Description

  The present invention relates to a compound writing instrument in which a plurality of writing bodies are arranged in a shaft main body so as to be movable back and forth.

  As an example, a plurality of core shafts (writing bodies) having different writing colors are accommodated in the shaft tube, and an operation portion (slider) provided on each core shaft is exposed to the outside from the shaft tube. There is a writing instrument in which one of the core axes is selected and used depending on the part. The operation part of each core shaft is provided with a convex part or a concave part, and the tactile sensations are made different from each other by making the shape, number or position of the convex part or concave part in the operation part of each core axis different from each other. Therefore, it is possible to easily select the writing color.

Japanese Patent No. 3939196.

However, the conventional technique and the conventional writing instruments in which a plurality of writing bodies are arranged in the shaft main body (shaft cylinder) have a problem that it is difficult to determine the difference between the writing bodies.
That is, in the conventional compound writing instrument, when the writing type includes two different types (a combination of a ballpoint pen / sharp pen, a stylus pen, etc.) or when a plurality of types are included, the same type (same type) In the case of only consisting of, the difference in cursive letters was visually and tactilely judged, such as using an operation unit having the same color as the ink color, displaying the ball diameter, and using an operation unit having a different shape.
Visual judgment makes it impossible to select a dimly lit conference room using a projector or a cursive letter when you need to take notes quickly, such as scratching an electronic device that uses a stylus with a mechanical pencil, Writing mistakes with a black ballpoint pen and writing with a red ballpoint pen or mechanical pencil, or writing with a mechanical pencil and then erasing the document later, but writing with a ballpoint pen. There was a problem.
In tactile judgments with different shapes, the touch when touching the finger is poor depending on the shape of the operation unit, and even if the shape of the entire operation unit is different, the difference in shape is determined with one touch of the touched part of the finger. There is a problem that it is necessary to check the difference in shape by touching the entire operation unit, and it takes time to determine the difference in cursive.
Further, when the writing bodies are of the same type, for example, in the case of a ball-point pen, two or more writing bodies having different ink colors are often placed in the shaft body of the same dual writing instrument. In addition, there are cases where there are 10 or more types of ink colors of the cursive that can be used for the compound writing instrument, and there is a problem that it is not possible to immediately distinguish between colors that are frequently used and colors that are not. there were.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a plurality of writing bodies in the shaft main body so as to be movable back and forth, and connects the front end of the slider to the rear end of each writing body, and each slider is provided in the sliding groove provided in the shaft main body. And a reciprocating member that urges each of the writing bodies to the rear of the shaft body, and sets the spring constant of at least one of the repelling members. The gist is that it is different from other elastic members.

  In the present invention, a plurality of writing bodies are arranged in the shaft main body so as to be movable back and forth, the front end of the slider is connected to the rear end of each writing body, and each slider is moved back and forth in the sliding groove provided in the shaft main body. A dual-type writing instrument that is movably arranged, each of which is provided with an elastic member that urges each of the writing bodies to the rear of the shaft body, and the spring constant of at least one of the elastic members is changed to another Therefore, it is possible to identify one or more specific writing bodies according to the difference in operation feeling, and it becomes easy to use the composite writing instrument.

  The operation will be described. In the present invention, a plurality of writing bodies are arranged in the shaft main body so as to be movable back and forth, the front end of the slider is connected to the rear end of each writing body, and each slider is moved back and forth in the sliding groove provided in the shaft main body. A dual-type writing instrument that is movably arranged, each of which is provided with an elastic member that urges each of the writing bodies to the rear of the shaft body, and the spring constant of at least one of the elastic members is changed to another It is different from the elastic member. According to Hooke's law, the load P and the strain (deformation) δ are proportional to each other, so that the spring constant (proportional constant) k of the elastic member of a specific writing body or each elastic member of a plurality of writing bodies is different. By tightening, the strength (load) P can also be varied. Due to the difference in operational feeling due to the difference in strength (load) P, it is possible to identify one or more specific writing bodies in the composite writing instrument, and the composite writing instrument is easy to use.

Here, an example of means for making the spring constant k different will be described.
First, when the elastic member is a compression coil spring, the spring constant k is expressed by the following equation.
k = P / δ = Gd ⁴ / 8ND ³
The symbols of the above formula are as follows. P: Load, δ: Deflection, G: Transverse elastic modulus, d: Coil spring wire diameter, N: Effective number of turns, D: Coil average diameter The spring constant is the transverse elastic modulus G, wire diameter d, It is determined by the effective number of turns N and the average coil diameter D. When the transverse elastic modulus G and the wire diameter d of the coil spring are large, the spring constant becomes large. Conversely, if the effective number of turns N is large and the coil average diameter D is large, the spring constant k is small. The transverse elastic modulus G is a value specific to the material (the same value is used even for different materials). Due to the difference in the value of the transverse elastic modulus G, the spring constant is different even for springs manufactured with exactly the same dimensions. ) May be different.
In addition, as the elastic member, a torsion coil spring, a thin plate spring, or the like can be considered. The spring constants of these torsion coil springs and thin plate springs can be made different by changing the material diameter, the effective number of turns, the coil average diameter, the material plate thickness, and the plate width.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, the lower part is called the front and the upper part is called the rear. An example is a multi-core writing instrument (double writing instrument) in which a ballpoint pen refill composed of two colors, black and red, and a mechanical pencil unit are slidably arranged. In addition, as a writing body arrange | positioned in the axis | shaft main body (shaft cylinder) of a compound type writing instrument, not only a mechanical pencil unit and a ball-point pen refill but a stylus pen, a stick-shaped eraser feeding body (refill), etc. may be sufficient, for example.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a shaft main body (shaft cylinder), and the shaft main body 1 includes a front shaft 2 and a rear shaft 3. Further, in this example, the front shaft 2 is configured by a screwed structure of the tip member 4 and the middle shaft 5, but may be press-fitted by uneven fitting or may be integrally formed. However, considering the ease of exchanging the cursive and the molding described later, it is better to use two members and fix them detachably. In addition, a conical portion 4a whose diameter gradually decreases toward the distal end side is formed in the inner diameter portion of the tip member 4. A protruding hole 4b in which the cursive body appears and disappears is formed at the tip of the tip member 4. In addition, since a plurality of flat portions 4c that are long in the longitudinal direction of the shaft body 1 are formed in the inner diameter portion of the tip member 4, when the shaft body 1 (the tip member 4) is transparent, the flat portion 4c. By the lens effect obtained by the above, it is possible to easily identify the color of the mechanical pencil unit and the ballpoint pen refill disposed inside, and a high-quality feeling can be obtained (see FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIG. 29). In this embodiment, the shaft body 1 is made of a transparent or colored translucent material. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shaft body may be made of a colored and opaque material.

