Definitions
- the invention relates to a manual device equipped with a locking device in translation of one part relative to another depending on the relative position of the two parts considered in the direction of gravity.
- a manual device can be a writing instrument, but not only.
- An embodiment relates to a manual device, in particular, but not only, a writing instrument, comprising a first part and a second part, the second part being at least partly fitted into the first part while being mobile in translation in an axial direction relative to the first part (and vice versa), the first part having a first distal end while the second part has a second distal end opposite the first end distal in the axial direction, and a blocking device configured to lock the translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion (and vice versa) only when, viewed in the direction of gravity, the first distal end is disposed above the second distal end, the blocking device comprising a chamber and a ball or equivalent housed in the chamber, the chamber being formed only in the second part.
- the second part is fitted in all or part in the first part.
- the direction of fitting corresponds to the axial direction.
- each part may be formed of one and the same piece, or of several pieces assembled together. Subsequently and unless otherwise indicated, by "displacement / translation / sliding of the first part relative to the second part", obviously means the displacement / translation / relative sliding of the first part relative to the second part and vice versa (ie the relative displacement / translation / sliding of the second part with respect to the first part).
- direction of gravity is meant of course the direction of the Newtonian gravitational acceleration created by the Earth or, more generally, by the body or star on which the manual device is used.
- ball or equivalent any solid element of any shape, movable in the chamber, and able to move in the chamber under the effect of gravity relative to the walls defining the cavity of the chamber. Subsequently, and unless otherwise indicated, “ball” means “ball or equivalent”. Of course, the shape of the chamber is any, and can be simple or complex.
- the locking device allows the relative translation. in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion while when the first distal end is above the second distal end, the locking device blocks the relative translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second part.
- the relative position "above” or “below” of the first and second distal ends is considered in the direction of gravity.
- the locking device is a gravity locking device.
- the blocking device blocks, automatically and solely through the effects of gravity, the translation in the axial direction of the first part relative to the second part while in a second state where , considered in the direction of gravity, the first distal end is disposed below the second distal end, the locking device allows, automatically and only through the effects of gravity, the translation in the axial direction of the first part compared to the second part.
- the manual device has a first configuration where the first part can be moved in the axial direction relative to the second part, for example, but not necessarily, to actuate any mechanism, for example a mechanism to make to enter / exit a head from a distal end of the first distal end and the second distal end.
- the first distal end is below the second distal end.
- the manual device also has a second configuration where the first part can not be moved in the axial direction relative to the second part by means of the blocking device, for example, but not necessarily, to block said mechanism to bring in / out the head. In this second configuration, the first distal end is above the second distal end.
- the blocking operated by the locking device can be a strict blocking without axial play between the first and second parts, a locking with axial play between the first part and the second part, or a limitation of the relative axial stroke between the first part and the second part (ie a blockage with a relatively large game).
- the chamber is formed by walls belonging only to the second part and / or elements mounted on the second part.
- the ball within the cavity of the chamber does not cooperate with the first part, at least not directly.
- the ball of the locking device cooperates with at least one wall of the chamber so as to block the relative movements in translation in the axial direction between the first part and the second part while in the first configuration the ball does not cooperate with the at least one wall of the chamber so as to block the relative movements in translation in the axial direction between the first part and the second part (ie the ball allow the relative movements in translation in the axial direction between the first part and the second part).
- the ball in the first configuration the ball is in a so-called free position (ie position where the locking device leaves the first part free in axial translation relative to the second part) while in the second configuration, the ball is in a so-called locking position (ie position where the blocking device blocks the first portion in axial translation with respect to the second part).
- the blocking is performed in the second configuration independently the configuration of any other element / mechanism possible of the manual device.
- the manual device has a mechanism for exiting / retracting a head from a distal end of the first and second distal ends
- the blocking device blocks translation of the first part relative to the second part. that is the position of said head, that is to say that the head is in the retracted position or in the extended position (and this, of course, only when the first distal end is above the second distal end).
- the head is formed by any manual device tool tip, for example a key bit, screwdriver, a blade, a punch, a writing body (felt tip, ball or other, graphite lead, chalk or any means of writing on a substrate), a brush, an eraser, a friction body, a capacitive screen pad, a cosmetic applicator (brush, pencil, mascara brush, ball applicator , lipstick or any means of applying cosmetics), etc.
- a manual device tool tip for example a key bit, screwdriver, a blade, a punch, a writing body (felt tip, ball or other, graphite lead, chalk or any means of writing on a substrate), a brush, an eraser, a friction body, a capacitive screen pad, a cosmetic applicator (brush, pencil, mascara brush, ball applicator , lipstick or any means of applying cosmetics), etc.
