Definitions

  • the invention relates to a writing instrument according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a writing instrument is known from EP 0 402 588 A.
  • the prior art writing instrument includes a housing, designed as an extension of the housing handle and a control unit with a first switching curve, by means of which the writing mine in the first position for writing out and further movable into the second pushed back position into the housing.
  • the control unit further includes a cooperating with the pusher second switching curve. To push the writing lead out of the housing in the second position, the pusher is to pull out of the case to the rear, this "pulling movement" for moving the writing lead forward in the writing position difficult handling, especially since this movement of the desired forward movement of the write mine from the Housing is directed forward.
  • the writing lead In the writing position, the writing lead is secured against being pressed into the housing by means of the bolt, which engages in a rearwardly directed part of the first curve.
  • To shorten the writing instrument and to move the writing lead in the second retracted position is on the pusher, namely against the said "Pulling movement", pressed towards the case.
  • the pusher In the pushed-together short position no determination of the pusher with respect to the housing, so that, for example, when removing the writing instrument from a holder, the pusher is unintentionally pulled backwards and this the write mine is pushed forward out of the housing.
  • the handling of the writing instrument is difficult insofar as to adjust the writing position a user must hold the housing with one hand in order to be able to pull the pusher back out of the housing with the second hand.
  • the rear housing part including a pusher with the front housing part is coupled via a geared connection with racks and an engaging gear.
  • the pusher with the rear housing part is pulled out of the front housing part.
  • US Pat. No. 2,627,843 A discloses a writing instrument whose housing consists of two telescopically telescoping parts.
  • a writing lead In the front part of a writing lead is arranged, which is axially displaceable by means of a control unit, that protrudes in a first position, the lead tip for writing from the front part and in a second position, the lead tip is pushed back into the front part.
  • the control unit includes an axially displaceable and partially rotatably arranged first sleeve into which the writing lead is clamped and from which the writing lead can be removed if necessary after removal of a housing tip.
  • the housing rear part contains on the inside a further sleeve with an axial slot in which engages a projection provided at the rear end of the front part. Furthermore, the further sleeve of the rear part contains an axially inwardly directed further projection which engages in a long second spiral groove of the control sleeve of the front part.
  • the first sleeve engaging projection of rotatably arranged in the rear part further sleeve, the first sleeve rotated accordingly, wherein in cooperation with the front short spiral groove, the first sleeve pushed axially backwards and thus the lead tip is retracted into the housing in the second position.
  • the two housing parts are telescoped into each other and the housing has a total of a short overall length.
  • the housing front part and the housing rear part are axially pulled apart, wherein the above-described functions take place in opposite directions and the first sleeve including writing lead axially displaced forward and the lead tip the housing is pushed to the first position or writing position.
  • the writing instrument After complete pulling apart of the two housing parts, the writing instrument has its maximum length.
  • the handling of the writing instrument is difficult insofar as to set the writing position, the two housing parts are to be pulled apart with both hands and to adjust the second position with an opposite movement, the two housing parts are to slide into each other. Furthermore, there is no mutual locking of the two housing parts either in the writing position or in the second position. By unintentional relative movements of the two housing parts can thus be impaired on the one hand, the proper letter or on the other hand, the lead tip are moved out of the second position, whereby the risk of soiling of garments or the like is given by the writing means.
  • the invention has the object, the writing instrument with little design effort to further develop that handling is improved.
  • the writing lead With a one-time handle the writing lead should be put into function or in the writing position and the writing instrument itself be extended.
  • the writing instrument should be operated in the usual way with one hand and be extended in particular to the size suitable for writing with the same movement as for shortening and retracting the writing lead in the rest position. Furthermore, a reliable specification of the two positions of the writing mine should be ensured and undesired operations should be avoided with high reliability.
  • the writing instrument according to the invention is characterized by a functionally reliable construction and easy handling, wherein the actuation and specification of the two positions takes place exclusively by pressure movement.
