Definitions

  • the present invention relates to writing instruments of the type in which the writing unit is adapted to yield reciprocably under writing pressure against the influence of a spring or other resilient member, a principal object of the invention being to incorporate this feature of a resilient writing tip in a writing instrument of the propel-repel or retractile point type.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a writing instrument with means for readily adjusting the resiliency of the writing tip to a selected degree of firmness or to a condition in which the tip is completely nonyielding under writing pressure.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a simple, economical and reliable mechanism for accomplishing the foregoing objects in a writing instrument of a conventional retractile type adapted to use standard interchangeable writing units.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal view of a Writing instrument according to a preferred embodiment of the invention showing the barrel, cap and internal members in section, the writing unit or ball point cartridge in elevation and the push button actuating member partially in section;
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the plunger member shown in section in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a top elevational view of the detent adjusting member shown in section in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a top elevational view of the tubular detent member shown in section in FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 5 through 8 are diagrammatic developed Views illustrating step-by-step in the manner in which the camming surfaces of the ratchet member are engaged alternately by stationary actuating means to effect projection and retraction of the writing element;
  • FIG. 9 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of an alternate embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 14 the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 14 comprises a housing 11 having a forward section 12 with a tapered tip 13, and a rear section 14, which may be provided with a pocket clip (not shown).
  • the housing 11 is formed with a bore defining a chamber 15 which receives the front end of the writing element 16 associated with a projection-retraction mechanism to be described hereinafter.
  • the writing element 16 which in the illustrated embodiments of the invention comprises a ball point cartridge, is hereinafter referred to as a cartridge.
  • a cartridge includes an ink reservoir section 17 containing a quantity of ink suitable for use with ball point writing instruments, an ink feed section 18, and a ball writing point 19 carried at the forward end of the member 18 in communication with the ink in the reservoir section through an ink feed channel (not shown).
  • the forward portion 21 of chamber 15 is of reduced diameter for receiving a return or retracting spring 22, which is seated against a shoulder 23 and bears against the forward end of the reservoir section 17 to bias the cartridge rearwardly.
  • the portion 24 of the bore ahead of shoulder 23 is of still smaller diameter to receive and guide the ink feed section 18 of the cartridge.
  • ratchet member 25 Secured rigidly in the rearward end of the reservoir section 17 and forming a unitary part of the cartridge is a ratchet member 25 which constitutes an essential part of the projection-retraction mechanism of the instrument.
  • the ratchet member also serves as a plug for the rear end of the reservoir section, and is provided with a small central bore (not shown) to supply air to the reservoir section to fill the space left by the withdrawal of ink from the cartridge. It is obvious, however, that the invention is equally applicable to a construction in which the ratchet member is permanently mounted within the pen rather than being integral with the writing unit.
  • the ratchet member is rotatably and slidably supported by a tubular detent member 26 disposed within a surround.- ing detent adjusting member 27, which, in turn is connected by coarse threads 28 to a connector member 29 tightly and permanently fitted within the forward end of the rear section 14.
  • the connector member also serves to join the rear section 14 with the removable front section 12 by means of threads 30.
  • the tubular detent member 26 is provided with a pair of oppositely disposed detent ribs 31 and 32 which engage oppositely disposed rearwardly facing surfaces of the ratchet memher as described hereinafter to define the projected and retracted positions of the cartridge.
  • These detent ribs, and a pair of corresponding inward projections 33 and 34 (FIG. 3) at the top end of detent adjusting member 27 are maintained in alignment with each other and with plunger 35 by slots 36 and 37 (FIGS. 1 and 2) in the plunger, which is reciprocable in the housing against the influence of plunger spring 38 by means of push button 39'.
  • the uppermost position of the plunger is determined by a flange 41 on the push button, which engages an inwardly turned lip 42 of stop member 43, which in turn bears against an internal shoulder 44 in the rear section 14.
  • the tubular detent member 26 normally is maintained in contact with the rearward surface 45 of connector member 29 by the influence of spring 46, which is compressed between an internal shoulder 47 at the rearward end of the detent adjusting member 27 and an external shoulder 48 on the tubular detent member 26.
  • Spring 46 is sufliciently strong to maintain the tubular detent member in contact with connector member 29 against the rearward thrust of spring 22 during the operations of projecting and retracting the cartridge.
  • FIGS. 5 through 8 are diagrammatic developed views showing the various functional surfaces of the ratchet member, detent ribs, and plunger.
  • the rearwardly facing cam surfaces 50 and 51, and 52 and 53 are diametrically opposite one another respectively and are equidistantly spaced from the axis of the ratchet member throughout their entire extent.
