Description

  The present invention relates to an ink container that contains ink for writing instruments.

  Ink containers that contain ink for fountain pens have been known for some time, and these ink containers are generally made of hard glass, also called ink bottles. Is. To refill the fountain pen with ink for writing instruments, insert the pen tip of the fountain pen into the container body and inhale and replenish the ink for the writing instrument. At that time, the pen tip may be applied to the inner wall of the container body. There was a problem of damaging the nib.

  In order to solve the above problem, an ink container was proposed in which a container-shaped pen tip protection adapter formed of a soft synthetic resin having an ink retention portion for retaining ink was inserted in the container body. It is also sold.

  The adapter for protecting the pen tip is known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-76144 and Design Registration No. 1108850, but when briefly described with reference to the drawings, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The nib protecting adapter 6 is engaged with a concave portion 12 formed in the bottom portion 11 of the container body 2 at a bottom portion 10 opposite to an opening 7 for opening a pen tip (not shown) such as a fountain pen. The pen tip protecting adapter 6 is maintained in a substantially vertical position inside the container body 2, and the writing instrument ink 5 in the container body 2 is transferred to the ink retaining portion 24 of the pen tip protecting adapter 6. It stays in. In order to supply ink to the fountain pen, the pen tip portion is inserted into the ink retaining portion 24 of the pen tip protecting adapter 6 and the writing tool ink 5 in the ink retaining portion 24 is sucked.

  Generally, the container body 2 has a protruding cap fitting portion 4 for screw fitting the cap 3, and the pen tip protection adapter 6 is inserted into the cap fitting portion 4. is there. When the remaining amount of writing instrument ink 5 in the container body 2 decreases, the cap 3 is screwed into the cap fitting portion 4 and the ink container 1 is tilted or repeated to protect the pen tip. The ink retainer 24 of the adapter 6 is replenished by flowing the ink 5 for the writing instrument between the inner wall surface of the cap fitting portion 4 and the outer wall surface of the pen tip protecting adapter 6 facing the inner wall surface. The ink 5 for writing instruments stays in the minute gap formed by the capillarity phenomenon, and the ink 5 for writing instruments stays with time to dry and solidify, and the adapter 6 for protecting the pen tip I was stuck to it.

  By the way, the glass ink container is made of glass, and the cap and the adapter for protecting the pen tip inserted in the container body are made of synthetic resin. When it is discarded, it must be separated into glass and synthetic resin. is there. Since the cap made of synthetic resin is detachably attached to the container body by screw fitting, it can be easily separated from the container body made of glass. There is a problem in that it is stuck to the inner wall surface and cannot be easily removed from the container body simply by washing with water, and the glass container body and the synthetic resin nib protection adapter cannot be easily separated.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an ink storage container in which a pen tip protecting adapter having an ink retention portion for storing writing instrument ink and retaining a writing instrument ink is inserted in the container body. It is to make it easy to take out the nib protection adapter from the main body.

The present invention
“1. A pen tip protecting adapter in an ink containing container in which a pen tip protecting adapter having an ink retaining portion for retaining writing tool ink is accommodated in the container body. An ink container comprising a hook for hooking a tip of a finger or a rod-like body on the inner wall surface of the ink container.
2. 2. The ink storage container according to 1 above, wherein the hook portion is configured by a through hole for a finger or the like to be hooked. "
It is.

  In the present invention, the hook is a protrusion or through-hole that protrudes from the inner wall surface of the nib protection adapter so that the tip of the finger or a rod-like body is caught and the nib protection adapter can be pulled out from the inside of the container body. A concave groove or the like is formed, and the shape is not limited. However, if it is configured with a protrusion protruding inside, it will hinder insertion when inserting the pen tip of the fountain pen into the container body to replenish the fountain pen with ink for writing instruments. Since the hook becomes shallow and it is difficult to pull out the adapter for protecting the pen nib from the inside of the container body, a through hole is preferable because a finger or the like can be reliably hooked on the hook.

  Since the present invention is structured as described above, the pen tip protecting adapter solidifies the ink for the writing instrument that has entered the gap between the pen tip protecting adapter and the inner wall surface of the container body, and sticks to the inner wall surface of the container body. However, if you hook your finger or a rod-shaped body that can be inserted into the container body and pull it out of the container body, you can easily remove the pen tip protection adapter from the container body. The container main body and the adapter for protecting the pen tip made of synthetic resin can be separated and discarded.

