Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Handschreib- oder -auftraggerät gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a handwriting or application device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einem bekannten Gerät dieser Art (DE-PS 43 13 180) ist die Kammer für Schreibflüssigkeit durch eine Blase aus flexiblem, unelastischem Material gebildet, deren Innenraum einerseits über die Ventileinrichtung mit dem Vorratsraum für freie Schreibflüssigkeit und andererseits über einen Rohrstutzen mit dem hinteren Ende der Schreibspitze verbunden ist. Dieser Aufbau hat u.a. die Vorteile, daß einerseits die Kammer keine Luft enthält, die sich bei rascher Temperaturerhöhung stark ausdehnen und im Bereich der Schreibspitze einen Überdruck erzeugen kann, der zum Tropfen des Gerätes führen würde, und daß andererseits auf der Schreibspitze lediglich der statische Druck der Schreibflüssigkeit in der Kammer lastet. Die im normalerweise deutlich größer ausgebildeten Vorratsraum vorhandene Schreibflüssigkeit wirkt wegen der während des überwiegenden Teils des Gebrauchs sperrenden Ventilanordnung nicht mit ihrem statischen Druck auf die Schreibspitze. Dadurch kann der Vorratsraum großes Schreibflüssigkeitsvolumen enthalten.In a known device of this type (DE-PS 43 13 180) Chamber for writing liquid through a bubble made of flexible, inelastic material formed, the interior of which on the one hand the valve device with the storage space for free writing fluid and on the other hand via a pipe socket with the rear end of the writing tip is connected. This structure has et al the advantages that on the one hand the chamber contains no air, which expand rapidly when the temperature rises rapidly and in Area of the writing tip can generate an overpressure that leads to Drops of the device would lead, and that on the other hand on the Writing tip only the static pressure of the writing fluid in the chamber. It's usually much bigger trained storage space existing writing fluid acts because of the locking during the majority of use Valve arrangement not with its static pressure on the Nib. As a result, the storage space can have a large volume of writing fluid contain.

