Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schreibgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a writing instrument according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es sind unterschiedliche Schreibgeräte, wie beispielsweise Füllfederhalter, Kugelschreiber etc. bekannt, die einen Halterschaft und ein damit verschraubtes Vorderteil mit einer Schreibspitze aufweisen. Vorderteil und Halterschaft sind auseinanderschraubbar ausgebildet, um Tinte oder Tusche auffüllen oder Tintenpatronen oder eine Schreibmine ersetzen zu können. Der Halterschaft ist aus diesem Grund an seinem offenen Ende mit einem Innengewinde und das Vorderteil an seinem von der Schreibspitze abgewandten Ende mit einem Außengewinde versehen.Different writing instruments, such as fountain pens, ballpoint pens, etc., are known which have a holder shaft and a front part screwed to it with a writing tip. The front part and holder shaft can be screwed apart so that ink or ink can be refilled or ink cartridges or a writing refill can be replaced. For this reason, the holder shaft is provided with an internal thread at its open end and the front part with an external thread at its end facing away from the writing tip.

Bei einigen Schreibgeräten ist die Außenfläche mit einer Musterung, etwa in Form von farblichen oder reliefartigen Gestaltungen versehen, die sich über die Außenflächen von Halterschaft und Vorderteil ziehen. Beispiele dafür sind Rillen oder farbige Striche, die in Längsrichtung über die Oberfläche des Schreibgerätes verlaufen. Ebenso gibt es Schreibgeräte, die im Querschnitt zur Längsachse nicht exakt kreisförmig sind, sondern beispielsweise einen ovalen oder polygonalen Querschnitt haben.
Bei den genannten Gestaltungen ergibt sich der Nachteil, daß nach dem Zusammenschrauben von Halterschaft und Vorderteil diese in ihrer Schließstellung in der Regel nicht passend zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Die Oberflächengestaltungen von Halterschaft und Vorderteil gehen daher in der Regel nicht passend ineinander über, sondern sind gegeneinander verdreht, wenn sie vom Benutzer nicht genau zueinander eingestellt werden. Die exakte Einstellung beider Teile zueinander ist für den Benutzer zum einen mühsam, und zum anderen ist dabei nicht sichergestellt, daß in der nach der Oberflächengestaltung richtigen Einstellung beider Teile eine feste und sichere Verschlußstellung der Schraubverbindung gewährleistet wird.
With some writing instruments, the outer surface is provided with a pattern, for example in the form of colored or relief-like designs, which extend over the outer surfaces of the holder shaft and front part. Examples of this are grooves or colored lines that run longitudinally over the surface of the writing instrument. There are also writing implements that are not exactly circular in cross-section to the longitudinal axis, but instead have, for example, an oval or polygonal cross-section.
In the above-mentioned designs, there is the disadvantage that after the holder shaft and front part have been screwed together, they are generally not aligned with one another in their closed position. The surface designs of the holder shaft and front part therefore do not usually merge into one another, but are twisted against one another if they are not set exactly to one another by the user. The exact adjustment of both parts to each other is tedious for the user, on the one hand, and on the other hand it is not ensured that a firm and secure locking position of the screw connection is ensured in the correct setting of both parts according to the surface design.

Aus der JP-U 60-48471 ist eine Schaftrohr-Verbindungsstruktur in einem Schreibgerät bekannt, wobei am hinteren Ende eines ersten Schaftrohres ein Zylinderteil mit mindestens einem Vorsprung vorgesehen ist, der beim Verschrauben mit dem vorderen Teil eines Schaftrohres gegen die Anschlagfläche eines sägezahnförmigen Vorsprungs des Vorderteiles anliegt.From JP-U 60-48471 a shaft tube connection structure in a writing instrument is known, a cylinder part with at least one projection being provided at the rear end of a first shaft tube, which when screwed to the front part of a shaft tube against the stop surface of a sawtooth-shaped projection Front part rests.

Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist, daß die Trennlinie zwischen Schaft und Vorderteil nicht geradlinig verläuft und daß die Stirnflächen von Schaft und Vorderteil sich nicht berühren können. Der Benutzer muß den Eindruck haben, daß er beide Teile nicht richtig zusammengeschraubt hat.A disadvantage of this solution is that the dividing line between the shaft and the front part does not run in a straight line and that the end faces of the shaft and front part cannot touch. The user must have the impression that he has not screwed the two parts together correctly.