The rear shaft 3 is formed with three slits 6 in the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 5). In this example, three slits 6 are formed, because the number of ballpoint pen refills that are cursive letters is two and the number of mechanical pencil units is one, depending on the number of cursive letters. The number of slits formed also varies. Further, the slit 6 is formed up to one end portion of the rear shaft 3, and sliding grooves 7 are formed substantially in a straight line on both sides of the slit 6. The rear shaft 3 is formed with a slide surface 3a having substantially the same length as the slide groove 7 in the longitudinal direction. However, the sliding groove 7 and the sliding surface 3a are not formed over the entire length of both sides of the slit 6, but are formed only up to the middle portion. The slide surface 3a receives the back surface of a slide projection 12 described later. Further, a narrow slit portion 6a having a narrower width than the sliding groove 7 of the slit 6 is formed (see FIG. 6).
In front of the rear shaft 3, leg portions 8 having a semicircular shape with a cross-sectional shape having an arcuate portion on the outside are formed at intervals of 120 degrees. The leg portion 8 is formed by forming the slit 6. Therefore, the number of legs 8 varies depending on the number of cursive letters. The circumscribed circle diameter of the leg portion 8 is formed smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the rear shaft 3 (see FIG. 7).
Reference numeral 9 denotes a clip portion formed integrally with the rear shaft 3, but it may be formed of a separate member and fixed to the rear shaft 3. Reference numeral 10 denotes a ball portion formed on the front inner surface of the clip portion 9, and the ball portion 10 is in contact with the surface of the middle shaft 5.

A slider 11 made of a transparent or colored translucent material is slidably disposed in the slit 6 of the rear shaft 3. The slider 11 includes a slider 11B for ballpoint pen refill and a slider 11S for a mechanical pencil unit. Here, the slider 11B for ballpoint pen refill will be described in detail. Sliding projections 12 are formed on both sides of the slider 11B in the longitudinal direction, and are slidably engaged with sliding grooves 7 formed in the slit 6 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). . The engagement relationship between the sliding protrusion 12 and the sliding groove 7 is the same for both the ballpoint pen refill slider 11B and the mechanical pencil unit slider 11S. Two release projections 13 and 14 are formed on the back surface of the slider 11B with an extension 111 therebetween. In the present embodiment, the side surface of the slider 11B does not have a hole 11Sf like a mechanical pencil slider 11S described later (see FIGS. 8 and 9).
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification, three holes 11Sf may be provided on the side surface of the slider 11B (see FIGS. 10 and 11). When the holes 11Sf are provided, the three holes 11Sf provided on the side surface of the slider 11B are constituted by through holes and non-through holes. Specifically, the hole 11Sf formed in the vicinity of the release protrusion 13 and the hole 11Sf formed in the vicinity of the release protrusion 14 are through-holes penetrating the extension portion 111, A hole 11Sf formed in the front portion of the slider 11B is a non-through hole (see FIG. 10). And although the hole 11Sf which is the said through-hole is located in the narrow slit part 6a, the half of the hole 11Sf is exposed from the narrow slit part 6a. By exposing about half of the hole 11Sf from the narrow slit 6a, dust and dust stored in the hole 11Sf can be efficiently discharged from both openings of the hole 11Sf. On the other hand, a part of the hole 11 </ b> Sf that is a non-through hole is located in the sliding protrusion 12. That is, a part of the sliding protrusion 12 is notched by the hole 11Sf. As a result, elasticity is generated in the front portion of the sliding projection 12, and a smooth sliding operation can be obtained even if some dimensional variation occurs.
In addition, a fine protrusion is formed on the circumference substantially at the center of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 11Sf. By forming protrusions on the inner peripheral surface on the circumference, when the slider is a resin molded product, the moldability can be improved as described later.
In this example, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the hole 11Sf is circular, but may be an ellipse, a triangle, a square, a polygon, or a combination thereof, but when the slider 11S is a molded product, Considering its formability, the round shape is good. The number of holes 11Sf is three in this example, but may be one, four, five, or the like.

