Description

  The present invention relates to a seal with an open / close cap, which can be opened by a one-touch operation, and in particular, can be placed in an unobstructed position even when the cap is opened. It is about.

  Conventionally, various types of seals with an open / close cap have been known, and the most primitive one is a cap type that is detachable. However, in this case, since the removed cap may be lost, even when the cap is opened, a type in which the cap is connected to the seal case so as not to be lost has been developed.

  As such a type, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a cap is attached to the upper end portion of the case via a hinge, and the cap is turned 180 degrees around the hinge to open the cap to expose the marking surface. As shown in Patent Document 2 or Patent Document 2, the cap is pivoted horizontally around a pin provided at the upper end of the case, and the cap is rotated 180 degrees horizontally around the pin. There is something that is moved to expose the marking surface.

However, in either case, the cap is rotated 180 degrees to hold the marking surface, and is held in a state where the cap protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the case. There was a problem and there was a problem that it might be damaged by hitting the cap.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and can open the cap during use to easily expose the marking surface, and keep the cap in an unobstructed position in the opened state. It was completed for the purpose of providing a seal that can be made.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the seal of the present invention has a printed body housed in a bottomed cylindrical case body having a cap that can be freely opened and closed at the upper end opening. A seal with a cap that exposes the case body, provided with a case-side bearing portion having an inclined surface inclined in a divergent shape toward the lower side at the upper edge portion of the case body, and the case at the lower edge portion of the cap A cap-side bearing with an inclined surface that is in close contact with the side-bearing portion, and a cap shaft support pin is suspended from the inclined surface, and the cap closes the opening of the case body around this pin. It moves to the position which follows the side wall of a case main body, and it provided so that it could rotate freely to the perpendicular state which opened the opening part.

  The seal stamp of the present invention is a seal stamp with a cap that opens the cap and exposes the marking surface when in use, and moves the cap from a horizontal state where the opening of the case body is closed to a position along the side wall of the case body Since the structure is provided so that it can be pivoted to the vertical state where the opening is opened, the cap can be opened by one-touch operation, and the opened cap can be opened even when it is open. And can be used conveniently.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 11 is a front view showing a seal of the present invention, 2 is a side view, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the main part, 4 is an exploded perspective view of the main part, and 1 is a bottomed cylindrical case body, 2 Is a printing body housed in the case body 1, 3 is a cap that can freely open and close the upper end opening of the printing body 1, and 4 is a clip. When used, the cap 3 is opened to expose the printing surface of the printing body 2. It is a seal with a cap configured in the above.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a case side bearing portion 5 having an inclined surface 5 a inclined in a divergent shape toward the lower side is provided at the upper edge portion of the case body 1, while the lower edge portion of the cap 3 is provided. A cap side bearing portion 6 having an inclined surface 6a in close contact with the case side bearing portion 5 is provided, and a pin 7 for supporting a cap shaft is vertically provided on the inclined surface, whereby the pin 7 is centered. The cap 3 is configured to move freely from a horizontal state where the opening 1a of the case body 1 is closed to a position along the side wall of the case body 1 and to a vertical state where the opening 1a is opened. .
In other words, in the present invention, the cap 3 is pivotally attached to the cap shaft 7 so that the cap 3 can be rotated from the vertical direction to the parallel direction with respect to the axial direction of the case body 1 (FIG. 1). , See FIG.
As a result, when the seal 3 is used with the cap 3 opened, the cap 3 is in a position along the side wall of the case body 1 and does not protrude in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the case as in the prior art. It will be easy to use without getting in the way.

  In order to ensure smooth rotation of the cap 3, the shape of the upper end surface of the opening and the lower end surface of the case body 1 is a three-dimensional curved surface that can prevent the cap 3 and the case body 1 from colliding with each other. It is formed into a shape. In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an arc that is symmetrical about the pin 7 that is the center of rotation of the cap 3 and that the portion near the pin side bulges downward greatly when viewed from the front. Furthermore, it has a gentle three-dimensional curved surface shape that is an arc slightly bulging upward toward the tip.

Further, in the illustrated example, the case-side bearing portion 5 and the cap-side bearing portion 6 are formed on the clip 4 provided on the side surface of the case main body 1, and are easy to use without projecting separate members. It is excellent, and there is no sense of incongruity in Dezan.
Further, a spring 8 is mounted on the pin 7 for supporting the cap shaft, and a bearing 8a biased by the spring 8b is mounted on at least one of the inclined surfaces 5a and 6a of the bearing portion. The smooth rotation of the cap 3 is ensured (see FIGS. 4 and 9).