  • Each of these cam surfaces is approximately a 45-degree helix about the cylindrical body of the ratchet member.
  • the cam surfaces are oriented in the same sense, i.e. they are oriented so as to impart a unidirectional movement to the ratchet member when moved against a rotationally fixed cam actuating means.
  • Each of the diametrically opposite bottom surfaces 54 and 55 is located axially forward of the cam surfaces 50, 51, 52 and 53.
  • a stop surface 56 extending substantially parallel to the axis of the cam body is disposed between the trailing edge of the bottom surface 54 and the leading edge of the cam surface 50, with a corresponding oppositely disposed stop surface 57 being located between the trailing edge of bottom surface 55 and the leading edge of cam surface 51.
  • a second pair of similar oppositely located stop surfaces 59 and 61 are disposed respectively between the leading edges of cam surfaces 52 and 53 and the trailing edges of cam surfaces 51 and 50.
  • the portions of the ratchet defined by cam surfaces 50 and 51 are each substantially twice as wide as each of those defined by cam surfaces 52 and 53 and by bottom surfaces 54 and 55.
  • the cam surfaces of the ratchet surround a central hub 62 of such diameter as to fit slidably between actuating fingers 63 and 64 of plunger 35 and between detent ribs 31 and 32. Fingers 63 and 64 and the ratchet engaging ends of detent ribs 31 and 32 have the respective ends thereof formed at an angle corresponding to that of the ratchet carn surfaces engaged thereby.
  • the cartridge is biased rearwardly by the retracting spring 22 which serves to provide the motive power for effecting the axial retracting movement and also rotational movement of the ratchet by biasing opposite pairs of ratchet cam surfaces against the cam engaging surfaces of the plunger fingers and the detent ribs, depending on the angular orientation of the ratchet member with respect thereto.
  • the actuating fingers and detent ribs may be rotated relative to the housing to adjust the resiliency of the writing tip, the frictional forces resisting such rotation of these elements are substantially greater than the frictional drag between the cartridge and spring 22, so that the carnming action between the ratchet and these elements results in rotation of the cartridge but not of the detent member and plunger.
  • the cartridge will be maintained in its projected position, while if the orientation is such that the ends of the detent ribs engage bottom surfaces 54 and 55 (FIG. the ratchet member and the cartridge will be permitted to assume a more rearward position in the housing to retract the writing point.
  • FIG. 5 shows the relative positions of the plunger fingers, detent ribs and ratchet member when the cartridge is in its retracted position with the bottom surfaces 54 and 55 urged into engagement with detent ribs 31 and 32 respectively by spring 22.
  • the actuating fingers 63 and 64 will be moved downwardly with respect to the stationary detent ribs and will carry with them the ratchet member.
  • the interaction between the camming end portions of fingers 63 and 64 and the cam surfaces 56 and 51, respectively engaged thereby, will tend to rotate the ratchet member in a clockwise direction as viewed from the front of the pen or to the right in the developed view of FIG. 5. Initially, however, such rotational movement of the ratchet member will be prevented by the stop surfaces 56 and 57 which bear against the respective detent ribs 31 and 32.
  • the ratchet member When the ratchet member has been depressed to an extent suflicient to permit the stop surfaces 56 and 57 to clear the detent ribs 31 and 32, as shown in FIG. 6, the ratchet member is free to rotate under the influence of spring 22 until fingers 63 and 64 abut with longitudinally extending stop surfaces 61 and 59 respectively.
  • the push button 39 When the push button 39 is released to allow the actuating fingers to be retracted by plunger spring 38, the ratchet member will be free to continue its rotational movement until detent ribs 31 and 32 abut the longitudinal stop surfaces 61 and 59 respectively as shown in FIG. 7.
  • the cartridge Will thus have been rotated through an angle of 90 degrees and will be in its projected position.
  • the tubular detent member 26 is maintained in its forward position defined by its engagement with connector member 29, by the influence of spring 46.
  • spring 46 is of sufiicient strength to prevent the separation of the detent member and the connector member during the operations of projecting and retracting the cartridge, it is apparent by reference to FIG. 1, that the application of a rearward force to the cartridge in excess of that exerted by retracting spring 22, as results when the writing tip is pressed against a writing surface, will cause the cartridge to yield resiliently in a rearward direction relative to the instrument housing by displacing the detent member rearwardly against the influence of spring 46.
  • the detent adjusting member 2 7 which provides the rearward abutment for spring 46, is axiallly adjustable to alter the compression of the spring.