Then, one end portion (rear portion 15a) of the connecting member 15 having a color substantially the same as the color of the ink stored in the later-described cursive body is detachably inserted into the hole 11a of the slider 11B. A cylindrical ball-point refill 16B made of a resin material such as polypropylene or nylon is connected to the other end portion (front portion 15b) of the connecting member 15 (see FIG. 9).
The ballpoint pen refill 16B includes an ink storage tube (pipe portion) 16Ba formed by extrusion molding of a resin material such as polypropylene that stores ink, and a ballpoint pen tip (writing portion) press-fitted in front of the ink storage tube 16Ba. ) 16Bb and the like (see FIG. 12). Since it is press-fitted into the ink storage tube 16Ba, the outer diameter of the ballpoint pen tip 16Bb is smaller than the outer diameter of the ink storage tube 16Ba. For this reason, a step portion is formed at the front end portion of the ink storage tube 16Ba. Here, the front end portion of the ink storage tube 16Ba is 16Bf. A distance from the front end portion of the tip member 4 to the front end portion (stepped portion) 16Bf of the ballpoint pen refill 16B in the immersed state is A (FIG. 4).
Here, since the slider 11B is formed of a transparent or colored translucent material, the color and display of the connection member 15 located inside the slider 11B can be easily identified. In addition, since the slider 11B has a flat surface portion 11b and a curved surface portion 11c, the color of the connecting member 15 can be more easily identified by the lens effect obtained thereby (FIG. 13).
The slider 11B is not limited to a transparent or colored translucent material, and may be formed from a colored opaque material. In the case of a colored opaque member, the color of the ball-point pen refill 16B can be visually identified by attaching the ball-point refill 16B containing ink of substantially the same color as the colored color. In this embodiment, the connecting member 15B is interposed between the ballpoint pen refill 16B and the slider 11B. However, the connecting member 15B may be formed integrally with the slider 11B. Also in this case, the color of the ball-point pen refill 16B can be visually identified by attaching the ball-point refill 16B to the slider 11B having substantially the same color as the color of the built-in ink.

  A large-diameter portion 15c is formed in the intermediate portion of the connecting member 15, and excessive insertion of the rear portion 15a into the hole 11a and excessive insertion of the front portion 15b into the writing body 16B are prevented. In addition, a circumferential fitting protrusion 15d is formed on the rear portion 15a of the connecting member 15 in order to improve the insertion and fitting of the slider 11B into the hole 11a, while the front portion 15b A flat surface portion 15e is formed for air to enter the ballpoint pen refill 16B. The flat portion 15e is formed in four directions with an angle of 90 degrees. That is, the cross-sectional shape of the front portion 15b of the connection member 15 is a square shape. The four flat portions 15e are partially formed with protrusions 15f and 15g in order to obtain a good engagement / fitting force with the ballpoint pen refill 16B, but the protrusions do not overlap each other. . That is, each protrusion 15f formed on the four flat portions 15e is formed at a different position with respect to the longitudinal direction and the circumferential direction (see FIG. 14). More specifically, a protrusion 15g is formed opposite to the protrusion 15f formed at the front facing position and at an angle of 90 degrees with the protrusion 15f at the rear (see FIGS. 15 and 16). reference). The air penetrating the inside of the ballpoint pen refill 16B due to the consumption of the ink is ensured, and the drop-off from the connecting member 15 due to plastic deformation of the ink containing tube 16Ba made of a resin material is prevented. That is, the ball-point pen refill 16B swells in an elliptical shape by the protrusion 15f formed in the front (the bulging part 16Bc and the ink storage tube are omitted), and the bulging part is formed by the protrusion 15g formed in the rear. The bulging portion 16Bd is also formed at an angle of 90 degrees. That is, while the bulging direction and the 90-degree rotated direction are reduced in diameter, the inner surface of the ink storage tube 16Ba bites into the protrusions 15f and 15g. As the engaging portion becomes stronger, the relative rotation between the connecting member 15 and the ink containing tube 16Ba is prevented (see FIGS. 17 and 18; the dotted line 16Be in the figure indicates the inner surface of the original ballpoint pen refill 16B). Shape.)

The protrusions 15f and 15g have an arrow shape in cross section, but the insertion side of the protrusion 15f located on the front side to the ballpoint pen refill 16 is formed at an obtuse angle (α). The separation side is formed at an acute angle (β). Incidentally, in this example, the insertion side is formed at about 150 degrees and the separation side is formed at 70 degrees (see FIG. 16).
An extension portion 11d that holds an outer diameter portion of an elastic member 17B, which will be described later, is formed at the front end portion of the slider 11B (see FIG. 8). The length between the extended portions 11d is formed to be slightly shorter than the outer diameter of a later-described elastic member 17B, whereby the elastic member 17B is press-fitted into the extended portion 11d. That is, even when the ballpoint pen refill 16B is replaced, the elastic member 17B is prevented from being detached from the front end portion of the slider 11B. Further, the insertion force (fitting force) of the slider 11B to the connection member 15 (rear part 15a) is set to be weaker than the insertion force (fitting force) of the ball pen refill 16B to the connection member 15 (front part 15b). That is, when the ball-point refill 16B is to be separated from the slider 11B, the ball-point refill 16B is detached from the slider 11B in a state where the ball-point refill 16B and the connection member 15 are coupled. Reference numeral 17B denotes a ball-point refill 16B and a resilient member such as a coil spring that urges the slider 11B connected to the ball-point refill 16B backward (see FIG. 3). The elastic member 17B has a higher spring constant than the elastic member 17S such as a coil spring that urges the slider 11S connected to the mechanical pencil unit 16S and the core tank 161 to be described later.

  Next, the middle shaft 5 will be specifically described. A restricting portion 18 is formed in an intermediate portion of the middle shaft 5 which is one member of the front shaft 2, and three through holes 19 into which the writing bodies 16 </ b> B and 16 </ b> S are loosely inserted are formed in the restricting portion 18. The curling bodies 16B and 16S are urged rearward by locking the ends of the elastic members 17B and 17S to the restricting portion 18. In addition, three grooves 20 are formed in the longitudinal direction inside the middle shaft 5 and behind the restricting portion 18, and the legs 8 of the rear shaft 3 are slidably contacted with the grooves 20. 8 is guided. Further, the groove portion 20 has substantially the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the leg portion 8. That is, it has a half-moon shape having an arc portion on the outside.