- a manual device tool tip for example a key bit, screwdriver, a blade, a punch, a writing body (felt tip
- the locking device it is possible to avoid handling / activate (eg enter / exit) a first head of the manual device when using a second opposite head in the axial direction of the manual device to the first head (the activation of the first head being of course performed by relative translation in the axial direction of a first portion relative to a second portion). Furthermore, the structure of the locking device has the advantage of being compact, in particular thanks to the chamber formed in the second part which is fitted in the first part, which reduces the overall bulk of the manual device, thanks to which the manual device can have adaptable dimensions to the hands of the majority of users.
- a wall of the chamber forms a movable latch between a first position and a second position, the ball allowing the latch to come into the first position, when considered in the direction of gravity, the first distal end is disposed below the second distal end while the ball brings and locks the latch in the second position when, viewed in the direction of gravity, the first distal end is disposed above the second distal end .
- a wall forms the movable latch between the first position and the second position.
- Such a system allows a reliable locking and unlocking and robust, and does not affect or little overall size of the manual device.
- the latch in the first position allows the translation in the axial direction of the first part relative to the second (and conversely) part while in the second position the latch blocks the translation in the direction axial part of the first part with respect to the second part (and vice versa).
- the latch in the second position the latch cooperates with the first part so as to block the translation in the axial direction of the first part relative to the second part while in the first position the latch does not cooperate with the first part so as to block the translation in the axial direction of the first part relative to the second part.
- the latch releases the first part relative to the second part (and vice versa).
- the latch has a locking projection, said locking projection being engaged with a shoulder the first portion in the second position, whereby the translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second part is blocked.
- the projection in the first position the projection is not engaged with the shoulder while in the second position the projection is engaged with the shoulder.
- the projection in the second position, being engaged with the shoulder, the projection cooperates in abutment in the axial direction with the shoulder, and blocks the translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion.
- the first portion and the second portion can move in the axial direction relative to each other.
- the locking projection and / or the shoulder has a bevelled portion configured to disengage the latch from the shoulder when the second portion is pushed in an axial direction relative to the shoulder. first part and that, considered in the direction of gravity, the first distal end is disposed below the second distal end, whereby the latch is brought to the first position
- the latch does not necessarily return alone in the first position. In this configuration, the ball simply releases the latch and let it go back to the first position.
- the latch may also be in the second position, but it is not locked in the second position.
- the beveled portion allows to clear the projection of the shoulder by sliding cooperation of the surfaces in contact, whereby the latch is brought to the first position.
- the ball locks the latch in the second position, so that even if the second part is moved relative to the first part in the first axial direction (or if the first part is moved into the second part axial direction relative to the second part) the latch remains in the second position.
- Such a structure allows a reliable locking and unlocking and robust, and does not impact or little overall size of the manual device.
- the ball or equivalent is metallic.
- a metal ball has a certain inertia, which improves its retention in the locking position.
- the first distal end is equipped with a first head while the second distal end is equipped with a second head.
- Such a manual device equipped with the ball lock device is particularly well suited to instruments with two heads.
- the first head is retractable through a retraction mechanism, the retraction mechanism comprising a side button coupled to the second part.
- a side button is a button which projects in a direction transverse to the axial direction, and which is placed laterally, with respect to the first and second distal ends.
- the manual device equipped with the ball lock device is particularly well suited for instruments with mechanisms of retraction / advance of a head with side button. This allows for example to block the activation of the mechanism when the first distal end is above the second distal end, but to be able to activate the mechanism, by the side button and / or, if necessary via the second distal end, when the first distal end is below the second distal end.
- the locking device when the retraction mechanism is in a state where the first head is output, is configured to allow the relative movement of the first part relative to the second part in the direction that that is the relative position of the first end distal to the second distal end, considered in the direction of gravity.
- the locking device when the retraction mechanism is in a state where the first head is output, the locking device can not block the relative displacement in the axial direction between the first part and the second part. This allows greater flexibility of use of the first head. Moreover, in the case where the manual device is configured so that the second head is retracted when the first head is output, and conversely, this allows to block the relative movement of the two parts only if the second head is output, and therefore usable. In the opposite case, it is unnecessary to block the movement since the second head is retracted, and therefore unusable, even if the first distal end is disposed above the second distal end (considered in the direction of gravity).
- the manual device forms a writing instrument extending in the axial direction.
- the first distal end and / or the second distal end is equipped with a writing tip, for example a retractable tip or a fixed tip, for example a mine of mechanical pencil, a graphite mine, a ball point, felt tip, etc.
- a writing tip for example a retractable tip or a fixed tip, for example a mine of mechanical pencil, a graphite mine, a ball point, felt tip, etc.
- the first head and / or the second head is / are a writing tip.
