Description

本発明は、熱変色性筆記具に関する。詳細には、筆記体の内部に熱変色性インキを収容し、前記筆記体の前端に前記熱変色性インキが吐出可能なペン先を設け、前記筆記体を軸筒内に前後方向に移動可能に収容し、前記筆記体のペン先を軸筒の前端孔から出没可能に構成した熱変色性筆記具に関する。 The present invention relates to a thermochromic writing instrument. Specifically, the cursive ink is housed inside the cursive, a pen tip capable of ejecting the cursive ink is provided at the front end of the cursive, and the cursive can be moved in the front-rear direction in the barrel. The present invention relates to a thermochromic writing instrument which is housed in a cursive and has a structure in which a pen tip of the cursive can be seen and removed from a front end hole of a barrel.

特許文献1には、軸筒内に筆記体を前後方向に移動可能に収容し、軸筒の外面に操作部を設け、前記操作部を操作することにより前記筆記体のペン先を軸筒の前端孔から出没可能に構成し、前記筆記体の内部に熱変色性インキを収容し、前記筆記体の前端に前記熱変色性インキが吐出可能なペン先を設け、前記軸筒の外面に、前記熱変色性インキの筆跡を摩擦しその際に生じる摩擦熱で該筆跡を熱変色可能な摩擦部を設けた熱変色性筆記具が開示されている。 In Patent Document 1, a cursive is housed in a barrel so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, an operation unit is provided on the outer surface of the barrel, and the pen tip of the cursive is moved by operating the operation portion. It is configured so that it can appear and disappear from the front end hole, the heat-discoloring ink is stored inside the cursive, a pen tip capable of ejecting the heat-discoloring ink is provided at the front end of the cursive, and the outer surface of the barrel A thermochromic writing tool provided with a friction portion capable of thermally discoloring the cursive by rubbing the handwriting of the thermochromic ink and the frictional heat generated at that time is disclosed.

前記特許文献1は、軸筒後端の操作部を前方に押圧するタイプにおいて操作部に摩擦部を設けた場合、該摩擦部を用いて摩擦操作すると、被筆記面によって操作部が前方に移動し、安定した摩擦操作を行うことができないおそれがある。特に、ペン先突出操作及びペン先没入操作のいずれもが操作部を前方に押圧操作するタイプの出没機構(いわゆるダブルノック式)を採用し且つ操作部に摩擦部を設けた場合、ペン先突出状態において操作体が前後方向にがたつき、安定した摩擦操作を行うことができないおそれがある。 According to Patent Document 1, when a friction portion is provided in the operation portion in a type in which the operation portion at the rear end of the barrel is pressed forward, when the friction operation is performed using the friction portion, the operation portion moves forward by the writing surface. However, there is a risk that stable friction operation cannot be performed. In particular, when both the pen tip protruding operation and the pen tip immersion operation employ a type of retracting mechanism (so-called double knock type) in which the operating portion is pressed forward and a friction portion is provided in the operating portion, the pen tip protrudes. In this state, the operating body may rattle in the front-rear direction, making it impossible to perform a stable friction operation.

また、特許文献1の図12には、筒状の操作部を前後方向に移動可能に設け、前記筒状の操作部の外面にポケット等に挟持可能なクリップを突設し、前記筒状の操作部の後端外面に摩擦部を設けた構成が開示されている。しかし、この構成の熱変色性筆記具は、ペン先の出没操作時に摩擦部を押圧するため、摩擦部が手垢等で汚れるおそれがある。そして、前記摩擦部が汚れた状態で熱変色性インキの筆跡を摩擦した場合、筆跡を有する被筆記面(例えば紙面)が汚れるおそれがある。 Further, in FIG. 12 of Patent Document 1, a tubular operating portion is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and a clip that can be held in a pocket or the like is provided on the outer surface of the tubular operating portion. A configuration in which a friction portion is provided on the outer surface of the rear end of the operation portion is disclosed. However, since the heat-discoloring writing instrument having this configuration presses the friction portion when the pen tip appears and disappears, the friction portion may become dirty with hand stains or the like. When the handwriting of the heat-discoloring ink is rubbed while the friction portion is dirty, the writing surface having the handwriting (for example, the paper surface) may be soiled.

また、特許文献1の図15には、操作部を軸筒側壁より径方向外方に突出させ、前記操作部を後方付勢に抗して前方に押圧操作することにより、ペン先没入状態からペン先突出状態にする構成(いわゆる多芯タイプのサイドスライド式)の出没機構を備え、軸筒の後端外面に摩擦部を設けた構成が開示されている。しかし、この構成の熱変色性筆記具は、ペン先突出状態からペン先没入状態にする際(ペン先突出状態を解除する際)、他の筆記体に取り付けられた操作体を操作しなければならない。そのため、複数の操作体(即ち複数の突出部分)を設ける必要があり、外観デザイン上の自由度が減少する。さらには、ポケット等に挟持可能なクリップを軸筒に設ける場合、より一層、突出部分が増え、外観デザイン上の自由度が減少する。 Further, in FIG. 15 of Patent Document 1, the operating portion is projected outward in the radial direction from the side wall of the barrel, and the operating portion is pressed forward against the rearward bias to prevent the pen tip from being immersed. A configuration is disclosed in which a pen tip protruding state (so-called multi-core type side slide type) is provided, and a friction portion is provided on the outer surface of the rear end of the barrel. However, the thermochromic writing instrument having this configuration must operate an operating body attached to another cursive when changing from the pen tip protruding state to the pen tip immersion state (when releasing the pen tip protruding state). .. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a plurality of operating bodies (that is, a plurality of protruding portions), which reduces the degree of freedom in appearance design. Furthermore, when a clip that can be held in a pocket or the like is provided on the shaft cylinder, the number of protruding portions is further increased, and the degree of freedom in appearance design is reduced.