Next, the mechanical pencil slider 11S will be described in detail. Sliding projections 12 are formed on both sides of the slider 11S in the longitudinal direction, and are slidably engaged with sliding grooves 7 formed in the slit 6 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). . Two release projections 13 and 14 are formed on the back surface of the slider 11S with an extension 111 therebetween, as shown in FIG. Further, three holes 11Sf are provided on the side surface of the slider 11S, and these are constituted by through holes and non-through holes. Specifically, the hole 11Sf formed in the vicinity of the release protrusion 13 and the hole 11Sf formed in the vicinity of the release protrusion 14 are through-holes penetrating the extension portion 111, A hole 11Sf formed in the front portion of the slider 11 is a non-through hole. And although the hole 11Sf which is the said through-hole is located in the narrow slit part 6a, the half of the hole 11Sf is exposed from the narrow slit part 6a. By exposing about half of the hole 11Sf from the narrow slit 6a, dust and dust stored in the hole 11Sf can be efficiently discharged from both openings of the hole 11Sf. On the other hand, a part of the hole 11 </ b> Sf that is a non-through hole is located in the sliding protrusion 12. That is, a part of the sliding protrusion 12 is notched by the hole 11Sf. As a result, elasticity is generated in the front portion of the sliding projection 12, and a smooth sliding operation can be obtained even if some dimensional variation occurs. In addition, a fine protrusion is formed on the circumference substantially at the center of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 11Sf. By forming protrusions on the inner peripheral surface on the circumference, when the slider is a resin molded product, the moldability can be improved as described later.
In this example, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the hole 11Sf is circular, but may be an ellipse, a triangle, a square, a polygon, or a combination thereof, but when the slider 11S is a molded product, Considering its formability, the round shape is good. The number of holes 11Sf is three in this example, but may be one, four, five, or the like.
Further, an arc portion 11Sg, which is a part of the circumference, is formed between the front end surface of the sliding projection 12 and the rear cylinder portion 25 described later in order to hold the inner diameter portion of the elastic member 17S described later. ing. The circular arc part 11Sg is also formed at opposing positions, and there are two places. (See FIG. 19. The arc portion 11Sg at the opposite position is not shown). The radius of the arc portion 11Sg is formed to be slightly larger than the radius of the inner diameter of an elastic member 17S, which will be described later, whereby the elastic member 17S is pressed into the arc portion 11Sg. Reference numeral 17S denotes an elastic member such as a coil spring that urges the slider 11S connected to the mechanical pencil unit 16S and the lead tank 161 backward (see FIG. 3). The elastic member 17S has a lower spring constant than the elastic member 17B such as a coil spring that urges the ball pen refill 16B and the slider 11B connected to the ball pen refill 16B backward.
Further, in this embodiment, the elastic member 17S is made of a coil spring, and both end portions of the elastic member 17S are provided with end winding portions (both end end winding portions), and at the two intermediate positions. Part (intermediate end turn part) is provided (see FIG. 3). In this way, by providing an intermediate end winding portion at least at one location, the effective winding portion other than the end winding portion is divided and shortened to prevent the effective winding portion from bulging and bending in the radial direction. I can do it. Further, it is possible to prevent poor operability due to rubbing between the elastic members and other parts, scratches, and abnormal noise due to rubbing, and to use the mechanical pencil unit satisfactorily. The elastic member having the intermediate winding is useful for the ball pen refill, and the same effect can be obtained. However, in the case of the mechanical pencil unit, the mechanical pencil unit is compared with the case of the ball pen refill. Since the pressing operation for paying out the core is required even after the selection / projection and locking, the elastic member 17S having the intermediate winding portion is more useful.
Further, in the elastic member 17S, the end winding portions (intermediate end winding portions) provided at two intermediate positions may be different from each other so that the number of turns is larger than the end winding portions (both end end winding portions) provided at both ends. good. Increasing the number of windings of the intermediate counterwinding portion over the both end wound portions can prevent the elastic members from being entangled in the single state of the elastic member before assembly. In the case of a mechanical pencil unit, the length of the elastic member is longer than in the case of a ballpoint pen refill because it requires a pressing operation to pay out the lead even after the mechanical pencil unit is selected / projected and locked. Become. Therefore, increasing the number of intermediate end windings is useful for preventing entanglement of the elastic members at the center. In this embodiment, the both end wound portions are 3 turns each, and the intermediate end wound portion is 4 turns each.

A connecting portion 21 for connecting a core tank 161 of a mechanical pencil unit 16S described later is formed in front of the mechanical pencil slider 11S (see FIGS. 19 to 22 and FIG. 28). The connecting portion 21 will be described in detail. The connecting portion 21 includes a pyramid-shaped front cylindrical portion 22 having an inclined surface 22a that gradually changes in diameter from a circular shape to an octagonal shape from the front end toward the rear, and its A groove 23 is formed behind the front cylinder 22 and having a smaller diameter than the outer shape of the front cylinder 22. Here, the shape of the front cylinder portion 22 is an octagon, but the shape is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the connection with the core tank 161 described later is a point contact. For example, it may be a quadrangular shape, a pentagonal shape, a decagonal shape, a dodecagonal shape, or the like. Further, an inclined surface 24 whose diameter increases toward the rear is formed behind the groove portion 23, and a rear cylinder portion 25 is formed behind the inclined surface 24.
The slider 11S is formed with a substantially hemispherical flange portion 11Sd having a width larger than the width of the slit 6. By widening the flange portion 11Sd, the projecting operation of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is improved and the centering operation can be easily performed. In the centering operation, the slider 11S moves in the axial direction of the rear shaft 3. To avoid being immersed.

