Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for applying liquids, in particular a writing instrument, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a generic writing instrument in which the housing has a partition wall through which a capillary liquid conductor connects the liquid supply to the capillary writing tip.
- a buffer store is formed around the capillary liquid conductor, which temporarily holds liquid, which emerges from the liquid supply when the negative pressure in the liquid supply decreases, for example as a result of heating.
- the air supply to the liquid supply takes place through the capillaries of the capillary liquid conductor, which capillaries have the least capillarity.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device with a simplified structure for applying liquids, in particular a writing instrument, in which the need for a buffer store for temporarily holding liquid in the event of pressure fluctuations or temperature changes is eliminated.
- FIG. 1 shows a detailed view of the writing instrument of FIG. 1,
- Fig. 3 is a detailed view of a modified embodiment of the writing instrument according to Fig. 1 and
- FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of a further, modified embodiment of the writing instrument according to FIG. 1.
- a writing instrument has an overall cylindrical housing 2 which tapers conically at its front end and has a channel 4 which is completely filled with a capillary writing tip 6.
- the capillary writing tip 6 can be, for example, a wick or a prefabricated plastic molded part with continuous pores or capillaries.
- the capillaries of the capillary writing tip 6 have different capillarities due to their dimensions and / or due to different surface properties.
- the height of rise up to which the liquid used for the writing instrument rises into the respective capillary is defined as capillarities or capillary forces.
- the liquid supply 10 is delimited by a piston 12 which is tightly guided in the housing 2 and which borders on the one hand on the liquid supply 10 and on the other on the environment or the ambient pressure.
- the frictional force between the piston 12 and the housing 2 is greater than the weight of the liquid column which pulls on the piston 12 when the device is held down with the capillary writing tip 6, so that no liquid emerges from the writing tip 6.
- the device If the device is used for writing, liquid is sucked out of the liquid supply 10 through the writing tip 6 by forces acting between the writing tip 6 and a base to be written on. This creates a negative pressure ⁇ p in the liquid supply, as a result of which the piston 12 moves to the left in accordance with FIG. 1 and compensates for the decrease in volume of the liquid chamber 8.
- the size of the negative pressure ⁇ p which is necessary to move the piston 12 is such that this negative pressure is smaller than the capillary force of the capillary or pore of the writing tip 6 which has the least capillarity. If this were not the case, the negative pressure within the liquid chamber 8 would suck air into the liquid chamber 8 through the capillary with the least capillarity of the writing tip 6. Exactly this is to be avoided with the device according to the invention, however, so that the difficulties arising in known writing instruments in which the liquid storage space has to be ventilated are avoided.
- the force for moving the piston 12 is thus matched to the writing instrument in such a way that it is greater than the weight of the liquid column pulling on the piston 12 when the instrument is held vertically, but is smaller than the capillary force of the "weakest" capillary of the writing tip 6.
- FIG. 2 shows details of an advantageous embodiment of the device of FIG. 1, in particular the piston 12.
- the piston 12 is generally pot-shaped and has a cylinder wall region 14 and a bottom 16. At the front end of the cylinder wall area 14, a ring area 18 starting from a bead is formed, which is sealed on the inside of the housing 2. leads is. In the area of the bottom 16, another bead-shaped ring area 20 is formed, which is guided on the housing 2 and has grooves 21, via which an annular space 22 formed between the piston 12 and the housing 2 has a space 24 of the housing 2 acted upon by ambient pressure Back of the piston 12 is connected.
- the function of the piston 12 is as follows:
- this pressure difference ⁇ p is effective at the cylinder wall area 14, as a result of which the elastically designed cylinder wall area 14 deforms and the contact force between the ring area 18 and the inner wall of the housing 2 decreases. As a result of the decrease in contact force, the frictional force decreases.
- the piston 12 can move to the left as a result of the negative pressure ⁇ p, which also acts on the base 16. If the negative pressure decreases, the frictional force increases, which increases the holding force of the piston.
- the rear end of the housing 2 is closed with a plug 26 through which a helical, capillary air inlet duct 28 leads.
- the capillarity of the air inlet channel 28 is advantageously smaller than that of the capillary of the writing tip 6 which is designed with the least capillarity.
- Fig. 3 shows a modified embodiment of a piston and the application of ambient pressure to the piston rear.
- the piston 12 of FIG. 3 is like the piston of FIG. 2 also with a
- Cylinder wall region 14 and a rear floor 16 are formed.
- the piston 12 in FIG. 3 has a rigid front wall
- the sealing ring region 34 formed outside the front wall 30 is designed as a lip seal, the sealing lip pointing to the side facing away from the liquid supply.
- the annular region 36 which is formed in the rear region of the piston 12 and lies against the inner wall of the housing, serves to change the frictional force as a function of pressure.
- the ring region 36 in turn has grooves 21. via which the annular space 22 is connected to the rear of the piston 12.
- the function of the piston 12 according to FIG. 3 is as follows: If a vacuum ⁇ p arises in the liquid reservoir 10, the resiliently designed bottom 16 is deformed and the resiliently designed cylinder wall region 14 is deformed in such a way that the contact force between the ring region 36 and the housing inner wall decreases. whereby the frictional force of the piston 12 decreases overall and the piston can move to the left according to FIG. 3.
- the negative pressure in the liquid supply 10 ceases. increases the contact force of the annular region 36 on the housing inner wall, so that the holding force of the piston 12 is increased.
- the sealing force in the region 34 does not change or changes only insignificantly ( ⁇ p is effective on the sealing lip).
- the rear side of the piston 12 is not directly connected to the environment, but a bellows 40 is attached to a stopper 38, which closes the housing 2, via which a volume or Pressure equalization takes place.
- a passage 42 leads through the plug 38 into the interior of the bellows 40.
- Fig. 4 shows a further modified embodiment.
- the piston 12 is designed with an overall H-shaped cross section, a front ring region 44 in turn being sealingly guided on the housing 2 and a rear ring region 46 having grooves which vent the annular space 22.
- the ring areas 44 and 46 are at the end of bent conical areas of the Piston 12 formed, each pointing obliquely outwards.
- the normal function i.e. the decrease in the frictional force at negative pressure in the liquid supply 10 corresponds to that of FIG. 2; at negative pressure in the liquid supply 10, the frictional force of the ring area 44 decreases.
- the housing 2 is provided at its rear end with a rubber stopper 48 with a passage 42, the rubber stopper 48 being designed with an oversize, so that, for example, impacts occurring when the device falls down are reduced.
- the device according to the invention can be modified and / or supplemented in a variety of ways.
- the parts of the piston which are in engagement with one another and the inner wall of the housing can be provided with rough surfaces which increase the static friction, for example with surfaces which are provided with micro hairs which are approximately perpendicular to the direction of movement of the piston, in order to increase the static friction and the sliding friction in one to reduce even slight geometric deformation of the piston.
- the writing tip 6 can be replaced by other writing tips, including brushes, etc.
- the shape of the housing 2 can also be modified in a variety of ways. Likewise the Geometric design of the piston, the material stiffness being chosen so that the basic functions are retained.
- the piston is matched to the described requirements by selection of material and material thickness and, if appropriate, by coatings.
- the piston can consist of homogeneous plastic, fiber composite material or a material with an embedded metal membrane.
