Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sharpener, especially for soft lead pencils, with a sharpener housing that is tangential to a sharpener channel Sharp knife carries as well as a side below its cutting edge provided and on the underside of the housing and / or on the top of the housing has open space, into which the Spitzerkanal opens and into the Mine former for fitting a mine tip is insertable.
  • a e.g. Spitzer known from EP 0 827 844 A1 usually has one Plastic injection molded one-piece housing in the direction of insertion conically narrowing guide channel for the front end of the to be pointed Pen on.
  • the sharpener housing also has a free space in which a guide channel, which receives the pen or lead tip, in turn opens onto the latter a sharpener held on the sharpener housing is tangentially attached.
  • Such a sharpener in addition to the sharpener knife in the effective range of the sharpener, which can be inserted as a mine former, can be the pencil or The tip of a lead inserted into the pointed channel, optionally relative sharp and pointed or rounded.
  • the sharp knife takes over when peaking, i.e. when turning the one guided in the guide or pointed channel
  • the shape of the pin cone and, if necessary, the shape of the pin cone Peel the pen material surrounding it.
  • Such sharpeners are usually used so-called soft or soft lead pencils, especially cosmetic pencils, pointed and additionally shaped at the tip of the mine. Both in a peelable material, e.g. Wood or plastic, framed as also pure soft leads, such as those used primarily as make-up or cosmetic pencils are known to be sharpened.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a sharpener of the aforementioned Form in such a way that with simple cleaning and Removing the sticky soft lead mass simply inserting the lead former into the free space of the sharpener while avoiding damage the mine former is made possible.
  • the mine former is by means of a supporting and on Sharper housing fixable carrier plate preferably from the bottom of the housing can be brought here into the free space.
  • the carrier plate is preferably container-like trained or molded. For this purpose, it has an at least partially closed one Container wall on.
  • the carrier plate holding the lead former can be on the underside of the housing or The top of the housing of the sharpener inserted or in this created and for example by means of locking hooks or similar positive locking elements be releasably connected to the sharpener housing.
  • the carrier plate as a sliding base plate is expediently that of in back of the housing opening facing away from the pointed channel of the pointed housing in the area of the clearance so that the out lead formers protruding from the carrier plate through the recess in the free space can be introduced.
  • the carrier plate is on the pointed housing pivotally held, which is preferably done via a film hinge is connected to the support plate.
  • the film hinge is then expedient to the rear wall of the pointed body, which delimits the free space on the back or housing, preferably in the area of the lower edge of the housing.
  • the carrier plate advantageously has a circumferential side wall on, with the film hinge corresponding to the one with the rear wall the corresponding side wall of the pointed housing is formed.
  • the Carrier plate with the side walls thus forms a half-shell.
  • the peripheral side wall in turn the outer dimensions of the top of the housing of the pointed case adjusted in this way is that the chip collector has the tip case on the top of the case in turn engages positively.
  • the mine former can be operated using of the chip holder then effective as the carrier plate, also from the top of the housing brought into the free space, preferably swung in again, become.
  • this is in turn preferred cup-shaped carrier plate over a film hinge with the also Span-shaped chip holder connected.
  • the film hinge again on the side walls facing the mine former Carrier plate molded on the one hand and the chip collector on the other.
  • an integral chip catch housing made up of two housing halves formed, into which the sharpener housing can be inserted by placing it on the carrier plate is and can be closed at the top by means of the chip collection container.
  • the bowl-shaped chip collection container can be placed on the top of the housing of the sharpener housing are placed so that the sharpener housing on this is kept captive.
  • the carrier plate can then be used to form the lead from the housing underside of the sharpener housing pivoted against it and be attached to it while the mine former is in the free space of the Penetrator housing penetrates.
  • the carrier plate closes the underside of the housing of the open top housing preferably completely, at least however in the area of free space.
  • the carrier plate and / or the chip collection container preferably consist of a see-through, i.e. translucent plastic. This means that on both sides closed by means of the carrier plate on the one hand and the chip collector on the other or covered tip housing the chip level from the outside visible, so that the chip trap housing can be emptied before Chip jam may occur in the area of the knife or the mine former.
  • the lead former protruding from the carrier plate is on its scraper rib or edge facing away from the back to form a guide or Holding edge rounded such that when the lead former is swung in the free space positions the carrier plate in a first position or clamping position is. In this position, the carrier plate is already held on the sharpener housing, while the mine former is still inactive. In this position Scraper rib or scraping edge of the mine former not yet in the effective range of the pointed channel continued into the open space. If the carrier plate is then in Swiveled towards the sharpener knife and with the sharpener housing Joined captive, the mine former is in its effective end position. At the Turning a soft lead or cosmetic stick inserted into the sharpener channel the tip of the mine is then rounded off as intended by guided along the scraper rib of the mine former and shaped by machining becomes.
  • the mine former itself is formed by a wedge-shaped scraping contour, which in a support projection or a support surface is attached.
  • the support surface is on at least one protruding from the carrier plate in the direction of the pointed knife Shaped support flank and runs transverse to this.
  • Preferably two opposing support flanks are provided, which over the Support surface are web-like interconnected.
  • the sharpener 1 shown in the figures has a sharpener housing or a Pointed body 2, which or preferably made of plastic by injection molding is made.
