Description

本発明はシャープペンシル、ボールペン、マーカーその他の筆記具のクリップに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a clip of a pencil, a ballpoint pen, a marker or other writing instrument.

筆記具のクリップは、軸筒、キャップ、クリップホルダー等の支持部材と一体的に形成したり、別体にクリップ本体を形成して支持部材に組み付けて設けられている。別体の場合には、クリップ本体やばね部をプラスチック材料や金属材料で作り、それらを組み付ける構造のため部品点数も多くなり、コスト的にも経済的に得にくくなる。また、クリップ本体を軸筒等と一体的に作り、クリップの一部にエラストマー樹脂部を設けた筆記具も知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）が、クリップ本体が軸筒に直結的に一体成形されているので、クリップを使用する場合には、クリップの先端をポケット等の被保持部に当てがって該先端を開口させて差し込まなければならない。そのため、クリップの保持力を強くすると、クリップの先端を簡単に開口させることができず、使用しにくくなり、一方容易に差し込めるよう保持力を弱くすると、脱落しやすくなる。
特開２００１−１０２８７号公報（特許請求の範囲、図３、図４） The clip of the writing instrument is formed integrally with a support member such as a shaft cylinder, a cap, a clip holder, or the like, or is formed by assembling the clip body separately on the support member. In the case of a separate body, the clip main body and the spring portion are made of a plastic material or a metal material, and the structure for assembling them increases the number of parts, making it difficult to obtain economically and economically. There is also known a writing instrument in which a clip body is integrally formed with a shaft cylinder or the like and an elastomer resin portion is provided on a part of the clip (see, for example, Patent Document 1), but the clip body is directly connected to the shaft cylinder. Since the clip is integrally formed, when the clip is used, the tip of the clip must be applied to a held portion such as a pocket and the tip must be opened to be inserted. Therefore, if the holding force of the clip is increased, the tip of the clip cannot be easily opened and becomes difficult to use. On the other hand, if the holding force is weakened so that it can be easily inserted, the clip is easily dropped.
JP 2001-10287 A (Claims, FIGS. 3 and 4)

本発明の解決課題は、上記の如き筆記具のクリップにおいて、ポケット等の被保持部に差し込みやすく、保持力も強く、また使用の際に指先が滑りにくく、部品点数も少なく、経済的に得られるようにした筆記具のクリップを提供することである。 The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the clip of the writing instrument as described above can be easily inserted into a held portion such as a pocket, has a strong holding force, is difficult to slip when used, has few parts, and can be obtained economically. It is to provide a clip of writing instrument.

本発明によれば、軸筒、クリップホルダー等の支持部材にクリップ本体を設けた筆記具のクリップにおいて、上記クリップ本体の先端を開口可能に支持するようクリップ本体のクリップ基端と支持部材の支持基端を揺動可能な屈曲片で連結し、上記クリップ基端、支持基端及び屈曲片の外周に軟質材料で構成した軟質被覆層を形成すると共に上記クリップ基端より前方のクリップ本体と上記支持基端間を軟質材料で構成した弾性連結部で連結したことを特徴とする筆記具のクリップが提供され、好ましくは、上記クリップ基端は支持基端より後方に位置し、クリップの後端と支持部材間には、クリップ本体の揺動間隙が設けられている。 According to the present invention, in a clip of a writing instrument in which a clip body is provided on a support member such as a shaft cylinder or a clip holder, the clip base end of the clip body and the support base of the support member are supported so as to be openable. The ends of the clip are connected by a swingable bending piece, a soft covering layer made of a soft material is formed on the outer periphery of the clip base end, the support base end, and the bending piece, and the clip body and the support in front of the clip base end There is provided a clip of a writing instrument characterized in that the base ends are connected by an elastic connecting portion made of a soft material. Preferably, the clip base end is located behind the support base end and is supported by the rear end of the clip. A swinging gap of the clip body is provided between the members.

本発明の上記のように構成され、クリップ本体と支持部材を揺動可能な屈曲片により開口可能に連結したので、クリップの先端を容易に開口させることができ、またクリップ本体と支持部材の支持基端間を軟質材料で構成した弾性連結部で連結したから、クリップの先端を開口させる際に該弾性連結部に作用する復元力がクリップ本体を支持部材側に弾性的に引き寄せる保持力として付加され、クリップ本体の保持力を強くすることができる。その上、上記クリップの先端を開口させるとき、指先が当るクリップの後端と支持部材の外周は軟質被覆層で被覆されているから、指先が滑りにくく、使いやすくすることができる。 Since the clip main body and the support member are configured to be openable by a swingable bending piece, the tip of the clip can be easily opened, and the clip main body and the support member are supported. Since the base ends are connected by an elastic connecting portion made of a soft material, the restoring force acting on the elastic connecting portion when the tip of the clip is opened is added as a holding force that elastically pulls the clip body toward the support member. Thus, the holding force of the clip body can be increased. In addition, when the tip of the clip is opened, the rear end of the clip against which the fingertip hits and the outer periphery of the support member are covered with the soft coating layer.