Das bekannte Handschreib- oder -auftraggerät hat jedoch eine verhältnismäßig große Baulänge, da die die Kammer bildende Blase in axialer Richtung des Gehäuses zwischen Ventileinrichtung und hinterem Ende der Schreibspitze angeordnet sein muß. Darüber hinaus besteht wegen dieser Anordnung die Gefahr, daß die mit Schreibflüssigkeit gefüllte Blase infolge heftiger Bewegungen des Gerätes seitliche Auslenkbewegungen ausführt, so daß es zu einer entsprechenden Verlagerung des Kontaktarmes des Stromkreises für die Ventileinrichtung kommen und dieser Stromkreis geschlossen werden kann. Es erfolgt dann ein kurzzeitiges Öffnen der Ventileinrichtung, obwohl die Kammer im gefüllten Zustand ist, und als Folge davon steht zusätzlich zu dem statischen Druck der Schreibflüssigkeit in der Kammer der gesamte statische Druck der Schreibflüssigkeit im Vorratsraum am hinteren Ende der Schreibspitze an.The known handwriting or application device, however, has one relatively large overall length, since the bladder forming the chamber in the axial direction of the housing between the valve device and must be arranged at the rear end of the writing tip. About that furthermore, because of this arrangement, there is a risk that the with Bladder filled with writing fluid due to violent movements of the Device performs lateral deflection movements, so that it becomes a corresponding shift of the contact arm of the circuit for the valve device come and this circuit is closed can be. Then there is a short opening Valve device, although the chamber is filled, and as a result, in addition to the static pressure Writing fluid in the chamber the total static pressure of the Writing liquid in the storage room at the rear end of the writing tip on.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Handschreib- oder -auftraggerät so auszubilden, daß bei möglichst geringer Baulänge die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Öffnens der Ventileinrichtung verringert ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a handwriting or application device to be designed in such a way that, with the smallest possible overall length, the danger unintentional opening of the valve device is reduced is.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Handschreib- oder -auftraggerät gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß derart ausgestaltet, daß der Innenraum der Blase ausschließlich mit der Umgebungsluft in Verbindung steht. Diese Verbindung zwischen Innenraum der Blase und Umgebungsluft wird vorzugsweise durch einen Kanal gebildet, der aus dem flexiblen Material der Blase besteht.A handwriting or application device is used to solve this task according to the preamble of claim 1 according to the invention designed such that the interior of the bladder only with the Ambient air is connected. This connection between Interior of the bladder and ambient air is preferably through a channel formed from the flexible material of the bladder consists.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Handschreib- oder -auftraggerät wird somit der Innenraum der Kammer für Schreibflüssigkeit nicht, wie bei dem vorbekannten Gerät, durch den Innenraum der Blase aus flexiblem, unelastischem Material gebildet, sondern der Innenraum der vorgesehenen Blase ist mit der Umgebungsluft verbunden und bildet nur einen Teilbereich der Außenwand der Kammer für Schreibflüssigkeit. Auf diese Weise besteht eine größere Freiheit in Ausbildung und Anordnung der Kammer innerhalb des halterschaftförmigen Gehäuses, und die Blase kann beispielsweise seitlich neben dem unteren Abschnitt der Vorratskammer im Gehäuse angeordnet werden, so daß sich die Kammer mit einem Teilbereich seitlich vom vorderen Bereich des Vorratsraums und mit einem anderen Teilbereich im Bereich des hinteren Endes der Schreibspitze befindet. Da darüber hinaus der Innenraum der Blase nicht mehr mit Schreibflüssigkeit gefüllt und somit ihr Gewicht gering ist, ist auch die Gefahr deutlich verringert, daß heftige Bewegungen des Handschreib- oder -auftraggerätes zu einer die Ventileinrichtung betätigenden Verlagerung der Blase führen.In the handwriting or application device according to the invention thus the interior of the chamber for writing fluid is not like in the known device, through the interior of the bladder flexible, inelastic material, but the interior the intended bubble is connected to the ambient air and forms only part of the outer wall of the chamber for Writing fluid. In this way there is greater freedom in the formation and arrangement of the chamber within the holder shaft Housing, and the bubble, for example to the side of the lower section of the pantry in the housing be arranged so that the chamber with a portion to the side of the front of the pantry and with a other section in the area of the rear end of the writing tip located. In addition, the interior of the bladder is not more filled with writing fluid and thus their weight is low is, the risk of violent movements is also significantly reduced the handwriting or application device to a the valve device pushing the bladder.

In einer Ausgestaltung kann ein Wandbereich der Blase auf einen im Inneren der Kammer angeordneten Hebelarm zur Betätigung der Ventileinrichtung wirken. Hierbei kann es sich um einen Arm eines L-förmigen, zweiarmigen Hebels handeln, auf den eine Federkraft in Schließrichtung der Ventileinrichtung wirkt. Die Federkraft regelt den Flüssigkeitsdruck an der Schreibspitze und kann entsprechend dem Kapillarverhalten der Schreibspitze eingestellt werden.In one embodiment, a wall area of the bladder can be placed on one lever arm arranged inside the chamber for actuating the Valve device act. This can be an arm of one L-shaped, two-armed lever act on the spring force acts in the closing direction of the valve device. The spring force regulates the fluid pressure at the nib and can set according to the capillary behavior of the writing tip become.