In the present invention, the "pen tip immersion state" means a state in which the pen tip is immersed in the barrel, and the "pen tip protrusion state" means a state in which the pen tip protrudes outward from the front end of the barrel. To say.

上記目的を達成するために、本願発明の熱変色性筆記具は、内部に熱変色性インキを収容した筆記体を軸筒内に収容し、前記軸筒に設けた操作体を操作して前記筆記体を前後方向に移動させ、前記筆記体のペン先を筆記具の先端から出没可能に構成した熱変色性筆記具であって、前記熱変色性インキの筆跡を摩擦しその際に生じる摩擦熱で該筆跡を熱変色可能な摩擦部と、少なくとも一の前記操作体としてのクリップ体とを備え、前記摩擦部を前記軸筒の後端に設けるとともに、前記軸筒における後端以外の部位に前記クリップ体を設けた構成としてある。 In order to achieve the above object, the thermochromic writing instrument of the present invention accommodates a cursive containing a thermochromic ink inside in a barrel, and operates the operating body provided on the barrel to write the writing. A thermochromic writing instrument in which the body is moved in the front-rear direction so that the pen tip of the cursive can appear and disappear from the tip of the writing instrument, and the frictional heat generated at that time by rubbing the handwriting of the cursive ink. A friction portion capable of thermally discoloring the handwriting and at least one clip body as the operating body are provided, the friction portion is provided at the rear end of the barrel, and the clip is provided at a portion other than the rear end of the barrel. It has a structure with a body.

上記構成によれば、摩擦部を、クリップ体(操作体)から独立させて軸筒の後端に設けたことにより、摩擦操作時に、摩擦部が後方へ移動することがなく、摩擦部を用いた摩擦操作が安定したものとなる。また、ペン先出没の操作をするときに摩擦部に触れる必要がないので、摩擦部が手垢等で汚れることを回避できる。 According to the above configuration, since the friction portion is provided at the rear end of the barrel independently of the clip body (operation body), the friction portion does not move backward during the friction operation, and the friction portion is used. The friction operation that was used becomes stable. Further, since it is not necessary to touch the friction portion when operating the pen tip infestation, it is possible to prevent the friction portion from becoming dirty with hand stains or the like.

好ましくは、上述した本発明の熱変色性筆記具において、前記操作体として単一の前記クリップ体のみを備え、単一の前記クリップ体を操作することにより、前記筆記体のペン先を突出状態及び没入状態にすることが可能な構成とする。 Preferably, in the thermochromic writing tool of the present invention described above, only a single clip body is provided as the operation body, and by operating the single clip body, the pen tip of the writing body is projected. The configuration should be immersive.

上記構成によれば、ペン先出没の操作を単一のクリップ体で行うことができ、軸筒に複数の操作体(即ち複数の突出部分)を設ける必要がなくなる。さらに、操作体であるクリップ体は、ポケット等に挟持可能なクリップを兼ねるので、外観上、操作体としての突出部分をなくすことができ、熱変色性筆記具のデザイン上の自由度を増大させ、スマートな外観を得ることができる。 According to the above configuration, the operation of moving the pen tip can be performed with a single clip body, and it is not necessary to provide a plurality of operating bodies (that is, a plurality of protruding portions) on the barrel. Furthermore, since the clip body, which is the operating body, also serves as a clip that can be held in a pocket or the like, it is possible to eliminate the protruding portion as the operating body in appearance, increasing the degree of freedom in the design of the thermochromic writing tool. You can get a smart look.

上述した本発明の熱変色性筆記具において、前記軸筒が、互いに連結可能な複数の部品からなる構成としてもよく、この場合に、前記軸筒の後端を含む部分が前記部品としての後軸からなり、前記後軸の後端部に前記摩擦部を設けた構成としてもよい。すなわち、本熱変色性筆記具を構成する軸筒は、一本の筒状体であってもよいし、複数の部品を互いに連結させて一本の筒状体となるものでもよい。 In the thermochromic writing instrument of the present invention described above, the shaft cylinder may be composed of a plurality of parts that can be connected to each other. In this case, the portion including the rear end of the shaft cylinder is the rear shaft as the component. The friction portion may be provided at the rear end portion of the rear shaft. That is, the shaft cylinder constituting the thermochromic writing instrument may be a single tubular body, or may be one in which a plurality of parts are connected to each other to form a single tubular body.

好ましくは、上述した本発明の熱変色性筆記具において、前記軸筒の側壁に前後方向に延びるスライド孔を設け、前記スライド孔に配設した前記クリップ体を前方へスライド操作することで、前記筆記体のペン先を没入状態から突出状態にする出没機構を備えた構成とする。 Preferably, in the above-described thermochromic writing instrument of the present invention, the writing is performed by providing a slide hole extending in the front-rear direction on the side wall of the barrel and sliding the clip body arranged in the slide hole forward. The structure is equipped with a haunting mechanism that changes the pen tip of the body from the immersive state to the protruding state.

上記構成によれば、クリップ体を前方へスライド操作することで、ペン先を突出状態及び没入状態にすることができ(いわゆるダブルノック式の出没機構)、操作方法が簡単であり、ユーザーが操作方法を容易に習得できる。 According to the above configuration, by sliding the clip body forward, the pen tip can be in the protruding state and the immersive state (so-called double knock type infestation mechanism), the operation method is simple, and the user can operate it. You can easily learn the method.

好ましくは、上述した本発明の熱変色性筆記具において、前記軸筒が、互いに連結可能な二以上の部品からなり、前記軸筒を構成する二つの前記部品の各側壁に、前端又は後端が開放され且つ前後方向に延びる第1又は第2の長孔をそれぞれ設け、二つの前記部品を連結したときに、前記第1及び第2の長孔が、互いに連通して前記スライド孔を形成する構成とする。 Preferably, in the thermochromic writing instrument of the present invention described above, the barrel is composed of two or more parts that can be connected to each other, and each side wall of the two parts constituting the barrel has a front end or a rear end. A first or second elongated hole that is open and extends in the front-rear direction is provided, respectively, and when the two components are connected, the first and second elongated holes communicate with each other to form the slide hole. It is configured.