- Such a manual device equipped with the ball lock device is particularly well suited to writing instruments.
- the first head is a writing tip while the second head is a rubber, a friction body or a pad for capacitive screen.
- a friction body is a body configured to be rubbed on a surface, for example to generate heat and change color a thermochromic ink, that is to say an ink that changes color. color depending on the heat to which it is subjected.
- a pad for capacitive screen is a termination configured to interact with a capacitive screen.
- the pad is conductive (thanks to its manufacturing material, or thanks to a coating).
- the shape, the flexibility / rigidity and the material / materials of a pad are not limited insofar as this pad is capable of interacting with a capacitive screen, that is to say that its contact with a capacitive screen is detectable by the latter.
- the manual device equipped with the ball lock device is particularly well suited for writing instruments with such combinations of heads.
- the first head is a mine carried by a mine advance mechanism (ie mine and mechanical pencil mechanism), the mine advance mechanism comprising a lateral button coupled to the second part

- FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the manual device of FIG. 1, the first distal end being considered according to FIG. the direction of gravity, below the second distal end while the latch is in the second position,
- FIG. 4 represents a partial sectional view of the manual device of FIG. 1, the first distal end being considered in the direction of gravity below the second distal end while the latch is in the first position;
- FIG. 5 represents a first variant of the manual device represented in FIG. 1, and
- Figure 6 shows a second variant of the manual device shown in Figure 1.
- Figures 1 to 4 show a manual device 10, in this example a writing instrument, and more particularly a retractable ballpoint pen, comprising a first portion 12 and a second portion 14 fitted in the first part 12 by being movable in translation in an axial direction X.
- the relative sliding direction X between the first and second parts 12 and 14 corresponds to the direction in which the manual device 10 extends.
- the first portion 12 has a first distal end 12A equipped with a first head 12B, and having a hole for passage of the first head 12B.
- the first head 12B is a writing tip, and more particularly a ball point that can enter / leave the first portion 12A.
- the first head 12B is retracted into the first portion 12 while in Figure 4 the first head 12B is output and protrudes from the first distal end 12A.
- the first portion 12 is formed by two parts 12-1 and 12-2 mounted with each other by snap (not shown).
- the first part 12 may comprise more than two parts.
- the first part 12 houses a retracting mechanism 18 to bring in / out the first head 12B when the button 18A is moved.
- the mechanism 18 is a ratchet mechanism and comprises, in a manner known elsewhere, a side button 18A, a piston 18B, a rotary cam 18C and a fixed cam 18D.
- the side button 18A and the piston 18B form a single and even piece.
- the button 18A is snap-fastened to the second part 14, whereby the second part 14 and the button 18A are coupled, in this example, coupled in translation in the X direction.
- a non-spring shown is used to couple the rotativel8C cam with the body 13, in this example an ink tank, carrying the ballpoint 12B.
- the second portion 14 has a second distal end 14A equipped with a second head 14B, in this example a friction body.
- the second part 14 being coupled with the button 18A, the first part 12 is moved relative to the second part 14 (or conversely) in translation in the axial direction X, by moving the button 18A in the axial direction X.
- the second head 14B is out of the first part (which has a hole for passage of the second head 14B) while in Figure 4 the second head 14B is retracted in the first part 12.
- a locking device 16 shown in Figures 2 to 4 to block the translation of the first portion 12 relative to the second portion 14 in the axial direction X only when considered in the direction of gravity G, the first distal end 12A is disposed above the second distal end 14B (position shown in Figure 2). In other words, when considered in the direction of the gravity G, the first distal end 12A is disposed below the second distal end 14B (position shown in Figures 3 and 4), the locking mechanism allows the translation of the first portion 12 relative to the second portion 14 in the axial direction X.
- the locking device 16 comprises a metal ball 16A and a chamber 16B receiving the ball 16A.
- the chamber 16B is formed only in the second portion 14. More particularly, the second portion 14 comprises a first portion 14C forming a hollow annular sleeve extending in the axial direction X and receiving the ball 16A. This socket 14C forms a first wall of the chamber 16B.
- the sleeve 14C has a cutout receiving a second portion 14D pivotally mounted about a direction perpendicular to the axial direction X on the sleeve 14C.
- This second portion 14D forms a second wall of the chamber 16B. More particularly, this second portion 14D forms a latch movable between a first position (see Figure 4) and a second position (see Figure 2).
- This latch 14D is of course part of the locking device 16.
- the sleeve 14C On the opposite side to the second distal end 14B in the axial direction X, the sleeve 14C has a constriction 14C1 configured to retain the ball 16A in the chamber 16B within the second Part 14.
- the latch 14D On the side of the second distal end 14A, the latch 14D has a bulge 14D1 configured to retain the ball in the chamber 16, within the second portion 14.
