Description

  The present invention relates to a touch pen for input in a touch panel type information terminal device (tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.).

  In recent years, various touch panel type information terminal devices (tablet terminals, smartphones, and the like) have come to be used generally, and pen-type touch pens are often used as input devices in them. However, with the miniaturization of information terminal devices, touch pens have also been miniaturized, and problems such as being difficult to hold, difficult to use, easy to get tired, and easy to lose have occurred.

  Among these, in order to cope with the problem of being easily lost, a device in which a touch pen can be stored in the information terminal device main body is well known. Further, as a structure that can be attached to the strap while being thinner and easier to hold than the round shaft type pen type, a structure that can be attached to the strap attached to the main body of the information terminal device is disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example. Etc. are disclosed.

  However, conventional touch pens such as those shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, always require a mechanism to be attached to the strap, and need to be removed when used, so there is a problem that it cannot be said to be very convenient. there were.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and while taking advantage of the thin and easy to hold, it does not require a mechanism and trouble to attach to the strap, is easy to use, is not fatigued, and is lost. The purpose is to provide a difficult touch pen.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a touch pen for a user to input information to an information terminal device capable of touch input, and includes a grip portion formed in a substantially flat plate shape, and the grip portion. A pen tip portion provided continuously, and a clip portion provided continuously to the grip portion in a direction opposite to the pen tip portion, the clip portion having substantially the same size as the grip portion. It is an outer shape, folded back at a portion continuous with the gripping portion so as to be able to sandwich another thin object integrally with the gripping portion, and gripped by the user at the center of the clip portion When the user's thumb is inserted , a hole is formed.

  According to the touch pen of the present invention, when the user's thumb enters the grip portion formed in a substantially flat plate shape and the clip portion continuously folded back to the grip portion, the user can thin the grip portion only. Because it is in a state where it is used with a touch pen, it does not require the force of the fingertips, and because the thumb stabilizes by entering the hole in the clip part, it is thin and easy to hold, easy to use and less fatigue There is. In addition, since another thin object can be sandwiched between the gripping part and the clip part, it can be carried on the user's bag or notebook, so that there is an advantage that it is difficult to lose.

5 is a perspective view illustrating an example of a touch pen in Embodiment 1. FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which the user is holding and using the touch pen shown in FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which has attached the touch pen shown in FIG. 1 to the bag which the user is carrying.

The present invention relates to a touch pen for input in a touch panel type information terminal device (tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.).
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a touch pen according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the touch pen 10 according to the first embodiment is a touch pen for a user to input information to an information terminal device capable of touch input, and has a grip portion formed in a substantially flat plate shape. 1, a pen tip portion 2 provided continuously with the grip portion 1, and a clip portion 3 provided continuously with the grip portion 1 in a direction opposite to the pen tip portion 2.

  The clip portion 3 has an outer shape that is substantially the same size as the grip portion 1 and is continuous with the grip portion 1 so that another thin object (such as a bag or notebook) can be sandwiched integrally with the grip portion 1. At the center of the clip portion 3, a hole 31 having a size that allows the user's thumb to enter when the user grips is formed.

  Here, when compared with a conventional touch pen, if a conventional normal round shaft bar type touch pen is simply made short and compact, it is difficult to hold because it is small. Also, if the touch pen is shorter than the user's thumb, it must be held only by the fingertips, and more effort will be applied to the fingertips than before, making it easier to get tired. Therefore, if the thickness of the touch pen is reduced, the force of the fingertip is not so necessary.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the user holds and uses the touch pen 10 illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, when a user inputs information to the information terminal device 100 capable of touch input, the grip portion 1 formed in a substantially flat plate shape and continuously folded back on the grip portion 1. Since the user's thumb enters the clip portion 3, the user is in a state of using a thin touch pen of the grip portion 1 only. Since it is stabilized by entering the hole 31 of the clip portion 3, it is thin and easy to hold, easy to use and less fatigued.

  This is because when the user's thumb belly enters the hole 31 of the clip portion 3 of the touch pen 10, the user feels thin and the force at the fingertips is not required. Further, when the user's thumb belly enters the hole 31 of the clip portion 3 of the touch pen 10, a finger is put on the frame of the hole 31, and the touch pen becomes stable. This sense of stability does not require the strength of the fingertips, improves the feeling of use, and can be used without stress.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a state where the touch pen 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the bag 4 carried by the user. FIG. 3 shows a state where the clip portion 3 is integrated with the grip portion 1 and the edge portion (thin object) of the bag 4 is sandwiched and held. That is, when the touch pen 10 is not used, it can be attached and held like a general clip on the user's bag 4 or a notebook, and is thus not easily lost.

  In addition, although the material of the touch pen 10 in this Embodiment 1 is a conductive plastic, according to the touch detection method and detection accuracy of the information terminal device 100, the material of the touch pen 10 is polyethylene or the like, a conductive polymer, or the like. Since it is well known that various things are used, detailed description is omitted here.

  As described above, according to the touch pen 10 of the first embodiment, the user's thumb enters the grip portion 1 formed in a substantially flat plate shape and the clip portion 3 continuously folded back on the grip portion 1. As a result, the user is in a state of using the touch pen with a thin thickness of only the grip portion 1, so that the user does not need the force of the fingertip and is stable when the thumb enters the hole 31 of the clip portion 3. Therefore, it has the advantages of being thin and easy to hold, easy to use and less fatigued. In addition, since another thin object can be sandwiched between the grip portion 1 and the clip portion 3, it can be carried on a user's bag or notebook, so that there is an advantage that it is difficult to lose.

  In the present invention, any constituent element of the embodiment can be modified or any constituent element of the embodiment can be omitted within the scope of the invention.