Aus der FR-A 2 036 272 ist eine Schraubverbindung zwischen einem Schraubdeckel und einer Flasche bekannt, bei der beispielsweise am Flaschenhals radiale Vorsprünge vorgesehen sind. Ein auf der inneren Zylinderfläche der Kappe vorgesehener Vorsprung greift nach dem Aufschrauben in die Vorsprünge am Flaschenhals ein und verhindert so, daß der Deckel zu weit aufgeschraubt wird. Diese Lösung setzt voraus, daß Deckel und/oder Flaschenhals elastisch nachgiebig gestaltet sind, damit der Vorsprung im Deckel über einen Vorsprung am Flaschenhals hinweggleiten kann. Eine solche Ausführung ist für ein Schreibgerät nicht brauchbar.From FR-A 2 036 272 a screw connection between a screw cap and a bottle is known, in which radial projections are provided on the bottle neck, for example. A projection provided on the inner cylindrical surface of the cap engages in the projections on the bottle neck after screwing on and thus prevents the lid from being screwed on too far. This solution presupposes that the lid and / or bottle neck are designed to be resilient so that the projection in the lid can slide over a projection on the bottle neck. Such an embodiment cannot be used for a writing instrument.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein aus zwei miteinander zu verschraubenden Teilen bestehendes Schreibgerät zu schaffen, bei dem beide Teile nach dem Zusammenschrauben eine Schließposition mit vorgegebener Drehstellung zueinander einnehmen und in dieser Position eine lösbare Verriegelung bilden.It is an object of the invention to provide a writing instrument consisting of two parts to be screwed together, in which both parts have a closed position with a predetermined rotational position after being screwed together take each other and form a releasable lock in this position.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit dessen Oberbegriff. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.To solve this problem, the characterizing features of claim 1 serve in conjunction with its preamble. Advantageous refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist jeder Vorsprung als eine an der Innenfläche in Längsrichtung des Halterschaftes verlaufende Rippe ausgebildet, die von dem offenen Ende des Halterschaftes aus hinter dem Innengewinde beginnt und in das Innere verläuft. Entsprechend dazu haben im vorderen Rand der das Außengewinde tragenden zylindrischen Außenfläche des Vorderteiles die Ausnehmungen die Form von axialen Einschnitten.According to the invention, each projection is designed as a rib running on the inner surface in the longitudinal direction of the holder shaft, which begins from the open end of the holder shaft behind the internal thread and extends into the interior. Correspondingly, the recesses in the front edge of the cylindrical outer surface of the front part carrying the external thread have the form of axial incisions.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind wenigstens zwei Rippen an der Innenfläche des Halterschaftes und wenigstens zwei Einschnitte im äußeren Rand der zylindrischen Außenfläche des Vorderteils vorgesehen.In an advantageous embodiment, at least two ribs are provided on the inner surface of the holder shaft and at least two incisions in the outer edge of the cylindrical outer surface of the front part.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist der vordere Rand der Außenfläche des Vorderteiles von einem Einschnitt zum nächsten in Gangrichtung des Außengewindes axial in der Weise ansteigend ausgebildet, daß jeder Einschnitt eine hohe seitliche Begrenzung und eine niedrige seitliche Begrenzung, welche durch eine niedriger als die hohe seitliche Begrenzung geformte axiale Erhöhung gebildet wird, aufweist. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß jeder Vorsprung bei Erreichen der Schließposition mit relativ geringem Widerstand über die flach ausgebildete axiale Erhöhung in den Einschnitt gleitet und dann gegen die hohe seitliche Begrenzung anschlägt, was ein weiteres Einschrauben des Vorderteils über die Schließposition hinaus verhindert. Auf der anderen Seite wird der Vorsprung durch die axiale Erhöhung in dem Einschnitt festgehalten, so daß zum Abschrauben des Vorderteils vom Halterschaft ein gewisser Widerstand überwunden werden muß, damit der Vorsprung über die axiale Erhöhung aus dem Einschnitt herausgleitet und so die Arretierung gelöst wird.In a further advantageous embodiment, the front edge of the outer surface of the front part is axially increasing from one cut to the next in the direction of the external thread in such a way that each cut has a high lateral limit and a low lateral limit, which is characterized by a lower than the high lateral Limit shaped axial Increase is formed. It is thereby achieved that each projection slides into the incision with relatively little resistance when the closing position is reached, and then strikes against the high lateral limitation, which prevents the front part from being screwed in further beyond the closing position. On the other hand, the projection is held in the incision by the axial elevation, so that a certain resistance has to be overcome to unscrew the front part from the holder shaft so that the projection slides out of the incision via the axial elevation and so the locking is released.