上記構成によれば、例えば、後方に開放された第1の長孔と、前方に開放された第2の長孔とでスライド孔を形成した場合は、軸筒を構成する二つの部品を連結する際(即ちスライド孔を形成する際)に、第1及び第2の長孔の開放端を介して、クリップ体の取付部分をスライド孔に容易に挿入することができ、クリップ体と軸筒とを効率よく組み立てることが可能となる。 According to the above configuration, for example, when a slide hole is formed by a first elongated hole opened rearward and a second elongated hole opened forward, two components constituting the barrel are connected.

The slide holes are formed by communicating with each other in a state of overlapping in the radial direction.

上記構成によれば、第1及び第2の長孔を、互いに径方向に重なった状態で連通させたことにより、軸筒全体が不必要に長くなることを回避できる。すなわち、第1及び第2の長孔の重複部分はスライド孔の全長に影響を与えないのである。尚、「径方向に重なる」の構成については、後に具体例を挙げて詳述する。 According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the entire shaft cylinder from becoming unnecessarily long by communicating the first and second elongated holes so as to overlap each other in the radial direction. That is, the overlapping portion of the first and second elongated holes does not affect the total length of the slide holes. The configuration of "overlapping in the radial direction" will be described in detail later with a specific example.

より好ましくは、上述した本発明の熱変色性筆記具において、前記軸筒を構成する一の前記部品に設けた前記第1の長孔に前記クリップ体の基部を挿入する工程と、前記軸筒を構成する他の前記部品に設けた前記第2の長孔に前記クリップ体の基部を挿入しつつ、他の前記部品を一の前記部品に連結させ、前記第2の長孔を前記第1の長孔に連通させて前記スライド孔を形成する工程と、を経て前記クリップ体を前記スライド孔に組み付けた構成とする。 More preferably, in the above-described thermochromic writing tool of the present invention, a step of inserting the base portion of the clip body into the first elongated hole provided in the one component constituting the shaft cylinder, and the shaft cylinder. While inserting the base of the clip body into the second elongated hole provided in the other constituent component, the other component is connected to the one component, and the second elongated hole is connected to the first elongated hole. The clip body is assembled into the slide hole through a step of communicating with the elongated hole to form the slide hole.

上記構成によれば、クリップ体をスライド孔に容易に挿入できることに加え、第1の長孔に挿入したクリップ体の基部をガイドにして、第1及び第2の長孔の位置合わせと、一の部品と他の部品の連結とを簡単に行うことができるようになる。 According to the above configuration, in addition to being able to easily insert the clip body into the slide hole, the positioning of the first and second long holes can be performed by using the base of the clip body inserted into the first long hole as a guide. It becomes possible to easily connect one part and other parts.

好ましくは、上述した本発明の熱変色性筆記具において、前記出没機構としてのカム機構を前記軸筒内に備え、前記カム機構には、交互に前後方向の異なる位置で係合可能なカム部及び突起を含み、前記クリップ体を前方へスライド操作することにより、前記カム部及び前記突起を交互に前後方向の異なる位置で係合させ、前記筆記体のペン先を交互に突出状態又は没入状態にする構成とする。 Preferably, in the above-described thermochromic writing instrument of the present invention, a cam mechanism as the infestation mechanism is provided in the barrel, and the cam mechanism is alternately engaged with a cam portion and a cam portion capable of engaging with the cam mechanism at different positions in the front-rear direction. By sliding the clip body forward including the protrusion, the cam portion and the protrusion are alternately engaged at different positions in the front-rear direction, and the pen tip of the cursive body is alternately brought into a protruding state or an immersed state. The configuration is to be used.

より好ましくは、前記出没機構として、円周方向に沿って交互に配置された前後方向に延びる複数のカム歯及びカム溝と、前記筆記体の後方に回転可能に配置され、前記カム歯又は前記カム溝に交互に係合可能な複数の突条を有する回転部材と、前記クリップ体に設けられ、前記回転部材を回動させる複数の他のカム歯と、前記筆記体を後方に付勢する弾発体と、を前記軸筒内に備え、前記弾発体の付勢力に抗して、前記クリップ体を前方へスライド操作することにより、前記突条を前記カム歯又は前記カム溝に交互に係合させ、前記筆記体のペン先を交互に突出状態又は没入状態にする構成としてもよい。 More preferably, as the infestation mechanism, a plurality of cam teeth and cam grooves extending in the front-rear direction alternately arranged along the circumferential direction, and the cam teeth or the cam teeth rotatably arranged behind the cursive. A rotating member having a plurality of ridges that can be alternately engaged with the cam groove, a plurality of other cam teeth provided on the clip body and rotating the rotating member, and the cursive body are urged rearward. The elastic body and the elastic body are provided in the barrel, and the clip body is slid forward against the urging force of the elastic body, whereby the protrusions are alternately provided with the cam teeth or the cam groove. The pen tip of the cursive may be alternately projected or immersed in the cursive.

このような構成によれば、カム機構を利用して、クリップ体を前方にスライド操作するだけでペン先を突出状態及び没入状態にすることができるダブルノック式の出没機構を構成することができ、本熱変色性筆記具の操作方法が極めて簡単となり、ユーザーが操作方法を容易に習得できるようになる。 According to such a configuration, it is possible to configure a double knock type infestation mechanism in which the pen tip can be brought into a protruding state and an immersed state simply by sliding the clip body forward by using the cam mechanism. , The operation method of this thermochromic writing instrument becomes extremely simple, and the user can easily learn the operation method.

