Definitions

  • the invention relates to a writing instrument system which comprises a plurality of a pen shank and a pen cap having writing, painting or drawing pens.
  • a writing instrument system which comprises a plurality of a pen shank and a pen cap having writing, painting or drawing pens.
  • EP 0395797 A1 Known pin system includes a plurality of pins, on the cap cap laterally a clip is formed, with the aid of a pin on the pin shaft or the pin cap of another pin can be plugged. In this case, two or more pins can be connected to each other, wherein the pins are arranged parallel to each other and in a common plane.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a writing instrument system which is improved with respect to the arrangement of interconnected pins and also expandable to accessory devices, which can also be connected to each other and with the pins.
  • This object is achieved in that from the peripheral surface of the pin shaft and / or the peripheral surface of the pin cap a plurality of projections distributed over the entire circumference, which extend in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of the pin, that in each case two circumferentially adjacent projections for receiving a Flanking projection of another pin of the writing instrument system recess, and that a projection of another pin with a perpendicular to its central longitudinal axis extending joining direction can be inserted into the recess.
  • the pins can fix in virtually any rotational positions with respect to their central longitudinal axis releasably to each other, so a variety of structures, such as two or To form triplets. It is also possible to rotate two interconnected pins such as two intermeshing gears against each other about their central longitudinal axes. It is also particularly advantageous that the mating of the pins can take place at a perpendicular to their central axis extending joining direction, ie in a direction which differs from the axially extending direction, with he a pin cap on the pin shank and removed again. This results in e.g. the advantage that when joining two or more pins, the pen cap can not solve the pen shaft.
  • the proposed design also makes it possible to design a variety of different accessories such as pencil sharpeners, erasers, rulers with projections and / or recesses so that they can be attached to any circumferential positions and also longitudinal positions of pins or groups of pins. This results in more game variants and in particular the ability to assign a pen or a pen group a particular accessory device such as a sharpener or an eraser, for example, for storage or transport purposes.
  • projections are held with an effective opposite to the joining direction positive locking in the recesses - optionally in addition to a frictional connection.
  • projection and recess cooperate in the manner of a snap connection. This is achieved in particular in that the projections are divided into a front and a rear radial section, wherein the front radial section is widened relative to the rear radial section in the circumferential direction.
  • the projections in the recesses are rotatable about an axis extending parallel to the central longitudinal axis.
  • the result is that, when two pins rotate in opposite directions, a projection still remains within the recess for a certain time and is held therein until a projection following in the direction of rotation at least partially engages in a recess and is held therein, or at least this recess has already approximated.
  • the widened radial section acts like a pivot bearing, on the other hand, it acts as a positive locking element and the o.g. Forming fit between recess and projection or between pins.
  • the distance in the circumferential direction between two projections is smaller than the width of the projections measured in the circumferential direction.
  • adjacent projections of one pin engage behind the extended radial portion of the projection of another pin.
  • the mutual rotation is further facilitated by the fact that in the joining state between the projections and the surface of the recesses, a gap is present.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is also that in the production of pen cap and pen shank, especially in the injection molding process no particularly tight tolerances must be met, which would increase the cost of manufacturing.
  • a pen 1 which is part of a writing instrument system and which comprises a pen cap 5 and a pen shaft 4.
  • the pin cap 5 is attached to the radially narrowed front end V of the pin shaft 4, which carries an applicator element A, plugged.
  • From the peripheral surface of the pencil cap 5 there are a plurality of substantially rib-shaped projections 2 distributed over the entire circumference, which extend in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 8 of the pencil 1.
  • two circumferentially adjacent projections 21 2 each flank a recess 3 serving to receive a projection 2 of another pin of the writing instrument system.
  • the said elements preferably extend in a straight line. Due to the above-described embodiment, pin rows 4 and pin cap 5 are formed in the circumferential direction 21 extending rows of teeth 14, pin cap 5 or pin shaft 4 (without front end V) are thus formed as gears.
  • the shape of the projections 2 and the recesses 3 is chosen so that the projections 2 are inserted into the recesses 3, with a perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 8 of the pin 1 extending joining direction 9 (Fig. Fig. 2 and 4 ).
  • the projections 2 are held with a counter to the joining direction 9 positive fit in the recesses, in addition, a frictional engagement may be present.
  • the projections 2 interact with the recesses in the manner of a snap connection. They are divided into two sections, namely a front radial section 15 and a rear radial section 16, the latter being widened in the circumferential direction 21 with respect to the former.
  • the projections 2 are also arranged in such a grid that the distance 19 in the circumferential direction 21 between two projections 2 is less than the width 20 of the projections 2 measured in the circumferential direction 21.
  • a protrusion 2 in a recess 3 or its front radial section 15 leads through the double arrow 22 in Fig. 4 indicated relative rotational movement about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis 8 extending axis 23 from.
  • a projection 2 'following the rotary projection 2 in the circumferential direction is already in front of or already in engagement with the next recess 3', which facilitates the mutual rotation of two pins.
  • a facilitation of the rotational movement is also accomplished by the fact that in the joining state between the projections 2 and the surface of the recesses 3, a gap (24) is present.
  • the surface of the front radial section 15 of the projections 2 is rounded, for example circular, wherein the radial sections then form a circular cylinder section.
  • the wall portions of the recess 3, which surround the front radial portion 15 in the joined state, are also rounded, but so that between them and the
  • the outer diameter 25 of the pin cap 5 is larger than the diameter 16 of the pin shank 4, the latter corresponding approximately to the core diameter 27 of the pin cap 5.
  • the core diameter 27 corresponds to an imaginary circle which touches the recesses 3 at its lowest point S (see Fig. 6 ).
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example in which three pins 1 form a triad.
  • the design of the projections 2 and the recesses and their mutual interaction correspond to the above statements, but a mutual rotation of the pins 1 is not possible.
  • Fig. 7 is the pen shank 4, but not designed the pin cap gear-like.
  • the outer diameter 25a of the pin cap 5 is smaller here than the outer diameter 26a of the projections 2 and recesses 3 having pin shank 4.
  • Fig. 8 shows Fig. 8 , Pin cap 5 and pin shaft 4 here have the same outer diameter 28.
  • the accessory devices are provided with connector elements which can interact with the connector elements of pins 1 but with connector elements of accessory devices.
  • a protrusion 2a or a row of teeth 14 is present on an accessory device, which comprises at least two protrusions enclosing a recess 3 between them, so that accessories can be connected to a pin 1 and optionally to each other.

  • the projections 2 extend at right angles to the projections of the row of teeth 14b.
  • the clips 37 may be used to clamp a sheet, such as a sheet of paper.
  • a parallel to the projections 2 of the row of teeth 14c extending web-shaped stop 43 is formed. This prevents a fixed to a tether 33 staple 33 slip away under weight load and thereby can be detached from the tether 33.
