Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refill container for a writing, marking, painting or drawing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a refill container for refilling a writing, painting or drawing device, a cosmetic application device or the like is known from DE 4027751 A1 by the applicant.
  • This known refill container is provided for filling a corresponding device from the front.
  • a refill container for refilling a writing, painting or drawing device which is also provided for refilling the corresponding device from its front, is known from DE 4 039 614 A1 by the applicant.
  • the disadvantage of these devices to be filled through the writing tip is that the storage device can be refilled only very slowly and only with a relatively small amount of liquid.
  • the original-filled memory has e.g. In the order of magnitude of 5 g of liquid, such a device can only be refilled from the front to a limited extent, i.e. it takes a relatively long time to refill such a device. It may take a few hours to refill, which must be considered a disadvantage.
  • a refillable writing or marking device in particular a fiber or felt-tip pen, with a housing, a capillary memory for holding a writing or marking liquid and a capillary writing tip connected to said memory, is known from the applicant's DE 3014761 C2.
  • a capillary filling wick is connected to the end of the storage element opposite the writing tip, which protrudes outwards. This capillary filling wick is intended for refilling the device from the rear.
  • a refillable applicator in particular a refillable writing, drawing, painting or marking device, is known from DE 41 04 871 A1, which has a closure body which can be at least partially removed from the housing or shaft end for refilling a liquid applicator.
  • the end of the shaft is closed by a closing body which is permanently attached to the shaft or is formed in one piece with it.
  • the A closure body is associated with the closure body, which cooperates with this to form the closure.
  • This known applicator can therefore be refilled from the rear, whereby, due to its construction, overfilling of the device can only be ruled out if a precisely defined amount of the liquid application agent is poured into the device.
  • a refill container is known from DE-GM 92 06 513, in which the device to be refilled can be inserted into the container or into the sleeve provided in the container until, for example, the device memory rests on the capillary conveying element.
  • the insertion movement of the device to be refilled is only determined and limited by the contact between the memory and the refill element, so that if the device is incorrectly inserted into the refill container, damage to the memory of the device or damage to the delivery element provided in the refill container cannot be excluded with certainty .
  • a refill container of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is known from FR-A 2089754.
  • the capillary conveying element fixed in the sleeve lies closely with its underside on the bottom of the refill container.
  • the sleeve is at a small distance from the bottom, so that a small gap remains between the underside of the sleeve and the bottom of the refill container, through which liquid can pass from the refill container to the capillary conveying element.
  • this results from the stop and the counter stop by which the insertion movement of a device to be refilled is defined
  • tolerances of the device to be refilled or its capillary storage or dimensional tolerances of the capillary conveying element in the refill container cannot be compensated. This can at least affect the refilling of a device.
  • This also applies in a corresponding manner to the refill container, as is known from US Pat. No. 4,614,163.
  • a device for refilling writing instruments which is equipped with wicks made of felt or plastic fibers for applying the writing or marking liquid such as ink and which is equipped with a capillary writing liquid reservoir.
  • This device is characterized by a separate liquid storage container with an adapter on the top, which receives the tip of a writing instrument, and which is equipped with a capillary tube immersed in the storage container as a buffer.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a refill of the type mentioned, in which damage to the memory of the device to be refilled and / or damage to the capillary conveying element provided in the refill can be reliably avoided, a simple and time-saving refilling of corresponding devices is also possible if their memories have dimensional or manufacturing tolerances.
  • the design of the refill container according to the invention has the advantage that a precisely defined contact of the rear end face of the memory of a device to be refilled with the top contact surface of the capillary conveying element provided in the refill container is ensured at all times.
  • the spring element is expediently provided on the side of the capillary conveying element facing away from the contact surface for the memory of a device to be refilled. Due to the spring element interacting with the conveying element, when a corresponding device is refilled between the conveying element, i.e.
  • a resilient system results at all times if a corresponding device to be refilled with the protective cap removed from its housing in the refill container is inserted.
  • This insertion movement is limited in a precisely defined manner by the abovementioned stop and counter-stop, which are formed on the housing of the device to be refilled and on the refill container. Due to the spring element provided between the container and the capillary conveying element, dimensional tolerances of the stores of various devices to be refilled can be easily compensated in an advantageous manner. These dimensional tolerances relate both to possible length tolerances of different memories and to the manufacturing tolerances of the dimensions with which the memories of various devices can protrude from the rear of their housings.
  • the frustoconical contact surface here advantageously has a somewhat smaller diameter than the envelope of the storage device, so that the capillary conveying element with its reduced truncated cone-shaped contact surface securely touches the fibers of the storage device even when it is - as stated above - when the storage device is inserted in the writing instrument can be moved axially.
  • the spring element by means of which the capillary conveying element is arranged resiliently in the container, can be a spiral spring made of metal or plastic or a suitably different design resilient element such as a tubular sleeve or the like. act.
  • the spring element is preferably formed by an open-pore sponge body, which thus has a certain capillarity, which, in addition to a suspension for the capillary conveying element, also has the advantage of also sucking up the last remnants of the liquid in the refill container and passing them on to the capillary conveying element.
  • the capillarity of the sponge body is suitably adapted to the capillarity of the conveying element.
  • the spring element is expediently positioned by the sleeve and it lies on the bottom of the container.
  • the positioning of the spring element through the sleeve can be ensured in such a way that the spring element can change its volume or its external shape with respect to the sleeve without hindrance.
  • the sleeve is designed with a stop for its defined axial fixing at the opening of the container.
  • This stop can be a collar which runs around the outside of the sleeve and which expediently fits tightly and tightly on the annular end face of the bottle neck of the container, so that there is not only a precisely defined axial fixing of the sleeve in the container, but also one at the same time Liquid seal results.
  • the annular circumferential end face of the bottle neck can be designed or provided with a sealing bead.
  • a complete emptying of the container according to the invention is possible if the inner end of the sleeve only extends into the vicinity of the bottom of the container.

Such a complete emptying of the container according to the invention is also possible if the inner end of the sleeve lies against the bottom of the container, the inner end being formed with at least one recess in order to separate between the inside of the sleeve and the conveying element arranged therein and the inside of the To create a fluidic connection.
  • the / each recess is provided such that an end portion of the recess projecting above the liquid level between the inside of the container above the liquid level and the inside of the sleeve there is a fluidic connection for ventilation purposes.
  • the conveying element is primarily used to refill a writing instrument to be refilled, but at the same time the conveying element also serves as a spout which prevents an unwanted outflow of liquid in the container when the refill container is open.
  • a precisely defined filling of a device of the type mentioned is achieved if the conveying element has a capillarity that is slightly less than the capillarity of the memory of the device to be filled.
  • Such a design reliably prevents undesired overfilling of a corresponding writing instrument in a simple manner.
  • the defined stop of the device limiting the insertion movement of the device to be refilled and the associated counterstop on the container result in precisely defined conditions with respect to the insertion movement of a device to be refilled into the refill container, by means of which - as has already been mentioned above - damage to the rear end section of the memory is prevented. At the same time this ensures that the storage comes to rest on the capillary conveying element of the refill container in a precisely defined manner, which also prevents damage to the conveying element and, in addition, refill liquid in the container is transported through the conveying element to the capillary memory of the device to be refilled.
  • the stop and the counterstop can seal the system from the refill container and the device against the environment when the device is in the refill state.
  • Such a hermetic seal between the device to be refilled or its housing and the refill container enables optimal refilling of the device in a time-saving manner.
