Description

The present invention relates to a touch pen for correcting writing posture, and more particularly, to a touch pen for correcting writing posture that is formed so that it can be touched only when the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are correctly contacted with the finger contact portion.

For writing, we use three fingers: the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, but if the three fingers that hold the pen are in the wrong position due to incorrect writing habits, it will affect the typeface. It is difficult to break free from bad handwriting, and calluses may develop due to the poor grip of the fingers used to pick up the pen, which can lead to deformities in the fingers and pain in the shoulders and lower back. It is very difficult to correct such writing habits later on, so it is necessary to form the correct writing posture from an early age.

On the other hand, as times change, portable terminals such as smartphones and smart pads are becoming more and more popular. Such portable terminals use a touch pen to touch and drag a precise position in a narrow area. Therefore, there is a need for a writing posture correction device that can be applied to touch pens.

However, conventional writing posture correction instruments are not applied to touch pens, but simply to writing instruments such as pens and pencils. For example, a groove or step may be formed directly on the writing instrument itself, or a separate fixture may be attached to and removed from the writing instrument. Of course, a separate posture correction fixing device can be attached to and removed from the touch pen, but this is inefficient in correcting the writing posture of the touch pen.

In addition, as a conventional technique regarding a writing posture correction pen, there is Korean Patent No. 10-1045942.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1045942

The present invention was devised in order to solve the problems of the conventional technology described above, and by providing a conductive finger contact portion at a position where the finger touches during writing, the thumb, index finger, To provide a touch pen for correcting writing posture that guides the middle finger to come into contact with a conductive finger contact part.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a touch pen of the present invention, which comprises a conductive nib, a conductive finger contact part, a non-conductive front cover, and a non-conductive pen body, , if the middle finger does not touch the surface of the finger contact area with a sufficient area, a minute current will not flow through the finger contact area, and the size of the minute current flowing through the finger contact area can be determined by changing the material of the finger contact area using various conductive materials. It is an object of the present invention to provide a touch pen for correcting writing posture which can be determined by appropriately selecting a resin (conductive polymer) or adjusting the conductivity of a specific conductive polymer.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the problems described above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains from the content described below. It should be possible to understand.

According to the characteristics of the present invention to achieve the above object, the touch pen of the present invention includes a pen tip, a front cover, a finger contact part, and a pen body, and has a screw thread formed on the upper part. a hemispherical pen nib, the lower end of which is fitted into the upper part of the pen nib, the upper end of which forms an inner space; A finger contact part including three contact surfaces, and a pen body connected in a curved manner to the three concave contact surfaces of the finger contact part, and whose end portion becomes wider toward the top, The pen tip and the finger contact part may be made of a conductive material, and the front cover and the pen body may be made of a non-conductive material.

Further, when a thumb, index finger, and middle finger are sufficiently contacted with the three concave contact surfaces of the finger contact portion, a fine current higher than a reference current value flows through the finger contact portion to the pen tip. The reference current value is adjusted by adjusting the conductivity of the conductive resin.

The touch pen for correcting writing posture according to the present invention is formed so that a minute current of sufficient magnitude flows through the pen tip only when the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are in contact with the correct contact surface, so the user can correct the gripping posture by himself/herself. can be learned and maintained.

In addition, if the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are not in soft and close contact with the ergonomically designed finger contact area, the minute current necessary for operating the touch panel will not flow, causing calluses on the fingers. It is also helpful in preventing finger deformities and lower back and shoulder pain.

The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a touch pen for correcting writing posture according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a touch pen for correcting writing posture according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a writing posture correction touch pen according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the operation pattern of the writing posture correcting touch pen according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but well-known technical parts will be omitted or condensed for the sake of concise explanation.