Das dargestellte Handschreib- oder -auftraggerät hat ein halterschaftförmiges Gehäuse 1, in dessen vorderes Ende eine Baueinheit aus Einsatzelement 3 und Kammerteil 5 eingesetzt und beispielsweise durch Klebung befestigt ist. Das Kammerteil 5 ist im Schnitt etwa L-förmig und bildet zusammen mit dem Einsatzelement 3 den größten Teil der Wandung der Kammer für freie Schreibflüssigkeit, die einen Bereich 6 und einen Bereich 7 aufweist. In das Einsatzelement 3 ist von vorn mittig die Schreibspitze, im vorliegenden Fall ein poröser Schreibdocht 4, eingesetzt, deren hinteres Ende in Verbindung mit dem Bereich 6 der Kammer für freie Schreibflüssigkeit steht. Der Bereich 7 der Kammer erstreckt sich vom Bereich 6 im achsparallel verlaufenden Schenkel des Kammerteils 5 nach hinten.The handwriting or application device shown has a holder-shaped housing 1, in the front end of which Inserted unit from insert 3 and chamber part 5 and is attached, for example by gluing. The chamber part 5 is approximately L-shaped on average and forms together with the insert element 3 most of the wall of the chamber for free Writing fluid that has an area 6 and an area 7 having. In the insert element 3 is the center from the front Writing tip, in the present case a porous writing wick 4, used, the rear end in connection with the area 6 the chamber stands for free writing fluid. Area 7 of Chamber extends from area 6 in the axis-parallel Leg of the chamber part 5 to the rear.

In der dem hinteren Ende der Schreibspitze 4 gegenüberliegenden, die hintere Wand des Bereichs 6 der Kammer bildenden Wand des Kammerteils 5 sitzt ein Rohrstutzen 16, der nach hinten über diese Wand hinausragt. Dieser vorstehende Abschnitt des Rohrstutzens 16 durchstößt, wie in Figur 2 angedeutet, die Wandung eines aus einer Schlauchfolie bestehenden, freie Schreibflüssigkeit enthaltenden Vorratsraum 2. Die Außenseite der Schlauchfolie steht über eine im Gehäuse 1 vorgesehene Belüftungsöffnung in Verbindung mit der Umgebungsluft, ist jedoch im übrigen gegenüber dieser abgedichtet. Es sei erwähnt, daß beispielsweise auch die anderen, in der DE-PS 43 13 180 gezeigten Formen von Vorratsräumen sowie auch ein Vorratsraum geeignet ist, der am hinteren eine die Abdichtung gegen Flüssigkeitsaustritt bildende Labyrinth-Dichtung aufweist.In the opposite end of the writing tip 4, the rear wall of area 6 of the chamber forming wall of the Chamber part 5 is a pipe socket 16, which is to the rear this wall protrudes. This protruding section of the pipe socket 16 penetrates the wall, as indicated in Figure 2 a free writing fluid consisting of a tubular film containing storage space 2. The outside of the tubular film stands in through a ventilation opening provided in the housing Connection with the ambient air, however, is opposite this sealed. It should be mentioned that, for example, the other forms of storage rooms shown in DE-PS 43 13 180 as well as a pantry is suitable, which is at the rear a labyrinth seal forming the seal against liquid leakage having.

Das vordere Ende des Rohrstutzens 16 wird, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, durch eine Ventilplatte 15 dichtend verschlossen, die auf einem Arm 13 eines zweiarmigen Hebels sitzt, der in der Kammer 6, 7 angeordnet und um eine Achse 14 schwenkbar ist. Dieser Hebel wird durch eine Feder 17, die am freien Ende seines anderen Arms 12 angreift, in Richtung auf die Schließstellung der Ventileinrichtung belastet, d.h. die Feder 17 drückt normalerweise die Ventilplatte 15 dichtend gegen das untere Ende des Rohrstutzens 16.The front end of the pipe socket 16 becomes, as in FIG. 3 shown, sealed by a valve plate 15, which sits on an arm 13 of a two-armed lever, which in the Chamber 6, 7 arranged and pivotable about an axis 14. This lever is operated by a spring 17 at the free end of its attacks other arms 12, towards the closed position of the Valve device loaded, i.e. the spring 17 normally presses the valve plate 15 sealing against the lower end of the Pipe socket 16.

