- FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
- the liquid supply device of this embodiment is configured as a writing instrument, and includes a cylindrical shaft cylinder (main body) 1 having a hollow portion.
- the cavity of the main body 1 is formed by a partition wall 2 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction into an ink storage chamber 3 for storing liquid (ink) and a reservoir chamber 4 for receiving ink flowing out of the ink storage chamber 3. It is partitioned.
- a cap-shaped tail plug 5 detachable from the main body 1 is attached to the tail end side of the main body 1, and a front end 7 having an opening 7a is formed at the front end side.
- the application body 8 is attached via an air communication hole 7b opening to the fourth.
- the partition 2 is formed by press-fitting a disk-shaped member into the inner peripheral surface of the main body 1, and has a through hole 2a formed in the center.
- An elongated relay core 10 is inserted into the through hole 2a with a predetermined gap G (a gap large enough to hold ink by capillary force).
- the relay core 10 is formed by converging and compressing a large number of fibers parallel to the axial direction. It is formed as a quality rod-shaped member, and ink can flow in and out from the rear end face and the outer peripheral face.
- the relay core 10 does not perform gas-liquid exchange internally so that the ink stored in the ink storage chamber 3 can be supplied to the coating body with high sensitivity by capillary force (no air passage is formed).
- the porosity is formed as low as possible.
- the partition 2 has a gap T protruding toward the liquid storage chamber 3 along the relay core 10 and maintaining the predetermined gap G as it is toward the tail plug 5.
- the partition wall extension 2b is formed.
- the liquid is held by the capillary force from the gap G to the entire gap T.
- the partition wall extension 2b may be formed integrally with the same material as the partition wall, or may be formed by integrating another member. Therefore, the ink in the ink storage chamber 3 is stored by the outer surface of the partition wall extension 2b and the bottom of the partition 2, and does not leak into the reservoir chamber.
- the tip of the relay core 10 is connected to the coating body 8, and the rear end of the relay core 10 projects from the rear end opening of the partition wall extension 2 b into the ink storage chamber 3 (tail plug 5). Protruding inward.
- the relay core 10 has, for example, a positioning portion (for example, a rib-shaped member abutting on the outer peripheral surface of the relay core 10) formed at a predetermined interval in the axial direction inside the partition wall extension 2b. It is preferable to be configured to be positioned and held at a predetermined position in the axial direction.
- the cross-sectional shape of the partition wall extension 2b may be formed in an elliptical shape or a polygonal shape, and the relay core 10 having a circular cross-section may be inserted and positioned here.
- the partition wall extension 2b is formed so as to be higher than the liquid level H of the ink stored in the ink storage chamber 3 when the coating body 8 faces downward.
- the ink stored in the ink storage chamber 3 is set at a position lower than the rear end opening of the partition wall extension 2b when the application body 8 is turned downward. That is, when the amount of stored ink is large and the liquid level H is higher than the rear end opening of the partition wall extension 2b, the temperature rise occurs in a state where the coating body 8 is directed downward, for example.
- the gap G, the retained ink, and the ink above the partition wall extension 2b easily flow into the reservoir chamber 4. This Therefore, for example, when a large number of writing tools are arranged at the time of over-the-counter sales, there is a possibility that the amount of stored ink may change for each writing tool.
- the above-described writing implement is subject to various posture changes from manufacture to over-the-counter sale, and the application body 8 side is not always downward.
- the case where the ink in the ink storage chamber 3 most flows out to the reservoir chamber 4 is in a state where the writing implement is placed on the horizontal plane P as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the amount of ink stored in the ink storage chamber 3 is determined by a line passing through the lowermost inner periphery defining the gap T of the partition wall extension 2b while the main body 1 is placed horizontally.
- an ink absorber 12 that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the relay core 10 and that can hold the liquid impregnated therein is disposed in the reservoir chamber 4 as shown in the figure.
- Such an ink absorber 12 can be made of, for example, a porous material (such as cotton) such as a fiber material.
- the ink absorber 12 shown in the figure is provided such that a gap is formed between the ink absorber 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the main body 1, and the air flows into the gap G, through this gap. . Therefore, the ink absorber 12 having such a configuration has a gas-liquid exchange effect.