Hereinafter, the configuration of a writing posture correction touch pen 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a writing posture correction touch pen 1 according to the present invention is a touch pen that includes a pen tip 2, a front cover 3, a finger contact part 4, and a pen body 5, and has a screw thread on the top. A hemispherical pen nib 2 is formed with a front cover 3 whose lower end is fitted into the upper part of the nib and whose upper end forms an internal space, and a front cover 3 whose lower end is fitted into the upper part of the nib, and whose upper end forms an internal space. a finger contact part 4 which is threadedly engaged with the finger contact part 4 and includes three concave contact surfaces 41, 42, 43; The pen body 5 is connected to the pen body 5, and the end portion becomes wider toward the top.

The pen tip 2 and the finger contact part 4 are formed of a conductive material so that the current from a finger grasping the finger contact part 4 flows through the finger contact part 4 to the pen tip 2. Ru.

On the other hand, the components other than the pen tip 2 and the finger contact part 4 (i.e., the front cover 3 and the pen body 5) are made of a non-conductive material, and current flows even when the user's finger touches them. It is formed so that there is no

Hereinafter, the configuration of the writing posture correcting touch pen 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

The conductive nib 2 has a hemispherical shape, and a thread is formed on the top of the nib 2 as a coupling arrangement. The pen tip 2 is made of a conductive material to conduct electricity from the screw thread to the hemispherical outer surface. Further, the hemispherical pen tip 2 may be made of conductive fiber, conductive rubber, or conductive resin, and may be formed to have flexible elasticity. This is to minimize the abrasion of the screen due to writing pressure, to ensure smooth drag operation, and to prevent damage to the pen tip 2 itself and the touch panel. However, the shape of the pen tip 2 is not limited to a hemispherical shape, and can be formed into various shapes depending on the usage environment and conditions. Further, the pen tip is not limited to one having flexible and elastic characteristics, and may be formed of a hard material.

The lower part of the front cover 3 is fitted with the upper part of the pen tip 2. Since the front cover 3 is made of a non-conductive material, no current flows through the front cover 3 even if the front cover 3 is touched. The front cover 3 has three concave surfaces 10 formed on its outer peripheral surface, and the three concave surfaces 10 guide the grasping of the user's thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

The finger contact portion 4 includes a connecting screw 44 and a contact portion main body 45 that is inserted into and fixed to the connecting screw 44 and has contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43 formed therein. The thread on the top of the pen tip 2 is screwed into the connecting screw 44 of the finger contact part 4. The connecting screw 44 of the finger contact part 4 is made of a metal material, and the contact part main body 45 is made of a conductive polymer, so that a minute current can flow therethrough. Each of the contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43 of the finger contact part 4 may be formed in various shapes such as a triangle, a square, and a circle.

The finger contact portion 4 is formed with three concave surfaces, which guide the resting position of the finger. Hereinafter, the three concave surfaces will be referred to as contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43. The three concave contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43 of the finger contact portion 4 are formed at approximately equal intervals, because when the writing instrument is held by hand, the front of the writing instrument is held at the position where the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are held. This is because approximately equal intervals correspond to a correct writing posture.

Each contact surface 41, 42, 43 is formed in a concave shape so that the user's fingers can rest on it, imitating the shape of the user's thumb, index finger, and middle finger while correctly grasping the writing instrument. It was designed so that writing cannot be done unless the contact surface is accurately touched. This can be determined by checking whether a minute current exceeding a reference value flows through the finger contact portion 4, and the principle of this operation will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The forms of the contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43 may be modified in various ways within the scope of the following claims as long as they can induce a correct writing posture.

The pen body 5 is fitted into the front cover 3 which is connected to the finger contact part 4 . The pen body 5 has an end tapering toward the bottom, has three concave surfaces 20, and is connected to the three concave surfaces 10 of the front cover 3 to form a soft curved surface. .

The pen body 5 is not made of metal, but is made of non-conductive synthetic resin, wood, or the like to prevent current from flowing therethrough. This is to ensure that writing is performed only when the user touches the finger contact portion 4 to write. Furthermore, since the pen body 5 of the touch pen 1 is not made of metal, there is an advantage that manufacturing costs can be kept low.