Die Ausgestaltung des Halterschafts mit wenigstens zwei in seinem Inneraum an der Innenfläche verlaufenden Rippen hat den weiteren Vorteil, daß Einsätze, wie etwa Tintenbehälter, Tintenpatronen, etc., im Innenraum des Halterschaftes durch die Rippen zentriert gehalten werden.The design of the holder shaft with at least two ribs running in its interior on the inner surface has the further advantage that inserts, such as ink containers, ink cartridges, etc., are kept centered in the interior of the holder shaft by the ribs.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in den Zeichnungen erläutert, in denen:

Figur 1
eine perspektivische, teilweise aufgebrochene Darstellung eines auseinandergeschraubten Schreibgerätes ist;
Figur 2
eine perspektivische Darstellung des von der Schreibspitzeabgewandten Endes des Vorderteils ist; und
Figur 3
eine abgerollte Darstellung des vorderen zylindrischen Endes des Vorderteils aus Figur 2 ist.
The invention is explained below using an exemplary embodiment in the drawings, in which:
Figure 1
is a perspective, partially broken away view of a writing instrument screwed apart;
Figure 2
is a perspective view of the end of the front part facing away from the nib; and
Figure 3
a rolled up view of the front cylindrical end of the front part of Figure 2.

In Figur 1 ist ein Schreibgerät in Form eines Füllfederhalters mit einem Halterschaft 1 und einem Vorderteil 2 mit Schreibspitze 3 gezeigt. Der Halterschaft 1 ist hohl und weist an seinem offenen Ende an der Innenfläche 12 ein Innengewinde 11 auf. Demgegenüber trägt das Vorderteil 2 an seinem von der Schreibspitze 3 abgewandten Ende ein Außengewinde 21, das auf einer zylindrischen Außenfläche 22 angeordnet ist.FIG. 1 shows a writing instrument in the form of a fountain pen with a holder shaft 1 and a front part 2 with a writing tip 3. The holder shaft 1 is hollow and has an internal thread 11 at its open end on the inner surface 12. In contrast, the front part 2 carries at its from the writing tip 3 opposite end an external thread 21 which is arranged on a cylindrical outer surface 22.

Die ersten Arretiermittel 13, 14 werden in dem Ausführungsbeispiel durch zwei in axialer Richtung verlaufende Rippen gebildet, die an der Innenfläche 12 hinter dem Innengewinde 11 beginnen und an der Innenfläche 12 weiter in das Innere des Halterschaftes 1 verlaufen. Dementsprechend sind die zweiten Arretiermittel 23, 24 als Einschnitte im vorderen Rand 25, 26 der zylindrischen Außenfläche 22 des Vorderteils 2 gestaltet. Die ersten Arretiermittel 13, 14 und die zweiten Arretiermittel sind derart zueinander angeordnet, daß jede Rippe jeweils in einen zugehörigen Einschnitt gleitet und dort einrastet, wenn das Vorderteil 2 beim Zusammenschrauben seine vorgegeben Schließposition am Halterschaft 1 erreicht. Durch die Arretierung wird erreicht, daß Halterschaft 1 und Vorderteil 2 in ihrer Schließposition eine vorgegebene Drehstellung zueinander haben, so daß Muster oder Oberflächengestaltungen an den Oberflächen 10 und 20 der beiden Teile 1,2 passend zueinander ausgerichtet sind.In the exemplary embodiment, the first locking means 13, 14 are formed by two ribs running in the axial direction, which begin on the inner surface 12 behind the internal thread 11 and continue on the inner surface 12 into the interior of the holder shaft 1. Accordingly, the second locking means 23, 24 are designed as incisions in the front edge 25, 26 of the cylindrical outer surface 22 of the front part 2. The first locking means 13, 14 and the second locking means are arranged with respect to one another such that each rib slides into an associated incision and engages there when the front part 2 reaches its predetermined closed position on the holder shaft 1 when screwed together. The locking ensures that the holder shaft 1 and the front part 2 have a predetermined rotational position in relation to one another in their closed position, so that patterns or surface designs on the surfaces 10 and 20 of the two parts 1, 2 are aligned with one another.

