  However, there is a drawback in that the gripping portion in which a flexible material, gel-like substance, or gas is sealed is arbitrarily deformed, so that it is not soft and is too soft. In addition, even when a fine solid was placed in the space and the grip was a waist, the tactile sensation of the internal shaft was transmitted to the fingertips due to deformation, leading to pain and discomfort.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a shaft body in which at least an elastic resin is disposed and / or integrally provided in the grip portion of the shaft body, and a space is provided between the shaft body and the grip portion, and a fine solid is placed in the space. And a shaft body characterized by providing a space inside the gripping part and arranging a fine solid in the space, and in particular, the fine solid is in the form of particles and / or Or it is preferable that it is fibrous.

  The material of the shaft body 1 may be any material that can form metal, resin, wood, stone, and the like. If the material forming the grip portion 2 has sufficient strength to form the shaft body 1, the grip portion is made of that material. Can be formed on the shaft body itself, and is not particularly limited. These materials may be one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds.

  Examples of the material of the shaft body 1 and / or the grip portion 2 include resin and / or elastic resin. As the resin, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyethylene resin (PE), polypropylene resin (PP), polystyrene resin (PS), acrylonitrile styrene resin (AS), acrylonitrile styrene butadiene resin (ABS), Methacrylic resin (PMMA), polyacetal resin (POM), polyamide resin (PA), polycarbonate resin (PC), polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET), tetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE), acrylic resin and silicone resin as elastic resin , Fluorine resin, vinyl chloride, urethane resin, polyurethane resin, polyethylene resin, elastomer gel, polyethylene gel, dimethyl silicone, methyl vinyl silicone, methyl phenyl vinyl silicone , Methyl fluoroalkyl silicone (fluorosilicone), fluoro-dimethyl copolymer silicone, urethane rubber, ethylene acrylic rubber, epichlorohydrin rubber, acrylic rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, chloroprene rubber, natural rubber, isoprene rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, nitrile rubber , Styrene-based elastomer, olefin-based elastomer, ester-based elastomer, urethane-based elastomer, and the like, but are not particularly limited as long as the shape can be maintained. These resins and / or elastic resins may be one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds. In addition, it is possible to improve the anti-slip effect and the grip feeling by molding and painting an elastic resin on the surface of the grip portion formed of resin.

  The hardness of the elastic resin constituting the gripping portion may be appropriately selected within a hardness range of 0 to 90 degrees for Shore A or 0 to 90 degrees for Asker C, and is not particularly limited. However, an elastic resin of 60 degrees or less on Shore A and 80 degrees or more on Asker C becomes hard and less sticky or swells on the surface. Therefore, it is an elastic resin of 60 degrees or less on Shore A and 80 degrees or less on Asker C. It is desirable. Further, the inner layer and the outer layer may be molded integrally with the same material or may be molded and assembled separately with materials having different hardness, and are not particularly limited.

As the particle size is finer, the surface area per unit weight increases, so that an effect of increasing the absorption efficiency of oil and / or water can be expected. However, the particle size may be appropriately selected according to the shape and size of the gripping part. Further, by using an inorganic powder having oil absorption and / or water absorption, there is no change in volume even when oil and / or water is absorbed, and swelling and loosening of the gripping portion can be further prevented. The amount added to the resin may be appropriately selected according to the shape and size of the gripping part, but if the amount added is too small, a sufficient effect cannot be expected, and if it is too large, the strength is impaired. Therefore, it is desirable that the added amount is 0.001% to 50%, particularly 0.01% to 10% by weight. The addition amount to the elastic resin may be appropriately selected according to the shape and size of the gripping portion, but if the addition amount is too small, a sufficient effect cannot be expected, and if it is too large, the hardness of the elastic resin increases and elasticity is increased. Therefore, it is desirable that the addition amount is 0.001% to 50%, particularly 0.01% to 10% by weight with respect to the elastic resin.

As a fine solid 5, glass beads (Unibead UB-1618L, manufactured by Union Co., Ltd.) are arranged in the space between the inner layer and the outer layer, and as an auxiliary material 6, human skin gel (urethane gel, manufactured by EXCIAL Corporation, Asker) The grip portion 2 partially filled with the space 2a was attached to the shaft body 1 by filling with C hardness (5 degrees), blowing air, and then curing. The position of the glass beads changes moderately depending on the pressure at the time of grasping, and the movement becomes a softer change by the urethane gel, but the deformation becomes larger because of the space. For this reason, the grasping part 2 is deformed into the shape of a grasped finger and exhibits effects such as ease of holding and difficulty in sliding. The inner glass beads themselves are hard and elastic due to the urethane gel, so they do not deform too much when gripped firmly, and a good feeling with a waist is obtained. Furthermore, by changing the thickness of the inner layer and the outer layer to increase the thickness of the inner layer, excessive deformation is suppressed, and pain and discomfort felt when the grip of the inner shaft is transmitted to the fingertip when grasped are eliminated. In addition, by thinning the outer layer, the internal space is widened to secure a volume enough for glass beads and human skin gel.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram of the first comparative example. FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A ′ of FIG. A space was provided inside by providing an inner layer and an outer layer, and fine solids and auxiliary materials were arranged in this space. Reference numeral 1 is a shaft, reference numeral 2 is a gripping part, reference numeral 3 is an inner layer, reference numeral 4 is an outer layer, reference numeral 2a is a space formed by the inner layer 3 and the outer layer 4, and reference numeral 5 is a fine solid. Reference numeral 6 is an auxiliary material. The inner layer and the outer layer have substantially the same thickness.

  The shaft tube 1 was made of polypropylene, and an elastomer (Lavalon MJ5302C, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Co., Ltd., Shore A hardness: 50 degrees) was used as the gripping portion 2 to form a transparent one by injection molding. As a fine solid 5, glass beads (Unibead UB-1921LN, manufactured by Union Co., Ltd.) were arranged in the space between the inner layer and outer layer, and the gap was filled with silicone gel (KE-1052, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.). The grip portion 2 was attached to the shaft body 1. The glass beads change their position appropriately according to the pressure when grasped, and the movement is made softer by the silicone gel. For this reason, the grasping part 2 is deformed into the shape of a grasped finger and exhibits effects such as ease of holding and difficulty in sliding. The inner glass beads themselves are hard and elastic due to the silicone gel, so that they do not deform too much when grasped firmly, and a good feeling with a waist is obtained. However, when the thickness of the inner layer and the outer layer is not changed and the thickness of the glass beads makes it easy to feel the tactile sensation, the tactile sensation of the inner shaft body is transmitted to the fingertips when gripped, and the user feels pain and discomfort.

  The present invention relates to a shaft body in which an elastic resin is provided on at least a portion of the shaft body that is to be gripped. Examples of shafts include writing instruments such as mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, correction pens, tools such as cutters and engraving swords, drivers, input pens used in PDAs (personal digital assistance) and electronic notebooks, bicycle handles, etc. Wide range.
