Description

IMPROVEMENT IN STRUCTURE OF STRAIGHT BOOM FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cylindrical boom, and more particularly to an improved cylindrical boom structure for comfortable fastening, improved functions, and easy construction.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Until now, conventional writing tools such as fountain pen, pencil, spherical pen, coloring pencil and writing brush in the market are all in a linear fashion. That is, a writing head and a holding bar of a writing tool are substantially coaxial. Due to the boundary of the palm structure of people, the writing tool usually tilts backwards from the wrist while it is being used, such that the writing tip of the writing tool will obstruct the user's line of sight . As such, there are many flaws when writing or drawing with the conventional writing tool. First, a user can not clearly see the space behind the writing tool along the line of sight, making it difficult for the user to write right or draw in position. Especially for children, they may change their posture when sitting, for example, they lay their heads on desks while they write, in an attempt to bypass the line of sight blocking by the writing tool, and it is harmful to the sight and bones of children. In addition, people are accustomed to holding the writing tool obliquely, such that the linear shape of the writing tool results in the inclination of the writing portion relative to the work surface, and thus, the user you do not get any right point to exercise the pressure point, and you have to exert more tension on the work surface while you write or draw. The inevitable fatigue would ruin the children's interest in writing. In addition, the inclination of the writing portion relative to the work surface makes the drawing operations with an auxiliary tool such as a ruler, unable to achieve the best effect, since the writing tip will not be in close contact with the lateral surface of the ruler. The present inventor found that the above problems can be solved by means of providing an elbow pen including an intermediate portion between a holding portion, ie, the bar of the pen, and a writing portion, i.e. the writing head , for l. *. M. * l * m.i. b - *? **. i *, í. *** Make sure that the holding portion and the writing portion are placed on different axes. For example, Figures IA and IB schematically show how a cylindrical pen is used to solve the above problems. Please refer to Figure IA. A bent pen includes a holding portion a, an intermediate portion b, and a writing portion C. Due to the presence of the curved intermediate portion B, the axis of the writing portion C and that of the holding portion A, they will intersect at a certain angle, for the purpose of adjusting the angle between the writing portion C and the work surface, to approximately 90 degrees. As such, the user's line of sight will not be obstructed by the writing tool, such as by the front portion Pl of a traditional pen. In addition, the curved intermediate portion B provides a suitable structure for the user's fingers to exert force, for the purpose of decreasing the load of the user's fingers. Please refer now to Figure IB, in which a cylindrical pen is used together with a R-ruler. By use of a cylindrical pen including a holding portion A, a middle portion B, and a writing portion C, as mentioned above, the writing portion C is approximately perpendicular to the working surface K, for the purpose of being in close contact with the I ai t **? TO . i. * .. * .. tm ** .fí m-? m *? **** > w * A lateral surface R2 of the rule R. As such, the user will be able to draw a line precisely as he wishes, without being influenced by the structure of his palm and the thickness of the ruler. Up to now many kinds of shaped pens have been developed, although these are provided to solve problems different from the previous ones. United States Patent Number 655,731 issued to Pierce in 1990, discloses an angled fountain pen, in which a short tube laterally extended has one end thereof connected to the handle, and the other end thereof connected to the head of the handle. writing to regulate the ink discharged from the deposit in the handle to the writing head, to avoid stains and to get the fingers dirty. Pierce's design is focused on the selection of the cross-sectional areas of the ink passages of the pen, with the purpose of achieving the above purposes, and there is no special design to improve the tactility and holding stability, and others details while using the elbow pen. U.S. Patent No. 5,527,124 issued to Kolaric in 1996, discloses a shaped pen, and more particularly a spherical pen, which is formed in the lower section of the pen housing, for the purpose of positioning the pen. * t * Á * *?. * i. -i * k. i & *. * .- & * - ***? * # writing tip at an angle steeper than usual to the paper surface, to maximize the free flow of ink on the paper, while still allowing the user to maintain a comfortable grip on the pen . However, the design of Kolaric is focused on the selection of the lengths and angles of the sections of the pen, in order to achieve the above purposes, and there is no special design to improve the feel and stability of subject, and other details while using the shaped pen. On the other hand, in accordance with the manner of attachment of the shaped pen suggested in the Kolaric patent, as shown in Figure 3, the user's line of sight, although not obstructed by the writing tool, is blocked by the user's fingers. The Patent of the United States of North America Number 849,513 issued to Sturm in 1907 discloses an elbow pen that includes a grip section G in the middle portion and the writing head area, as shown in Figure 4. The grip section also obstructs the user's line of sight while writing or drawing. On the other hand, there is no reference so far that describes the manufacture of the layered pen. In fact, it is difficult to manufacture the housing of an integrally angled pen, such as the injection molding of the conventional linear pen, because a passage could be required. ^^^^ curved that extends through the writing portion, the intermediate portion and the holding portion, to accommodate an ink tank or refill. In addition, there is no bent pen designed for a replaceable pencil, which is a type of pencil consisting of a plurality of replaceable pencil heads of a short rod shape. The hollow passages of the conventional elbowed pens mentioned above, to accommodate ink reservoirs, are all bent so as not to be suitable for storing a series of replaceable pen heads.