好ましくは、上述した本熱変色性筆記具の出没機構において、前記クリップ体が、前記軸筒内に収容され且つ前後方向に延びる軸部を有し、前記軸部と前記回転部材とが、前後方向のあそびを有する状態で互いに係止される構成とする。 Preferably, in the above-mentioned infestation mechanism of the thermochromic writing instrument, the clip body has a shaft portion housed in the shaft cylinder and extends in the front-rear direction, and the shaft portion and the rotating member are in the front-rear direction. It is configured to be locked to each other while having a play.

このような構成によれば、クリップ体の軸部と回転部材とが、前後方向のあそびを有した状態で係止されることにより、ペン先の突出状態(すなわち、カム歯と突条が前方で係合している場合)において、スライド孔の前方に移動したクリップ体の後方への移動が阻止される。その結果、ペン先の突出状態において摩擦操作を行う場合に、クリップ体の近傍を把持したとしても、クリップ体が不用意に移動することがなく、安定した摩擦操作が可能となる。 According to such a configuration, the shaft portion of the clip body and the rotating member are locked in a state of having play in the front-rear direction, so that the pen tip is in a protruding state (that is, the cam tooth and the ridge are forward. (When engaged with), the rearward movement of the clip body that has moved to the front of the slide hole is prevented. As a result, when the friction operation is performed with the pen tip protruding, even if the vicinity of the clip body is gripped, the clip body does not move carelessly, and a stable friction operation is possible.

好ましくは、上述した本熱変色性筆記具の出没機構において、前記スライド孔より前方の前記軸筒の外面に、前後方向に延びるガイド溝を形成し、前記クリップ体の前部内面に玉部を突設し、前記クリップ体の前後方向の移動に伴って、前記玉部が前記ガイド溝内を前後方向に摺動する構成とする。 Preferably, in the above-mentioned infestation mechanism of the thermochromic writing instrument, a guide groove extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the outer surface of the shaft cylinder in front of the slide hole, and the ball portion is projected on the inner surface of the front portion of the clip body. The clip body is provided so that the ball portion slides in the guide groove in the front-rear direction as the clip body moves in the front-rear direction.

上記構成によれば、クリップ体をスライド操作するときに、玉部がガイド溝に沿って摺動してクリップ体を前後方向にガイドするので、クリップ体の横方向(周方向)のぐらつきを防止することができる。また、衣類のポケットや手帳等の被挟持物をクリップ体に挟持させるときに、被挟持物が玉部とガイド溝との間に挟まれるので、クリップ体の挟持性能が向上する。 According to the above configuration, when the clip body is slid, the ball portion slides along the guide groove to guide the clip body in the front-rear direction, thus preventing the clip body from wobbling in the lateral direction (circumferential direction). can do. Further, when an object to be held such as a pocket of clothing or a notebook is sandwiched between the clip body, the object to be held is sandwiched between the ball portion and the guide groove, so that the holding performance of the clip body is improved.

上記構成によれば、ペン先を突出状態からペン先没入状態にするときに、スライド溝の後方に移動したクリップ体が弾性材料からなる摩擦部に当接するので、このときに筆記体に加わる衝撃を緩和することができる。その結果、筆記体内のインキの逆流等やペン先からの空気の混入を防止することが可能となる。 According to the above configuration, when the pen tip is changed from the protruding state to the pen tip immersion state, the clip body moved to the rear of the slide groove comes into contact with the friction portion made of the elastic material, so that the impact applied to the cursive body at this time. Can be alleviated. As a result, it is possible to prevent backflow of ink in the writing body and air from the pen tip.

上述した本熱変色性筆記具の出没機構において、前記摩擦部が弾性材料からなり、前記軸筒の後端又は前記後軸の後端部に圧入、係合、螺合、嵌合、接着、2色成形によって固着し、又は前記軸筒の全体もしくは前記後軸の全体を、前記摩擦部としての弾性材料で形成した構成とする。 In the above-mentioned infestation mechanism of the heat-discolorable writing tool, the friction portion is made of an elastic material and is press-fitted, engaged, screwed, fitted, and bonded to the rear end of the barrel or the rear end of the rear shaft. It is fixed by color molding, or the entire shaft cylinder or the entire rear shaft is formed of an elastic material as the friction portion.

上記構成によれば、軸筒の後端に摩擦部を十分強固に固定することができ、摩擦操作時に、摩擦部が後方へ移動したり、脱落したりすることがなく、摩擦部を用いた摩擦操作が安定したものとなる。 According to the above configuration, the friction portion can be sufficiently firmly fixed to the rear end of the barrel, and the friction portion does not move backward or fall off during the friction operation, and the friction portion is used.

-Haunting mechanism The haunting mechanism is a side-sliding haunting mechanism using a rotary cam mechanism. The infestation mechanism engages with a cam portion 41 formed on the inner surface of the intermediate shaft 4, a rotating member 6 that engages with the cam portion 41 and abuts on the rear end of the cursive body 9, and the rotating member 6. The clip body 7 projects radially outward from the slide hole 21, and the elastic body 8 (for example, a compression coil spring) housed in the barrel 2 and urging the cursive body 9 rearward. The infestation mechanism of the present embodiment is a double knock type in which both the pen tip protrusion operation and the pen tip immersion operation slide the clip body 7 forward. The rotating member 6 is obtained by molding a synthetic resin (for example, polyacetal resin).

