KYNÅKOTELOKYNÅKOTELO

Keksinnon kohteena on patenttivaatimuksen 1 johdanto-osassa mååritelty kynåkotelo.The invention relates to a pen case as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

5 Erilaiset paremmanlaatuiset kynat, kuten esim.5 Various higher quality pens, such as e.g.

kuulakårkikynåt, mustekynåt, lyijytaytekynat ja vastaa-vat, myydåfin nykyåån paåasiassa yhden ja kahden kynån koteloissa, jotka kynån oston jålkeen tavallisesti heitetåån roskiin. Kynaa kaytettSesså sitå sitten usein 10 pdydillå ja vastaavlssa sållytetåån erikseen ostetta-vlssa kynåtelinelsså.Ballpoint pens, ink pens, pencils, and the like, are now mainly sold in single- and dual-pen cases, which are usually thrown in the trash after the purchase of the pen. When a pen is used, it is then often stored in 10 pdydes and the like in a separately purchased pen holder.

Edellå kuvattu nykyinen kåytånto alheuttaa kynån kåyttåjålle kynåtelineen ostosta johtuvia ylimåå-råislå kustannuksia sekå kynåkotelon poisheitosta ai-15 heutuvia jåtteenkåslttelykustannuksla. Lisåksl nykyi-sesså tekniikassa uutta kynåå kåyttoon otettaessa el soplvaa kynåtellnettå ole alna vålittomåsti saatavilla ja kåytettåvisså, joten uudet kynåt lojuvat poydillå usein epåmååråisesti.The current practice described above reduces the extra cost to the pen user of purchasing a pen holder, as well as the cost of disposing of the pen case with waste disposal costs. In addition, Alna is not immediately available and usable in the current technology when a new pen is introduced, so the new pens often hang vaguely on the table.

20 Nåltå ongelmla tunnetussa tekniikassa on py- rltty poistamaan suomalaisen patentln 87166 mukalsella kynåkotelolla, joka on taltettavlssa kakslnkerroln muodostamaan poydållå pidettåvå kynåteline. Tållainen kynåteline el kultenkaan kaikissa olosuhtelssa ole 25 paras mahdolllnen. Se on suhteelllsen kevyt ja kllkkerå eikå se tyydytå kaikkla ulkonådllisestl.20 The aim of the prior art is to eliminate this problem with a pencil case according to Finnish patent 87166, which can be retracted twice to form a pencil holder to be held on a table. Such a pencil case is not the best possible in all circumstances. It is relatively light and simple and does not satisfy its appearance.

KeksinnQn tarkoltuksena on tuoda eslin uuden-lainen myos kynåtellneenå kåytettåvå kynakotelo, joka on sekå ulkonåollisesti ettå toiminnallisesti tunnettu-30 ja rakentelta parempl.The object of the invention is to provide a new type of pencil case which can also be used as a pen, which is both externally and functionally known-30 and better in construction.

Keksinnolle tunnusomalsten selkkojen osalta viitataan vaatimusosaan.Reference is made to the claims for the invention.

Keksinnon mukaiseen kynåkoteloon kuuluu pohja, pohjan påisså kiinnikkeet kynån kiinnittåmiseksi kynå-35 koteloon, pohjassa taitosalue, josta pohja on kåånnet-tåvisså olennaisesti kakslnkerroln muodostamaan kynåteline sekå ainakin yksi sovite, johon kynå on tuetta- 2 90493 vissa olennaisesti pystysuunnassa kynåtelineeseen. Keksinnon mukaisesti pohjaan kuuluu etaisyydella tai-tosalueesta toinen taitosalue, jolloin pohja jakautuu leveyssuuntaisilla taitosalueilla pituussuunnassaan 5 kolmeen osaan, jotka ovat taivutettavissa olennaisesti kolmion muotoon kynåtelineeksi reunimmaisten osien påådyt vastakkain.The pen case according to the invention comprises a base, fasteners at the end of the base for attaching the pen to the pen-35 housing, a folding area at the bottom, from which the base can be pivoted substantially in duplicate to form a pen holder and at least one adapter to which the pen is substantially supported. According to the invention, the base comprises a second folding area at a distance from the folding area, the base being divided into three parts in its longitudinal folding areas in its longitudinal direction 5, which can be bent into a substantially triangular pencil case with the ends of the outermost parts facing each other.

Edullisesti reunimmaisten osien pååtyihin eli pohjan molempiin paihin kuuluu toisiaan vastaavat vas-10 tinpinnat ja niisså voi lisaksi olla erilaisia kiinnit-timiå, nastoja tai koloja, jolloin påådyt tai pååtyjen alueet voidaan tukevasti sovittaa tai lukita toisiaan vasten.Preferably, the ends of the outermost parts, i.e. both locations of the base, have corresponding abutment surfaces and may additionally have different fasteners, pins or recesses, whereby the ends or areas of the ends can be firmly fitted or locked against each other.