図１、図２は本発明の一実施例を示し、クリップ（１）は、軸筒、キャップ、クリップホルダーその他適宜の支持部材に設けることができるが、図においては筆記具（２）の軸筒の後端に取り付けられるクリップホルダー（３）に形成されており、金属材料若しくは図に示すようにプラスチック材料により一体成形されたクリップ本体（４）、ホルダー本体（５）及び屈曲片（６）を具備している。 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, and the clip (1) can be provided on a shaft tube, a cap, a clip holder, or other appropriate support member. In the figure, the shaft tube of the writing instrument (2) is shown. A clip body (4), a holder body (5), and a bent piece (6) integrally formed of a metal material or a plastic material as shown in the figure. It has.

上記屈曲片（６）は、クリップ本体（４）の先端を開口可能に支持するようクリップ基端（７）とホルダー本体（５）の支持基端（８）を連結し、揺動可能に設けられている。該屈曲片（６）の揺動構造は適宜にできるが、図１、図２に示す屈曲片（６）は、上記クリップ本体（４）に沿ってほぼ並行に延びる並行部（９）を有し、該並行部（９）の両端にそれぞれ上記クリップ基端（７）及び支持基端（８）に一体的に連結する略Ｌ字状の端部（１０）を有している。なお、図４（Ａ）に示すように、並行部（９）の途中に略Ｕ字状の撓み部（１１）を設けたり、並行部（９）を傾斜させて設けたり（図４（Ｂ））、その他適宜の形状にしてもよい。 The bent piece (6) is provided so as to be swingable by connecting the clip base end (7) and the support base end (8) of the holder body (5) so as to support the tip of the clip body (4) so as to be openable. It has been. Although the swinging structure of the bent piece (6) can be appropriately selected, the bent piece (6) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a parallel portion (9) extending substantially in parallel with the clip body (4). The parallel portion (9) has substantially L-shaped end portions (10) that are integrally connected to the clip base end (7) and the support base end (8), respectively. In addition, as shown to FIG. 4 (A), the substantially U-shaped bending part (11) is provided in the middle of the parallel part (9), or the parallel part (9) is inclined and provided (FIG. 4 (B)). )) Other suitable shapes may also be used.

また、上記屈曲片（６）により連結されるクリップ基端と支持基端は、適宜位置に設けることができるが、筆記具の軸筒の軸方向に沿って、好ましくは、クリップ基端（７）が支持基端（８）よりも後方に位置するよう設けるとよい。このようにすると、クリップ本体の後端と支持部材間にクリップ本体の揺動間隙（１２）を確実に形成するすることができ、使いやすくできる。なお、屈曲片の構造によってはクリップ基端を支持基端よりも前方に設けることもできる。 Further, the clip base end and the support base end connected by the bent piece (6) can be provided at appropriate positions, but preferably along the axial direction of the shaft cylinder of the writing instrument, preferably the clip base end (7) It is good to provide so that it may be located behind a support base end (8). If it does in this way, the rocking | fluctuation space | gap (12) of a clip main body can be formed reliably between the rear end of a clip main body, and a supporting member, and it can use easily. Depending on the structure of the bent piece, the clip base end can be provided in front of the support base end.

而して、クリップ基端（７）、支持基端（８）及び屈曲片（６）の外周には、軟質材料で構成した軟質被覆層（１３）が形成され、また上記クリップ基端より前方のクリップ本体（４）と上記支持基端（８）間には軟質材料で形成した弾性連結部（１４）が上記軟質被覆層（１３）と同時に一体的に形成されているが、軟質被覆層と弾性連結部の材質、強度等を変えて設けてもよい。上記軟質材料としてはエラストマー樹脂等が好適に用いられ、多色成形やインサート成形の要領により上記クリップ本体等と一体的に成形される。 Thus, a soft coating layer (13) made of a soft material is formed on the outer periphery of the clip base end (7), the support base end (8), and the bent piece (6), and forward of the clip base end. Between the clip body (4) and the support base end (8), an elastic connecting portion (14) made of a soft material is formed integrally with the soft coating layer (13). Further, the elastic connecting portion may be provided by changing the material, strength, and the like. As the soft material, an elastomer resin or the like is preferably used, and is integrally formed with the clip body or the like by multicolor molding or insert molding.

上記の構成により、クリップを使用するには、図３に示すようにクリップ本体（４）の後端とホルダー本体（５）を指先でつまめば、指先が滑ることなくクリップ本体（４）の先端が容易に開口するので、ポケット等の被保持部に簡単に差し込むこともできる。指先を離せば、上記弾性連結部（１４）に作用する矢印（１５）方向の復元力がクリップ本体の保持力に付加されるので、ポケット等から脱落しにくくすることができる。 With the above configuration, in order to use the clip, as shown in FIG. 3, if the rear end of the clip main body (4) and the holder main body (5) are pinched with the fingertips, the tip of the clip main body (4) does not slip. Can easily be inserted into a held portion such as a pocket. When the fingertip is released, the restoring force in the direction of the arrow (15) acting on the elastic connecting portion (14) is added to the holding force of the clip body, so that it is difficult to drop off from the pocket or the like.
