Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a clip-handed writing instrument, in which the shaft or cap of the writing instrument has at least one recess for positively receiving the securing member of the clip.

This type of writing instrument is known, for example, from the Federal Republic of Germany Patent No. 2
It is known from No. 77252. A disadvantage of this known construction is that the clip can only be attached from one direction at any time, so that automated attachment is not possible or only possible with great expense. In this case, however, it is always necessary to attach seals or other additional parts, either simultaneously or one after another. This is because the clip can only be held securely by attaching a seal or other additional member. Further, the characteristics of the clip, such as the color of the clip, can similarly only be reliably determined from one direction of the writing instrument. For example, if the color of the writing instrument is to be indicated by the color of the clip, in most cases, the end face or other part of the writing instrument is usually marked so that it can be easily distinguished and read, especially from two or more directions. You will also need to add color.

In contrast, the Federal Republic of Italy Patent Application Publication No. 2 Rollo 5
Clip t for a writing instrument known from specification 211-5 l
1. It is configured to be pushed into the notch of a writing instrument from the side and held by a knot or claw without the use of a special fixing aid. However, even in this case, there is a drawback that the profit margin and display can only be identified from one direction. Moreover, with this arrangement, the seals or other additional members cannot be held securely without additional means.

Furthermore, the specification of Koko Utility Model No. 41-5610 and Koko Utility Model No. 43-
In the writing instrument or writing cap known from Japanese Utility Model No. 12981, the clip is inserted from the side (in the case of Utility Model Publication No. 41-5610) or from above in the axial direction (in the case of Utility Model Publication No. 46-'12981). I'm trying to force it so that it's inserted. These clips have fastening elements that cooperate with recesses in the cap to provide a form-fitting anchoring. In this case, the clip portion can also be seen from the upper end surface. However, in such a structure, even if we ignore that the attachment of the chestnut (7) can only be carried out from one direction in any case, it is not possible to attach other members at the same time or It cannot be fixed in the correct position. Moreover, in the clip described above, the color display can only be discerned from at most two directions. Especially when viewed from the side opposite to the clip, it is not easy to clearly identify the clip.

In order to avoid this drawback, the known construction requires that additional fixing elements and additional indicators be installed in a separate working step or by additional means or additional arrangements, so that the writing instrument itself will become more expensive.

In contrast, an object of the present invention is to provide a writing instrument whose characteristics are easy to display and which is considerably inexpensive due to the saving of working power.
The clip of the writing instrument can be attached easily and quickly, and in some cases automatically, and in the clip (8) additional parts of the writing instrument can be fastened quickly and reliably, if necessary. , and furthermore, to provide features that do not require feature display means.

This object was achieved particularly effectively by the features specified in claim 1.

Some clips for writing instruments or writing instruments have a notch that passes through the member in the area, and a fixing member is placed in this notch with form-fitting, so that the clip can be inserted from the side in any direction, i.e. from the lateral direction. The opening towards the end face made it possible to mount the clip parallel to the longitudinal axis of the writing instrument, either manually or automatically, without expensive positioning.

Furthermore, if the clip and the fixing member are suitably colored or formed, the respective color or print of the stripping material can be distinguished from at least five directions. In this way, the characteristics of the writing instrument can be displayed very easily.

Additionally, other attachment members such as seals or closures may be attached at the same time as or after the attachment of the clip, as well as securing members to hold the final attachment securely in place. In this case, the order of installation can be arbitrarily selected.

In other cases, the recess in the component may be constructed without an opening towards the end face, if the component is already in the final mounting position before the fixing component is inserted. On the other hand, for other attachments, if the attachment of the member is performed after the fixing member is fitted, an opening that reaches the notch is required on the end face side. The width and shape of this notch are
A securing member is slid through the opening and into the notch and is aligned to fit within the notch.

``For writing instruments that are not perfectly circular but have an oval or polygonal cross section, or have at least one flat side, the notch and the fixing member extend parallel to the flat side. It is advantageous to have In this case, the U-shaped clip may come into contact with the flat side and exhibit a good Litz-0 effect.

The clip can optionally be constructed of metal or plastic, or of a variety of materials and components.

If emphasis is placed on displaying the features in a very simple manner, at least the transverse web, the connecting web, and the integrally molded or loosely fitted fixing member should have the same display feature, such as the same pattern or the same pattern. We want it to have color. In this way, the characteristic display can be identified from the clip side, from the end face side, from a direction perpendicular to the clip, and in some cases from the side opposite to the clip. Also, in this case, the notch completely penetrates the writing instrument or the member in the clip fixing range of the writing instrument,
It is particularly advantageous if the display elements are easily distinguishable.