- the latch 14D has no bulge, while the second head 14B prevents the ball 16B out of the socket 14C.
- the chamber 16B is provided only in the second part 14.
- the latch 14D has a radially outwardly projecting locking projection 14D2 which is configured to engage with a shoulder 12C1 (i.e cooperate abuttingly in the axial direction with the shoulder 12C1).
- the shoulder 12C1 is formed by the edge of a window 12C formed in the first part 12, and more particularly in this example in the part 12-1 of the first part 12. More particularly, in this example the shoulder 12C1 is oriented in the axial direction X towards the second distal end 14B.
- the portion 14D21 of the flange 14D2 facing the first distal end 12B (i.e. towards the shoulder 12C1) is beveled while the shoulder 12C extends perpendicularly to the axial direction X (i.e. is not beveled).
- the second head 14B since the second head 14B is carried by the second portion 14, the second head 14 can not be moved in the axial direction X relative to the first portion 12. Moreover, the button 18A being coupled to the second portion 14, it is also not possible to activate the retraction mechanism 18 so as to enter / exit the first head.
- the button 18A being coupled in displacement in the axial direction X with the second portion 14, the movement of the button 18A in this axial direction XI causes the second portion 14 along the same axial direction XI.
- the ball 16A having released the latch 14D, thanks to the bevelled portion 14D21, this displacement tilts the latch 14D according to the arrow B in Figure 3, whereby the latch 14D is driven from the second position to the first position.
- the latch 14D is in the second position while in Figure 4 the latch 14D is in the first position.
- the configuration of the device shown in Figures 3 and 4 corresponds to the first configuration described above.
- the first distal end 12A is disposed below the second distal end 14A and the retraction mechanism of the first head 12B has been activated (relative to Figure 3).
- the 18A button being coupled to the second part 14, the second part 14 has been displaced in the axial direction X with respect to the first part 12.
- the second head 14B is retracted, and vice versa.
- the second head can be output that the first head is out or retracted (ie whatever the state of the retraction mechanism).
- the locking device 16 is configured to allow the relative displacement of the first portion 12 relative to the second portion 14 in the X direction regardless of the relative position of the first distal end 12A relative to the second distal end (of course considered in the direction of gravity BOY WUT).
- the retraction mechanism 18 is in a state where the first head 12B is retracted.
- this makes it possible to block the displacement of the first portion 12 relative to the second portion 14 when, considered in the direction of the gravity G, the first distal end 12A is above the second distal end 14A, only if the second head 14B is output. Indeed, it is only if the second head 14B is output that it is usable, and that its use may inadvertently activate the retraction mechanism 18, which is avoided by the blocking device 16.
- the retraction mechanism 18 can be actuated the retraction mechanism 18 so as to retract the first head 12B and out the second head 14B, the blocking device 16 blocking then by the displacement of the ball 16A by gravity, the relative displacement in the axial direction X between the first part 12 and the second part when the retraction mechanism 18 goes into a state where the first head 12B is retracted (and therefore where the second head 14B is out).
- FIG. 5 represents a first variant 10 'of the manual device 10.
- the shapes of the first part 12 ', the second part 14', and the button 18A ' are different from the first and second parts 12 and 14 and button 18A of the manual device 10.
- the shoulder 12C1 'of the device 10' is formed by an edge of the distal end 12D 'of the first portion 12' opposite the first distal end 12A 'according to the axial direction X, and not by an edge of a window as in the manual device 10. This allows for example to release the projection 14D2 of the shoulder 12C1 'manually.
- the shoulder 12C1 ' has a beveled portion complementary to the bevelled portion 14D21 of the latch 14D.
- the retraction mechanism 18 ' comprises a piston 18B' which is distinct from the button 18A '.
- the device 10 functions quite similarly to the device 10.
- FIG. 6 represents a second variant 10 "of the manual device 10 of FIG. 1.
- the manual device 10 is similar to the manual device 10 of FIG. 2 and notably has the same locking device 16.
- the manual device 10 "differs from the manual device 10 only in that the first head 12B" is a mine carried by a mine advance mechanism 15, rather than a retractable ball point.
- the second portion 14 of the manual device 10 "cooperates axially with a mine reservoir 15B which extends axially to the clamps 15A of the mine advance mechanism 15.
- the second portion 14 cooperates axially with the mine tank 15B through a side button 18A ".
- This side button 18A is coupled to the second part 14 by snapping, and serves for the activation of the 15.
- the mine advance mechanism 15 via the second head 14B ", in this example a pencil eraser
- the lateral button 18A" and the second from 14 form one and the same piece.
- the first variant 10 ' is equipped with a mine carried by a mine advance mechanism similar to that of the second variant 10 ".