前記カム部41は、前方に突出する鋸歯状の複数のカム歯41aと、該カム歯41a間に形成される、前後方向に延びる複数のカム溝41bとを備える。前記回転部材6は、その外面に前後方向に延びる複数本(例えば4本)の突条61を備え、該突条61が、カム部41のカム歯41a及びカム部41のカム溝41bと係合される。前記クリップ体7の軸部73の前端には、回転部材6の突条61の後端と係合するカム歯73aが一体に形成される。 The cam portion 41 includes a plurality of sawtooth-shaped cam teeth 41a projecting forward, and a plurality of cam grooves 41b formed between the cam teeth 41a and extending in the front-rear direction. The rotating member 6 is provided with a plurality of (for example, four) ridges 61 extending in the front-rear direction on the outer surface thereof, and the ridges 61 engage with the cam teeth 41a of the cam portion 41 and the cam groove 41b of the cam portion 41. Will be combined. A cam tooth 73a that engages with the rear end of the ridge 61 of the rotating member 6 is integrally formed at the front end of the shaft portion 73 of the clip body 7.

・ペン先の出没
ペン先没入状態からクリップ体7を前方に、弾発体8による後方付勢に抗してスライド操作すると、クリップ体7の軸部73のカム歯73aによって回転部材6が前方に押圧され、前記回転部材6の突条61がカム溝41bに沿って前方に移動するに伴って、前記回転部材6が筆記体9の後端を前方に押圧し、ペン先91が前端孔31より外部に突出される。このとき、前記軸部73のカム歯73aと前記回転部材6の突条61との当接によって回転部材6がカム部41に対して一定角度だけ回転する。それにより、前記回転部材6の突条61がカム部41のカム歯41aに係合され、ペン先突出状態が維持される。
-Infestation of the pen tip When the clip body 7 is slid forward from the pen tip immersion state and against the rearward bias by the elastic body 8, the rotating member 6 is moved forward by the cam teeth 73a of the shaft portion 73 of the clip body 7. The rotating member 6 presses the rear end of the cursive 9 forward as the ridge 61 of the rotating member 6 moves forward along the cam groove 41b, and the pen tip 91 presses the front end hole. It is projected to the outside from 31. At this time, the rotating member 6 rotates by a certain angle with respect to the cam portion 41 due to the contact between the cam teeth 73a of the shaft portion 73 and the ridge 61 of the rotating member 6. As a result, the ridge 61 of the rotating member 6 is engaged with the cam tooth 41a of the cam portion 41, and the pen tip protruding state is maintained.

ペン先突出状態からクリップ体7を前方にスライド操作すると、クリップ体7の軸部73が回転部材6を前方に押圧し、前記軸部73のカム歯73aと前記回転部材6の突条61との当接によって回転部材6がカム部41に対して一定角度だけ回転する。それによって、前記突条61とカム部41のカム歯41aとの係合状態が解除され、弾発体8による後方付勢により、前記突条61がカム部41のカム溝41bに沿って後方に移動する。前記回転部材6が後方に移動することに伴って、筆記体9が後方に移動し、ペン先没入状態となる。 When the clip body 7 is slid forward from the pen tip protruding state, the shaft portion 73 of the clip body 7 presses the rotating member 6 forward, and the cam teeth 73a of the shaft portion 73 and the ridge 61 of the rotating member 6 The rotating member 6 rotates by a certain angle with respect to the cam portion 41 due to the contact between the two. As a result, the engagement state between the ridge 61 and the cam tooth 41a of the cam portion 41 is released, and the ridge 61 is rearward along the cam groove 41b of the cam portion 41 due to the rearward bias by the elastic body 8. Move to. As the rotating member 6 moves backward, the cursive 9 moves backward, and the pen tip is immersed.

The elastic synthetic resin constituting the friction portion 10 is a low-wear elastic material in which almost no wear residue (eraser) is generated during friction, as compared with a material made of a highly wear-resistant elastic material (for example, an eraser). It is preferably composed of. Further, the friction portion 10 may be provided at least on the outer surface of the rear end portion of the barrel 2, for example, the friction portion 10 made of an elastic material on the outer surface of the rear end portion of the barrel 2 or the outer surface of the rear end portion of the rear shaft 5. There is a configuration in which the shaft is fixed by press fitting, engagement, screwing, fitting, bonding, two-color molding, or the like, or a configuration in which the entire shaft cylinder 2 or the entire rear shaft 5 is integrally formed of an elastic material.

・熱変色性インキ
本実施の形態において、前記熱変色性インキは、可逆熱変色性インキが好ましい。前記可逆熱変色性インキは、発色状態から加熱により消色する加熱消色型、発色状態または消色状態を互変的に特定温度域で記憶保持する色彩記憶保持型、または、消色状態から加熱により発色し、発色状態からの冷却により消色状態に復する加熱発色型等、種々のタイプを単独または併用して構成することができる。
-Heat-changing ink In the present embodiment, the heat-changing ink is preferably a reversible heat-changing ink. The reversible thermochromic ink is a heat-decoloring type that decolorizes by heating from a color-developing state, a color memory-holding type that alternately stores a color-developing state or a decoloring state in a specific temperature range, or a decoloring state. Various types such as a heating color-developing type that develops color by heating and returns to a decolorized state by cooling from the color-developed state can be configured alone or in combination.

また、前記可逆熱変色性インキに含有される色材は、従来より公知の(イ)電子供与性呈色性有機化合物、(ロ)電子受容性化合物、及び(ハ)前記両者の呈色反応の生起温度を決める反応媒体、の必須三成分を少なくとも含む可逆熱変色性組成物をマイクロカプセル中に内包させた可逆熱変色性顔料が好適に用いられる。 Further, the coloring material contained in the reversible thermochromic ink is a conventionally known (a) electron-donating color-developing organic compound, (b) electron-accepting compound, and (c) the color reaction of both. A reversible thermochromic pigment in which a reversible thermochromic composition containing at least three essential components of a reaction medium for determining the occurrence temperature of the above is encapsulated in a microcapsule is preferably used.