3 to 4, the operating principle of the writing posture correcting touch pen 1 according to the present invention will be explained. The touch pen 1 of the present invention is for inducing a correct writing posture, and only when the thumb, index finger, and middle finger properly contact the contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43, the pen tip 2 has a level sufficient for touch operation. Minute currents I1, I2, and I3 flow. For this purpose, the pen tip 2 and the finger contact part 4 are made of a conductive material, and the other front cover 3 and the pen body 5 are made of a non-conductive material so that no current flows therethrough.

When writing, the user places his thumb, index finger, and middle finger on the finger contact part 4. At this time, if a current higher than the reference current value flows through the finger contact part 4, the user will not be able to grasp the touch pen 1. A minute current begins to flow from the finger, through the finger contact portion 4, to the connected conductive pen tip 2. At this time, the reference current value means a current value that is large enough for touch operation.

Here, the electrical conductivity (electrical conductivity) of the finger contact part 4 is selected by appropriately selecting the conductive resin used for the finger contact part 4 or by adding impurities to a specific conductive resin. can do. At this time, the electric conductivity (electrical conductivity) of the finger contact portion 4 is selected so that a current smaller than the reference current value flows when the finger touches two or less contact surfaces. In addition, the electric conductivity (electrical conductivity) of the finger contact portion 4 is such that even if the finger is in contact with three contact surfaces, the area where the finger contacts the contact surfaces is sufficient (for example, the total area of the contact surfaces). If the contact is made at 2/3) or below, the finger contact portion 4 will not be grasped correctly, so a current smaller than the reference current value is selected to flow. Selecting a conductive resin or adjusting the electric conductivity of the conductive resin in order to select the electric conductivity of the finger contact portion 4 is a well-known technique, so a detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

For example, increasing the conductivity of a particular conductive resin can be done by doping (adding an impurity that has another electron or is missing through a redox reaction). Furthermore, by selecting the type of conductive polymer, the electric conductivity of the finger contact area can be set to a desired value.

As an example of selecting a conductive resin, for example, after preparing multiple conductive resins with different conductivities, the user can touch the touch panel with different numbers of fingers and adjust the touch operation according to the user's intention. An example of this is to select a conductive resin based on the following criteria.

Therefore, in the present invention, the electric conductivity (electrical conductivity) of the finger contact part 4 is appropriately selected so that a touch operation is performed only when three fingers are in contact with a sufficient area on the three contact surfaces of the finger contact part 4. By configuring this to occur, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are guided to be positioned on the correct contact surfaces 41, 42, and 43 of the touch pen 1, so that correct writing posture can be corrected and learned.

In the embodiment of the present invention described above, it has been explained that three conductive contact surfaces of the finger contact part are formed, but it is not always necessary to form three contact surfaces made of conductive material. As long as the minute electric current of the finger can be transmitted to the pen tip, only one or more than one may be formed. For example, the touch pen may have only one contact surface exposed to the outside.

Even when only one conductive contact surface is formed, the front cover 3 of the touch pen of the present invention is formed with three concave surfaces 10 for gripping the user's three fingers. When one finger comes into proper contact, the remaining two fingers will naturally come to rest on the remaining two concave surfaces 10, and as a result, the fingers will come into close contact with the three grooves, This will help guide you to the correct writing posture. To this end, in the present invention, three concave surfaces 10 are formed on the front cover, and three concave surfaces 20 are also formed on the pen body to connect each concave surface 10 of the front cover and each concave surface 20 of the pen body. By guiding the three fingers to rest on these concave surfaces 10 and 20, correction to a correct writing posture is performed.

In the embodiments of the present invention, it has been described above that the pen tip and the finger contact part are coupled by a screw structure, but this is only one example of various coupling methods, and various known methods such as coupling by pushing can be used. It is also possible to form a bonded structure by the following method.

In addition, the contact surface of the finger contact area is made of a highly conductive material such as conductive resin, plating, brass, etc., and the other parts are made of a conductive resin material with the intended conductivity. You can.

As described above, the present invention has been specifically explained by the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings, but the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of preferred examples of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention should not be understood to be limited only to the above-described embodiments, but the scope of the present invention should be understood as the following claims and equivalent concepts thereof.