- the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 2a formed in the partition wall 2 and the ink are included.
- an ink film (seal) is formed by capillary force. It has been set.
- This ink film breaks as the pressure in the ink storage chamber 3 increases or decreases, causing ink to flow out into the reservoir chamber 4 or through the reservoir chamber 4 communicating with the atmosphere.
- a so-called gas-liquid exchange action is obtained, for example, the gas flows into the inside 3. Further, when the ink is consumed by writing, the ink held by the capillary force is sucked out and supplied to the application body 8.
- the ink stored in the ink storage chamber 3 is separated from the portion where gas-liquid exchange is performed by the partition 2 and the partition extending portion 2b, so that the temperature of the ink changes. (Pressure change) and the influence of the head pressure can be eliminated, and stable ink ejection can be achieved.
- the ink storage chamber 3 is formed of a single chamber that does not need to be divided into a plurality of small chambers, as disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document!
- the solvent and the pigment are easily separated, so it is necessary to store a weight or the like for stirring in the ink storage chamber. is there.
- the ink storage chamber is not divided into a large number of chambers, it is possible to reduce the cost by storing one weight or the like.
- the partition that divides the ink storage chamber into multiple sections and there is no need to install multiple gas-liquid exchange sections the number of parts is reduced, assembly is easy, cost is reduced, and dimensional control is achieved. There is no complexity.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
- a porous holding member 15 that holds the ink in the ink storage chamber 3 is disposed at the rear end side of the relay core 10.
- the rear end face of the relay core 10 is located inside the holding body 15 so that ink can flow mainly from the rear end face.
- the relay core 10 applies the ink held in the holding body 15 to the coating body 8. It becomes possible to supply. Therefore, as compared with a configuration in which the holding body 15 is not arranged, continuous writing can be performed without frequently performing the above-described posture change.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention.
- the rear end of the relay core 10 is inserted into the holder 15 and the rear end of the relay core 10 is applied to the inner surface of the tail plug 5 to close the rear end.
- the relay core 10 has the property that the ink easily flows in the vertical direction because the fibers are converged in the vertical direction, while the property that the ink does not easily flow in the radial direction. .
- the ink held by the holder 15 also flows in the radial direction. Therefore, the ink of the holder 15 is saturated. In this state, the amount of ink flowing into the relay core 10 can be suppressed, and the amount of ink flowing to the coating body 8 can be reduced (the coating body 8 becomes in an ink-rich state). Is suppressed).
- Whether or not a force for closing the rear end portion (including only the rear end surface) of the relay core 10 is determined depending on the type of ink to be used and the like. Also, in this embodiment, the ink absorber 12 may be arranged in the reservoir chamber 4 as in the above embodiment.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
- a recess 5a is formed in the center portion of the tail plug 5, and the rear end of the relay core 10 is fitted into the recess 5a, thereby closing the rear end of the relay core 10. is there.
- the method of closing the rear end portion of the intermediate core 10 can be appropriately modified.
- a resin may be applied to the rear end surface of the intermediate core 10, It can be closed by melting.
- the coating body 8 and the relay core 10 are integrally formed. As described above, by integrally forming the coating body 8 and the relay core 10, which are members into which the ink flows, the number of components can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. Note that the ink absorber 12 and the holder 15 described above may be integrally formed with the relay core 10!
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
- the above-mentioned relay core 10 is divided into a plurality of parts in the axial direction (two parts in this example), and these are arranged coaxially so that the storage chamber-side relay core 10a and the coating body-side relay core 10a.
- each of the divided ends is connected to a relay absorber 10c capable of holding ink by impregnation.
- the coating body side relay core 10b is connected to a coating body 8a having, for example, a valve function and having a valve function so as to apply a predetermined head pressure (about 20 mm) to the coating body 8a. .
- the diameter of the relay core is small, and it is difficult to accurately position and install a thin relay core in the main body.
- the configuration of the relay core as in the present embodiment, even if the relay core is divided into the main body 1 in the axial direction and incorporated, it is possible to interpose an absorber for holding ink. By connecting both, dimensional control can be performed easily. As shown in this embodiment, as long as the atmosphere communication hole 7b is opened in the reservoir chamber 4, its position can be appropriately changed. Further, the ink absorber 12 may be arranged in the reservoir chamber 4 as in the above embodiment.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
- a contact portion 2d that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the relay core 10 to be inserted at two or more places is formed inside the partition wall extension portion 2b.