The mechanical pencil unit 16S also includes a core tank 161 that contains a plurality of cores and is formed of a metal material, and a chuck that holds and opens the cores that are attached to the front of the core tank 161 via a joint member 162. A body 163, a chuck ring 164 surrounding the front of the chuck body 163 and opening and closing the chuck body 163, a guide cylinder 165 arranged to cover the chuck body 163, and the guide cylinder 165 and the guide cylinder 165 It is arranged between the joint member 162 and an elastic member 166 made of a coil spring or the like that biases the chuck body 163 and the core tank 161 backward. Further, a tip member 167 is detachably attached to the tip of the guide tube 165 by means such as screwing, and the rearward movement of the lead core is restricted inside the tip member 167. A core detent member 168 made of a rubber-like elastic body is provided.
The material of the joint member 162, the guide tube 165, and the tip member 167 of the exterior parts constituting the mechanical pencil unit 16S may be subjected to surface treatment such as plating on a metal such as brass, or a resin molded product such as polyacetal or nylon But it ’s okay.
Since the tip member 167 protrudes from the tip of the shaft body 1 and is easily visible, the metal material is preferably plated, and the joint member 162 and the guide tube 165 slide with each other by a core feeding operation described later. It is better to use polyacetal or nylon resin with lubricity. In this case, the joint member 162 and the guide tube 165 may be made of the same resin. However, when the resin is different, for example, polyacetal or nylon resin, the slidability of the core feeding operation is improved. When using the same resin, use different grades. Thus, by making a hardness difference between the members that slide with each other, the slidability is improved.

The configuration of each member constituting the mechanical pencil unit S will be described in detail.
The lead tank 161 and the joint member 162 are connected by a connecting portion 162a provided behind the joint member 162 being fitted into the lead tank 161, and the fitting is provided in front of the connecting portion 162a. When the front end portion of the core tank 161 comes into contact with the end surface of the rear step portion 162bA of the large diameter portion 162b, the fitting is completed.
The guide cylinder 165 is formed such that the rear portion of the guide cylinder 165 has a large-diameter portion 165a, a taper portion 165b and a small-diameter portion 165c. The outer diameter of the rear end of the small diameter portion 165c or the tapered portion 165b is larger than the reduced diameter portion 162c of the joint member 162 and is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 162b of the joint member 162. The small diameter portion 165c may or may not be provided, but the tapered portion 165b is necessary. This is because when a later-described mechanical pencil unit 16S is housed in the shaft body 1, the front end portion 16Bf of the ink housing tube 16Ba is smoothly housed so as not to be caught by the guide tube 165 and become a resistance. That is, when the mechanical pencil unit 16S is housed in the shaft body 1, the slider 11B is pressed by causing the release protrusions 13 and 14 formed on the back surfaces of the sliders 11S and 11B to collide with each other. 11S is disengaged. At this time, since the slider 11B slightly presses the slider 11S which is another slider, the pressed writing body may advance by that amount and come into contact with the guide cylinder. However, even if another cursive body comes into contact with the guide cylinder of the mechanical pencil unit, the taper portion 165b is present, so there is no rubbing resistance due to the front end portion 16Bf of the ball pen refill 16B, and the backward movement of the mechanical pencil unit 16S. (Storing) can be performed smoothly.
Furthermore, the elastic member 166 rubs against other writing bodies in the process of moving in and out of the mechanical pencil unit 16S and in the process of feeding out the core, and the sliding operation feeling becomes worse or the operation suddenly becomes heavy. In order to prevent this, it is preferable to arrange the guide tube 165 inside.

  Next, the connecting portion between the mechanical pencil slider 11S and the mechanical pencil unit 16S (core tank 161) will be described in detail. The connecting portion 21 of the slider 11S is inserted into the rear end portion of the lead tank 161, and the inclined surface 22a of the front tube portion 22 and the lead tank 161 are interposed between the front tube portion 22 and the lead tank 161 of the slider 11S. A front space 26 is formed by the inner surface. In addition, by setting the outer shape of the rear cylinder portion 25 to be smaller than the inner shape of the core tank 161, the rear space portion 27 is formed with each dimensional difference. A gap 30 is formed at the rear end of the slider 11S and the lead tank 161. In this state, the outside of the core tank 161 near the groove 23 of the slider 11S is caulked so as to be reduced in the radial direction (caulking portion 28). The caulking portion 28 is caulked circumferentially in this example, but may be caulked partially. The core tank 161 is fixed by this caulking portion 28 without dropping from the slider 11S. Further, the inner surface of the core tank 161 and the rear end portion of the front cylindrical portion 22 are in point contact since the shape of the rear end portion is an octagon. Further, the mechanical pencil unit 16S is rotatably connected by the front space portion 26, the rear space portion 27, and the gap 30. Here, the front cylinder portion 22 of the slider 11S is inclined by reducing the diameter toward the front, but this is a guide portion when the lead tank 161 is inserted. By securing the length of the front cylindrical portion 22 to some extent, it plays a role as an inner surface guide when caulking the lead tank 161 at the same time as the guide when the lead tank 161 is inserted. The clearance 30 is set so that the mechanical pencil unit 16S can be rotated with respect to the slider 11S, and the rear end surface of the lead tank 161 is not in contact with the rear end surface of the connecting portion 21 of the slider 11S during the rotation. Has been. As a result, the mechanical pencil unit 16S can be smoothly rotated, and the in / out operation can be easily performed. Further, the rotation range of the mechanical pencil unit 16 </ b> S is regulated by the rear end inner surface of the lead tank 161 contacting the surface of the rear cylinder part 25. When the slider 11S is pressed forward by this contact, the inner surface portion of the rear end of the lead tank 161 acts so as to bite the rear cylinder portion 25, and the mechanical pencil is surely moved without losing the forward movement of the slider 11S. It can be transmitted to the unit 16S (core tank 161).

