In addition, a lock mechanism is provided that can be selected to enable or disable the movement of the holding member 1 in the longitudinal direction to the slide member 3. A rotation mechanism is constituted so as to rotate the lead holder 18 stepwise at a predetermined angle by reciprocating a sliding member 15 in the longitudinal direction to the slide member 3. When the sliding member 15 is enabled to move in the longitudinal direction to the slide member 3, the lead 19 is rotated by operating the lock mechanism.

Description

  The present invention relates to a mechanical pencil in which a lead holder rotates in one direction by a reciprocating movement of a tip member caused by writing pressure, and the lead and chuck are rotated as the lead holder rotates.

In general, the writing instrument is written with a slight tilt, but when writing with the mechanical pencil tilted, the lead is reduced by one side, so that the end face of the lead becomes elliptical and the writing width gradually increases. It was. Therefore, it was necessary to rotate the mechanical pencil in order to maintain a narrow writing width.
In order to eliminate this point, an opening groove is formed in the inner shaft, and one side wall of the opening groove is largely inclined at the front part and formed substantially perpendicular to the rear part, and the other side wall is substantially the same. In addition to forming a protrusion that is engaged with the opening groove on the coupling tool, a locking claw is formed at the rear end of the coupling tool, and the coupling tool is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the inner shaft. A number of cam teeth are formed in the circumferential direction at the front end of the rotating member, the chuck is configured to be slidable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the rotating member and cannot be rotated, and a return spring is provided between the coupling tool and the rotating member. The rotating member is stretched, and the rotating member is urged forward in the longitudinal direction by a spring having a larger mounting load than the return spring to press the rotating member against the inner shaft. The cam teeth are separated from each other as appropriate, and the pen pressure is applied to the core. As a result, the protrusion of the connecting tool connecting the core guide member moves backward along the right side wall of the inner shaft while rotating counterclockwise, and when the locking claw of the connecting tool comes into contact with the cam teeth of the rotating member, the rotating member is moved together with the connecting tool. There is also known a mechanical pencil that rotates counterclockwise and the chuck and the core rotate counterclockwise by a certain amount together with the rotating member. (See Patent Document 1)

  However, in the above mechanical pencil, since the lead, chuck and lead guide member reciprocate simultaneously in the shaft tube and the tip member, the movement of the lead is directly transmitted to the hand holding the shaft tube and is very difficult to write. It was. In addition, when writing pressure is applied to the lead, the lead guide member protruding from the tip member and the retreat of the lead enter the eyes, resulting in discomfort. Moreover, it was not possible to write without rotating the lead by writing pressure.

  The problem to be solved is that the core, the chuck and the core guide member reciprocate simultaneously in the shaft cylinder and the tip member, so that the movement of the core is directly transmitted to the hand holding the shaft cylinder, and the writing is difficult. The movement of the core and the core guide member protruding from the tip member enters the eyes, causing discomfort. Furthermore, it is a point which cannot write without rotating the core by writing pressure.

  According to the present invention, a fastener is externally fitted to the chuck head, the chuck is urged rearward in the longitudinal direction by a chuck spring, and a connecting member that receives the fastener pressed by the chuck can be rotated with respect to the slide member. The grip member is configured to be appropriately movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the slide member, and a lock mechanism is provided for selecting whether the grip member can be moved in the longitudinal direction with respect to the slide member. The sliding member is movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the member and cannot rotate, and the core holder is rotated at a predetermined angle in one direction by reciprocating the sliding member in the longitudinal direction with respect to the sliding member. When the rotation mechanism is configured and the lock mechanism is operated so that the sliding member can be moved in the longitudinal direction relative to the sliding member, the core holder can be rotated by writing. The main feature is that the core does not rotate even if writing is performed when the sliding member cannot be moved in the longitudinal direction relative to the slide member. .

  According to the present invention, by operating the lock mechanism, the lead holder rotates in one direction by the reciprocating motion of the tip member due to the writing pressure, and the lead and the chuck rotate as the lead holder rotates. The advantage that the state in which the is not rotated can be arbitrarily selected is obtained.

Then, the inclined surface 14E of the rear cam 14B of the rotating member 14 passes over the inclined surface 15E of the rear cam 15B of the sliding member 15 and comes into contact with the inclined surface 15E on the right side, as shown in FIG. 19 rotates to the right by one inclined surface 14E dimension of the rear cam 14B of the rotating member 14. The chuck 5, the connector 7 and the core tank 8 are separated from the pressing member 26, and the gap between the weight body 21 and the core tank 8 is larger than the gap between the fixed piece 4 and the weight body 21, so that the core There is no fear that the rotation of the tank 8 is hindered by the pressing member 26 or the weight body 21.

