Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sharpener, in particular for cosmetic softener pencils, with a conical sharpening channel and a sharpener blade, which is approximately tangential to the sharpener channel, which includes a clearance angle with the sharpener channel.
  • a similar sharpener is known from DE 1268019 A.
  • DE 91 04 844 U1 a pencil sharpener is known, wherein the cutting edge of the sharpener knife is designed according to a parabola which lies in a plane parallel to the tangential plane of a surface line of the conical sharpening channel for the pencil to be sharpened.
  • the production of such a knife with a parabolic blade is complicated, which is why such a pencil sharpener could not prevail on the market.
  • DE 1 511 454 A describes a mine sharpener with two at the same distance and height of a lead guide tube freely rotatably mounted, each scissor-like crossing plates, of which at least one plate has a cutting edge.
  • This pencil sharpener is a sharpener for the tip of a refill, for example a mechanical pencil, and not a sharpener for sharpening a pencil with a refill fixed in a sheath.
  • Cosmetic soft lead pencils typically have a relatively large diameter pasty refill and a sheath that protects the refill.
  • the jacket may be made of wood, but in recent times, the sheath is usually made of a suitable plastic material.
  • the sharpener knife is arranged such that it includes a constant clearance angle with the sharpener channel along the sharpener channel.
  • the clearance angles are the angle between the tangential plane of the conical sharpener channel tuned by the knife edge and the back surface of the sharpener blade.
  • a sharpener for sheathed pens with a soft refill i. a sharpener of the type mentioned above for cosmetic soft lead pencils is known, for example, from DE 1236 374 B.
  • the sharpener knife is arranged such that its knife edge with the longitudinal central axis of the conical sharpener channel - as seen in projection - is provided congruent, so that the clearance angle between the cutting blade and the sharpener channel along the sharpener channel is constant. This results in the above-mentioned undesirable chatter behavior.
  • the cutting knife with the Sirkanal along the Spitzerkan ales a constant clearance angle.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a sharpener of the type mentioned, in which in a simple manner during the sharpening process undesirable Ratter cutting behavior - especially with soft lead pencils with a plastic sheath - is avoided.
  • the soft pencil to be sharpened during the sharpening process is drawn to the tip end of the sharpener channel, so that unwanted chattering is reliably avoided.
  • the sharpener according to the invention consequently results in a smooth, smooth cutting behavior. This applies both to softwood pencils with a wooden sheathing and to softener pencils with a plastic sheathing.
  • a plastic sheath for example, in an extrusion process is comparatively easy to produce, and that a plastic sheath in comparison with a wood sheath also a smaller Has wall thickness, because no bonding of sheath halves, as is usual in a wood sheathing, is present.
  • the knife edge of the sharpening knife can be oriented parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the conical sharpening channel and directed laterally against the longitudinal center axis, as seen in projection. in pointed direction of rotation, to be moved forward.
  • Such an arrangement of the sharpening knife or its knife edge with respect to the conical sharpening channel ensures that the sharpener knife with the sharpening channel encloses a continuously increasing clearance angle towards the tapering front end of the sharpening channel.
  • the knife edge of the sharpening knife with the longitudinal center axis of the conical sharpener channel - seen in projection - a small acute angle widening towards the front end of the sharpener channel includes.
  • This small angle can be on the order of 2 to 5 °, for example 2.5 °.
  • the cutting blade may be arranged such that the knife edge intersects the longitudinal central axis of the conically tapered sharpener channel - seen in projection - at the beginning of the sharpener channel at a small acute angle.
  • the cutting blade is offset against the longitudinal central axis of the sharpener channel in the direction of rotation forwardly arranged such that the imaginary extension of the knife edge, the longitudinal central axis of the conically tapered sharpener channel - seen in projection - before the beginning of the sharpener channel under a small sharp angle intersects.
  • the sharpener knife with the sharpening channel includes a continuously increasing towards the tapered front end of the sharpener channel clearance angle.
  • a guide section of constant diameter abuts.
  • the diameter of the guide portion is in this case preferably adapted to the outer diameter of the sheath of the cosmetic pencil to be sharpened.
  • Such a guide portion of constant diameter for example, the sharpener according to the above-cited DE 1 236 374 B on.
  • a blade is preferably provided at the front end of the conical sharpener channel of the sharpener according to the invention. With the help of the blade diameter, it is possible to the pasty refill of the cosmetic pencil to be sharpened as desired to fan out, ie to round off, for example.
  • the sharpener according to the cited DE1 236 374 B, for example, is also formed with a Fassonmesser.
  • Embodiments of the sharpener according to the invention in comparison with known tips for cosmetic soft lead pencils are shown in the drawing and are described below, in each case only the conical sharpening channel and the sharpener knife are shown with its knife edge.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in a plan view and along three sections along the lines A-A, B-B and C-C, schematically a conical sharpener channel 10 and a sharpener blade 12 approximately tangential to the sharpener channel 10.
  • the sharpener blade 12 has a blade edge 14.
  • the knife edge 14 is arranged congruently to the longitudinal central axis 16 of the conical sharpener channel 10, as seen in projection, so that the knife edge 14 of the sharpener 12 with the sharpener channel 10 along the entire sharpener channel 10 includes a constant clearance angle 18.
  • the clearance angle 18 is the angle between the plane defined by the knife edge 14 tangential plane of the conical sharpener channel (10) and the back surface of the sharpening knife 12. This clearance angle 18 is, for example, the order of 2.5 °.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a second embodiment of a known sharpener with a conical sharpening channel 10 and a sharpening knife 12, the knife edge 14 with respect to the longitudinal center axis 16 of the conical sharpening channel 10 - seen in projection - from the front end 20 of the conical sharpener channel 10 to the rearwardly widening tips Includes angle 22.
  • the clearance angle 18 is, for example, on the order of 7 °, if the acute angle 22 between the projection of the knife edge 14 and the longitudinal central axis 16 is of the order of magnitude e.g. 2 °. A relatively large clearance angle 18 is desired in order to achieve a corresponding cutting behavior.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a third embodiment of a known sharpener with conical sharpening channel 10 and a sharpening knife 12 with a knife edge 14 whose projection with the longitudinal central axis 16 of the conical sharpening channel 10 in turn encloses an acute angle 22 corresponding to FIG.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 3 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 2 only in that the sharpener blade 12 does not have any narrow back surface 26 parallel to the knife edge 14, but that the back narrow surface 26 and the knife edge 14 together form an acute angle corresponding to the acute angle 22.
  • the clearance angle 18 constant along the conical sharpening channel 10 between the back surface of the sharpening blade 12 and the tangential surface of the conical sharpening channel 10 is, for example, on the order of 7 ° when the acute angle 22 is e.g. on the order of 2 °.
