  The present invention relates to a writing instrument such as a ballpoint pen, a fountain pen, and a mechanical pencil (trademark), and a decorative frame applied to the writing instrument.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a decoration piece attached to a long and narrow clip of a writing instrument has been proposed as a means for achieving decoration of the writing instrument itself, individualization between different kinds of writing instruments, differentiation, and the like (see Patent Document 1 below).

The decorative piece includes a cylindrical member made of an elastic body having a vertical slit and a decorative object attached to the cylindrical member, and the cylindrical member is a clip of a writing instrument to which the decorative piece is attached. Has a shorter length dimension. This decorative piece is attached to the clip by inserting a clip of a writing instrument into the cylindrical member from its open end. The cylindrical member is elastically deformed so as to be expanded in the radial direction as the clip is inserted therein, and the width of the vertical slit is increased. On the other hand, the clip received in the cylindrical member receives the elastic restoring force of the cylindrical member from its periphery and is placed in a tightened state. Further, the decoration piece can be removed from the clip by pulling the cylindrical member and thereby removing the clip from the cylindrical member.
JP 2008-12897 A

  By the way, in the conventional decorative piece, when an external force is applied thereto, the cylindrical member is elastically deformed, and accordingly, the cylindrical member is detached from the clip through the vertical slit of the cylindrical member. There are times when the decorative piece is lost during the season. Further, the decorative piece attached to the clip is difficult to move because it is fixed to the clip by the action of the elastic restoring force of the cylindrical member on the clip, and the decorative piece is not moved. It may become an obstacle when putting it in a pocket.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a writing tool and a structure of a decorative piece for preventing an unexpected loss of the decorative piece detachably attached to the writing tool. Another object of the present invention is to provide a writing instrument and a decoration piece structure that eliminates obstacles when the writing instrument to which the decoration piece is attached is inserted into a pocket or the like.

  The present invention relates to a decorative piece, a writing instrument to which the decorative piece is applied, and a combination thereof. The writing instrument to which the decorative piece is applied includes a pen shaft and a clip attached to the pen shaft, and the clip is elastically deformed based on the material thereof, pivoted based on the attachment structure to the pen shaft, and the like. It can be biased so that the distance between the free end and the pen shaft is increased.

  In the present invention, the clip includes a slot having one end that opens to an edge that defines an outline of the clip, and the decorative piece is a pin for holding the decorative piece on the clip, and the slot of the clip A pin which is received from one open end of the slot so as to pass through the slot, and allows the decoration piece to move along the slot, and the pen shaft is arranged from the open end of the slot of the clip. And a stopper for preventing the pin of the decorative piece from getting over within the range of the deviation of the clip. In the present invention, the pin of the decorative piece may be rotatable about its axis in the slot of the clip.

  According to the present invention, the decorative piece is movable along a slot provided in the clip of the writing instrument through its pin, and more specifically, the closed other end of the slot and the pen shaft of the writing instrument. The clip can be held so as to be movable between the stopper and the stopper provided on the clip. The decoration piece held in this way has a strong resistance to an external force acting on it, and is difficult to come off from the stopper. For this reason, it is possible to effectively prevent the decorative piece from being lost while it is unknown. The decorative piece attached to the clip and movable along the slot moves along the slot by hitting a part of the decorative piece into the pocket, so that the decorative piece is moved to the clip. On the other hand, it is possible to eliminate the obstruction of inserting the writing instrument into the pocket, which occurs when staying in one place.

  Furthermore, by moving the decorative piece attached to the writing instrument along the slot, or by allowing the decorative piece to rotate around the axis of the pin, the character, photograph, character, etc. represented on the decorative piece You can enjoy the change of movement.

  The decorative frame can be attached to and detached from the clip of the writing instrument as described later, and can be replaced with a favorite decorative frame selected from a variety of different decorative frames prepared in advance. . In addition, the decorativeness of the writing instrument can be diversified by replacing the decorative piece.

  In order to attach the decorative piece, first, the pin of the decorative piece is inserted into the slot of the clip from one end of the opening, abuts against a stopper provided on the pen shaft of the writing instrument, and then the clip is biased. The free end portion is pulled up so that the pin of the decorative piece is positioned at a height above the stopper. Accordingly, the pin can get over the stopper without hitting the stopper. Next, the decorative piece is advanced toward the other closed end of the slot, and the clip is returned to the original state before the bias. Accordingly, the decorative piece is attached to the clip in a state where the pin is placed between the other end of the slot and the stopper.

