- the writing core 10 held by the chuck 4 is also rotationally driven through the chuck 4. Therefore, for convenience, the display mark 6c indicated by a circle on the rotor 6 is sequentially moved in the circumferential direction as shown in the figure.
- the rotor 6 receives a rotational motion corresponding to one tooth of the cam each time due to the reciprocating motion of the rotor 6 in the axial direction accompanying the writing operation. It is rotationally driven in the direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the writing core from being unevenly worn as the writing progresses, and it is possible to solve the problem that the thickness of the drawn line and the darkness of the drawn line change greatly.
- the tip pipe 7 for guiding the writing core disposed so as to protrude from the lip portion 2 is attached to the tip portion of the rotor 6 via the pipe holding member 7A and the slider 8. Therefore, the tip pipe 7 moves in the same direction via the pipe holding member 7 ⁇ / b> A and the slider 8 as the chuck 4 moves backward and forward along with the writing operation. Therefore, even if the writing core slightly moves back and forth with the writing operation (this is also referred to as a cushioning operation), the tip pipe 7 that guides the writing core also moves in the same direction, so that there is a gap between the tip pipe and the writing core. In this case, relative movement in the axial direction does not occur, and the protruding dimension of the writing core from the tip pipe 7 can be kept constant.
- the tip pipe 7 is coupled to the rotor 6 via the pipe holding member 7A and the slider 8, when the writing core is subjected to a rotational motion, the tip pipe is similarly subjected to the rotational motion.
- the tip pipe 7 and the writing core rotate together. That is, since the change in the protruding dimension of the writing core from the tip pipe and the relative rotation between the tip pipe and the writing core do not occur, it is possible to prevent the core from being broken by cutting the core in the tip pipe. The problem of contaminating the writing surface by shaving can be solved.
- the cylindrical torque canceller 17 that pushes the rotor 6 forward by receiving the biasing force of the coiled spring member 18 is between the front end face of the torque canceller 17 and the rear end face of the rotor 6. By causing a slip, the rotational movement of the rotor 6 caused by the repeated writing action is prevented from being transmitted to the spring member 18.
- the torque canceller 17 formed in a cylindrical shape is interposed between the rotor 6 and the spring member 18 to prevent the rotational motion of the rotor from being transmitted to the spring member.
- the problem that the rotating operation of the rotor 6 is obstructed can be solved by causing the spring member 18 to twist back (spring torque).
- FIG. 6 shows a first form of displaying the rotational operation of the rotor 6 accompanying the writing operation, that is, the rotational driving state of the writing core linked to the rotor 6 with respect to the mechanical pencil shown in FIGS. Is.
- a rotating state is formed on a part of the slider 8 that supports the tip pipe 7 via the pipe holding member 7 ⁇ / b> A, which is disposed in front of the shaft cylinder and exposed from the shaft cylinder.
- the example which gave the display means which can confirm is shown.
- the slider 8 shown in FIG. 6 is fitted and attached to the front end portion of the rotor 6, and thus is similarly driven by the rotation of the rotor 6 by a writing operation.
- a plurality of groove portions 8a that are long in the axial direction are formed on the exposed portion of the slider 8 from the shaft cylinder 1, that is, on the circumferential side surface of the conical shape that is slightly reduced in diameter toward the front.
- the groove portions 8a are provided along the axial direction at equal intervals in the circumferential direction (equal intervals of 120 degrees in the illustrated example). Therefore, it can be seen directly that the groove 8a as the display means applied to the slider 8 rotates in the circumferential direction by the rotation of the rotor 6 accompanying the writing operation. Thereby, it is possible to clearly grasp the state in which the writing core is rotationally driven together with the rotor 6.
- FIG. 7 shows a second example in which a display means for confirming the rotation state is provided on a part of the slider 8 supporting the tip pipe 7.
- a plurality of long groove portions 8a in the axial direction are formed in the exposed portion of the slider 8 from the shaft cylinder 1, and each groove portion and the shaft core are formed between the groove portions 8a adjacent in the circumferential direction.
- a bulging portion 8b bulging in a thicker shape is formed on the outer side of the radius connecting the two.
- FIG. 8 shows the overall structure of the slider 8 partially shown in FIG.
- the groove portion 8a is provided along the axial direction at equal intervals of approximately 90 degrees in the circumferential direction.
- a cylindrical bulging portion 8b is formed between the groove portions 8a.
- FIG. 9 shows an example in which a display means for confirming the rotation state is applied to a part of the knock cover 25 that is exposed from the shaft cylinder toward the rear of the shaft cylinder, that is, a part of the knock cover 25.
