Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held device with a shaft, which has at least two shaft parts which can be releasably connected to one another via a plug-in coupling, each of which has a coupling unit at one end of the shaft parts, the hand-held device being designed as a writing or painting device unit and the releasably connectable shaft parts each have a writing or drawing tip on their ends facing away from the coupling unit.
  • Hand-held devices that have a shaft that has at least two shaft parts that can be releasably connected to one another via a plug-in coupling are already known in various designs.
  • the plug-in couplings customary in the known devices cannot always and in particular not be used with smaller devices, such as writing instruments.
  • Writing implements are already known which have writing tips which can be used in different ways on their opposite free ends.
  • the one writing tip provided on the end face can be designed as an erasing tip with which ink can be partially erased, whereas the other writing tip has an ink felt that is insoluble for the erasing tip and with which the text parts originally deleted can now be overwritten again.
  • a hand-held device of the type mentioned, which as a writing or Painting device is formed.
  • the previously known hand-held device has two shaft parts which can be releasably connected to one another by means of a plug-in coupling. At their end faces facing away from each other, these shaft parts each have a writing or drawing tip.
  • the plug-in coupling should also be light and space-saving in the case of smaller devices.
  • the coupling unit of the shaft parts each has a sliding piece which is immovably held in a guide hole of the associated shaft part which is open at the end and which projects over the guide hole with a sliding piece section.
  • the free end of the slider section is designed as a latching fork that has a latching opening between two fork arms, that the slider section carries a latching projection on the inside in the sliding direction behind the latching fork, that the coupling unit has a guide sleeve that envelops the slider and which is displaceably guided against the restoring force of a resilient or rubber-elastic restoring element in the guide hole, and that when the ends of two shaft parts having the coupling pieces are pressed against one another, the latching fork of the one coupling part on the turf projection of the other coupling part can be locked by pushing back at least one of the guide sleeves.
  • the hand-held device which is designed as a writing or painting device unit, has a shaft which has at least two shaft parts.
  • these shaft parts can be releasably connected to one another by means of a plug-in coupling, each of which has a coupling unit at one end of the shaft parts.
  • the coupling units of the shaft parts which are preferably of identical construction, each have a sliding piece which is held immovably in a guide hole of the associated shaft part which is open at the end.
  • the sliders of the clutch units protrude with a slider section over the guide hole.
  • the free end of the protruding slider section is designed as a locking fork which has a locking opening between two fork arms.
  • the coupling units each have a guide sleeve which envelops the slider and which is displaceably guided against the restoring force of a resilient or rubber-elastic restoring element in the guide hole.
  • each coupling unit is locked with the other coupling part, the shaft parts are held firmly together on their coupling units.
  • the firm hold of the shaft parts and their coupling units is further favored by the fact that the coupling units held against each other by the guide sleeves are encompassed, of which at least one guide sleeve is only pushed back so far that the coupling units can latch together.
  • one writing tip of the writing or painting device according to the invention can be designed, for example, as an ink eraser, while the other writing tip can be used with a writing ink which is insoluble with respect to the ink eraser.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the writing tips of the barrel parts have different colors or color combinations.
  • the writing tip of one shaft part as a fiber pen, while the color tips of other shaft parts are provided as drawing tips, and additionally or instead, the writing tip of at least one shaft part can have a smaller or greater writing thickness than the writing tips of other shaft parts.
  • At least one of the shaft parts can have an out-of-round cross section at least in some areas.
  • the guide hole has a round hole cross section.
  • a preferred development according to the invention which is characterized by a particularly firm hold of the coupling units which are latched to one another, provides that the slider section, at least in its partial region having the latching fork and the latching projection, bears with a complementarily rounded outer contour on the inner peripheral wall of the guide sleeve.
  • the two slider sections fill the interlocking coupling units of the plug-in coupling almost completely remove the clear sleeve cross section of the abutting guide sleeves of the shaft parts.
  • the sliding piece has a sliding surface that carries the locking projection, which is arranged approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the guide sleeve, and when the coupling surfaces of the coupling units are connected Slide the sliders along each other.
  • the pushing together of the slider sections encompassed by the guide sleeves is favored if the latching forks have a run-up slope or run-round curve on their inner end edge region adjacent to the sliding surface.
  • the handling of the plug coupling is made considerably easier if a guide web is provided behind the locking projection in the sliding direction and if the locking forks engage with the fork arms on both sides on the locking projection of the other coupling unit in the holding position of the plug coupling.
  • a smooth movement of the guide sleeve in the guide hole of the shaft part is favored and tilting of the guide sleeve when pushing back is avoided if the Guide sleeve and the slider of each coupling unit are slidably guided relative to each other.
  • each coupling unit is always pushed forward in such a way that the guide sleeve can envelop the protruding slider section
  • a compression spring is provided as a return element of each coupling unit, which is located between the guide sleeve, which is displaceably guided on the slider, on the one hand and on the other hand, a restoring element anchor, which can be fixed immovably in the interior of the associated shaft part, is clamped.
  • a preferred development according to the invention provides that the writing tips of the shaft parts which can be detachably connected to one another differ from one another by the writing color, the writing tip, its shape or the size determining the writing thickness, the type of writing instrument or any combination of at least two of these features.