  On the other hand, in order to remove the decorative piece attached to the clip, the decorative piece is moved toward the open end of the slot, the pin is abutted against the stopper, and then the clip is biased to remove the pin. It can be performed by placing the decorative piece above the stopper, moving the decorative piece toward the open end of the slot, and removing the pin from the open end of the slot.

  Referring to FIGS. 1a and 1b, there is shown a combination 5 of a writing instrument 1 made of a ballpoint pen and a decorative piece 3 attached thereto, according to the present invention. The writing instrument 1 may be of any kind as long as it has a clip. Examples of the writing instrument 1 include a fountain pen, a mechanical pencil (trademark), a marking pen, and the like in addition to the ballpoint pen.

  The writing instrument 1 includes a pen shaft 7 and a clip 9 attached to the pen shaft. The pen shaft 7 includes a long cylinder 11 and a short cylinder 13 detachably connected to the long cylinder at one end thereof in a coaxial manner. The pen shaft 7 can be composed of a single or three or more cylinders instead of the illustrated example consisting of the two cylinders 11 and 13.

  Inside the pen shaft 7, an ink core 17 (see FIG. 3a) having one end to which a pen tip 15 is attached is held so as to be able to reciprocate in the axial direction. The nib 15 at one end of the ink core 17 protrudes from the other end of the long cylinder 11, and the other end of the ink core 17 protrudes from the short cylinder 13. The other end of the ink core 17 protruding from the short cylinder 13 is covered with a push button 19 fitted to the short cylinder 13. The writing instrument 1 is provided with a mechanism (not shown) in the pen shaft 7 for causing the pen tip 15 to move in and out of the pen shaft 7 by a pressing operation on the ink core 17 by the push button 19, that is, a so-called knock operation.

  The clip 9 of the writing instrument 1 shown as an example in FIG. 1 is formed of an elongated plate-like body that is bent into an L shape as a whole. This plate-like body has a gap a between the base 21 extending from the short cylinder 13 of the pen shaft 7 outward in the radial direction and the short cylinder 13 and the long cylinder 11 or the pen shaft 7 from the base. And a free end 23 extending along and parallel to them. The free end portion 23 is in contact with the peripheral surface of the long cylindrical body 11 through a protrusion 25 provided at the tip thereof. When the writing instrument 1 is inserted into a pocket or the like, a part of the pocket or the like is sandwiched between the projection 25 and the peripheral surface of the shaft 7.

  The clip 9 is made of an elastic material such as plastic. The clip 9 can be elastically deformed so that the free end 23 is warped by applying a lifting force or a pushing force to the tip of the free end 23, and can be biased with respect to the pen shaft 7 (FIG. 2c). And FIG. 3b). As a result, the protrusion 25 of the free end 23 of the clip 9 is separated from the peripheral surface of the pen shaft 7, and the distance a between the free end 23 and the peripheral surface of the pen shaft 7 is increased. Regardless of the material of which the clip 9 is formed, the clip 9 is pivotally attached to the pen shaft 7 at, for example, the base portion 21, and the distance between the free end portion 23 and the pen shaft 7 by the pivoting or swinging of the pen shaft 7. a may be variable.

  In the present invention, the clip 9 is provided with a slot 27 that forms a part of a means for attaching the decorative piece 3 to the writing instrument 1. The slot 27 extends linearly in the longitudinal direction of the clip 9 at the center in the width direction of the clip 9. The slot 27 terminates in the free end 23 with an edge 29 defining the contour of the clip 9, in the illustrated example, an end 29 that opens through the base 21 of the clip 9 at the boundary between the base and its free end 23. It has the other end 31, that is, the closed other end 31 that ends before reaching the tip of the free end portion 23. Instead of the illustrated example in which the slot 27 extends linearly, the slot 27 may extend in a zigzag pattern or a corrugated pattern, for example. Further, the clip 9 may have a planar shape such as a circle or another polygon instead of the illustrated example in which the free end portion 23 has a rectangular planar shape as a whole.

