Description

Les stylos ou autres objets à écrire dotés d'une plume et utilisant de l'encre liquide peuvent dans certaines conditions laisser échapper cette encre, par exemple lorsque le capuchon ne protège plus l'extrémité de la plume et que celle-ci entre en contact avec une matière absorbante (une poche de vêtement par exemple). Un écoulement d'encre peut alors se prolonger dans certaines situations jusqu'à épuisement du réservoir d'encre. Le but de la présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à éviter ces incidents.Pens or other writing objects with a nib and using ink liquid can in certain conditions let escape this ink, for example when the cap no longer protects the end of the pen and the latter comes into contact with absorbent material (a pocket of clothing per example). Ink flow may then continue in some situations until the ink tank runs out. The aim of the present invention relates to a device intended to avoid these incidents.

Suivant l'invention, le stylo ou autre objet à écrire comportant une plume présentant une fente longitudinale alimentée en encre par capillarité, est caractérisé en ce que cette fente comporte près de l'extrémité de la plume destinée à être en contact avec le papier, un orifice de section suffisante pour interrompre l'écoulement par capillarité de l'encre dans la fente, une lame étant placée en contact avec la surface de la plume de façon à pouvoir être déplacée entre une position dans laquelle, cette lame recouvre ledit orifice pour établir l'écoulement de l'encre et une position dans laquelle, la lame est dégagée de cette ouverture pour interrompre l'écoulement de l'encre.According to the invention, the pen or other writing object comprising a quill with a longitudinal slit supplied with ink by capillarity, is characterized in that this slit has near the end of the pen intended to be in contact with the paper, an orifice of sufficient section to interrupting the capillary flow of the ink into the slot, a blade being placed in contact with the pen surface so that it can be moved between a position in which this blade covers said orifice to establish the flow of ink and a position in which the blade is clear of this opening to stop the flow of ink.

Le dispositif selon l'invention consiste à utiliser les propriétés de tension de surface de l'encre pour interrompre l'écoulement dans la fente capillaire de l'extrémité de la plume en contact avec le papier. Une forme ou un orifice adapté est creusé dans la plume, dans le but de provoquer une rupture de la section du capillaire (formée par la fente de la plume) et donc d'arrêter l'écoulement de l'encre. Les dimensions de cette forme vont de 0,5 mm à 2 mm (indications non limitatives) et la distance entre la forme et le patin d'extrémité en contact avec le papier sont le plus faible possible afin d'obtenir l'arrêt de l'écriture le plus rapidement possible. Selon la géométrie de la plume, cette distance varie de 2 à 8 mm (indication non limitative). Cette forme devra être située dans une zone dégagée de tout contact non volontaire avec une pièce qui perturberait la rupture du capillaire, par exemple le support inférieur dans lequel se trouve l'amenée d'encre. Une pièce supplémentaire appelée pour la commodité : «pièce de continuité » est juxtaposée avec les deux parties de la plume pour rétablir la continuité du capillaire et donc l'écoulement de l'encre vers le patin d'écriture en contact avec le papier. La géométrie de cette pièce peut être réalisée sous la forme d'une bague, d'un patin, d'une lame ou tout autre forme nécessaire et suffisante pour assurer la continuité de l'écoulement. La surface en contact avec la forme creusée dans la plume peut présenter différents profils : sphérique, plane, incurvée, pyramidale ou autres.The device according to the invention consists in using the voltage properties of ink surface to stop flow in the capillary slot of the tip of the pen in contact with the paper. A suitable shape or orifice is dug into the pen, in order to cause a break in the section of the capillary (formed by the slit of the feather) and therefore to stop the flow of ink. The dimensions of this shape range from 0.5 mm to 2 mm (indications not limitative) and the distance between the shape and the end pad in contact with the paper are as low as possible in order to achieve the most writing stop quickly possible. Depending on the geometry of the pen, this distance varies from 2 to 8 mm (non-limiting indication). This shape should be located in an area free from any involuntary contact with a part which would disturb the rupture capillary, for example the lower support in which the supply is located ink. An additional room called for convenience: continuity ”is juxtaposed with the two parts of the pen to restore the continuity of the capillary and therefore the flow of ink towards the writing pad in contact with the paper. The geometry of this part can be produced under the shape of a ring, a skate, a blade or any other necessary shape and sufficient to ensure continuity of flow. The surface in contact with the shape dug in the pen can have different profiles: spherical, flat, curved, pyramidal or other.

