Description

Multifunction pen.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a pen, that is to say a writing element, which offers a character multifunction, that is to say that in addition to its classic function as such writing element, constitutes the support for a currency, preferably for a reproduction of said currency, usable as a means of access to supermarket cars and Similar.

Thus the object of the invention is to provide a pen of the complementary medium support function for a disk with which to access a car of those just mentioned, and more specifically to significantly increase the chances that when it is necessary to take a car, that have means to release it.

Background of the invention

As is known and in order to prevent the shopping carts are abandoned indiscriminately in the areas of parking of large shopping centers, such cars they are equipped with a locking device that holds them together and inaccessible, as long as a currency is not introduced in them of sufficient value so that the vast majority of consumers return the car to its place of storage, in order to recover said currency.

A common problem arising from the use of this system, is that in many occasions the user does not It has a suitable currency to access the car, so that you must resort to one of the boxes of the establishment so that you exchange a ticket for suitable currencies, which means a loss of time in many cases very considerable.

Trying to ignore this problem are known plastic discs of a plastic nature that copy exactly the dimensions of that currency, so that its lack of monetary value limits its use exclusively for the purpose of that have been planned, but this solution does not solve satisfactorily the problem since by change of bag, change of clothing or other causes, it is common for users, even having these discs, do not have them available in a moment in which they have to be used.

This problem is theoretically solved. converting said discs into the beautifying head of a key ring, since normally any user always carries with them Your set of keys. However, this solution is not satisfactory since it forces to leave the keys hanging from the carriage lock through the key ring trim, which It poses a risk of theft of such keys, which makes users Be reluctant to use this system.

Description of the invention

The pen proposed by the invention solves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, constituting an effective solution because any user always carries a pen, especially when it comes to shopping in a supermarket, to write down the products you want and to cross them out as you go Entering in the car.

To do this and more specifically said pen, from the structuring of any pen conventional, focuses its characteristics on the fact that incorporates the aforementioned disc in currency functions for release of the car, either attached to your body with removable character, or forming an integral part of its cap, can be used together with the latter, which acts as a handle to facilitate the introduction and extraction of the currency in the corresponding car mechanism or lock.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As previously stated in the pen that the invention proposes can be of any conventional type, such as the type of those that incorporate a body (1), equipped with a lateral fixing clamp (2) and equipped with one of its ends of a push button (3) for emergency outside the tip writing (4), according to the examples of embodiment practice of figures 1 to 6, or also of the type of which a part of the pen is capable of rotating with respect to the other, to make the writing tip emerge, but it could equally it is a pen in which the body (1 ') is complemented with a cap (5), without the type of pen to which it is applied the invention absolutely affects the essentiality of this last.

Well, in the specific case represented in Figures 1 to 3, the pin pin (2) of the pen, conveniently oversized in thickness, it is affected by a outer pocket (6), dimensionally suitable to receive in your sin the disk (7) simulating the currency needed to access the car, for example simulative of one euro coin, disk (7) uncoupleable from the pen at the time of use.

To get this removable mount the bottom from the recess (6) and preferably in a centered arrangement, emerges a pin (8) that passes through a hole (9) of the disc, hole that it can be an intern so that the pin (8) is shot in a locking head (10), elastically retractable, which exceeds the outer side of the disc (7), as shown in section detail of figure 3, but said hole (9) can also be blind so that the disc (7) has an outer face completely flat, as shown in figure 2, in which case the bottom of the mentioned hole must be properly widened to receive said terminal expansion (10) of the busty (8).

According to the embodiment variant of the Figures 4 to 6, the disk coupling (7) can be longitudinal, instead of being frontal as in the previous case, of so that a nerve is established in the body (1) of the pen longitudinal (11), for example with a rhombic section, the disc (7 ') equipped with a radial groove (12), with the same section rhombic, so that through said slot the disk (7 ') it is longitudinally attachable to the rib (11), keeping in stable position by any means.

Finally and when it comes to a pen with cap (5), as shown in figures 7 to 9, itself pinch pin (2 ') of the cap can be extended with character single piece on the car access disk (7 ''), as seen especially in figure 8, so that in this case the disk (7``) is not independent from the pen, but remains permanently associated to the cap of the same, by the aforementioned single piece character of these elements, using said cap (5) as a handle that facilitates disc manipulations (7``), in the maneuvers of introduction and subsequent extraction of the same in the carriage locking mechanism.