Reference numeral 8c denotes a recess for positioning the bearing 8a, and the cap 3 is firmly fixed in the closed state and the open state of the cap 3 by engaging both.
In addition, 9 is a stopper, 10 is an engaging groove, and the cap 3 rotates in only one direction, and has a structure that allows the cap 3 to be aligned when the lid is closed (see FIG. 8).

In addition, the cap 3 is normally prevented from opening because its rotation is restricted, and the cap 3 is opened only when the seal is used.
In other words, in the present invention, the printing body 2 is housed in the case body 1 so that the tip end is positioned higher than the upper end opening 1a of the case body 1 with the cap 3 closed. The rotation of the cap 3 is restricted by the protruding end portion of the printing body 2 (see FIG. 1).
On the other hand, when the cap 3 is rotated, the front end portion of the printing body 2 cannot hit the cap 3 and cannot be rotated. Therefore, for example, the moving printing body 2 is not obstructed so as to ensure the rotation of the cap 3. It has a structure with a release mechanism for releasing the cap rotation restriction such as lowering to a position or raising the cap 3 to a position that does not get in the way.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the release mechanism includes a cylindrical inner case body 11 that houses the printing body 2 and is built in the case body 1 so as to be movable up and down, and a guide provided inside the case body 1. A guide groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the inner case body to be engaged with the guide pin 12. The guide groove 13 is guided by the guide pin 12 by the rotation of the inner case body 11. The character body 2 can be lowered by a predetermined length to release the rotation restriction of the cap 3. FIG. 11 shows the inner case body 11.

Hereinafter, the operation of the release mechanism will be described.
When opening the cap 3, first, the inner case body 11 is turned. As a result, the guide groove 13 is guided by the guide pin 12 and the inner case body 11 is lowered by a predetermined length, and the printing body 2 attached to the leading end is also lowered by a predetermined length (see FIG. 6). ). Then, the state in which the rotation of the cap 3 is normally restricted by the tip of the printing body 2 protruding from the opening 1a is released, and the rotation of the cap 3 becomes possible (see FIG. 7).
In this state, the cap 3 is moved from the horizontal state in which the opening of the case body 1 is closed around the pin 7 to the position along the side wall of the case body 1 to the vertical state in which the opening 1a is opened. . Thereafter, the inner case body 11 is turned up by an operation reverse to the above, and the front end portion of the printing body 2 is projected from the opening 1a again (see FIGS. 8 and 9).
In this way, the cap 3 is imprinted with the cap 3 open, but the cap 3 is in an unobstructed position, so that it is possible to obtain a very excellent usability.

  In addition, as a release mechanism, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, the case side and the cap side bearing portion are formed so as to be movable in the axial direction with respect to the case main body, and the case side and cap side bearing portion 6 are formed. Is moved upward by a predetermined length, or the case main body 1 is lowered by a predetermined length so that the leading end of the printed body is positioned relatively lower than the lower end surface of the cap. It can also be configured to release the dynamic regulation.

In this case, when the cap 3 is opened, first, the cap 3 is slightly lifted so that the lower end surface of the cap is positioned higher than the front end portion and height of the printing body 2 protruding from the opening 1a (see FIGS. 13 and 14). reference). 18 to 19 show this cross-sectional view. Next, by rotating the cap 3 around the pin 7 in this state, the cap 3 is moved from a horizontal state where the opening of the case body 1 is closed to a position along the side wall of the case body 1. Thus, the opening 1a is opened (see FIGS. 15 to 17).
If the seal is made in this state, the cap 3 is in an unobstructed position, so that it is possible to obtain a very excellent usability.

  For example, a gear mechanism (not shown) or the like is interposed so that the operation of the release mechanism and the rotation of the cap 3 or the rotation of the cap 3 and the up-and-down movement of the printing body are linked. It is also possible to configure so that the printing body 2 is automatically lowered with the opening and closing.

  Further, if the upper surface of the cap 3 is formed as an arcuate curved surface that bulges upward, there is no corner portion, so that the cap 3 is not caught and has excellent handleability. Further, if the top surface of the cap 3 is provided with a concavo-convex shape, it does not slip when the cap is opened and closed with a finger, and is excellent in usability.

  As is clear from the above description, the seal of the present invention has a printed body housed in a bottomed cylindrical case body with a cap that can be opened and closed at the upper end opening. In a seal with a cap that exposes the cap, the cap can be rotated from a horizontal state in which the opening of the case body is closed to a position along the side wall of the case body to a vertical state in which the opening is opened Therefore, the cap can be placed at a position where it does not get in the way during use, and a seal that is easy to use can be provided. Moreover, since there is no fear of misplacement or loss even when the cap is opened, there is an advantage that it can be used with confidence.