- the knock cover 25 is similarly rotationally driven through the chuck 4, the core case 3, and the knock bar 21 as the rotor 6 rotates.
- grooves 25a are axially spaced in the circumferential direction at equal intervals (120 degrees in the illustrated example) on the conical circumferential side surface of the knock cover 25 that is slightly reduced in diameter toward the rear. It is given along the direction. That is, the same groove part 25a as the example which gave the groove part 6a to the slider 8 shown in FIG. 6 already demonstrated is formed.
- Reference numeral 25c denotes a vent hole formed in the bottom surface portion of the knock cover 25.
- FIG. 10 shows a second example in which a display means for confirming the rotation state is provided on a part of the knock cover 25.
- a plurality of long groove portions 25a in the axial direction are formed at equal intervals on the peripheral side surface of the knock cover 25 formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the groove portions 25a adjacent in the circumferential direction are formed.

Even if the display means is configured by forming the configuration other than the outer shape, that is, by forming the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the axial direction into a different shape other than a perfect circle, the same effect can be expected.

Abstract
Description
そして、構成部材が異形状に成形される後者の例として、前記構成部材にはその表面に軸方向に長い溝部が形成された構成を好適に採用することができる。
加えて前記構成部材、すなわちスライダーもしくはノックカバーには表示手段が施されているので、その回転動作をより明確に確認することができる。
このチャック4は、その軸芯に沿って通孔4aが形成され、また先端部が三方向に分割されて、分割された先端部がリング状に形成された締め具5内に遊嵌されるようにして装着されている。そして、リング状の前記締め具5は前記チャック4の周囲を覆うようにして配置された円筒状に形成された回転子6の先端部内面に装着されている。
なお前記リターンバネ10の一端部(後端部)は前記芯ケース3の端面に、また前記リターンバネ10の他端部(前端部)は回転子6内に形成された環状の端面に当接した状態で収容されている。したがって前記リターンバネ10の作用により、回転子6内のチャック4は後退する方向に付勢されている。
一方、前記回転子6の後端部には、円筒状の上カム形成部材13が回転子6の後端部を覆うようにして軸筒1内に取り付けられており、前記上カム形成部材13の前端部には、前記回転子6における第1のカム面6aに対峙するようにして固定カム面(第1の固定カム面ともいう。)13aが形成されている。
なお、前記回転子6に形成されている第1と第2のカム面6a,6bと、前記第1の固定カム面13a、第2の固定カム面14aとの関係および相互の作用については、図4および図5に基づいて後で詳細に説明する。
なお、前記ノック棒21における消しゴム24の装着位置には、替え芯の補給口21aが形成されている。
そして、回転子に形成された第1のカム面6a、第2のカム面6b、上カム形成部材13に形成された第1の固定カム面13a、下カム形成部材14に形成された第2の固定カム面14aの周方向に沿って鋸歯状に形成された各カム面は、そのピッチが互いにほぼ同一となるように形成されている。
なお、図4および図5に示す回転子6の中央部に描いた符号6cで示す○印は、回転子6の回転移動を説明するために便宜的に付けた表示マークである。
したがって筆記動作に伴い、筆記芯がわずかに前後動(これをクッション動作ともいう。)しても、筆記芯を案内する先端パイプ7も同方向に移動するので、先端パイプと筆記芯との間において軸方向の相対移動が生ずることはなく、先端パイプ7からの筆記芯の出寸法を一定に保つことができる。
すなわち、先端パイプからの筆記芯の出寸法の変化、先端パイプと筆記芯との相対回転が発生しないので、先端パイプにおいて芯を切削することによる芯折れの発生を防止させることができ、また芯の削りかすにより筆記面を汚染させるという問題も解消することができる。
この構成においても、筆記動作に伴う回転子6の回転によりスライダー8に施された溝部8aおよび膨出部8bが周方向に回転するのを直視することができる。これにより、前記回転子6と共に筆記芯が回転駆動を受けている様子を明確に把握することができる。
なお符号25cは、ノックカバーの25の底面部に形成された通気孔を示している。
なお図10においても符号25cは、ノックカバーの25の底面部に形成された通気孔を示している。
しかしながら、筆記芯の回転状態が確認できる表示手段としては、前記した特定な外形形状に限られることはなく、軸芯に直交する方向の切断面における周縁が、前記軸芯を中心とする真円以外の外形形状になされた構成、すなわち軸方向に直交する断面形状が真円以外の異形状に成形することにより前記表示手段を構成しても、同様の作用効果を期待することができる。