Edullisesti taitosalueet jakavat pohjan kol-15 meen osaan siten, ettå osien pituudet ovat suuruusluo-kassa 2:2:1.Preferably, the fold areas divide the base into three parts so that the lengths of the parts are of the order of 2: 2: 1.

Edullisesti osat jakautuvat siten, ettå kes-kimmåinen osa muodostaa kynatelineen pohjan ja pidempi reunaosa muodostaa kynåtelineen pMMllikannen, jonka 20 ylMreunassa on sovite tai sovitteet kyniM vårten. TS1-loin lyhyempi reunaosista muodostaa tuen, olennaisesti pystysuunnassa ulottuvan kappaleen, joka tukee kynatelineen pohjan ja kannen toisiinsa jonkin verran viis-toon asentoon toistensa suhteen.Preferably, the parts are divided so that the middle part forms the bottom of the pen holder and the longer edge part forms a pMM cover with a fitting or fittings for the pens. The shorter of the TS1 members of the edge portions forms a support, a substantially vertically extending body, which supports the bottom of the pen holder and the lid to each other in a somewhat five position relative to each other.

25 Keksinndn mukainen kynåteline on helposti koottavissa kynakotelosta ja se muodostaa tukevan ja hyvin pystyssS pysyvSn alustan siihen asetetuille ky-nille. Lisaksi kynåteline on ulkomuodoltaan onnistunut ja edustavan nåkdinen rakenne, joten sen kSytto vaati-30 vissakin olosuhteissa valitsemalla valmistusmateriaalit ja varitykset sopiviksi on perusteltua.The pen holder according to the invention is easily assembled from the pen case and forms a solid and very vertical base for the pens placed therein. In addition, the pen holder has a successful appearance and a representative appearance, so its use is required in all conditions by choosing the appropriate materials and warnings.

Seuraavassa keksintoa selostetaan yksityiskoh-taisesti viittaamalla oheiseen piirustukseen, jossa kuva 1 esittaå alta katsottuna erastM keksinnon mukais-35 ta kynåkoteloa, kuva 2 esittaa kuvan 1 kynakoteloa sivulta katsottuna, kuva 3 esittaå viistosti edestå kynåtelineeksi kåånnet- 3 90493 tyå kynakoteloa ja kuva 4 esittMS kynatelinettå sivulta katsottuna.The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a bottom view of a pen case according to the invention, Figure 2 is a side view of the pen case of Figure 1, Figure 3 is an oblique front view of the pen viewed from the side.

Kuvien 1 ja 2 esittåmSån kynåkoteloon kuuluu olennaisesti tasomainen pohja 1, jonka molemmissa påis-5 så on pohjan tasosta nousevat tukikappaleet tai vastaa-vat, joissa on kiinnikkeet 2 ja 3, joihin kyna 4 voi-daan kiinnittåå. Pohjan påålle on lisaksi tuettavissa kansi 13, joka kuvan 2 sovelluksessa on låpinåkyvåa materiaalia.The pen housing shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a substantially planar base 1, each end-5 of which has supports rising from the plane of the base or the like, with fasteners 2 and 3 to which the pen 4 can be attached. In addition, a lid 13 can be supported on top of the base, which in the embodiment of Fig. 2 is made of a transparent material.

10 Pohja 1 on jaettu poikittaisilla taitosalueil- la 5 ja 7 kolmeen osaan 8, 9 ja 10. Taitosalueet on muodostettu pohjassa olevista heikennyksistå eli ohuem-mista kohdista pohjan paksuudessa, jolloin esim. sopi-vasta muovista tehtynå pohja voidaan taittaa taitosalu-15 eista.The base 1 is divided by the transverse fold areas 5 and 7 into three parts 8, 9 and 10. The fold areas are formed by weaknesses in the base, i.e. thinner points in the thickness of the base, whereby the base can be folded from the fold areas 15, for example made of suitable plastic.

Kuvan 1 mukaisesti pohjan toisessa pååsså oleva tukikappale 11, jossa on kiinnike 2, on yhdistet-ty pohjaan 1 nivelellå 12 eli ohuella taitoksella, jolloin tukikappale 11 voidaan poistaa esim. repåistå 20 irti pohjasta muutettaessa kynåkotelo kynatelineeksi.According to Fig. 1, a support piece 11 at the other end of the base, with a bracket 2, is connected to the base 1 by a joint 12, i.e. a thin fold, whereby the support piece 11 can be removed from the tear 20, for example, by changing the pen case into a pen holder.

