Definitions
- the present invention relates to writing instruments. More particularly, the invention relates to a writing instrument comprising a body extending longitudinally along a central axis Z, an ink reservoir, a roller having an external writing surface, this roller being disposed at one of the ends of the body, connected to the ink tank, and rotatably mounted around a primary axis.
- This type of writing instrument is particularly suitable for highlighter pens, because of the width and the speed of tracing that it allows. It also allows to apply a pattern or a repeated decorative message.
- Document US-A-3 085 554 relates to a writing instrument of the type described above which comprises a cylindrical writing roller which, when the writing instrument is used, turns on itself around a perpendicular axis to the central axis of the body.
- the writing roller has hemispherical ends guided by rounded cavities which allow limited angular movement around the central axis of the body of the writing instrument, in order to obtain writing lines of different thicknesses .
- the thickness of the lines is dependent on the angle of retention of the body chosen by the user, the writing direction and the angle of the writing roller with respect to this direction.
- This instrument makes it possible to obtain a line of maximum thickness when the axis of the roller is perpendicular to the writing direction and parallel to the writing surface.
- the body of the instrument is inclined in a plane normal to the writing direction, for example when the user naturally inclines the pen towards the roll is no longer parallel to the sheet and only one end of the roll is in contact with the latter.
- roller writing instruments therefore generally do not provide great comfort in use, in particular when the user wishes to draw a horizontal writing strip of maximum width.
- the present invention aims in particular to overcome these drawbacks.
- a writing instrument of the kind in question is characterized in that the writing roller is pivotally mounted around a secondary axis perpendicular to the primary axis. Thanks to these provisions, the writing instrument can be used with a natural position and makes it possible to have a writing strip of maximum width, even if it is inclined.
- the secondary axis X of pivoting of the roller writing and the central axis Z are intersecting;
- - the primary axis Y is defined by a shaft which comprises, in its middle part, a spherical portion which forms with the writing roller a ball joint;
- - the diameter of the spherical portion is greater than the average diameter of the shaft;
- the writing roller is a hollow tube which has an inner diameter increasing towards its ends; the diameter of the spherical portion is substantially equal to the minimum diameter of the hollow tube of the writing roller;
- the body has two housings of elongated shape along the central axis Z, on either side of the shaft, the shaft being mounted in said housings and being capable of sliding therein in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis Z;
- - the shaft is rotatably mounted in the housings;
- the writing roller is connected to the ink tank by means of an ink pad
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the writing instrument according to the invention in a position perpendicular to the writing plane
- - Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, in which the writing instrument has rotated.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the writing instrument according to the invention. It comprises a body 10 extending along the central axis Z, of substantially cylindrical shape, one end of which narrows towards the writing roller 12.
- the body 10 comprises at the opposite end from that of the writing roller 12 an ink tank 14.
- an ink pad 16 is arranged, made of a porous material such as foam, which has sufficient permeability for flow ink.
- the writing roller 12 is rotatably mounted around a primary axis Y, perpendicular to the central axis Z.
- the writing roller 12 has a radial surface exterior of which at least part allows the ink to be deposited on the writing surface.
- the roller is a hollow cylindrical tube 18, the width of the outer surface 20 determines the maximum width of the writing strip. But the exterior surface could be more or less domed.
- the writing roller 12 is rotatably mounted around a shaft 22, located in the hollow tube 18 and which defines the primary axis of rotation Y when it is in the neutral position.
- the shaft 22 t is disposed at each end in a housing 24a, 24b of the body 10 of the writing instrument, and is free to rotate on itself.
- the shaft 22 comprises a spherical portion 26, the diameter of which is greater than that of the shaft 22, and slightly greater than or equal to the minimum diameter of the hollow tube 18.
- the spherical portion 26 is thus in contact with the internal part 28 of the wall of the writing roller 12.
- arms 30a, 30b forming the shaft 22. The arms extend flared, so that the diameter of the end of the arms 30a, 30b is less than that of the end fixed to the spherical portion 26.
- the arms have recesses 31 which limit the movements in translation along the primary axis Y of the shaft 22 , through the housings 24a and 24b.
- the spherical portion 26 and the arms 30a, 30b have come in one piece, or else are formed in different molds and then joined together.
- the writing roller 12 is pivotally mounted on the spherical portion 26 around a secondary axis X perpendicular to the primary axis Y and to the longitudinal axis Z between the neutral position and a pivoting position.
- the writing roller 12 forms with the spherical portion 26 a ball joint made possible by an imprint 33 produced in the internal part of the roller 12.
- This imprint 33 is complementary to the shape of the spherical portion 26, and allows easier rotation of the roller 12 around the shaft 22 along the secondary axis X and primary Y. Tel that the axes shown are all three intersecting at a point 32, which is the geometric center of the shaft 22 and of the roller 12. This central arrangement of the axis X allows positioning of the roller 12 parallel to the writing surface , as soon as one end of the roller comes into contact with it, without requiring elastic return means.
- FIG. 2 represents the writing instrument after pivoting of the body. The pivoting of the writing roller 12 around the secondary axis X is angularly limited by the arms 30a, 30b forming the shaft 22 and the internal part of the writing roller.
- the arms 30a, 30b are narrowed towards their ends, the greater the angle of rotation of the writing roller 12 around the secondary axis X.
- the inside diameter of the hollow tube 18 increases towards each end of the roller 12 so as to allow greater clearance of the authorized angular movement of the roller 12.
- This pivoting is angularly limited by the shaft 22 and the internal part 28 of the wall of the roller which both come into contact at one point, thus preventing greater pivoting of the roller 12 around the axis X.
- the shaft 22 and the roller 12 are connected by a simple ball joint connection, and can have rotational or pivoting movements independently of one another.
- the roller 12 In particular in the writing position, that is to say when the body 10 is inclined, the roller 12 is parallel to the writing plane, while the shaft 22 is inclined at an angle substantially identical to the angle of inclination of the body 10.
- the pivoting of the writing roller around the X axis could be obtained by the cooperation of an elastic link which would point out one end of the shaft 22 at the center of an elongated opening and a ball joint or pivot at the other end of the shaft.