  • one of the shaft parts of the releasably connectable shaft parts to have a writing tip designed as an ink quencher, while the writing tip of the other shaft part has a writing color that is resistant to the ink extinguisher.
  • a shaft part 1 of a hand-held device is shown.
  • This shaft part 1 is releasably connectable to another shaft part and is to be completed to form the shaft of the hand-held device.
  • the shaft parts 1 of the hand-held device can be detachably connected to one another via a plug-in coupling 2.
  • the plug-in coupling 2 has two coupling units 3, which can be detachably connected to one another and are preferably identical, each of which is provided on one of the front ends of the shaft parts 1.
  • Each coupling unit 3 has a slide 4, which is held immovably in a guide hole 5 of the associated shaft part 1, which is open at the end.
  • the slider 4 projects beyond the guide hole 5 of the associated shaft part 1 with a slider section 6.
  • the free end of the slider section 6 is designed as a locking fork which has a locking opening 9 between two fork arms 7, 8.
  • a locking projection 10 is provided on the inside of the slider section 6 in the sliding direction behind the locking fork.
  • the coupling units 3 provided on the shaft parts 1 each also have a guide sleeve 11 which envelops the protruding slide section 6 and which acts against the restoring force of a rubber or as here - a resilient return element 12 is slidably guided in the guide hole 5.
  • the locking fork of the first coupling unit 3 can be locked on the locking projection 10 of the other second coupling unit 3 by pushing back at least one guide sleeve 11, the locking fork of the second coupling unit 3 being simultaneously locked with the locking fork of the first coupling unit locked.
  • the locking forks and locking projections 10 of the plug-in coupling 2 which are locked together in this way are encompassed in a protective manner by the guide sleeves 11, which preferably completely completely surround the components of the plug-in coupling 2 on the circumference.
  • the guide holes 5 provided in the shaft parts 2 have a round hole cross section.
  • the shaft parts 1 themselves can have a round or non-circular outer cross section, at least in some areas. From the cross-sectional representation according to Figure 5 it becomes clear that the shaft parts 1 have, for example, an essentially triangular outer cross section.
  • the slider section 6 protruding beyond the shaft part 1 has at least in its partial area with the locking fork and the locking projection 10 a complementarily rounded outer contour bears against the inner circumferential wall of the guide sleeve 11.
  • the flat-side abutting slide sections 6 of the interconnected shaft parts 1 complement one another to form a substantially cylindrical outer contour.
  • Each slider 4 has a sliding surface 13 which carries the locking projection 10 and which is arranged approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the guide sleeve 11. Thus, when connecting the coupling units 3, the sliding surfaces 13 of their sliding pieces 4 can slide along one another.
  • the latching forks of the sliding pieces 4 each have a run-on slope or a run-on curve 14 on the inner end edge region of the free arm ends of their fork arms 7, 8 which adjoins the sliding surface 13. This rounding of the run-up allows the fork arms 7, 8 of the coupling units 3 to be connected to one another to slide well along.
  • a guide web 15 is provided in the sliding direction behind the locking projection 10 of each slide 4.
  • the locking projection 10 and the guide web 15 behind it have an arrow-shaped outer contour in plan view.
  • the locking forks engage in the holding position of the plug-in coupling 2 with their fork arms 7, 8 on both sides of the locking projection 10 of the other coupling unit 3.
  • the guide sleeve 11 and the slider 4 of each coupling unit 3 are displaceably guided relative to one another.
  • the restoring element 12 of each coupling unit 3 acting on each guide sleeve 11 is designed here as a compression spring which, on the one hand, between the guide sleeve 11 displaceably guided on the sliding piece 4 and a on the other hand, the restoring element anchor 16, which can be fixed immovably, is clamped in the interior of the associated shaft part 1.
  • the hand-held device is designed here, for example, as a writing instrument unit and that the shaft parts 1, which can be releasably connected to one another and are each designed as a writing instrument, each have a writing tip 17 on their ends facing away from the coupling unit 3.
  • These writing tips 17 can be protected by a writing device cap 18, which can also be attached and stored on the guide sleeve 11 of the assigned coupling unit 3 during use of the writing device.
  • the restoring force of the restoring element 12 is dimensioned such that the guide sleeve 11, when the writing instrument cap 18 is merely plugged in, over the guide hole 5 above position remains.
  • the writing tips of the releasably connectable shaft parts 1 can differ from one another, for example, by the writing color, the writing tip, its shape or the size determining the writing thickness, the type of writing instrument or any combination of these features.
  • Another exemplary embodiment according to the invention provides that of the shaft parts 1 which can be connected to one another detachably, one shaft part 1 carries a writing tip designed as an ink eraser, whereas the writing tip of the other shaft part has a writing color which is insoluble with respect to the ink eraser.
  • the writing tip of one shaft part 1 is designed as a fiber pen, while the writing tips of other shaft parts are provided as painting tips, and additionally or instead, the writing tip of at least one shaft part 1 can have a smaller or greater writing thickness than the writing tips of other shaft parts 1.
