Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a case for storing a plurality of writing instruments.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

If the external shape of the writing instruments is the same but the color of the ink or the thickness of the pen body is different, or if the writing instruments are made up of a set of felt-tip pens, ballpoint pens, sharp pencils, etc. of the same shape, take precautions to prevent them from escaping. It is often stored in a case, from which the desired writing instrument is taken out and used. A writing instrument case used for such purposes must have a simple structure, be small in volume, be compact, be able to easily take in and take out the writing instruments, and be able to store them securely. It is preferable if it can also be used. However, conventionally known writing instrument cases do not completely satisfy such requirements.

[Purpose of invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a writing instrument case that satisfies the above-mentioned requirements and also has the function of a paperweight that prevents documents from scattering when placed on top of them.

[Structure of the device and its function]

The writing instrument case of the present invention consists of a case body with a bottom formed by a series of circular arcs forming a substantially polygonal cylinder shape, and a lid body of the same shape that is fitted onto the case body. A plurality of semi-cylindrical storage parts are formed on the same circumference to house the clips with the clips facing the center of the case body, and locking pieces for holding the sides of the writing instrument clips with pressure are provided on the inner wall of the case body. It is characterized by the fact that

That is, since the clip of the writing instrument is housed on the same circumference toward the center of the case body, the volume is small and the writing instrument is housed in a compact state. Since the clip of the writing instrument is held under pressure by the locking piece provided on the inner wall of the case body, the writing instrument can be stored reliably and can be taken out and put in easily. Furthermore, since the case body has a substantially polygonal cylindrical shape, when placed on top of documents, it can also be used as a paperweight to prevent documents from scattering.

〔Example〕

[Prior art and its problems] The drawing shows three writing instruments 10 that have the same external appearance: a felt-tip pen, a ballpoint pen, and a sharp pencil.
A case for storing a set of writing instruments is shown. Note that these writing instruments 10 have a clip 11. The case body 1 is injection molded from synthetic resin, and is a bottomed cylindrical body having a substantially triangular shape formed by connecting three semicircular arcs. Therefore, the inside of the semicircular arc is a semi-cylindrical storage section 3 in which the writing instrument 10 is stored, and the three storage sections 3 are formed on the same circumference. Therefore, case body 1
There is almost no wasted space inside, and its small volume and compact structure make it convenient to carry. A V-shaped locking piece 4 is formed on the inner wall of the case main body 1 at the boundary between the storage sections 3 and 3, and the writing instrument 10 can be stored with its clip 11 facing the center of the case main body 1. When the clip 11 is stored in the section 3, the locking piece 4 presses the side surface of the clip 11 and holds it. Therefore, it is easy to store the writing instrument 10, and since the locking piece 4 has elasticity, it can be held securely.However, since the barrel of the writing instrument 10 is not held, the shaft of the writing instrument 10 can be easily stored even after long-term use. There will be no damage to the tube. In the stored state,
The upper end of the writing instrument 10 protrudes from the opening of the case body 1 and can be easily taken out. Lid body 2
is a bottomed cylindrical body having the same shape as the case body 1, and is fitted into a fitting portion 1a provided on the opening side of the case body 1. When the lid body 2 is fitted, it becomes a complete substantially triangular tube, so that when placed on top of a document, for example, the document will not scatter, and it can also be used as a paperweight.

Note that the number of storage sections 3 is not limited to three, and four or more may be provided, but if the number of storage sections 3 increases, there will be wasted space in the center of the case body 1.
It is most preferable that the storage section 3 is formed into three approximately triangular cylinders as in this embodiment.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the writing instrument case of the present invention has a plurality of semi-cylindrical storage parts formed on the same circumference in the case body, in which the writing instruments are stored with the clip facing the center of the case body. In addition, the locking piece that holds the side of the writing instrument clip under pressure is provided on the inner wall of the case body, so the structure is simple, the volume is small and compact, and the writing instrument can be easily taken in and taken out and stored securely. can. Furthermore, it can be made into a writing instrument case that can also be used as a paperweight.