- the contact portion of the present embodiment is formed in a rib shape, and contacts the outer peripheral surface of the relay core 10 at four points at approximately 90-degree intervals, thereby positioning the relay core 10 and changing the posture. In this case, the ink is difficult to flow into the gap G.
- the ink in the gap G is held by the relatively weak capillary force (less than the capillary force in the holding body 15), and is consumed by writing on the application body 8.
- the retained ink easily flows into the reservoir chamber 4 although the amount of the retained ink is small (it does not make the application body 8 ink-rich). I will. Therefore, considering that the ink held in the holding body 15 can be supplied to the coating body 8 by writing, the ink supply to the coating body 8 mainly uses the ink held in the holding body 15. Therefore, it is considered desirable to reduce the outflow to the reservoir chamber 4 (outflow of the ink held in the gap G, as much as possible).
- Such an abutting portion may be any one that simply abuts the outer periphery of the relay core at two or more places so that the relay core 10 is positioned. It is difficult for the ink to flow into the inside, and it is preferable that the ink be formed into a shape.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
- the second partition 30 is disposed in the reservoir chamber 4.
- a through hole 30a is formed in a central portion of the partition wall 30 to allow the relay core to pass therethrough, and similarly to the partition wall 2, a similar gap G1 is formed between the partition core 30 and the outer peripheral surface of the relay core 10 to be inserted.
- a seal film is formed by ink.
- the writing implement when the writing implement is in a horizontal position and the gap G or the ink flows out into the reservoir chamber 4 due to the temperature rise, the escaping ink flows into the newly formed reservoir chamber 4a (the second partition wall 30 and the partition wall 2). And the space between them). Then, the ink held here can come into contact with the relay core 10 in a narrow space, so that it is surely consumed by writing on the coating body 8. Conversely, in such a configuration without the second partition 30, most of the ink that has flowed into the reservoir chamber 4 is left unused in the reservoir chamber 4 during application. Alternatively, even when the above-described ink absorber 12 is disposed in the reservoir chamber 4, it is difficult to use up all the ink absorbed by the ink absorber 12, because the ink is held by the capillary force. Become.
- the above-described ink absorber 12 may be further disposed between the second partition 30 and the coating body 8. That is, even if the ink flows out of the gap G1 of the second partition 30 due to a temperature rise or the like, it is possible to hold the ink.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an eighth embodiment of the present invention.
- the ink absorber 40 is arranged in the reservoir chamber 4, and the porosity of the ink absorber 40 is different in the axial direction.
- a cylindrical ink absorber 40 made of a single material is fitted to a holder 45 fixed to the inner surface of the main body 1, and a small-diameter portion 45 a and a large-diameter
- the porosity of the ink absorber 40 is changed with a simple configuration.
- the small-diameter portion 45a (the compressive force is strong, the porosity of the ink absorber 40 is low, the portion;
- the area indicated by Y) is arranged on the partition wall 2 side, and the large-diameter portion 45b (the area where the porosity of the ink absorber 40 where the compressive force is weak; the area indicated by symbol X) is arranged on the coating body 8 side. ing.
- the relationship between the porosity and the porosity between the relay core 10 (including the coating body 8) passing through the ink absorber 40 is as follows: the porosity of the coating body 8 ⁇ the porosity of the relay core 10.
- the porosity is set so that the porosity in the area of Y ⁇ the porosity of the area of X (the higher the porosity, the more the air path Tube power is weakening).
- the porosity of the coating body 8 and the relay core 10 described above is set lower than the porosity of the absorber 40 so that the ink in the ink storage chamber side is supplied to the coating body quickly. This is to prevent air from passing inside as much as possible. Then, as described above, by forming the regions X and Y having different porosity along the axial direction with the ink absorber 40 having a porosity higher than the porosity of the coating body 8 and the relay core 10, The following phenomena are caused.