It is sectional drawing of the ink storage container which shows the Example of the ink storage container of this invention. It is the figure seen from the container main body except the cap in FIG. FIGS. 2A and 2B are diagrams of the pen tip protecting adapter in FIG. 1, in which FIG. 1A is a side view when viewed from the left side, and FIG.

  A through-hole serving as a hook for hooking a finger or the like is provided on the inner wall surface of the nib protection adapter.

  An embodiment of the ink container of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The ink container 1 of this embodiment is composed of a glass container body 2 and a synthetic resin cap 3 in the same manner as a glass ink container called a conventional ink bottle. The cap 3 has a protruding cap fitting portion 4 for screw fitting, and the ink 5 for writing instrument is accommodated inside the container body 2. A vessel-shaped pen tip protection adapter 6 made of synthetic resin is detachably inserted into the container body 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the nib protecting adapter 6 can be inserted into the tip of a shaft cylinder having a nib (not shown) such as a fountain pen as in the conventional nib protecting adapter. It has a main body portion 8 having a large diameter and an insertion port 7 and a pen tip insertion portion 9 into which a pen tip portion of various fountain pens can be inserted. The bottom part 10 of the pen tip insertion part 9 is engaged with a recess 12 formed in the bottom part 11 of the container body 2 so that the pen tip protection adapter 6 is maintained in a substantially vertical position inside the container body 2. It is. At two opposite sides of the side surface 13 of the main body 8, a notch 14 opened to the insertion port 7 is provided, extends toward the insertion port 7, the insertion port 7 side is a free end 15, and the pen tip insertion unit 9 side. And a projecting piece portion 16 that expands in diameter as it approaches the insertion port 7, and a projecting piece portion 18 that decreases in diameter as it approaches the insertion port 7 via the bent portion 17. A projecting piece 19 that protrudes outward from the pen tip protecting adapter 6 is formed.

  The projecting piece 18 having a reduced diameter of the projecting piece 19 is brought into contact with an inner wall surface of a bent portion 21 that is continuously provided from the cap fitting portion 4 of the container main body 2 to the front end portion 20 having a wide outer diameter. The tip protection adapter 6 is prevented from being lifted by the writing instrument ink 5, and the insertion port 7 of the pen tip protection adapter 6 is positioned away from the mouth portion 22 of the container body 2. This is because the writing tool ink 5 stays in the mouth portion 22 of the container body 2 due to a capillary phenomenon acting on a minute gap formed between the outer wall surface of the nib protection adapter 6 and the mouth portion. This is to solve the problem that 22 is stained with the writing instrument ink 5 and the cap 3 is also stained with the writing instrument ink 5 due to the writing instrument ink 5.

  On the side surface 13a close to the insertion port 7 of the main body 8 of the nib protecting adapter 6, the hook portion 23 is formed of a through hole for hooking a finger or the like at one place shifted 90 degrees in the circumferential direction from the protruding piece 19. Is provided.

  Similar to the conventional pen tip protecting adapter, the pen tip inserting portion 9 has an ink retaining portion 24 in which the writing instrument ink 5 in the container body 2 flows and stays in the notch portion 14. Further, like the conventional ink container, a plate-shaped rubber packing 25 for watertightly closing the mouth portion 22 of the container body 2 is provided inside the cap 3.

  The pen tip protecting adapter 6 in this embodiment is provided with a projecting piece 19. However, when the pen tip protecting adapter 6 is taken out from the inside of the container main body 2, the diameter of the projecting piece portion 18 having a reduced diameter is increased. Since the projecting piece 19 is displaced inward by the inner wall surface of the bent portion 21 of the container body 2, the pen tip protecting adapter 6 is attached to the container. It does not interfere with the removal from the inside of the main body 2. Further, the pen tip protecting adapter 6 can be inserted into the container body 2 without difficulty.

  In the ink container of the present embodiment, the ink for the writing instrument is applied to the minute gap formed between the inner wall surface of the cap fitting portion 4 and the outer wall surface of the nib protecting adapter 6 facing the inner wall surface by capillary action. Even if the ink for writing instruments that has stayed is dried and solidified over time, and the adapter 6 for protecting the nib is stuck to the inner wall surface of the cap fitting portion 4, a finger or the like is hooked on the hook portion 22. By removing the pen tip protecting adapter 6, the pen tip protecting adapter 6 can be easily taken out from the container body 2.

  The present invention is a container containing a liquid, and has a structure in which an inner member different from the container main body is inserted into a cap fitting portion for fitting a container main body or a cap of the container main body. This is applicable when it is desired to easily take out another member.