In dem Bereich 7 der Kammer 6, 7 für freie Schreibflüssigkeit befindet sich eine Blase 8 aus flexiblem, nicht-elastischem Material, deren Innenraum 9 über einen Kanal 10 und eine Belüftungsöffnung 11 mit der Umgebungsluft in Verbindung steht. Der Kanal 10 wird durch Fortsetzung des Blasenmaterials nach vorn gebildet, und die Außenfläche der Wandung des Kanals 10 ist im vorderen Bereich mit einer Durchgangsöffnung im Einsatzelement 3 verklebt, so daß diese Durchtrittsöffnung einerseits gegenüber der Kammer 6, 7 abgedichtet und andererseits mit der Umgebungsluft verbunden ist.In the area 7 of the chamber 6, 7 for free writing fluid there is a bubble 8 made of flexible, non-elastic Material whose interior 9 via a channel 10 and a Ventilation opening 11 communicates with the ambient air. The channel 10 is forward by continuing the bubble material formed, and the outer surface of the wall of the channel 10 is in front area with a through opening in the insert element 3 glued so that this passage opening on the one hand opposite the chamber 6, 7 sealed and on the other hand with the ambient air connected is.

Wie zu erkennen ist, befindet sich die Blase 8 zwischen der Außenwand des Kammerteils 5 und der Außenseite des Arms 12 des zweiarmigen Hebels, und sie ist im übrigen von der Schreibflüssigkeit in der Kammer 6, 7 umgeben.As can be seen, the bubble 8 is located between the Outer wall of the chamber part 5 and the outside of the arm 12 of the two-armed lever, and for the rest it is of the writing fluid surrounded in chamber 6, 7.

Befindet sich die Kammer 6, 7 in einem ausreichend gefüllten Zustand, so ist der Rohrstutzen 16 dichtend verschlossen und die Blase 8 im wesentlichen "zusammengedrückt". Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 3 dargestellt.The chamber 6, 7 is in a sufficiently filled State, the pipe socket 16 is sealed and the Bladder 8 essentially "compressed". That state is shown in Figure 3.

Nimmt der Flüssigkeitsstand in der Kammer 6, 7 ab, so entsteht in ihr ein Unterdruck, der dadurch ausgeglichen wird, daß sich die Blase 8, deren Innenraum 9 in Verbindung mit der Umgebungsluft steht, ausdehnt. Bei dieser Ausdehnung stützt sie sich an der Außenwand des Kammerteils 5 ab und verformt sich in Richtung auf den Hebelarm 12, der auf diese Weise gegen den Druck der Feder 17 verlagert wird. Die sich dadurch ergebende Verschwenkung des zweiarmigen Hebels im Uhrzeigersinn um die Schwenkachse 14 führt schließlich, wie in Figur 5 dargestellt, zum Öffnen des Rohrstutzens 16, so daß Schreibf lüssigkeit aus dem Vorratsraum 2 in die Kammer 6, 7 nachfließt. Durch den zunehmenden Füllstand in der Kammer wird die Blase 8 zusammengedrückt, und schließlich kehrt der zweiarmige Hebel in die Stellung gemäß Figur 3 zurück, in der die auf seinem Arm 13 befestigte Ventilplatte 15 den Rohrstutzen 16 wieder dichtend verschließt.If the liquid level in the chamber 6, 7 decreases, so arises a negative pressure in it, which is compensated for by the fact that the bubble 8, the interior 9 in connection with the ambient air stands, expands. It supports itself with this expansion the outer wall of the chamber part 5 and deforms in the direction on the lever arm 12, which in this way against the pressure of the Spring 17 is shifted. The resulting pivoting the two-armed lever clockwise around the pivot axis 14 finally, as shown in Figure 5, leads to the opening of the Pipe socket 16, so that writing fluid from the storage space 2nd flows into the chamber 6, 7. Due to the increasing fill level in the chamber the bladder 8 is compressed, and finally the two-armed lever returns to the position according to FIG. 3, in which the valve plate 15 attached to his arm 13 Seals pipe socket 16 again.