- the ink in the gaps G and G ′ and the ink in the ink storage chamber flow out to the reservoir chamber 4 due to a temperature rise or the like, the ink flows into the area Y where the porosity is low (the capillary force is strong). It will be retained. In this case, even if the temperature rise continues for a longer time, the amount of ink that moves from the region Y to the region is small because the capillary force is smaller in the region X than in the region Y (the capillary force is partially high even in the region X). In the area Y, the ink saturates, and the ink seal state is formed.
- the ink holding amount is saturated in the area Y, even if the ink tries to flow further, the ink is no longer absorbed in the area Y, and any more ink is less likely to flow out of the ink storage chamber.
- the space between the ink absorber 40 and the partition 2 functions as a damper).
- the amount of ink that tends to flow out tends to flow into the space between the ink absorber 40 and the partition wall 2 or into the area X where the capillary force is strong. Therefore, when saturation occurs in the area Y, ink does not flow from the ink storage chamber 3 side to the reservoir chamber side even if there is a temperature rise or a change in posture (there is a very small amount). .
- the ink when the ink is filled in the ink storage chamber 3 in the initial stage, the ink is preliminarily held in the region Y where the porosity of the ink absorber 40 is low so that the ink is saturated. Even if the temperature rises or the posture changes, the ink does not flow out of the ink storage chamber 3 into the reservoir chamber 4, so that the ink storage amount changes for each writing instrument. It can be suppressed reliably.
- the posture change for eliminating the ink poor state of the application unit 8 is performed at the time of writing.
- the frequency of lancing can be further reduced (the writable distance can be extended without changing the posture).
- the region X of the ink absorber 40 holds the ink flowing on the surface portion of the relay core 10 or absorbs a part of the ink saturated in the region Y at the time of application by the application body 8.
- it has a function of so-called “included”, and also has a function of effectively suppressing the application body 8 from being in an ink-rich state.
- the above-described predetermined gap G, and ink is supplied by the capillary force. It may be set to a size that does not hold. That is, even if the ink in the ink storage chamber 3 is configured to flow freely into the reservoir chamber 4 without being held by the predetermined gap G, the capillary force, the sealing effect in the above-described area Y, The amount of change in the ink in the ink storage chamber 3 can be suppressed.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a ninth embodiment of the present invention.
- the holder 45 in the above-described eighth embodiment is formed integrally with the partition wall 2, and the ink absorber 40 having a low porosity in the small diameter portion 45a is brought into direct contact with the gap G. Things.
- the inner surfaces of the small-diameter portion 45a and the large-diameter portion 45b that change the porosity of the holder 45 that holds the ink absorber 40 are tapered so that the pores of the ink absorber 40 are formed. The rate is continuously changed in the axial direction.
- the configuration of the holder 45 for changing the porosity of the ink absorber 40 having the single structure described above can be appropriately modified.
- the tenth embodiment shown in FIG. a configuration may be adopted in which the inner diameter of the holder is changed stepwise while being integrally formed with the partition wall 2.
- a plurality of ink absorbers having different porosity may be provided adjacent to each other in the axial direction, instead of the ink absorber having a single structure.
- FIG. 12 (a) is a diagram showing an eleventh embodiment of the present invention.
- small diameter portions 45a are formed at both ends in the axial direction of the holder 45 as a means for changing the porosity of the ink absorber 40 having the single structure. That is, in the small-diameter portion 45a, the pressing force directed toward the center is larger than in the other portions, which results in a region where the porosity is low in the radial direction. The porosity is high along the area, and it becomes an area.
- the sealing effect of the ink film can be further enhanced, and the coating body 8 can be formed. Can be more effectively suppressed. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, when a large amount of ink flows into the ink absorber 40 due to a rapid temperature rise or the like, the ink flows out into the region X having a high porosity, and eventually the entire ink absorber 40 is saturated. It is possible.
- each of the regions having a low porosity regions having a strong capillary force
- a seal is formed by the ink film, and in the high porosity region which is an intermediate portion, the ink is difficult to enter due to the sealing effect formed on both sides, and the entire ink absorber 40 is hard to be saturated.
- the small-diameter portion 45a for reducing the porosity is configured as a rib protruding toward the center in the circumferential direction, as shown in FIG. Thing Just do it.