The configuration of the connecting portion between the mechanical pencil slider 11S and the mechanical pencil unit 16S (core tank 161) is not limited to the point contact configuration described above.
For example, the lead tank 161 is bent in the vicinity of the connecting portion 21 in front of the mechanical pencil slider 11S (bending portion 161b; see FIGS. 23A and 23B) and mounted on the shaft body 1. The front part of the mechanical pencil unit 16S may be directed in the direction of the central axis of the shaft body 1. In this case, the lead tank 161 may be detachably fixed to the connecting portion 21 of the slider 11S by means such as adhesion.
Further, a core tank 161 of a cylindrical mechanical pencil unit 16S made of a resin material such as polypropylene or nylon or a metal material is connected to the connecting portion 21 by a caulking process (caulking portion 161a) in a non-rotatable manner. good. The caulking portion 161a is formed over the circumference. Of course, it may be caulked from a plurality of directions and can be appropriately selected. It may be detachable and inserted so as not to rotate.
Alternatively, the connecting portion 21 may be bent so that the front of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is directed toward the center (see FIGS. 24 and 25). More specifically, the connecting part 21 of the slider 11S is bent at an angle with respect to the rear base part excluding the connecting part 21 of the slider 11S.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 26 to 29, and 32. When the slider 11S is pressed forward (in the diagonally upper left direction in FIG. 26), the slider 11S is guided by the slit 6 and the sliding groove 7 and the slit 6a of the rear shaft 3, and the mechanical repelling member 17S is compressed and deformed while the mechanical pencil is being deformed. It advances with the unit 16S, and the tip of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the tip of the shaft body 1 (see FIG. 28). At the same time, the slider 11S is pushed in the axial direction, which is the inner side of the rear shaft 3, but the flange portion 11Sd abuts on the outer peripheral surfaces on both sides of the slit 6 of the rear shaft 3, and the pushing of the slider 11S is restricted. Next, the rear end (upward in FIG. 27) of the sliding protrusion 12 formed on the side surface portion of the slider 11S engages with the front end portion of the sliding groove 7 to prevent the mechanical pencil unit 16S from retreating, The forward position of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is maintained. That is, by forming the sliding groove 7 only up to the middle portion of the slit 6, the slider 11S is also engaged.
In the projecting process of the mechanical pencil unit 16S, the rear portion of the slider 11S sinks in the direction of the central axis of the shaft main body 1, and the front portion of the mechanical pencil unit 16S attempts to approach the inner wall surface of the shaft main body 1. Since the mechanical pencil unit 16S is rotatably connected at the rear part thereof, the front part of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes while maintaining a straight line.
Here, as described above, the elastic member 17S of the mechanical pencil unit 16S has a lower spring constant than the elastic member 17B of the ballpoint pen refill 16B, and thus is stronger than the elastic member 17B of the ballpoint refill 16B ( (Load) becomes low. Therefore, the operational feeling when the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the shaft body 1 is lighter than the operational feeling when the ball pen refill 16B protrudes from the shaft body 1. As described above, the difference in the writing style can be easily identified by using the ball pen refill 16B and the mechanical pencil unit 16S with different operational feelings during the protruding operation, and the dual writing instrument can be easily used.
Further, the mechanical pencil unit 16S is more advanced than the ballpoint pen refill 16B from the forward position where the tip of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the distal end of the shaft body 1, and the lead for pressing the slider 11S in the forward direction. The operation is necessary, and the distance (stroke) and the number of times that the elastic member 17S is biased (compressed) are large. Therefore, since the spring load can be lowered when the spring constant is smaller, the lead knocking pressure of the lead is lowered and the operation becomes easier.
Note that the distance from the front end of the tip member 4 at this time to the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b is B (see FIG. 29). In the protruding state of the mechanical pencil unit 16S, the front step portion 162bB of the mechanical pencil unit is located behind the front end portion (step portion) 16Bf of the ball-pen refill 16B (B> A).
Here, when the upper end 11Se of the flange portion 11Sd of the slider 11S is pressed forward in the forward position where the tip of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the tip of the shaft body 1, the tip member 167 of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is The tip member 4 abuts on the conical portion 4a whose diameter gradually decreases toward the tip end side of the inner diameter portion, and the mechanical pencil unit 16S is prevented from moving forward. The outer peripheral surface of the tip member 167 has a plurality of step portions, and the outer diameter of the tip member 167 on the rear side is larger than the outer diameter of the tip member 167 on the front side in each step portion. . For this reason, when the mechanical pencil unit 16S is advanced, the tip member 167 of the mechanical pencil unit 16S comes into contact with the tip member 4 of the shaft body 1. Here, when the slider 11S is further pressed, the lead tank 161 and the chuck body 163 move forward against the elastic force of the elastic member 166, and the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b is moved to the guide tube 165. The advancing is completed by abutting the rear end of the small-diameter portion 165c, and this is a stroke of the lead feeding and pressing operation. The reduced diameter portion 162c of the joint member 162 is accommodated inside the guide tube 165 (the distance from the front end of the tip member 4 to the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b is C). (FIG. 32)). As a result, the lead is extended. At this time, as described above, the rotation range of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is restricted by the rear end inner surface portion of the lead tank 161 coming into contact with the surface of the rear cylinder portion 25, and this contact pushes the slider 11S forward. When this occurs, the inner surface of the rear end of the lead tank 161 acts so that the rear cylinder part 25 bites, and the forward movement of the slider 11S is reliably transmitted to the mechanical pencil unit 16S (lead tank 161) without loss. It can be done. Even in the maximum advance state of the mechanical pencil unit when the lead is pushed out, the front step portion 162bB of the mechanical pencil unit is located behind the front end portion (step portion) 16Bf of the ball pen refill 16B. (C> A).
In the course of the center feeding operation, the flange portion 11Sd of the slider 11S is in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rear shaft 3. In the present invention, when the slider 11S is moved back and forth during the lead feeding operation process, the slider 11B is not involved with the slider 11B of another ballpoint pen refill. That is, the slider 11S and the mechanical pencil unit provided in front of the slider 11S move back and forth independently. For this reason, at the time of the lead feeding operation, the ball pen refill (other writing bodies excluding the mechanical pencil unit) does not move slightly back and forth. When the lead of the mechanical pencil unit is extended, only the mechanical pencil unit moves back and forth with respect to the shaft body 1. As described above, only the mechanical pencil unit moves back and forth with respect to the shaft main body 1, so that the core feeding operation load does not increase and a satisfactory core feeding operation can be performed.