  • This adjustable feature is achieved in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 by the threaded connection 28 between members 27 and 29, whereby the rotation of the detent adjusting member relative to the connector member varies the axial relation thereof between a forward position in which the coils of spring 46 are tightly compressed, thereby eliminating resiliency of the writing tip, and a rearward position in which the top surface 65 of member 27, engages the lower end 66 of stop member 43, in which position spring 46 is extended to provide maximum resiliency.
  • FIG. 1 the threaded connection 28 between members 27 and 29, whereby the rotation of the detent adjusting member relative to the connector member varies the axial relation thereof between a forward position in which the coils of spring 46 are tightly compressed, thereby eliminating resiliency of the writing tip, and a rearward position in which the top surface 65 of member 27, engages the lower end 66 of stop member 43, in which position spring
  • the detent adjusting member 27 is shown in a position adjacent but not in contact with stop member 43, with spring 46 in a corresponding state of compression. Since the detent member 26 normally abuts against the rearward surface of the immovable connector, it will be observed that the adjustment of the resiliency of the writing tip does not alter the normal axial posi tion of the tip relative to the housing.
  • the adjustment of resiliency is accomplished by rotating the push button 39 relative to the housing.
  • the plunger 35, and members 26 and 27 are maintained in the same radial relation by the engagement of detent ribs 31 and 32 and inward projections 33 and 34 with slots 36 and 37.
  • the push button 39 is prevented from rotating relative to the plunger by the engagement of one or more protruberances 67 with outwardly turned ears 68 at the top of the plunger. While not all of the ears are engaged by protuberances in the illustrated instrument, a plurality of symmetrically oriented ears are provided to simplify assembly.
  • the rotation of the push button also rotates the plunger, the tubular detent member and the detent adjusting member, the latter being thereby adjusted axially by threads 28.
  • threads 28 are right hand threads
  • the rotation of the push button in the direction indicated by the mark FIRM will cause the detent adjusting member to move toward the connector to decrease and finally eliminate the resiliency of the tip
  • rotating the push button in the opposite direction as indicated by the mark SOFT will move the detent adjusting member toward and ultimately into con tact with the stop member, to increase the resiliency of the tip.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention employing a substantially identical projectionretraction mechanism but having a different mechanism for varying the resiliency of the writing tip. Since the only substantial differences between this embodiment and that shown in FIG. I reside entirely in the substitution of detent element 71, connector element 72 and spring 73 for tubular detent member 26, detent adjusting member 27, connector member 29 and spring 46, and since these substitutions do not change the basic mode of operation of the propel-repel mechanism as such, the remaining elements are identified by the same numbers used in connection therewith in the other figures, followed by the letter a, and are not described further.
  • detent ribs 31a and the oppositely disposed detent rib, not shown, corresponding to rib 32, are provided on the inner surface of detent element 71, which is axially and rotatably movable within rear section 14a.
  • Element 71 is provided at its forward portion with a helical undulate cam surface 74, which is urged into engagement with a cam finger 75, forming an immovable part of connector element 72, by a spring 73 compressed between a shoulder 76 on element 71 and the lower end 66a of stop member 43a.
  • detent element, plunger and push button are rotatable together but are prevented from rotating relative to one another in the same manner previously described by means of protuberance 67a, ears 68a, slot 36a, and rib 31a and correspondingly oppositely disposed structures not shown in FIG. 9.
  • the push button has been rotated as far as possible in the direction indicated by the mark SOFT, further rotation in this direction being prevented by the engagements of the stationary cam finger with edge surface 77 of detent element 71.
  • the cam finger is in engagement with the rearwardmost undulation of cam surface 74, thereby positioning the detent element in its forwardmost position in which spring 73 is least compressed, to provide a maximum degree of resiliency to the writing point.
  • the push button is turned in the direction indicated by the mark FIRM, the detent member is rotated relative to the cam finger and is moved rearwardly by virtue of the helical cam surface to increase the compression of spring 73 and ultimately to fully compress the spring to completely eliminate the resiliency of the writing tip.
  • the undulating form of cam surface 74 is provided to define discrete adjustment steps, which might be indicated by a dial associated with the push button, and to minimize the possibility of accidental rotation of the push button when it is used for projecting or retracting the writing unit.
  • this structure causes the normal position of the extended writing tip to vary in accordance with the setting of the adjustable resiliency mechanism, for which reason the writing tip must project beyond the end of the housing in its ex tended position by a sufficient distance to compensate for this variation.
  • the retracting spring not shown, corresponding to spring 22 shown in FIG. 1 is modified to compensate for the variable distance between the two extreme positions of the writing unit relative to the housing.
