 12 is plugged into the shaft 10 with the mine holder 16 inserted therein until the overall arrangement is in the state shown in FIG.
  • the outer diameter of the projection 24 is in the expanded state, ie when the slot 32 is opened, slightly larger As a result, the lug 24 is compressed upon insertion into the shaft 10, whereby the slot 32 closes. In this compressed state, the inner diameter of the lug 24 is such that it meshes with the thread 18 on the lead holder 16.
  • the lead holder 16 and the holding member 12 are rotationally coupled together.
  • the rotational coupling between the holding part 12 and the lead holder 16 is realized in the same way as the rotational coupling of the shaft 10 with the projection 24, ie by means of the ribs 38, 30 corresponding ribs.
  • ribs and non-rotationally symmetrical contours such as a polygon can be used to prevent rotation.