  The decorative piece 3 has a pin 33 that can be inserted into the slot 27 of the clip 9 from its open end 29. The pin 33 extends in the thickness direction of the free end portion 23 of the clip 9 and passes through the slot 27 when viewed in the state shown in FIG. The pin 33 has a head 37 at one end thereof (lower end as viewed in FIG. 1b). Further, the decoration piece 3 has a circular plate-like body 35 that is connected to the other end (the same upper end) of the pin 33 at right angles thereto. When the pin 33 is passed through the slot 27, the head portion 37 of the pin 33 and the plate-like body 35 leave the free end 23 with a slight gap between them and the free end 23 of the clip 9. Hold it. As a result, the decorative piece 3 is held by the clip 9 so as to be movable along the slot 27. Further, by setting the cross-sectional shape of the pin 33 to, for example, a circle, the decorative piece 3 can be rotated around the axis of the pin 33.

  On the plate-like body 35 of the decoration piece 3, characters, figures, photographs and the like for decoration are represented. The plate-like body 35 may have an elliptical shape, a star shape, a polygonal shape or the like instead of the illustrated example having a circular planar shape. Further, the plate-like body 35 may be formed to have a planar shape such as the character.

  In the present invention, a stopper 39 is further provided on the peripheral surface of the pen shaft 7. The stopper 39 prevents the pin 33 of the decorative piece 3 from coming out of the open end 29 of the slot 27, thereby preventing the decorative piece 3 from being separated from the writing instrument 1, and the closed other end 31 of the slot 27. The possibility of movement of the decorative piece 3 along the slot 27 between the stopper 39 and the stopper 39 is ensured.

  The stopper 39 is located below the slot 27 in the free end 23 of the clip 9 as viewed in FIG. 1b, and faces radially outward from the peripheral surface of the pen shaft 7, preferably the peripheral surface of the short cylinder 11. Protruding. The decoration piece 3 is prevented from moving when it moves toward the open end 29 of the slot 27 and the head 37 of the pin 33 hits the stopper 39. The stopper 39 is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the base 21 of the clip 9.

  The decoration piece 3 can be attached to the clip 9 of the writing instrument 1 as follows. First, the pin 33 of the decorative piece 3 is directed to the open end 29 of the slot 27 (FIG. 2 a), and this is inserted into the slot 27 from the open end 29. Thus, if the head portion 37 of the pin 33 hits the stopper 39 (FIGS. 2b and 3a), a finger is applied to the tip of the free end portion 23 of the clip 9 to pull it up, and the free end portion 23 warps. Thus, it is elastically deformed (biased) as shown in FIGS. 2c and 3b. As a result, the head 37 of the pin 33 is positioned so that it is above the stopper 39. When the decorative piece 3 is moved toward the closed other end 31 of the slot 27 during this time, the head 37 of the pin 33 slides on the stopper 39 or does not contact with it within the range of the deviation of the clip 9. Over the stopper 39 (FIGS. 2d, 3c, and 3d). As a result, the decorative piece 3 is held by the clip 9 so as to be movable between the closed other end 31 of the slot 27 and the stopper 39.

  Moreover, the decoration piece 3 attached to the clip 9 of the writing instrument 1 can be removed as follows. First, the decoration piece 3 is moved along the slot 27 so that the head 37 of the pin 33 hits the stopper 39. Next, in the same manner as when the decorative piece 3 is attached, a finger is applied to the tip of the free end 23 of the clip 9 and pulled up to be elastically deformed so that the free end 23 is warped. The head 37 of the pin 33 is positioned so that it is at a height above the stopper 39. During this time, the decorative piece 3 is moved toward the open end 29 of the slot 27. As a result, the pin 33 of the decorative piece 3 gets over the stopper 39 and comes out of the open end 29 of the slot 27. As a result, the decorative piece 3 is removed from the clip 9.

  The decoration piece 3 can be replaced with respect to the writing instrument 1 by preparing in advance various types of decoration pieces 3 having different characters and shapes. In carrying out the present invention, for the convenience of the owner of the writing instrument 1, a plurality of types of decorative pieces 3 are provided alone, or a combination of the writing instrument 1 and one or more decorative pieces 3 that can be attached thereto. It can be provided as a combination of the writing instrument 1 and one decoration piece 3 attached thereto, or can be provided only as the writing instrument 1 in which the decoration piece 3 can be replaced.