  When the core 19 is worn by writing, when the gripping member 1 gripped by hand is shaken, the weight body 21 first moves rearward and comes into contact with the rear O-ring 25. When the gripping member 1 is shaken forward by the reaction, the weight body 21 moves forward and contacts the front O-ring 11. The chuck 5, the connector 7 and the lead tank 8 are moved forward by the inertial force of the weight body 21, and a fixed amount of lead 19 is fed out in the same manner as a conventionally known swing-out mechanical pencil.

  When it is desired to stop the rotation of the core 19, the lock member 13 constituting the lock mechanism is rotated and retracted, and the locking portion 13B is brought into contact with the front shaft 2 to be in the state shown in FIG. Then, the front shaft 2 cannot move in the longitudinal direction with respect to the tip member 12 and the slide member 3, and the core 19 does not rotate even if writing is performed.

Further, the inclined surface 115C of the front cam 115A of the sliding member 115 and the inclined surface 115E of the rear cam 115B are the same in number, and the vertical surface 115F of the rear cam 115B is located at the approximate center of the inclined surface 115C of the front cam 115A. Further, the inclined surface 114C of the front cam 114A of the rotating member 114 and the inclined surface 114E of the rear cam 114B are the same in number as the inclined surface 115C of the front cam 115A and the inclined surface 115F of the rear cam 115B of the sliding member 115, and the front cam 115A. The vertical surface 115D and the vertical surface 115F of the rear cam 115B are aligned in the longitudinal direction. A protrusion 114H of the rotating member 114 is attached between the front cam 115A and the rear cam 115B of the sliding member 115 so that the front cam 114A of the rotating member 114 and the front cam 115A of the sliding member 115 face each other. The rear cam 114B and the rear cam 115B of the sliding member 115 are configured to face each other. Further, the sliding member 115 is configured to be movable back and forth appropriately in the longitudinal direction with respect to the rotating member 114, and slides with the front cam 114A of the rotating member 114, the front cam 115A of the sliding member 115, and the rear cam 114B of the rotating member 114. The rear cam 115B of the member 115 is configured to be able to contact.

  The rotating member 114 and the sliding member 115 are built in the tip member 312, but a protrusion 115 </ b> G formed at a relative position of the sliding member 115 is inserted into the key groove 312 </ b> C of the tip member 312. Thus, the sliding member 115 is configured to be movable in the longitudinal direction but not rotatable. Further, the protrusion 115G of the sliding member 115 protrudes outward from the rear surface of the tip member 312. Further, the front spring 20 is attached between the inner stage 312D of the tip member 312 and the outer stage 115H of the sliding member 115, and the sliding member 115 is urged rearward in the longitudinal direction.

  The tip member 312 is detachably screwed to the slide member 3, and a rotating member 114 is rotatably incorporated between the locking step 312 </ b> E of the tip member 312 and the front end of the connector 9. The front cam 115A of the sliding member 115 urged rearward in the longitudinal direction by the front spring 20 attached at the position is brought into contact with the front cam 114A of the rotating member 114, and the protrusion 115G of the sliding member 115 is brought into contact with the front shaft 2. It is brought into contact with the key 2B. Then, the inner flange 2A of the front shaft 2 is brought into contact with the outer stage 4A of the fixed piece 4 to constitute a swing-out mechanical pencil.

  When writing with the mechanical pencil, the core 19 is pressed against the paper surface, and as shown in FIG. 17, the chuck 5 receiving the writing pressure, the fastener 6, the connecting tool 9, the slide member 3, the fixing piece 4, and the tip member 312. The rotating member 114 is stopped, but the front shaft 2 and the gripping member 1 gripped by hand with respect to the slide member 3 move forward, and the sliding member 115 in which the protrusion 115G is in contact with the key 2B of the front shaft 2. Further, the front spring 2 moves forward while compressing the front spring 20. Then, the rear cam 115B of the sliding member 115 contacts the rear cam 114B of the rotating member 114, and the inclined surface 115E of the rear cam 115B of the sliding member 115 contacts the inclined surface 114E of the rear cam 114B of the rotating member 114. However, since the projecting portion 115G is inserted into the key groove 312C of the leading member 312 and the sliding member 115 cannot rotate, the inclined surface 114E of the rear cam 114B of the rotating member 114 is the rear cam 115B of the sliding member 115. As shown in FIG. 16, the rotation member 114 rotates to the right with respect to the front side. When the lead holder 18 attached to the rotating member 114 is rotated to the right together with the rotating member 114, the lead 19 is also rotated to the right. At this time, the chuck 5 holding the lead 19 also rotates to the right with respect to the slide member 3 together with the fastener 6 and the connector 9.

