FR2741786A1 - Support for writing implement container - Google Patents

Abstract

The writing implement holder has a rigid housing (5) held by a gripper of which the main axis (3) is housed on the right angle (1d) of the upper part of the gripper, also allowing a front to rear rotation and vice versa. The second gripper axis (4) is placed on the upper part of the first axis to allow a right-left and vice versa orientation. The housing is connected to its support by the second axis (4). The superposition of the two axes (3,4) allows multiple orientations of the holder.

Description

 The present invention relates to a housing for writing instruments etc ... and more particularly a housing which combines the possibilities of containing objects such as writing instruments and serving as a support for writing instruments.

 In the prior art, a kit is used to contain the required number of writing instruments or a support allowing the quasi-vertical positioning of the writing instruments.

 However, these classic kits or pen holder only meet the needs of certain users (writing container, ease of transport for writing instruments).

 In view of the above, the subject of the present invention is a housing for writing instruments, etc. which not only allows them to be received and transported easily, but the encoding serves as a support that can be adapted to any work surface ( drawing table, desk, any support), as well as front-rear and left-right adjustable support.

 Thus, the present invention provides a housing for enclosing writing instruments etc ... which comprises a body for containing the desired number of writing instruments of interest such as, an axis of rotation fitted on the angle of the upper part of the clamp which allows a first front-rear rotation of the housing and vice-versa and a second axis placed in the center of the upper part of the first axis which allows a second rotation left-right and vice-versa .

 According to particular embodiments: - These two axes of rotation will allow the housing to be oriented horizontally or vertically.

- The "clamp" device can be executed thanks to a spring system which will compress the two elements of the clamp on the work surface.

- The box can be fixed on its support by fitting on the second axis (left-right).

- The case will have a high side and a low side to facilitate access to the writing instruments and will close by positioning the cover on the body of the case.

- The removable case can be fitted with a clip for carrying on the belt.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure 7 is a front view of the housing attached to the worktop. The left-right axis is in operation.

Figures 8/9 are views showing us two positions for installing the clamp on the work surface.

 With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a part (1) placed on an angle of the work surface. Fixation of the clamp on the work plan is done using an arm which mounted on the three columns of the room (1), is pushed by springs and is tightened on the work table by compression. The clamp is surmounted by a first axis (3) allowing front-rear rotation. This same axis is surmounted by a second axis (4) allowing a left-right rotation. This second axis is provided with a hook allowing the housing to be fitted onto its support.

 In the embodiment, according to Figure 5, the system consists of: - (1) of the upper part of the clamp.

- (2) of the movable clamping arm; - (3) of the front-rear axis of rotation.

- (4) of the left-right axis of rotation.

- (5) of the housing
The operation of the clamp is described as follows, the right angle of the clamp (Id) is placed on one of the sides of the work surface (drawing table, any table, movable table etc ...). The clamping mechanism of the clamp consists of parts (I) and (2). The clamping arm (2) fits into the uprights (1 c) and on the columns (la) of the pliers. Springs (lb) placed on the lower parts of the columns push the mobile arm (2) towards the top of the part (1) thus constituting the clamping element of the clamp on the work surface. The rotary elements are made up of parts (3) and (4). The element (3), the front-rear axis, is placed on the right angle of the clamp (il). The whole is connected by a screw. The element (4), the axis of left-right rotation is then placed on the axis (3) at its center. The two axes are connected to each other by a screw. The axis (4) comprises at its top, a hook (4a) on which will be fitted the housing for writing instruments (5) in its part (Sa)
In the embodiment, according to Figure la, the movable arm (2) is pushed towards the top of the workpiece (1) to tighten on the work surface.

 In the embodiment, according to Figure I b, the movable arm (2) is mounted on the columns (la) of the part (1). Springs (lb) themselves mounted on the columns will push the movable arm (2) towards the top of the clamp (1) so that it remains on its working support.

 In the embodiment, according to Figure lc, the movable arm (2) seen from below is fitted into the uprights (I c) and mounted on the columns (1 a) of the part (1).

 In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the axis (3) (front-rear) contains in its center, two curved parts. One (3a) intended to receive the axis (4) and the other (3b) intended to receive the screw holding the axes to each other. The axis (3) will be fixed on the clamp by a screw in its part (3c) ..

 In the embodiment according to Figure 3, the upper part of the clamp (i) is placed on one of the sides of the work surface. The movable arm (2) mounted on the part (I) then tightens on the work surface. The axis (3) (front-rear) is positioned on the right angle of the clamp and is fixed to it by a screw. The axis (4) (left-right) is fixed on the axis (3). The axis (4) contains in its upper part, a hook (4a) allowing one nesting of the housing (5).

 In the embodiment according to Figure 4, the housing includes two sides of different heights for easy access to instruments of varying sizes. There are compartments inside the case to keep the instruments constantly vertical. The enclosure is closed by positioning the cover (5b) on the housing body (5c). The housing includes curved parts (5a) on each side for the nesting of the latter on the clamp support.

 In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, a side view of the system, the front-rear axis is in operation.

 In the embodiment according to Figure 7, a front view of the housing, the left-right axis is in operation.

 In the embodiments, according to Figures 8 and 9, the clamp can be fixed on the work surface horizontally freeze or vertically fig.9, the housing can always be brought back, thanks to the two axes of orientation in the desired position.