Next, when the mechanical pencil unit 16S is to be stored in the shaft body 1, the other slider 11B is pressed. When the other slider 11B is pressed, the release protrusions 13 and 14 formed on the back surfaces of the sliders 11S and 11B collide with each other. By this collision action, the slider 11 </ b> S being pressed is pressed toward the outside of the rear shaft 3. Then, by this pressing action, the engagement between the sliding projection 12 and the sliding groove 7 of the slider 11S is released, and the mechanical pencil unit 16S which is in the protruding state by the releasing action is caused by the action of the elastic member 17S. The slider 11S moves backward and is immersed in the shaft body 1, and the slider 11S returns to the original retracted position.
FIG. 26B illustrates a state in which the slider 11S has advanced. In this state, the rear shaft 3 has a large space portion including the slit 6 and the narrow slit portion 6a. In this state, as a matter of course, if the lead feeding operation is further performed, foreign matter such as dust and dirt can easily enter the space. As a result, foreign matter such as dust and dust is likely to stick to the wall surfaces of the slit 6 and the narrow slit portion 6a and the slide surface 3a.
However, since the slit 6 is close to the outer peripheral surface, it is easy to remove foreign matters such as dust and dust, and since the slide surface 3a slides while the back surface of the sliding projection 12 is in contact, foreign matters such as dust and dust are easily scraped off. It has become. However, since the narrow slit portion 6a is located in the vicinity of the axial center, it is difficult to remove foreign matters such as dust and dirt. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the hole 11Sf of the slider 11S is removed so as to scrape off dust and dirt from the narrow slit portion 6a by the retreating operation of housing the mechanical pencil unit 16S in the shaft body 1, and the hole 11Sf. The foreign material scraped off is stored. And after storing, it discharges | emits from the part exposed from the narrow slit part 6a of the hole 11Sf.

In the process of projecting and retracting the mechanical pencil unit 16S and the process of extending the core, it is important that when the mechanical pencil unit 16S is in the protruding state, the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b of the joint member 162 is the front end of the ink containing tube 16Ba. It is configured to be positioned behind the portion (stepped portion) 16Bf. That is, the front step portion of the mechanical pencil unit 16S in the process of projecting and retracting the mechanical pencil unit 16S and the process of extending the core more than the distance A from the front end portion of the tip member 4 of the stepped portion 16Bf of the immersed ball pen refill. The relationship that the distances B and C from the front end portion of the tip member of 162bB are always larger is satisfied (see FIGS. 29 to 32). This is to prevent the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b from rubbing against the front end portion 16Bf to deteriorate the feeling of sliding operation.
As described above, the lead-out operation is performed by pressing the upper portion 11Se of the flange portion 11Sd of the slider 11S in the forward direction at the forward movement position where the tip of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the tip of the shaft body 1. The tip member 167 of the pencil unit 16S comes into contact with the conical portion 4a whose diameter gradually decreases toward the distal end side of the inner diameter portion of the tip member 4, and the forward movement of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is prevented. Here, when the slider 11S is further pressed, the lead tank 161 and the chuck body 163 move forward against the elastic force of the elastic member 166, and the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b is moved to the guide tube 165. The advancing is completed by abutting the rear end of the small-diameter portion 165c, and this is a stroke of the lead feeding and pressing operation. The reduced diameter portion 162c of the joint member 162 is just accommodated inside the guide tube 165 (see FIG. 32). As a result, the lead is extended. Accordingly, even in the course of the lead feeding operation, the front step portion 162bB of the large diameter portion 162b does not rub against the front end portion 16Bf and the sliding operation feeling is not deteriorated, and the sliding operation feeling can be kept good. .
A step portion is also formed on the tip member 167, but since it is a tip portion, it does not rub against other cursive bodies. (See Figure 29)
In the present embodiment, the large diameter portion 162b of the joint member 162 is behind the front end portion 16bf of the ink containing tube 16Ba of the ballpoint pen refill 16B in the process of extending and retracting the mechanical pencil unit 16S and the process of extending the core. Therefore, not only the front step portion 162bB but also the rear step portion 162bA does not rub against the front end portion 16bf of the ink containing tube 16Ba. Therefore, the ball-point pen refill 16B is not caught by the rear step portion 162bA of the joint member 162 when the mechanical pencil unit 16S is immersed or retracted in the lead-out process, and the sliding operation feeling is also good in this respect. . Further, since there is no increase in the core feeding operation load that occurs when the ballpoint pen refill 16B is caught by the rear step portion 162bA of the joint member 162, the sliding operation can be performed satisfactorily.