Cette pièce de continuité est mise en mouvement par l'utilisateur pour interrompre l'écoulement de l'encre et / ou automatiquement lors de la fermeture du capuchon, ce qui assure une protection supplémentaire lors d'un retrait intempestif du capuchon dans un environnement absorbant ou non. La pièce de continuité peut se déplacer par rapport à la forme creusée dans la plume selon un mouvement rotatif, une translation ou un soulèvement par rapport à la plume.This continuity piece is set in motion by the user to stop ink flow and / or automatically when closing cap, which provides additional protection when removing nuisance of the cap in an absorbent environment or not. The piece of continuity can move relative to the shape dug in the pen according to a rotary movement, translation or lifting from the pen.

Cette pièce de continuité peut se situer dessous la plume si l'on ne veut pas modifier l'aspect extérieur de la plume du stylo, mais la position la plus facile à mettre en oeuvre mais non exclusive est un montage au-dessus car elle assure une protection efficace contre un contact accidentel avec la fente de la plume qui est une source potentielle de fuite importante de l'encre. L'encre résiduelle contenue dans la fente capillaire entre l'orifice de rupture et le patin d'écriture peut s'écouler, mais cette quantité étant négligeable en comparaison avec l'inconvénient précédemment cité.This piece of continuity can be located under the pen if you do not want change the external appearance of the pen nib, but the position easier to to implement but not exclusive is an assembly above because it ensures effective protection against accidental contact with the pen slot which is a potential source of significant ink leakage. Residual ink contained in the capillary slot between the rupture orifice and the writing pad can but this amount is negligible in comparison with the aforementioned drawback.

Toute utilisation de matériau modifiant les propriétés de tension de surface est envisageable pour le revêtement de la plume ou de la pièce de continuité.Any use of material modifying the surface tension properties is possible for coating the pen or the continuity piece.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaítront encore dans la description ci-après.Other features and advantages of the invention will appear further in the description below.

Aux dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatifs :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de profil de l'extrémité d'un stylo selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue du dessus de l'extrémité du stylo selon la figure 1.
In the appended drawings given by way of nonlimiting example:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the end of a pen according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the end of the pen according to FIG. 1.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un stylo comportant un corps 1 dont l'extrémité porte un support 4 portant une plume 3 présentant une fente longitudinale 6 alimentée en encre par capillarité. Figures 1 and 2 show a pen having a body 1 of which the end carries a support 4 carrying a feather 3 having a slot longitudinal 6 supplied with ink by capillary action.

Conformément à l'invention, la fente 6 comporte près de l'extrémité de la plume 3 destinée à être en contact avec le papier, un orifice 5 de section suffisante pour interrompre l'écoulement par capillarité de l'encre dans la fente 6.According to the invention, the slot 6 comprises near the end of the pen 3 intended to be in contact with the paper, an orifice 5 of section sufficient to interrupt the capillary flow of the ink into the slot 6.

Une lame 2 est placée en contact avec la surface de la plume 3 de façon à pouvoir être déplacée entre une position dans laquelle, cette lame 2 recouvre ledit orifice 5 pour établir l'écoulement de l'encre et une position dans laquelle, comme montré par les figures 1 et 2, la lame 2 est dégagée de cet orifice 5 pour interrompre l'écoulement de l'encre.A blade 2 is placed in contact with the surface of the pen 3 so as to be able to be moved between a position in which this blade 2 covers said orifice 5 to establish the flow of ink and a position in which, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the blade 2 is released from this orifice 5 for interrupt the flow of ink.

A titre d'exemple, les dimensions de l'orifice 5 peuvent être comprises entre 0,5 et 2 mm.For example, the dimensions of the orifice 5 can be between 0.5 and 2 mm.

La forme de l'orifice 5 peut être circulaire, ovale, carrée ou autre.The shape of the orifice 5 can be circular, oval, square or other.

Cet orifice 5 peut être disposé symétriquement par rapport à la fente 6 de la plume ou être décentré par rapport à cette fente 6.This orifice 5 can be arranged symmetrically with respect to the slot 6 of the pen or be off center with respect to this slot 6.