本実施の形態では、図10に示すように、温度変化による着色濃度の変化をプロットした曲線の形状が、温度を変色温度域より低温側から上昇させていく場合と逆に変色温度域より高温側から下降させていく場合とで異なる経路を辿って変色し、完全発色温度(t)以下の低温域での発色状態、または完全消色温度(t)以上の高温域での消色状態が、特定温度域〔t〜tの間の温度域(実質的二相保持温度域)〕で記憶保持できる色彩記憶保持型熱変色性インキが適用されることが好ましい。図10において、ΔHは、ヒステリシスの程度を示す温度幅(即ちヒステリシス幅)を示す。ΔHの値が小さいと、変色前後の両状態のうち一方の状態しか存在しえない。ΔHの値が大きいと、変色前後の各状態の保持が容易となる。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the shape of the curve plotting the change in coloring density due to the temperature change is higher than the discoloration temperature range, contrary to the case where the temperature is raised from the lower temperature side than the discoloration temperature range. The color changes by following a different path from the case of descending from the side, and the color is developed in the low temperature range below the complete color development temperature (t 1 ), or the color is decolorized in the high temperature range above the complete decolorization temperature (t 4 ). It is preferable to apply a color memory retention type thermochromic ink whose state can be stored in a specific temperature range [a temperature range between t 2 to t 3 (substantial two-phase holding temperature range)]. In FIG. 10, ΔH indicates a temperature width (that is, a hysteresis width) indicating the degree of hysteresis. If the value of ΔH is small, only one of the two states before and after discoloration can exist. When the value of ΔH is large, it becomes easy to maintain each state before and after discoloration.

本実施の形態では、前記熱変色性インキの摩擦部10の摩擦熱による変色温度は、25℃〜95℃(好ましくは36℃〜95℃)に設定される。即ち、本実施の形態では、前記高温側変色点〔完全消色温度(t)〕を、25℃〜95℃(好ましくは、36℃〜90℃)の範囲に設定し、前記低温側変色点〔完全発色温度(t)〕を、−30℃〜+20℃(好ましくは、−30℃〜+10℃)の範囲に設定することが有効である。それにより、常態(日常の生活温度域)で呈する色彩の保持を有効に機能させることができるとともに、可逆熱変色性インキによる筆跡を摩擦部10による摩擦熱で容易に変色することができる。 In the present embodiment, the discoloration temperature due to the frictional heat of the friction portion 10 of the heat-discoloring ink is set to 25 ° C. to 95 ° C. (preferably 36 ° C. to 95 ° C.). That is, in the present embodiment, the high temperature side discoloration point [complete decolorization temperature (t 4 )] is set in the range of 25 ° C. to 95 ° C. (preferably 36 ° C. to 90 ° C.), and the low temperature side discoloration. It is effective to set the point [complete color development temperature (t 1 )] in the range of -30 ° C to + 20 ° C (preferably -30 ° C to + 10 ° C). As a result, it is possible to effectively maintain the color exhibited in the normal state (daily life temperature range), and the handwriting by the reversible thermochromic ink can be easily discolored by the frictional heat generated by the friction portion 10.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記摩擦部10を軸筒2の後端外面に固定したことにより、摩擦操作時、摩擦部10の後方への移動が阻止されるため、摩擦部10を用いて安定した摩擦操作が可能となる。また、本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、ペン先出没の操作をするための操作部をクリップ体7に設け、摩擦部10をクリップ体7(操作部)から独立させたことにより、ペン先91を出没する際、クリップ体7を操作し、摩擦部10を操作しないため、摩擦部10が手垢等で汚れることを回避できる。また、本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、軸筒2外面にクリップ体7を設けたにもかかわらず、従来の多芯タイプのサイドスライド式の熱変色性筆記具に比べ、突出部分が少なく、外観デザイン上の自由度が増加し、スマートな外観を得ることができる。 In the heat-discoloring writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, since the friction portion 10 is fixed to the outer surface of the rear end of the shaft cylinder 2, the friction portion 10 is prevented from moving backward during the friction operation. A stable friction operation is possible by using 10. Further, in the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, an operation portion for operating the pen tip infestation is provided on the clip body 7, and the friction portion 10 is made independent of the clip body 7 (operation portion). Since the clip body 7 is operated and the friction portion 10 is not operated when the pen tip 91 appears and disappears, it is possible to prevent the friction portion 10 from becoming dirty with hand stains or the like. Further, the heat-discolorable writing tool 1 of the present embodiment has a protruding portion as compared with the conventional multi-core type side-slide type heat-discoloring writing tool, although the clip body 7 is provided on the outer surface of the barrel 2. There are few, the degree of freedom in appearance design is increased, and a smart appearance can be obtained.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、出没機構が、回転カム機構を用いたサイドスライド式出没機構であり、ペン先突出操作及びペン先没入操作の何れもがクリップ体7を前方にスライド操作するタイプ(いわゆるダブルノック式の出没機構)であるため、操作方法が簡単であり、ユーザーが操作方法を容易に習得できる。 In the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, the infestation mechanism is a side slide type infestation mechanism using a rotary cam mechanism, and both the pen tip protrusion operation and the pen tip intrusion operation slide the clip body 7 forward. Since it is an operation type (so-called double knock type haunting mechanism), the operation method is simple and the user can easily learn the operation method.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、後方に開放された第1の長孔44と前方に開放された第2の長孔51とによりスライド孔21を形成したことによって、前記中間軸4と前記後軸5とを連結する際(即ちスライド孔21を形成する際)に、クリップ体7を第1の長孔44と第2の長孔51とに挿入でき、クリップ体7をスライド孔21に容易に挿入することができ、クリップ体7と軸筒2との容易な挿入組立が可能となる。 In the thermochromic writing tool 1 of the present embodiment, the intermediate shaft 4 is formed by forming a slide hole 21 by a first elongated hole 44 opened rearward and a second elongated hole 51 opened forward. When connecting the rear shaft 5 and the rear shaft 5 (that is, when forming the slide hole 21), the clip body 7 can be inserted into the first elongated hole 44 and the second elongated hole 51, and the clip body 7 can be inserted into the slide hole. It can be easily inserted into the 21 and the clip body 7 and the barrel 2 can be easily inserted and assembled.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記中間軸4の側壁と前記後軸5の側壁とを径方向に重なるように連結し、前記第1の長孔44と前記第2の長孔51とを径方向に連通させたことにより、軸筒2全体が不必要に長くなることを回避できる。 In the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, the side wall of the intermediate shaft 4 and the side wall of the rear shaft 5 are connected so as to overlap in the radial direction, and the first elongated hole 44 and the second elongated hole are connected. By communicating with 51 in the radial direction, it is possible to prevent the entire shaft cylinder 2 from becoming unnecessarily long.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記摩擦部10が弾性材料からなり、前記摩擦部10の一部がペン先没入状態のクリップ体7に当接してなることにより、ペン先突出状態からペン先没入状態にする際、弾発体8の後方付勢による筆記体9及びクリップ体7が後方移動し、クリップ体7と弾性材料よりなる摩擦部10とが当接するため、その際に筆記体9に加わる衝撃を緩和できる。その結果、筆記体9内のインキの逆流やペン先91からの空気の混入を防止できる。 In the heat-discolorable writing tool 1 of the present embodiment, the friction portion 10 is made of an elastic material, and a part of the friction portion 10 is in contact with the clip body 7 in the pen tip immersion state, so that the pen tip protrudes. When the pen tip is immersed in the nib, the writing body 9 and the clip body 7 move backward due to the rearward bias of the elastic body 8, and the clip body 7 and the friction portion 10 made of the elastic material come into contact with each other. The impact applied to the writing body 9 can be alleviated. As a result, it is possible to prevent the backflow of ink in the cursive 9 and the mixing of air from the pen tip 91.

