Abstract

The invention relates to a writing and drawing arrangement, referred to as a finger pen (2, 3, 4). We have clung to the traditional notion that pens or pencils must be rod-shaped in spite of the fact that this subjects the fine-motor function of the user to unnecessarily stringent demands. A study of the development of the fine-motor function of children proves that a semi-supine grip on rod-shaped pens or pencils can normally not be achieved out before the age of 6-7 years. The invention solves this problem by means of a finger pen (2, 3, 4), prone holding (1) of which is already possible at an age of 2-3 years, which generally makes possible its use in a manner which as regards the fine-motor function is simplified. Pen nib (5) projects from or in the vicinity of sensible centre of feeling (7) of writing/drawing finger (6) and is so angled that the point at which it contacts the writing/drawing surface will be seen by the user. Various alternatives of finger pen (2, 3, 4) are possible, e.g. of open type (2), closed type (3) or contoured shape (4). The invention applies mainly to writing/drawing while holding the pen in a prone position (1).

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Title of invention: writing device The present invention relates to a writing device, and more particularly to a writing device that is equipped with a liquid container that communicates with a pen tip. A writing device called a finger pen, which is attached to the user's fingertip and writes on the writing surface. related.

In the following explanation, concepts related to hand position, etc. are defined as follows. There is.

"Spin position of the hand" - "Semi-spin position of the hand" with the palm facing upwards -Palm turned sideways "Hand position" - Palm facing downward "Sensitive central part" - When grasping a small object using the thumb, a brush that balances the object so that it can be skillfully manipulated. A point with a finger to mark.

Writing instruments commonly known as so-called pens have traditionally been made of graphite, ink, It is shaped like a stick that contains glue, etc., and when the tip of the pen touches the surface of an object, the pen It is designed to be drawn according to the movement of the target. And the ancestor of the modern pen was in the shape of a stick, similar to brushes, gas pens, steel pens, etc.

Once stick-shaped pens began to be produced, manufacturers began to develop other types of pens, both technologically and materially. They no longer produce pens. However, with today's manufacturing technology, There is no doubt that new attempts at more effective design are possible. There is no land.

We believe that a stick-shaped pen can improve the user's fine-motor function. ：The function that transmits detailed instructions from the brain to the limbs and controls subtle movements) than necessary In the past, pens had to be stick-shaped, despite the fact that they required more Unfortunately, we are stuck in a fixed mindset. This problem is caused by children's fine motor can be easily understood by studying the development of Children's brain fine motor machine Noh is usually performed by holding a pen or pencil in a semi-spin position until 6-7 o. They are not developed enough to hold a traditional pen, and holding a traditional pen is too complicated for them. It has been proven that this is the case.

By making full use of modern technology and materials, the present invention allows the user to use a traditional pen or A pen with fewer fine motor functions, that is, our fine motor It allows you to choose between using a pen that will help you reach the next stage of your development more quickly. , thereby aiming to solve the above problems.

The present invention, which is shown as a finger pen having the above-described configuration, can be applied to a normal file pen. In terms of development of motor skills, prongs reach that ability by the age of 2 or 3. It is assumed that you will be holding a pen in the pen. Therefore, according to the present invention, Simplifies holding the pen in general; functionally correct for younger children be able to handle a pen in a state; It becomes easier for school-aged children to learn to write and draw; Great for adults with insufficient fine motor function to handle a pen. It brings about advantages such as:

The second advantage of finger pens is that they are useful for writing, especially for left-handed people. The fact is that things look better.

Finger pens have a pen tip that comes from or away from the sensitive center of the writing finger. from near the pen toward the writing surface at an angle that allows the user's eyes to see the tip. It can be used most effectively when it is stretched diagonally.

Furthermore, the detailed description of the finger pen sets forth the features claimed in claim 1. clearly shown in the section.

Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which FIGS. Three different writing devices are depicted, namely finger pens. this Hold the finger pen in the forward position as shown by the symbol 1. . Figure 2.3.6 shows the open type finger pen 2, Figure 4.5.7 shows the open type finger pen 2. In Figure 9.10, the rose-type finger pen 3 is replaced with the rest-type finger pen 4. However, FIG. 11 also shows the guards of the pen tips.

The common parts of the finger pens 2.3.4 are constructed as follows.

The pen tip 5 starts from or near the central part 7 where the user's fingers 6 are sensitive. It is protruding and somewhat angled as shown in the accompanying drawings. sand In other words, this angle is the pen angle when writing with a normal pen in a semi-spin state. It can be said that they are almost in agreement. As a result, these finger pens The user can see the point where the pen tip 5 contacts the writing surface 8. Also, finger Pen 2.3.4 has a guard 9 that covers the nib 5 when not in use. Ru. Each different finger pen 2.3.4 has a container 1 for holding glue, ink, etc. 0, which communicates directly with the pen tip 5 and supports the support grip 11. Regardless of whether it is attached or not, its size is as large as possible.

The above-mentioned finger pen 2.3.4 has a different configuration in the following points.

The diagram on page 7 shows the open type 12 of the finger pen 2 and the finger - Closed type of pen 3, inner surface 13 is suitable for use in ergonomically correct condition. Designed to follow the user's finger, finger pens 2 and 3, finger pen 3 are Although it will only be complete with a grip and buckle as shown in 4. Between the inner surface 13 and the user's finger 6 caused by its material and design It is possible to hold it without shifting by the force of pressure and friction. finger pen 2 and 3 is complete with support grip 11 on page 8, in which case the above Support Grip 1 is designed to be held in the manner described in With the help of 1, it is maintained.

Figure 8.9.10 shows the outline of the finger ben 4, the contact surface 15 of which , so that it fits well under the user's finger 6. Extension of contact surface 15 On the line is a support for holding the finger pen 4 on the user's finger 6. A port grip 11 is provided.