Furthermore, a modified example of the elastic member 17 will be described (the elastic member is collectively referred to as “17”). This modification is an example in which the difference in spring constant in the first embodiment is reversed. In the first embodiment, the elastic constant of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is lower than that of the elastic member 17B of the ballpoint refill 16B. In this modified example, the elastic constant of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is higher than that of the elastic member 17B of the ballpoint pen refill 16B.
Therefore, similarly to the first embodiment, the difference in operation feeling can easily identify the difference between the writing bodies, and the dual writing instrument can be easily used. Further, at the forward position (see FIG. 28) where the tip of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the tip of the shaft body 1 (see FIG. 28), the rear end of the sliding projection 12 formed on the side surface of the slider 11S (upward in FIG. 27). ) Is engaged with the front end of the sliding groove 7 (the same applies to the ballpoint pen refill 16B). This engagement is not released because it is pressed by the elastic member 17S compressed in the process in which the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes (the same applies to the ballpoint pen refill 16B). In the case of the mechanical pencil unit 16S, there is a lead feeding pressing operation for further operating the slider 11S in the forward direction from the forward position where the distal end of the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the distal end of the shaft body 1. Therefore, if the spring constant of the elastic member 17S of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is high, after the pressing operation for feeding out the core, the rear end of the sliding projection 12 of the slider 11S and the engaging portion of the sliding groove 7 are impacted by the release of the pressing. The forward movement position where the mechanical pencil unit 16S protrudes from the front end of the shaft body 1 is maintained without being disengaged.
In this embodiment, the spring constant of the elastic member 17B of the ballpoint pen refill 16B is set lower than the spring constant of the elastic member 17S of the mechanical pencil unit 16S. When the tip of the ballpoint pen refill 16B is housed in the shaft main body 1 from the forward position where it protrudes from the tip of the shaft main body 1, the engagement between the sliding protrusion 12 and the sliding groove 7 of the slider 11B is released, and the releasing action thereof. The ball-point pen refill 16B in a protruding state is retracted by the action of the elastic member 17B and is immersed in the shaft body 1, and the slider 11B returns to the original retracted position. Since the spring constant is lowered, the impact when returning to the retracted position is weakened, the impact is not propagated to the ballpoint pen refill 16B, the ink and the grease are reversed, and it is possible to prevent problems such as ink leakage. I can do it.

Next, a second embodiment of the elastic member 17 will be described. This modification is an example in which the spring constants of at least one elastic member of the writing body in the writing body placed in the shaft body (shaft tube) of the dual-type writing instrument are limited to the same type (FIG. 2). Not shown). As an example, three ballpoint pen refills 16B are arranged on the dual-type writing instrument of the first embodiment, and the colors of these inks are all made different to black, red, and blue. Also, the slider 11B is made of a colored opaque member, and the color of each slider 11B is substantially the same as the color of the ink of the ballpoint pen refill 16B. Among them, the color of a specific ink, in this embodiment, only the elastic member 17 of the ball-point refill 16B of black ink, which is frequently used, is differentiated so as to increase the spring constant.
Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the operational feeling is different, so that the black ink of the ball pen refill 16B that is frequently used can be easily identified, and the dual writing instrument can be easily used.
In addition, as described above, the color of each slider 11B is substantially the same as the color of the ink of the ballpoint pen refill 16B, and the sliders 11B and 11S are replaced with the ballpoint pen refill 16B and the mechanical pencil unit 11S as in the first embodiment. Each cursive letter can be identified visually.

In this embodiment, when the slider 11B is formed of a transparent or colored translucent material and the connecting member 15 is substantially the same color as the color of the ink, the color of the user's favorite ink is selected. It can be made identifiable.
That is, as described in the first embodiment, the ballpoint pen refill 16B is configured to be detachable / replaceable from the slider 11B in a state where the connection member 15 is coupled. For this reason, not only does it identify black that is frequently used, but even if the user replaces it with his favorite ink color or cursive, it can be easily identified by the difference in operation feeling, It becomes easy to use a double writing instrument.
In this case as well, each cursive body can be identified visually by the color of each connecting member 15 and the difference between the shape of the sliders 11B and 11S of the ballpoint pen refill 16B and the mechanical pencil unit 11S.

Next, a third embodiment of the elastic member 17 will be described. This modification is an example in which the spring constants of all elastic members arranged in the shaft main body (shaft tube) of the dual-type writing instrument are made different (not shown). As an example, in the dual writing instrument of the first embodiment, the spring constant of the elastic member 17 is all different. The cursive body is provided with a mechanical pencil unit 16S and a ballpoint pen refill 16B, and the ink color of the ballpoint pen refill 16B is changed to black and red. Also, the slider 11B is made of a colored opaque member, and the color of each slider 11B is substantially the same as the color of the ink of the ballpoint pen refill 16B. The elastic member 17S of the mechanical pencil unit 16S is differentiated so that the spring constant becomes the highest among the three elastic members. As a result, as in the first embodiment, the difference between the mechanical pencil unit 16S and the ballpoint pen refill 16B can be identified by the difference in operational feeling. Further, in the present embodiment, even with the same ball-point pen refill 16B, the spring constant of the elastic member 17S of the black ink ball-point pen refill 16B is made to be the lowest, and the spring constant of the elastic member 17S of the red ink ball-point pen refill 16B is set to the middle. As a result, the black and red inks can be easily identified, and the dual writing instrument can be used easily.
In addition, as described above, the color of each slider 11B is substantially the same as the color of the ink of the ballpoint pen refill 16B, and the sliders 11B and 11S are replaced with the ballpoint pen refill 16B and the mechanical pencil unit 11S as in the first embodiment. Each cursive letter can be identified visually.