本実施の形態では、図10に示すように、温度変化による着色濃度の変化をプロットした曲線の形状が、温度を変色温度域より低温側から上昇させていく場合と逆に変色温度域より高温側から下降させていく場合とで異なる経路を辿って変色し、完全発色温度(t)以下の低温域での発色状態、または完全消色温度(t)以上の高温域での消色状態が、特定温度域〔t〜tの間の温度域(実質的二相保持温度域)〕で記憶保持できる色彩記憶保持型熱変色性インキが適用されることが好ましい。図10において、ΔHは、ヒステリシスの程度を示す温度幅(即ちヒステリシス幅)を示す。ΔHの値が小さいと、変色前後の両状態のうち一方の状態しか存在しえない。ΔHの値が大きいと、変色前後の各状態の保持が容易となる。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the shape of the curve plotting the change in coloring density due to the temperature change is higher than the discoloration temperature range, contrary to the case where the temperature is raised from the lower temperature side than the discoloration temperature range. The color changes by following a different path from the case of descending from the side, and the color is developed in the low temperature range below the complete color development temperature (t 1 ), or the color is decolorized in the high temperature range above the complete decolorization temperature (t 4 ). It is preferable to apply a color memory retention type thermochromic ink whose state can be stored in a specific temperature range [a temperature range between t 2 to t 3 (substantial two-phase holding temperature range)]. In FIG. 10, ΔH indicates a temperature width (that is, a hysteresis width) indicating the degree of hysteresis. If the value of ΔH is small, only one of the two states before and after discoloration can exist. When the value of ΔH is large, it becomes easy to maintain each state before and after discoloration.