- the porosity decreases along the radial direction. It can be configured as follows.
- FIGS. 13A and 13B are views showing a twelfth embodiment of the present invention.
- the ink absorber 40 is set so that the porosity of the application body 8 is reduced. That is, a small-diameter portion 45a is formed on the application body 8 side of the holder 45 (FIG. 13A), or a teno 45a that is gradually reduced in diameter is formed on the application body 8 side (FIG. 13B). By doing so, the porosity of the ink absorber 40 on the application body 8 side is set to be low.
- the seal film formed by the ink force in the gap between the ball chip and the holder (tip holder) holding the ball chip makes it difficult to move to the ink storage chamber 3 side, thereby making writing impossible. Can be effectively avoided.
- the tip holder and the ink absorber may be in contact with each other, and a portion having a low porosity may be disposed in the contact portion. preferable.
- FIGS. 14A and 14B are diagrams showing a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention.
- a configuration in which liquid is not retained between the relay core 10 and the partition wall extension 2b over the entire longitudinal direction of the partition wall extension may be employed. That is, originally, the liquid cannot flow out to the reservoir chamber 4 by the partition wall 2 and the partition wall extending portion 2b described above, and since the head pressure does not act on the application body 8, the partition wall extension is not performed. Part of Outer 2b V. If a seal is formed by capillary force, it would be good!
- the inner surface of the partition wall extension 2b is tapered so as not to hold ink, and the inside of the tip is shown in FIG. 7 (b).

- the partition wall extension 2b is set to be higher than the liquid level H of the ink, regardless of which coating body 8 is turned downward. Even when writing is performed with the body 8, the application body 8 is configured so that the head pressure of the ink contained in the ink storage chamber 3 does not act. Further, in each of the reservoir chambers 4, an ink absorber 40 that absorbs ink is installed as in the above-described embodiment.
- the length L1 of one partition wall extending portion 2b is longer than the length L2 of the other partition wall extending portion 2.
- the ink absorber 12 (see, for example, FIG. 3) disposed in the reservoir chamber 4 may be made of a porous and soft material such as a fiber material such as cotton.
- a large number of disk-shaped members are arranged adjacent to each other along the axial direction, and are constituted by a known hard ink holder (feeder mechanism) 50 that can hold ink between gaps between the members. Is also good. In this case, the outflowing ink is continuously held by the holding portions 50a, 50b, 50c,.
- the configuration of the ink absorber installed in the reservoir chamber 4 can be appropriately modified.
- a writing tool is described as an example of the liquid supply device.
- a brush 6 connected to the relay core 10 is attached to the distal end of the main body 1.
- 0 applying body
- a cosmetic tool for applying a cosmetic liquid perfume, lotion, etc.
- a pen-type stamping device in which a rubber member 70 (applied body) for stamping connected to the relay core 10 may be provided at the tip of the main body 1 may be used.
- the main body 1 has a large diameter and a short length, and a rubber member 80 (applying body) for a stamp connected to the relay core 10 is provided at the front end thereof. It may be configured as a device.
- the writing device in which ink (liquid) is stored in advance is described as an example of the liquid supply device.
- the liquid supply device is configured as a simple container that stores liquid. It may be. That is, a user who purchased the container may be configured as a container in which various liquids are stored in the liquid storage chamber 3 and applied by the application body 8 according to the usage mode. With such a configuration, the operation and effect obtained in each of the above embodiments can be obtained, and the liquid can be easily filled into the liquid storage chamber 3 simply by removing the tail plug 5.
- a cap may not be attached to the application body 8 or the tail plug 5 may not be attached or detached.
- constituent members in each of the above-described embodiments can be appropriately applied to other embodiments according to the usage of the device, the type of liquid to be stored, and the like. Further, depending on the liquid to be used, for example, a constituent member may be added separately, such as enclosing a stirring weight in the liquid storage chamber 3.
- the rear end of the relay core 10 may be configured to be terminated at an intermediate portion of the partition wall extension 2b.
- the present invention is applied to various devices that supply a liquid to a coating body from a liquid storage chamber storing the liquid via a relay core to which the coating body is connected, and apply the liquid here. It is possible to do so.