La distance comprise entre l'orifice 5 et l'extrémité de la plume 3 est la plus faible possible, par exemple 1 à 3 mm.The distance between the orifice 5 and the end of the pen 3 is the most low possible, for example 1 to 3 mm.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la lame 2 comporte une extrémité en contact avec la surface extérieure convexe de la plume 3. Cette extrémité de la lame 2 a une dimension au moins égale à celle de l'orifice 5 et de préférence supérieure comme montré par la figure 2.In the example shown, the blade 2 has one end in contact with the convex outer surface of the pen 3. This end of the blade 2 has a dimension at least equal to that of the orifice 5 and preferably greater as shown in figure 2.

De préférence, la lame 2 est mobile en translation entre la position représentée sur les figures et la position de recouvrement de l'orifice 5.Preferably, the blade 2 is movable in translation between the position shown in the figures and the covering position of the orifice 5.

En variante, la lame 2 est mobile de façon à pouvoir se soulever ou se déplacer en rotation par rapport à l'orifice 5.As a variant, the blade 2 is movable so as to be able to lift or be move in rotation relative to the orifice 5.

Comme montré sur les figures 1 et 2, la lame 2 comporte un moyen de préhension 7 permettant à l'utilisateur de la déplacer entre lesdites positions de dégagement et de recouvrement de l'orifice 5.As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the blade 2 has a means of gripping 7 allowing the user to move it between said positions of opening and covering the hole 5.

La lame 2 est fixée à une partie du stylo à l'aide de moyens appropriés permettant son déplacement entre lesdites positions.Blade 2 is attached to part of the pen using appropriate means allowing its movement between said positions.

Selon une réalisation préférée de l'invention, la lame 2 comporte des moyens aptes à coopérer avec le capuchon du stylo de telle sorte que la mise en place du capuchon sur le stylo provoque automatiquement le déplacement de la lame 2 vers la position de recouvrement de l'orifice 5 et que le retrait du capuchon provoque le déplacement de la lame 2 vers la position de dégagement de l'orifice 5.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the blade 2 comprises means able to cooperate with the cap of the pen so that the placement of the cap on the pen automatically causes the blade to move 2 towards the covering position of the orifice 5 and that the removal of the cap causes the blade 2 to move towards the opening position 5.

La lame 2 peut recevoir un matériau (matière plastique ou métallique) modifiant les propriétés de tension de surface et donc le comportement de l'encre à sa surface tel que la capillarité et l'écoulement de l'encre se trouve modifié dans le but d'améliorer le fonctionnement du dispositif d'interruption.The blade 2 can receive a material (plastic or metallic material) modifying the surface tension properties and therefore the behavior of the ink on its surface such that the capillarity and the flow of the ink is modified in the purpose of improving the operation of the interrupt device.

En variante, la plume 3 peut recevoir un matériau (matière plastique ou métallique) modifiant les propriétés de tension de surface et donc le comportement de l'encre à sa surface tel que la capillarité et l'écoulement de l'encre différents permettent ainsi de réduire les dimensions de l'orifice d'arrêt de la fente capillaire et de diminuer la quantité d'encre résiduelle s'écoulant après arrêt.As a variant, the pen 3 can receive a material (plastic material or metallic) modifying the surface tension properties and therefore the behavior of the ink on its surface such as capillarity and flow of the different ink thus makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of the stop orifice of the hair slit and decrease the amount of residual ink flowing after stop.

Selon une autre version, le matériau (matière plastique ou métallique) modifiant les propriétés de tension de surface et donc le comportement de l'encre à sa surface, modifiant la capillarité et l'écoulement de l'encre, est appliqué à la plume 3 et à ladite lame 2. Par ailleurs, la plume et ladite lame peuvent recevoir des matériaux (matière plastique ou métallique) modifiant les propriétés de tension de surface différents et adaptés d'une part à l'amélioration du fonctionnement du dispositif d'interruption et d'autre part à la réduction des dimensions de l'orifice d'arrêt du capillaire et permettant de diminuer la quantité d'encre résiduelle s'écoulant après arrêt.According to another version, the material (plastic or metallic material) modifying the surface tension properties and therefore the behavior of the ink on its surface, modifying the capillarity and the flow of the ink, is applied to the pen 3 and to said blade 2. Furthermore, the pen and said blade can receive materials (plastic or metallic) modifying the tensile properties different surface areas and adapted on the one hand to improving the functioning of the interruption device and secondly to the reduction of the dimensions of the orifice stop the capillary and reduce the amount of residual ink flowing after shutdown.