Tukikappaleen 11 poiston jalkeen pohja voidaan . . taittaa kuvien 3 ja 4 mukaiseksi kynatelineeksi taivut- tamalla pohjan pidempi reunaosa 8 ja keskimmHinen osa 9 olennaisesti påållekkåin ja viistoon asentoon toistensa 25 suhteen ja samalla taivuttamalla lyhyempi reunaosa 10 vahån suoran kulman yli keskimmåiseen osaan 9 nåhden. Tålloin pohjan pMåt 1 eli pidemmån reunaosan 8 paaty ja lyhyemmån reunaosan 10 påSty kohtaavat ja ne voidaan tukea toisiaan vasten niiden vastinpintojen sovittuessa 30 toisiinsa.After removal of the support piece 11, the bottom can be. . folds into a pen holder according to Figures 3 and 4 by bending the longer edge portion 8 and the middle portion 9 of the base substantially in an overlapping and oblique position relative to each other 25 and at the same time bending the shorter edge portion 10 over a slightly right angle to the middle portion 9. In this case, the end pMåt 1 of the base, i.e. the end of the longer edge part 8 and the end of the shorter edge part 10, meet and can be supported against each other when their mating surfaces fit together.

NMin pohjan 1 keskimmainen osa 9 muodostaa kynåtelineen pohjan ja pohjan pidempi reunaosa 8 muodostaa kynåtelineeseen kannen. Lyhyempi reunaosa 10 tukee pohjan ja kannen toisiaan vasten ja maarMa pohjan 35 ja kannen vålisen kaltevuuden. Pidemman reunaosan eli kannen 8 påållå on tukikappale, johon kynå tukeutui kynåkotelossa ja nyt tukikappaleessa olevaan sovittee- 4 90493 seen 6 kynå voidaan sijoittaa olennaisesti pystysuun-taiseen asentoon.The middle part 9 of the base 1 of the NM forms the bottom of the pen holder and the longer edge part 8 of the base forms the lid of the pen holder. The shorter edge portion 10 supports the base and lid against each other and defines the slope between the base 35 and the lid. On the longer edge part, i.e. the lid 8, there is a support piece on which the pen rested in the pen case, and now in the adapter 6 90493 in the support piece the pen can be placed in a substantially vertical position.

Pohjassa 1 olevat taitosalueet 5 ja 7 on edul-lisesti muotoiltu siten, ettå pohjan ylåpinnassa ohen-5 tumat kaareutuvat pydreåmuotoisina, jolloin ne kynåte-lineesså muodostavat kynatelineen pyoreåt ulkoreunat. Ohentumien alareunat taas on edullisesti muotoiltu kahteen eri viistouteen niin, ettå viistot pinnat pai-nautuvat toisiaan vasten taivutettaessa pohja kynåte-10 lineeksi, jolloin telineen kulmista tulee erittåin tukevat. Jopa on mahdollista liimata nåmå vastinpinnat kiinni toisiinsa.The fold areas 5 and 7 in the base 1 are preferably shaped in such a way that in the upper surface of the base the thinnings 5 curve in a pyramidal shape, whereby they form the round outer edges of the pen holder in the pen line. The lower edges of the thinnings, on the other hand, are preferably shaped into two different obliquities, so that the oblique surfaces press against each other when the base is bent into a pen-10 line, whereby the corners of the stand become very supportive. It is even possible to glue these mating surfaces together.

On huomattava, ettå taitosalueet voivat koos-tua saranoista, ohuemmasta pohjamateriaalista tal muu-15 ten olla jårjestetty siten, ettå pohja on helposti taivutettavissa. Niiden ei tarvitse olla jåykkiå kynå-kotelossa, koska koteion jåykiståå siihen kiinnitetyt kynåt sekå kansi. Samoin kynien ja vastaavien kiinnik-keiden ja sovitteiden lukumååråå ei keksinnosså rajata, 20 vaan niitå voi olla yksi tal useampia.It should be noted that the fold areas may consist of hinges, the thinner base material may otherwise be arranged so that the base can be easily bent. They do not have to be rigid in the pen case, as the case stiffens the pens attached to it as well as the lid. Similarly, the number of pens and corresponding fasteners and adapters is not limited in the invention, but may be one or more.

Edellå keksintoå on selostettu esimerkinomai-sesti oheisten piirustusten avulla keksinnon eri sovel-lusten ollessa kuitenkin mahdollisia patenttivaatimus-ten rajaaman keksinndllisen ajatuksen puitteissa.The foregoing invention has been described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, however, various embodiments of the invention are possible within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims.
