Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a writing instrument with a two-dimensional code having such a structure that allows the two-dimensional code to be provided in the easy-to-see position of the utensils and hardly causes failures in reading.SOLUTION: The writing instrument 1 with a clip has such a structure that the clip 4 is attached to a support part 3a provided at the side of a shaft cylinder 3, so that the top end 4d of the clip 4 is always repulsed to the side of the shaft cylinder 3 by a repulsive member 5 interposed between the clip 4 and the shaft cylinder 3. A flat part 4e is formed on the surface of the clip 4 and the two-dimensional code 7 is provided in the flat part 4e.

Description

  The present invention relates to a writing instrument with a two-dimensional code.

Since writing instruments have often been used by many people in the past, they are often used as novelties by printing company names or organization names, or so-called name placement. Recently, companies and organizations often have home pages on the Internet, and the address of the home page is often printed on a writing instrument as a name. In recent years, two-dimensional codes such as QR codes (registered trademark) in which light and dark pattern unit cells are arranged in a matrix are known, and many of these two-dimensional codes include homepage address information. It's being used.
In recent years, many mobile phones have a two-dimensional code reading function and an Internet function. The two-dimensional code containing the address information of the home page is used as the two-dimensional code reading function of the mobile phone. It is possible to easily access the Internet homepage with the read address as it is. Therefore, since the two-dimensional code has the convenience of omitting the trouble of inputting the address of the home page, it is required that the two-dimensional code can be put on the writing instrument.

  On the other hand, the writing instruments that are often used as name holders are small in size and have a curved shaft. Therefore, when considering the function as a two-dimensional code, it is necessary to consider the printing location and printing accuracy. If the 2D code is made too small considering the above, the reading function of the mobile phone will be defective, and for writing instruments with a small shaft diameter, the 2D code will be rounded along the curved surface of the shaft Could not be read. In addition, since the clip in the writing instrument is an easy-to-see part when the name is put in, it is preferable as the part to put the name as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-12289, but regarding the printing of the two-dimensional code described above. However, since the width of the clip is narrow, the size of the two-dimensional code that can be inevitably printed is reduced, and there is a possibility that a problem may occur in reading.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-12289

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a writing instrument with a two-dimensional code having a structure that makes it possible to provide a two-dimensional code at an easy-to-see position of the writing instrument and is less likely to cause problems in reading.

  By the way, recently, the tip of the clip is always repelled on the side surface of the shaft tube by a resilient member interposed between the clip and the shaft tube on the support portion provided on the side surface of the shaft tube. Since there is a writing instrument with a clip of the attached structure on the market, and the clip sells thick objects like clothespins, this kind of writing instrument clip Even when compared, it was noted that a wide and large presence was attached, and the present inventors found that the two-dimensional code provided on the wide clip is easy to read.

That is, the present invention
“A structure in which a clip is attached to a support portion provided on a side surface of a shaft cylinder so that a tip end portion of the clip is constantly repelled on a side surface of the shaft cylinder by a resilient member interposed between the clip and the shaft cylinder. A writing instrument with a two-dimensional code, characterized in that a flat part is formed on the surface of the clip, and a two-dimensional code is provided on the flat part.

  The resilient member interposed between the clip and the shaft tube in the present invention is a member having a resilient force such as a leaf spring, a linear spring, or foamed rubber, and presses the tip of the clip against the side surface of the shaft tube. It is possible to appropriately select those that can be used. In view of the ease of reading the two-dimensional code provided in the clip, the width of the portion where the two-dimensional code is provided is preferably about 9 mm or more, and the dimension of the two-dimensional code provided in the portion is a mobile phone. It is preferable that one side is about 7 mm or more from the performance of the two-dimensional code reading function.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a writing instrument having a two-dimensional code in a state in which it is easy to read a clip, which is a place where the name entry on the writing instrument is easy to see.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a writing instrument with a two-dimensional code of this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram of a comparative example.

  We have realized a writing instrument in which a two-dimensional code is provided on a clip that is easy to see the name on the writing instrument.

  Next, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The same members and the same parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, a slide pay-off type ballpoint pen will be described as an example of a writing instrument, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the ballpoint pen 1 has a front shaft cylinder 2 and a rear shaft cylinder 3 connected to each other. The formed through-hole 4b is locked, and the tip 4d of the clip 4 is placed on the side surface of the rear shaft cylinder 4 by the coil spring 5 interposed between the rear end 4c side of the clip 4 and the rear shaft cylinder 3. It ’s always bulleted. Further, the ballpoint pen 1 moves the two sliders 6 projecting from the sliding holes 3b formed in the rear shaft 3 back and forth to move the front end of the writing body (not shown) accommodated in the front shaft cylinder 2. Can be haunted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional code 7 having a square dimension M of 7 mm is printed on the flat portion 4e of the surface of the clip 4 having a width dimension L of 9 mm. When this two-dimensional code 7 is read using the two-dimensional code reading function of the mobile phone, the address information of the home page given to the two-dimensional code 7 can be obtained, and further, the home page can be obtained using the Internet function of the mobile phone. Was able to be browsed easily and quickly.

  The cap-type ballpoint pen 10 of the comparative example of FIG. 4 has a cap 30 attached to the front of the shaft cylinder 20 and is a two-dimensional one in which a dimension N of a square is 5 mm on a clip 40 having a width dimension S of 7 mm. Code 70 is printed. When the two-dimensional code 70 is read by using the two-dimensional code reading function of the mobile phone, there are some mobile phone models that cannot recognize the two-dimensional code, and the angle of the mobile phone with respect to the two-dimensional code 70. In many cases, it was necessary to read with care.

  The structure of the writing instrument with a two-dimensional code of the present invention can also be employed in a cosmetic or applicator with a clip.