本実施の形態では、前記熱変色性インキの摩擦部10の摩擦熱による変色温度は、25℃〜95℃(好ましくは36℃〜95℃)に設定される。即ち、本実施の形態では、前記高温側変色点〔完全消色温度(t)〕を、25℃〜95℃(好ましくは、36℃〜90℃)の範囲に設定し、前記低温側変色点〔完全発色温度(t)〕を、−30℃〜+20℃(好ましくは、−30℃〜+10℃)の範囲に設定することが有効である。それにより、常態(日常の生活温度域)で呈する色彩の保持を有効に機能させることができるとともに、可逆熱変色性インキによる筆跡を摩擦部10による摩擦熱で容易に変色することができる。 In the present embodiment, the discoloration temperature due to the frictional heat of the friction portion 10 of the heat-discoloring ink is set to 25 ° C. to 95 ° C. (preferably 36 ° C. to 95 ° C.). That is, in the present embodiment, the high temperature side discoloration point [complete decolorization temperature (t 4 )] is set in the range of 25 ° C. to 95 ° C. (preferably 36 ° C. to 90 ° C.), and the low temperature side discoloration. It is effective to set the point [complete color development temperature (t 1 )] in the range of -30 ° C to + 20 ° C (preferably -30 ° C to + 10 ° C). As a result, it is possible to effectively maintain the color exhibited in the normal state (daily life temperature range), and the handwriting by the reversible thermochromic ink can be easily discolored by the frictional heat generated by the friction portion 10.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記摩擦部10を軸筒2の後端外面に固定したことにより、摩擦操作時、摩擦部10の後方への移動が阻止されるため、摩擦部10を用いて安定した摩擦操作が可能となる。また、本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、ペン先出没の操作をするための操作部をクリップ体7に設け、摩擦部10をクリップ体7(操作部)から独立させたことにより、ペン先91を出没する際、クリップ体7を操作し、摩擦部10を操作しないため、摩擦部10が手垢等で汚れることを回避できる。また、本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、軸筒2外面にクリップ体7を設けたにもかかわらず、従来の多芯タイプのサイドスライド式の熱変色性筆記具に比べ、突出部分が少なく、外観デザイン上の自由度が増加し、スマートな外観を得ることができる。 In the heat-discoloring writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, since the friction portion 10 is fixed to the outer surface of the rear end of the shaft cylinder 2, the friction portion 10 is prevented from moving backward during the friction operation. A stable friction operation is possible by using 10. Further, in the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, an operation portion for operating the pen tip infestation is provided on the clip body 7, and the friction portion 10 is made independent of the clip body 7 (operation portion). Since the clip body 7 is operated and the friction portion 10 is not operated when the pen tip 91 appears and disappears, it is possible to prevent the friction portion 10 from becoming dirty with hand stains or the like. Further, the heat-discolorable writing tool 1 of the present embodiment has a protruding portion as compared with the conventional multi-core type side-slide type heat-discoloring writing tool, although the clip body 7 is provided on the outer surface of the barrel 2. There are few, the degree of freedom in appearance design is increased, and a smart appearance can be obtained.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、出没機構が、回転カム機構を用いたサイドスライド式出没機構であり、ペン先突出操作及びペン先没入操作の何れもがクリップ体7を前方にスライド操作するタイプ(いわゆるダブルノック式の出没機構)であるため、操作方法が簡単であり、ユーザーが操作方法を容易に習得できる。 In the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, the infestation mechanism is a side slide type infestation mechanism using a rotary cam mechanism, and both the pen tip protrusion operation and the pen tip intrusion operation slide the clip body 7 forward. Since it is an operation type (so-called double knock type haunting mechanism), the operation method is simple and the user can easily learn the operation method.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、後方に開放された第1の長孔44と前方に開放された第2の長孔51とによりスライド孔21を形成したことによって、前記中間軸4と前記後軸5とを連結する際(即ちスライド孔21を形成する際)に、クリップ体7を第1の長孔44と第2の長孔51とに挿入でき、クリップ体7をスライド孔21に容易に挿入することができ、クリップ体7と軸筒2との容易な挿入組立が可能となる。 In the thermochromic writing tool 1 of the present embodiment, the intermediate shaft 4 is formed by forming a slide hole 21 by a first elongated hole 44 opened rearward and a second elongated hole 51 opened forward. When connecting the rear shaft 5 and the rear shaft 5 (that is, when forming the slide hole 21), the clip body 7 can be inserted into the first elongated hole 44 and the second elongated hole 51, and the clip body 7 can be inserted into the slide hole. It can be easily inserted into the 21 and the clip body 7 and the barrel 2 can be easily inserted and assembled.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記中間軸4の側壁と前記後軸5の側壁とを径方向に重なるように連結し、前記第1の長孔44と前記第2の長孔51とを径方向に連通させたことにより、軸筒2全体が不必要に長くなることを回避できる。 In the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, the side wall of the intermediate shaft 4 and the side wall of the rear shaft 5 are connected so as to overlap in the radial direction, and the first elongated hole 44 and the second elongated hole are connected. By communicating with 51 in the radial direction, it is possible to prevent the entire shaft cylinder 2 from becoming unnecessarily long.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記クリップ体7が、前記軸筒2内に収容され且つ前後方向に延びる軸部73を有し、前記軸部73と前記回転部材6とが、互いに回転可能且つ互いに前後方向のあそびを有した状態で前後方向に係止されることにより、ペン先突出状態において、クリップ体7の不用意な前後方向の移動が抑えられる。その結果、ペン先突出状態でクリップ体7の近傍を把持しても、安定した摩擦操作が可能となる。 In the thermochromic writing tool 1 of the present embodiment, the clip body 7 has a shaft portion 73 housed in the shaft cylinder 2 and extends in the front-rear direction, and the shaft portion 73 and the rotating member 6 are By locking in the front-rear direction in a state where they can rotate with each other and have play in the front-back direction with each other, careless movement of the clip body 7 in the front-rear direction is suppressed in the pen tip protruding state. As a result, stable friction operation is possible even if the vicinity of the clip body 7 is gripped with the pen tip protruding.

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1は、前記スライド孔21より前方の前記軸筒2の外面に、前後方向に延びるガイド溝48を形成し、前記クリップ体7の前部内面に玉部71aを突設し、前記クリップ体7の前後方向の移動に伴って前記ガイド溝48内を前記玉部71aが前後方向に摺動することにより、クリップの挟持性能が向上するとともにクリップ体7の横方向(周方向)のぐらつきを防止できる。 In the thermochromic writing tool 1 of the present embodiment, a guide groove 48 extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the outer surface of the barrel 2 in front of the slide hole 21, and the ball portion 71a is formed on the inner surface of the front portion of the clip body 7. The ball portion 71a slides in the guide groove 48 in the front-rear direction as the clip body 7 moves in the front-rear direction, whereby the clip holding performance is improved and the side of the clip body 7 is laterally provided. It is possible to prevent wobbling in the direction (circumferential direction).

本実施の形態の熱変色性筆記具1において、前記摩擦部10が弾性材料からなり、前記摩擦部10の一部がペン先没入状態のクリップ体7に当接させることもできる。それにより、ペン先突出状態からペン先没入状態にする際、弾発体8の後方付勢により筆記体9及びクリップ体7が後方移動し、クリップ体7と弾性材料よりなる摩擦部10とが当接するため、その際に筆記体9に加わる衝撃を緩和できる。その結果、筆記体9内のインキの逆流等やペン先91からの空気の混入を防止できる。 In the thermochromic writing instrument 1 of the present embodiment, the friction portion 10 is made of an elastic material, and a part of the friction portion 10 can be brought into contact with the clip body 7 in a pen tip immersed state. As a result, when changing from the pen tip protruding state to the pen tip immersion state, the cursive body 9 and the clip body 7 move backward due to the rearward bias of the elastic body 8, and the clip body 7 and the friction portion 10 made of an elastic material are brought together. Since the contact is made, the impact applied to the cursive 9 at that time can be alleviated. As a result, it is possible to prevent backflow of ink in the cursive 9 and air from the pen tip 91.
