Description

  The present invention relates to a multipurpose writing apparatus.

  As is well known, electronic devices including so-called touch screens that allow users to interact with a graphical interface with their fingers or other specially designed elements are now increasingly used.

  Such electronic devices include so-called smartphones, which have a relatively small touch screen.

  To operate such a small touch screen, stylus elements such as writing pens or other objects are often used, and such use may be essential.

  However, styluses can be difficult to obtain, while common ballpoint pens or other conventional writing instruments have the disadvantage of damaging the touch screen, so their use is not operationally safe.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a writing device such as a ballpoint pen that can be used for a touch screen without damaging the touch screen.

  A further object of the invention is such a device that can be made using readily commercializable elements and materials, such as plastic or soft rubber materials, and is quite competitive from a totally economic point of view. Is to provide.

  Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a multipurpose writing device that is extremely reliable and safe during operation.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above goals and objectives, another objective that will become more apparent below comprises a device body including a cap that can be press-fit or snap-fit, the device body being written. This is achieved by a multi-purpose writing device characterized by comprising a tip and an internal ink container.

  The writing device is an erasable ink type.

  The cap includes a haptic tip adapted to be used in contact with a device such as a touch screen at an end opposite the inlet portion or opening of the cap.

  Additional features and advantages relating to the present invention will be described in the following from the following disclosure of preferred but non-exclusive embodiments of the present invention, given by way of example but not limitation of the accompanying drawings. It will be clear.

1 shows a writing device with a cap closed, such as a touch screen stylus in use or at rest. FIG. 2 is a further view of the device of FIG. 1 with the cap removed and used as a conventional ballpoint pen. Fig. 5 shows another writing device with the cap closed, such as a touch screen stylus in use or at rest. FIG. 4 is a further view of the apparatus of FIG. 3 with the cap removed for use as a conventional ballpoint pen.

  For each reference number in the above drawings, the multipurpose writing device according to the present invention comprises a body 2 which is indicated generally by the reference number 1 and includes a cap 3 which can be press-fit or snap-fit.

  The main body 2 includes a writing tip 4 and an internal ink container or tank (not shown).

  Advantageously, the writing device is of an erasable ink type.

  The main body 2 includes an erasing element 5 at an end opposite to the writing tip 4, and the erasing element is used to remove ink supplied by the writing tip.

  According to the present invention, the cap 3 includes a tactile tip 7 at the end opposite to the opening 6 of the cap, and the tip contacts a device such as a touch screen. Can be used.

  The tactile tip 7 has a convex shape and is made of a material that does not damage the surface of the touch screen that is touched or touched by the tip 7.

  The writing device according to the present invention is used by directly contacting the touch screen with a cap attached to the main body, and when providing digital writing when the touch screen permits, a digit or a symbol ( It is easy to create a symbol and a sign.

  When the cap 3 is removed, the multipurpose device according to the invention can also be used as a conventional erasable ballpoint pen.

  The present invention has been found to achieve its intended goals and objectives sufficiently.

  Indeed, the present invention has provided a multi-purpose writing device for touching and operating the touch screen in a highly efficient manner that can also be used as an erasable ballpoint pen without damaging the touch screen.

  Therefore, by using the device of the present invention instead of using the fingers of the hand on the touch screen, it is possible to easily create numbers and symbols without soiling or scratching the touch screen.

  In carrying out the present invention, the materials used and the accompanying sizes and shapes may be any as required.