Furthermore, if the connecting groove or opening toward the end face extends directly into the notch, the width of the connecting groove or opening must be greater than the maximum width of the notch in order to form an undercut inside the notch. It is advantageous to also make the size smaller. If an opening must be provided, this is the case if the cutout opens directly in the radial direction towards the end face. In particular, in such an embodiment, the cutout is configured in such a way that the width narrows towards the end face or towards the opening or towards the connecting groove, resulting in a truncated or arched taper. It is advantageous to have This taper can optionally have a wedge effect.

In this way, the clip and other attachments can be particularly easily carried out to ensure a good retention of the longitudinally attached component in the longitudinal direction. The dimensional selection must be carried out in such a way that, depending on the given spatial conditions and the material, sufficient stability and ease of installation are guaranteed, taking advantage of the elastic effects of the material. That is self-evident.

A very simple construction is obtained in that the fastening element is formed integrally with the clip in the form of a fastening lip. This fixing groove penetrates the writing instrument or the corresponding part of the writing instrument in whole or in part inside the notch. In this case, the fixed lip means a fixed member having an arbitrary shape, as long as the fixed member is fixedly connected to the clip or a portion of the clip. It is. As such a lip part, it is advantageous to use the vertical #l of the writing instrument.
A connecting web which is arranged parallel to the I-line and a transverse web which runs perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, for example, may be provided.

This transverse web is either connected to the clip body or forms a clip body with a folded extension of the transverse web itself.

Of course, the fixing member may be formed by a separate fixing pin. This fixing pin passes through the writing instrument or writing instrument at right angles to the corresponding part and the connecting web of the clip in a recess. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the connecting groove between the recess and the end face and the connecting web of the clip extend at right angles to the recess. In this case, the connecting web of the clip has its own recess or opening extending at right angles to the clip. The opening is matched to the size and shape of the notch of the writing instrument. In this case, if the connecting web or the transverse groove for the connecting web and the notch in the fixing bottle or writing instrument each completely pass through the writing instrument, the attachment of the clip can be carried out, for example, in six It can be carried out from different directions. In this way, the indication and coloring, if any, given to at least the area of the connecting web and the fixing pin of the clip,
Become recognizable from at least all sides.

In order to possibly facilitate the replacement of the clip or the seal or other parts of the writing instrument, it may be advantageous if the fastening element is arranged releasably in the recess.

Permanent fixing means can be omitted by selecting suitable materials and suitably configuring the adaptation area.

However, as an additional measure to prevent undesirable disassociation of the fastening part, the fastening part and/or the recess may be provided with nodes, recesses, raised grooves or other fastening aids extending radially from each other. You can also do it. If it is desired to replace the part in such a configuration, it is sufficient to overcome the radial elastic forces of the shaft part or of the fastening part by applying pressure in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the fastening part. be.

If a writing instrument member, such as a shaft, a cap, or a closure plug, is normally configured as a hollow body, a penetrating fixing member can be used to connect the closure stopper, closure member, or other parts of the writing instrument. It is possible to fix the writing instrument in the direction of its longitudinal axis or in particular in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the writing instrument.

In order to achieve this fixation, the seal or other member to be held in form-fitting as described above must have a cutout adapted to the fixing member in order to firmly fix the fixing member. It is advantageous to have one.

Furthermore, if it is desired to make it possible to axially attach these additional elements, the recess can have an opening that opens towards the end face of the additional element. The mounting in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the writing instrument and the secure retention of the additional parts are further facilitated by the fact that the width of the opening is slightly narrower than the maximum width of the notch and therefore also the maximum width of the fixing part fitted to the notch. be converted into Of course, if it is considered advantageous, a connecting groove may be provided in place of the opening in this case as well. If the additional parts are not provided with openings or connecting grooves, the attachment and precise positioning of these parts will take place before inserting the fastening part or the clip with the fastening part. If corresponding openings or connecting grooves are present, the mounting order can be selected arbitrarily or in accordance with other advantageous conditions.

On the one hand, the fixing element can finally be fitted into the recess of said part, and on the other hand, the side wall near the opening or connecting groove can be widened radially to extend beyond the already fitted fixing element. Fixation can be effected by pushing in the members and gripping the fixing member with the action of the return spring by these members.

In order to prevent undesirable disassociation of the fastening member and to provide a durable attachment, the fastening member may be provided with special cutouts or additions that may be sealed with a packing or other material. Installation is carried out by engaging the corresponding parts of the parts, e.g. by installing a clip with a fixing lip or a loose fastener in the transverse direction, then after installing the seals or other parts in the continuation axis direction, in the longitudinal axis direction. And in the direction of lateral forces, the fastening member and the seal or other attachment can effectively prevent the members from disassociating in all directions by fitting the members in an internally and externally form-fitting manner.

The clip fixing mechanism according to the invention can be applied to all kinds of writing instruments.

Needless to say, this writing instrument includes writing instruments for painting colors, drawing lines, and making arbitrary marks.

Also, the clip can be secured at any position on the writing instrument or at any suitable or desired position.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned writing instrument members are merely examples of all other writing instrument members that may be similarly secured as the case may be.
