Definitions
- the invention relates to a writing tip for ballpoint pens with a ball receiving bore for a writing ball incorporated into the tip housing, a circumferential support surface inclined to a central feed bore and arranged between this and the receiving bore, with feed channels opening into the central feed bore and into the support surface and having spherically shaped feed channels , support zones adapted to the sphere.
- DE-OS 20 34 274 shows a receiving bore with a support surface which runs around a central ink feed bore and is pierced by a plurality of ink feed channels.
- a circumferential support zone is worked into the support surface in such a way that its individual components, which are located on the sections lying between the feed channels, touch over the feed channels and partially cover them towards the writing ball.
- This structure has several maching parts. First, the contact area between the ball and the support zones is relatively large overall, which leads to a corresponding rolling resistance for the ball. On the other hand, due to the partial covering of the feed channels with respect to the ball, the flow of writing medium can easily be torn off, which leads to misfires since the lubrication caused by the writing medium is eliminated.
- a writing tip for ballpoint pens is known from US Pat. No. 3,166,618, in which the support zones are located on raised areas which are attached to a circumferential support surface and which form paste feeds between them.
- the rolling resistance of the support zones to the ball is lower.
- a disadvantage of this construction is that the intermediate surfaces, which are located between the support zones and the support surface, drop relatively steeply from the spherical support zone and therefore away from the spherical surface.
- the transition between the relatively low-capillary zone of the feed bore and the feeds, as well as the support zones forming the ball receptacle, which have a high capillary action is very abrupt, which likewise has a negative effect on the writing behavior and the lubricating behavior.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a writing tip for ballpoint pens and to design such that a low rolling resistance between the support zones and the writing ball is connected with optimal lubrication of this area, so that good writing behavior without misfires and dry running of the ball at different.
- Writing materials both pasty and aqueous inks, is achieved.
- the surface inclination (a) of the circumferential support surface should be 45 to 60 °, preferably 48 to 53 ° in relation to the central axis of the receiving bore.
- the capillary-increasing intermediate According to one embodiment, surfaces that can be designed to be flat, as well as convex or concave, run parallel to the supporting surface and along two adjacent feed channels, whereby they are inclined towards them. Your P ⁇ pher inclination (b) to the axis of the feed channels or the axis of the feed bore of the scraper tip should be between 91 and 105 °, preferably between 92 and 97 °.
- two intermediate zones which increase the capillary are arranged between the support zones and the feed channels and can partially open into the spherical support zones.
- an intermediate surface is arranged between two feed channels. This essentially covers the section of the circumferential support surface in the interior that exists between the channels.
- each support zone is surrounded on at least three sides by an intermediate surface.
- each support zone can be arranged peripner essentially in the center of an associated intermediate surface and can be radially directly connected to the feed bore.
- the intermediate surfaces open into narrowed channel sections of the feed channels that increase capillarity.
- the spherical support zones should have a depth of 0.008 to 0.02 mm.
- 1 is a writing tip according to the first embodiment with an inserted ball
- FIG. 2 shows the front area of the writing tip according to FIG. 1 without an inserted writing ball
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 2
- FIGS. 1 to 3 shows the feed channel with support surfaces according to FIGS. 1 to 3,
- FIG. 5 shows a writing tip according to the second embodiment with an inserted writing ball
- FIG. 6 shows the front area of the writing tip according to FIG. 5 without an inserted screaming ball
- FIG. 7 is a top view of FIG. 6.
- the writing tip shown in Fig. 1 / consists of a tip housing and a writing ball 3.
- a receiving bore 2 for the writing ball 3 which is followed by a central feed hole 4 for the writing medium, which runs axially to the rear.
- the transition from receiving bore 2 and feed bore 4 is formed by a circumferential, inwardly inclined support surface 6.
- the support surface 6 is interrupted by a plurality of feed channels 5 for the writing medium, which extend axially away from the support surface and open into the feed bore 4, from which they extend radially outwards.
- the support zones 7, on which the writing ball 3 rests, are located on the supporting surface 6. Towards the front, the writing ball 3 is held in the receiving bore by a holding edge 11.
- Fig. 2 shows the receiving bore 2 and the feed bore 4 with the arranged between them at an angle a
- Support surface 6 tMultiple feed channels 5 break through the support surface 6 axially to the rear and open into the feed bore 4.
- tMultiple feed channels 5 break through the support surface 6 axially to the rear and open into the feed bore 4.
- In the front area of the support surface 6 there are support zones 7 between two feed channels 5, which have a spherical shape adapted to the surface of the writing ball 3.
- Support surface 6 run.
- the intermediate surfaces 8 can merge into the support zones 7.
- FIG. 3 shows how the support surface 6 is interrupted by the feed channels 5, how the support zones 7 are located on the support surface 6 at the front, towards the feed bore 4, the intermediate surfaces 8 ′ being located between support zones 7 and feed channels 5. extend. Interfaces 8 'and support zones 7 merge into one another.
- FIG. 4 schematically shows the sequence of support zone 7, intermediate surface 8 'and feed channel 5.
- the angle b between intermediate surface 8' and central central axis 9 of the feed channel 5 should be between 91 and 105 °.
- the tip housing 1 has a receiving bore 2, a central feed bore 4 for the writing medium and in the transition between the receiving bore 2 and feed bore 4, as well as an inner region 6' and an outer region 6 '' on an inwardly inclined, circumferential support surface (6).
- the support surface (6) is interrupted by a plurality of feed channels 5 for the writing medium, which open into the feed bore.
- the writing ball 3 rests on the support zones 7 and is held in this position by a front holding edge 11.
- the support surface (6) has an all-round outer region 6 ′′, which, like the support zone according to FIG. the first embodiment, is inclined straight inwards.
- the support surface (6) is pierced by a plurality of feed channels 5 which extend axially to the rear and open into the feed bore 4.
- intermediate surfaces 8 ′′ are arranged on the inner region 6 ′ of the supporting surface (6) in such a way that they cut through the spherical shape of the inner region 6 ′ of the supporting zone (6). so that between the feed channels 5 and at a short distance from them, in relation to the inner region 6 'of the support zone (6), there are raised areas which act as intermediate surfaces 8''which increase the capillarity between the feed channels 5 and the support zones 7 serve, which are located on the middle of the intermediate surfaces 8 '', the support zones 7 then being surrounded by three sides of an intermediate surface 8 '' and directly connected to the central feed bore 4 towards the fourth side.
- This structure also results in high capillarity between the writing ball 3 and the intermediate surfaces 8 ′′, with increasing capillarity towards the support zone 7 and thus the contact surface of the writing ball, as a result of which the writing medium literally exits the supply channels 5 into the highly capillary zone between the writing ball 3 and the supporting zone 7 is sucked. It results from this structure that the writing ball constantly floats on a thin film of writing medium, which does not tear off, as a result of which the writing ball is always well lubricated and, as a result, and due to the small contact surfaces, has low rolling resistance and good writing behavior.
- narrowed channel sections 5' can be arranged which improve the flow of writing medium from the feed channels 5 into the inner region 6 'of the support surface.
- FIG. 7 shows how the support surface is divided into an outer 6 ′′ and an inner region 6 ′, it being broken through by a total of several feed channels 5.
- 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 each show the left half of a writing tip A, A ', in which the ball 3 has not yet been pressed in and crimped, while the right halves show the situation when pressed in Represent ball and crimped nib.
- A, A 'writing tip a surface inclination of 6 b peripheral inclination of the intermediate surfaces 8' z depth of the support zones 7