  • the writing instrument includes a controllable by a pusher control unit, by means of which the writing lead is selectively brought into the writing position or in the retracted position, wherein synchronously with the respective operation, the extension of the writing instrument for the size suitable for writing or the shortening of the writing instrument for stowing or Storage is performed. It is thus created a small writing instrument, which is suitable for storage and storage in small containers, bags, especially trouser pockets, notepads, small pocket calendars, small-sized scheduler or the like.
  • the control unit includes a curve part with two preferably successively arranged switching curves, that by means of the first switching curve, the writing lead can be brought into the writing position or the retracted position and the second switching curve, extending as an extension pusher extends from the housing or moves back to the short position.
  • the first switching curve for the writing lead is designed in a preferred manner and in particular as a heart curve, that in the two possible positions a functionally reliable locking of the writing lead is guaranteed.
  • the switching curve for the pusher is preferably designed as an unlocking cam, wherein the pusher, starting from the locked position with shortened writing instrument after unlocking, in particular extended under the action of a spring force in the extended position.
  • the cam member is rotatably and axially slidably disposed in the housing and can prevent depending on the position the retraction of the pusher or release this and unlock.
  • Fig. 1 shows an axial section through the writing instrument with a housing 2, wherein a writing lead 4 assumes the first position or writing position in which a tip 6 of the writing lead 4 is pushed out of the front end of the housing 2 for writing.
  • a pusher 8 is provided, which is moved out of the housing 2 in this position at the rear end and forms an extension of the housing.
  • the lead tip 6 is guided in a telescopic element 10, which protrudes partially in the illustrated writing position from the front end of the housing 2.
  • the housing 2 contains an upper part 16, which is designed in particular as a substantially cylindrical sleeve, preferably made of metal, and a threaded sleeve 18 at the front end thereof, a fixed and, if necessary, detachable connection, in particular by means of interlocking threads 20, 21 being provided.
  • the threaded sleeve 18 is surrounded on the outside by a cap 22 provided at the front end with an opening.
  • a switching sleeve 24 is arranged in the interior of the housing 2 and the upper part 16.
  • the switching sleeve 24 is annular and fixed in the housing 2 and secured in particular in the axial direction.
  • a latching connection is preferably provided, which advantageously has a radially inwardly directed projection 26 of the upper part 16.
  • This projection 26 is advantageously annular and engages in an associated recess 28 of the switching sleeve 24, wherein this recess 28 is expediently also annular.
  • this connection can have a radially outwardly directed projection of the switching sleeve, while the housing 2 or the upper part 16 has a corresponding recess.
  • an element 30 is connected to the housing 2, which projects beyond the outer surface of the upper part 16 and advantageous as roll protection of the writing instrument is used.
  • the shift sleeve 24 includes a directed towards the rear end extension 32 with locking means 34 for connection with corresponding locking means of said element 30, wherein the locking means pass through an opening of the housing upper part 16 inwardly.
  • the axially secured in the housing 2 and against rotation switching sleeve 24 is just like a cam member 36 part of the aforementioned control unit.
  • the cam member 36 is formed as a sleeve and includes a front cavity 38 and a rear cavity 40, which are separated by a partition 42.
  • the write lead 4 is arranged, while in the rear cavity 38 at least partially acting on the pusher 8 compression spring 44 is provided.
  • the writing lead 4 is supported on its rear end or a stopper arranged there at the front of the intermediate wall 42.
  • the curve part 36 has on its outer surface a first switching curve 46, which is designed in particular as a heart curve.
  • the switching sleeve 24 cooperates via a coupling element 48 with the switching cam 46.
  • the cam member 36 is axially movable in the housing 2 and further rotatably arranged. By axial actuation of the pusher 8, and always in the same pressure direction according to arrow 50, the writing lead 4 is selectively in the first writing position or in the second, retracted by means of the control unit in the interaction of the fixed housing 2 in the switching sleeve 24 and the movable cam member 36 Rest position moves.
  • a geared connection can be provided, which moves out after pressing the pusher on the one hand, the lead tip from the front end and on the other hand, the pusher from the rear end of the housing.
  • locking elements are further provided, by means of which the pusher is secured in the extended position with respect to the housing.