  Next, when writing is stopped and the core 19 is separated from the paper surface, the tip member 312 and the slide member 3 urged forward by the front spring 20 are moved forward with respect to the front shaft 2 and the gripping member 1 gripped by hand. . Then, together with the slide member 3, the connector 9, the fastener 6, the chuck 5, the rotating member 114, and the lead holder 18 move forward together with the lead 19. Then, the inclined surface 114C of the front cam 114A formed on the rotating member 114 contacts the inclined surface 115C of the front cam 115A formed on the sliding member 115, and the inclined surface 114C of the front cam 114A of the rotating member 114 slides. The rotating member 114 rotates clockwise with respect to the front by sliding along substantially half of the inclined surface 115C of the front cam 115A of the member 115. Further, the outer stage 4A of the fixed piece 4 comes into contact with the inner collar 2A of the front shaft 2 and returns to the state shown in FIG. Then, the inclined surface 114C of the front cam 114A of the rotating member 114 gets over one inclined surface 115C of the front cam 115A of the sliding member 115 and comes into contact with the inclined surface 115C adjacent to the right, and the core 19 is moved to the rear of the rotating member 114. The cam 114B rotates to the right by the dimension of one inclined surface 114E. When the chuck 5, the connector 7 and the lead tank 8 rotate, the lead tank 8 and the pressing member 26 are separated, and the gap between the weight body 21 and the lead tank 8 is larger than the gap between the fixed piece 4 and the weight body 21. Since it is configured to be large, there is no possibility that the rotation of the lead tank 8 is hindered by the pressing member 26 and the weight body 21.

  When the core 19 is worn by writing, when the gripping member 1 gripped by hand is shaken, the weight body 21 first moves rearward and comes into contact with the rear O-ring 25. When the gripping member 1 is shaken forward by the reaction, the weight body 21 moves forward and contacts the front O-ring 11. The chuck 5, the connector 7 and the lead tank 8 are moved forward by the inertial force of the weight body 21, and a fixed amount of lead 19 is fed out in the same manner as a conventionally known swing-out mechanical pencil.

  Further, when it is desired to stop the rotation of the core 19, the lock member 13 constituting the lock mechanism is rotated and retracted, and the locking portion 13B is brought into contact with the front shaft 2 to be in the state shown in FIG. Then, the front shaft 2 cannot move in the longitudinal direction with respect to the tip member 312 and the slide member 3, and the core 19 does not rotate even if writing is performed.

  Hereinafter, based on FIG.20 and FIG.21, the mechanical pencil of Example 5 in this invention is demonstrated. The same members as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. First, the tip member 412 is made of a transparent or colored synthetic resin, and is printed or transferred with a satin finish or opaque ink on the surface, and a transparent window portion 412H having a part thereof. Are formed at relative positions. Further, a key groove 412C that is cut out from the rear end and extends at the rear portion of the front member 412 is formed at a relative position. Further, the display member 30 is press-fitted and attached to the rotating member 214. The display member 30 is provided with a display 30A so that the rotation of the core 19 can be visually observed. The display 30A of the display member 30 is configured by printing, transferring, sealing, or the like. Although not shown, the display member may be integrated with the rotating member.

  The rotating member 214 is built in the tip member 412 and the protrusion 15G of the sliding member 15 is inserted into the key groove 412C of the tip member 412. Then, the tip member 412 is detachably screwed to the slide member 3 and attached. Then, the display 30 </ b> A formed on the display member 30 becomes visible from the window 412 </ b> H of the tip member 412. Therefore, the rotating member 214 can always be visually observed from the window 412H of the tip member 412.

  In addition, it is preferable to form the window part 412H of the front member 412 in the shape of a circumference, or to form two or more at equal intervals in the circumference direction.

  In the case of the mechanical pencil of Example 5, the display 30A indicating the rotation of the core 19 can be viewed through the window 412H of the tip member 412, and the advantage that the display 30A can be easily viewed during writing is obtained.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, In order to simplify description, members, such as a holding member, a front shaft, a tip member, a slide member, a fixed piece, a rotation member, a sliding member, and a connection tool. However, it is only necessary to integrate two or more members by screwing, press-fitting, or the like. Moreover, the core holder attached to the rotating member, the middle piece, and the core guide pipe is not limited to rubber, but a metal plate is formed in a cylindrical shape, and an elastic portion is formed in a part thereof, or the core holder is rotated. An elastic part may be formed on a part of the member, the middle piece, the core guide pipe, or the like to be integrated. Further, in the above embodiment, the vertical surface of the rear cam is positioned substantially at the center of the inclined surface of the front cam. This is for the sake of clarity, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. It is not limited, and when the inclined surfaces of the front cams that contact each other come into contact with each other, the contact surfaces of the rear cams that can contact each other are separated from each other and are approximately half the inclined surface dimension in the circumferential direction. It is only necessary that the front and rear cam inclined surfaces and the rear cam inclined surface are inclined in opposite directions with respect to the circumferential direction.

  The lead can be rotated by the forward / backward movement of the tip member by writing pressure, and can be applied to a mechanical pencil in which the forward / backward movement of the tip member can be selected by a lock mechanism.