Die Ausbildung der zweiten Arretiermittel 23, 24 ist in den Figuren 2 und 3 genauer dargestellt. Figur 2 zeigt das von der Schreibspitze abgewandte Ende des Vorderteils 2, das eine zylindrische Außenfläche 22 mit einem Außengewinde 21 aufweist. Die zweiten Arretiermittel 23, 24 haben die Form von axialen Einschnitten im vorderen Rand 25, 26 der zylindrischen Außenfläche 22. Der vordere Rand 25, 26 ist so geformt, daß er ausgehend von einem Einschnitt 23 in Gangrichtung der Schraubverbindung zunächst eine axiale Erhöhung aufweist, die eine flache seitliche Begrenzung 23' bildet, und anschließend in dem Bereich 26 des Randes zum nächsten Einschnitt 24 hin ansteigt, so daß dort eine erhöhte seitliche Begrenzung 24' gebildet wird. Entsprechend steigt auch der Randbereich 25 zwischen den beiden Einschnitten 23, 24 an. Diese Ausbildung der Einschnitte und des vorderen Randes ist in Figur 3 zu erkennen, in der der vordere Teil der zylindrischen Außenfläche 22 an der seitlichen Begrenzung 23' aufgeschnitten und abgerollt dargestellt ist.The design of the second locking means 23, 24 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 shows the end of the front part 2 facing away from the writing tip, which has a cylindrical outer surface 22 with an external thread 21. The second locking means 23, 24 have the form of axial incisions in the front edge 25, 26 of the cylindrical outer surface 22. The front edge 25, 26 is shaped in such a way that, starting from an incision 23 in the thread direction of the screw connection, it initially has an axial elevation, which forms a flat lateral boundary 23 ', and then rises in the region 26 of the edge to the next incision 24, so that an increased lateral boundary 24' is formed there. The edge region 25 between the two incisions 23, 24 also rises accordingly. This formation of the incisions and the front edge can be seen in Figure 3, in which the front Part of the cylindrical outer surface 22 is cut open at the lateral boundary 23 'and shown rolled.

Beim Zusammenschrauben von Vorderteil 2 und Halterschaft 1 nähern sich die Rippen 13, 14 im Halterschaft 1 bei Annäherung an die Schließposition den Einschnitten 23, 24 im vorderen Rand 25, 26 des Vorderteils 2 an und gleiten schließlich über die axialen Erhöhungen in die Einschnitte 23, 24. Die erhöhten seitlichen Begrenzungen 23', 24' bilden dann jeweils einen Anschlag, so daß ein weiteres Verschrauben des Vorderteils 2 am Halterschaft 1 verhindert wird. Die flacher geformten seitlichen Begrenzungen 23'', 24'' bieten den Rippen 13, 14 beim Herausgleiten aus den Einschnitten 23, 24 einen relativ geringeren Widerstand, der einerseits ausreichend ist, um die beiden Teile in ihrer Schließposition festzuhalten, und der andererseits von dem Benutzer beim Losschrauben relativ leicht überwunden werden kann.When the front part 2 and the holder shaft 1 are screwed together, the ribs 13, 14 in the holder shaft 1 approach the incisions 23, 24 in the front edge 25, 26 of the front part 2 when approaching the closed position and finally slide over the axial elevations into the incisions 23, 24. The raised lateral boundaries 23 ', 24' then each form a stop, so that a further screwing of the front part 2 on the holder shaft 1 is prevented. The flatter shaped side boundaries 23 '', 24 '' offer the ribs 13, 14 a relatively lower resistance when sliding out of the incisions 23, 24, which is sufficient on the one hand to hold the two parts in their closed position and on the other hand from that Users can be overcome relatively easily when unscrewing.
