Definitions
- the present invention relates to writing instruments such as ink pens, and in particular to writing instruments comprising:
- a body extending between a rear end and a front end which has an opening, the body defining an internal volume
- a writing member mounted in the body and comprising a tip which protrudes at the front of the body;
- a protective element comprising a guide portion sliding along the body and a protective end which extends the guide portion and has a through hole for the tip, the protective element being movable between a tip protection position ( position in which the protective end extends to the front of the body so as to completely cover the tip) and a retracted position for writing (position in which the tip protrudes from the front of the protective member crossing the through hole);
- a retracted position locking system which comprises an abutment formed on the body, a locking member adapted to engage the abutment to maintain the retracted position, and an unlocking portion for disengaging the locking member , the protective element comprising the locking member.
- a writing instrument of the above kind avoids the use of a separable cap that can be lost, while providing a function of protection of the writing tip.
- document FR 2 103 492 discloses a writing instrument which has a protective element with a substantially conical front end and whose retracted position which allows writing is maintained by the introduction of a locking protrusion. in a cell or a stop groove formed on the outer face of the tubular body.
- This type of protective element has an elastic clip provided with a ridged zone to allow the user to push back the protective element and thus engage the retracted position allowing the writing, by engagement of the organ of locking.
- the elasticity of the clip allows lifting and then pushing the protective element forward to obtain a return to the protective position.
- This type of actuation requires a certain agility to obtain the two positions and is not particularly suitable for young children for example.
- the thinning required to obtain a flexibility of the unlocking portion increases the risk of breakage of the staple.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a writing instrument with a retractable protective element which can be easily actuated and which remains simple in design.
- the writing instrument according to the invention comprises:
- a radially flexible elastic tongue that can be pressed radially inwards (typically towards the central axis), in response to an action, preferably a support, on the unlocking portion, knowing that for an unlocking of the retracted position, the locking member disengages from the stop by a radial displacement inwards.
- the guiding portion of the protective element which extends longitudinally along a central axis, is inserted into the internal volume of the body.
- the elastic return element is preferably in connection with the guide portion for biasing the protective element towards the protective position.
- the protective position can be obtained with a minimum of effort, without the need to exert a forward thrust, the elastic return element to obtain the sliding forward of the element protective.
- the elastic return element to obtain the sliding forward of the element protective.
- the guide portion comprises the elastic tongue, the locking member being formed on the elastic tongue.
- the guide portion comprises a longitudinal slot which extends between a rear edge and a front edge, the elastic tongue extending from the rear edge to a free edge before the tongue radially diverging towards the outside relative to the central axis of the guide portion.
- the locking member is remote from the rear edge being closer to the front edge. This arrangement simplifies the design of the locking system, the locking member being biased radially outwardly towards a position of engagement with the body.
- the body has an access window to the unlocking portion, the unlocking portion being formed on the resilient tongue and comprising a lug which passes through the access window by preventing a rotation of the guide portion by relation to the body.
- the unlocking portion has a front face which engages with the stop in the protective position, under the effect of the force exerted by the elastic return member.
- unlocking can be obtained by radially disengaging the front face of the abutment of the body, which can be achieved by a simple radial support towards the inside, the action of the spring doing the rest. This allows the user, at the end of a write operation, to obtain the retracted position in minimum time and effort.
- the unlocking portion has a free actuating edge, which protrudes radially outwardly relative to the body, to exert on said elastic tongue a radially inward pressure, the locking member disengaging of the abutment by an inward radial displacement actuated via the unlocking portion.
- the action of the user can simply be to pass a finger, typically the thumb or forefinger, on the access window by depressing the actuating edge.
- the unlocking portion may not be protruding but still accessible indirectly. In this case, it is possible to move the unlocking portion by means of a user's fingernail or a flexible actuating tab arranged on the tubular body (at the level of the access window) and which can come to bear on the unlocking portion.
- the protective element comprises an annular shoulder which defines a rear face of the protective end, the protective end having an external surface which has at least one concavity to allow rearward thrust of the protective end. protective element until a support of the annular shoulder against the front end of the body. This arrangement minimizes the amount of material for the protective element, while allowing the user to effectively bring back the protective element.
- the locking member and the unlocking portion are across the access window when the annular shoulder bears against the front end of the body.
- the body may have a single slot that combines the functions of anti-rotation and stop guidance (on the front edge of the slot).
- the writing member is fixedly mounted in translation in the body.
- the writing tip always protrudes in the same way in the retracted position of the protective element.
- the number of parts is reduced with respect to the embodiments with sliding of the writing member.
- the elastic return element is a spring, preferably a helical spring, comprising a rear end in fixed support on a support face which is fixed in translation in the body, and a front end bearing, directly or indirectly, against the protective element;
- the body has two adjacent slots arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction and separated by a wall element forming said abutment of the locking system, one of the two slots of the body located further back forming said window; access, the unlocking portion moving in the access window between a position remote from the stop and a position of engagement with the stop;
- the opening of the body is axial, the other of the two slots (called front slot because located further forward) extends longitudinally to the front end of the body which defines said opening, the locking member penetrating into the front slot when the unlocking portion is in the engagement position with the stop;
- the protective element is made in one piece.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a writing instrument according to the invention, with the protective element in the retracted position;
- FIG. 2 shows the protective element of the writing instrument of FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of part of the writing instrument of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a side view of the writing instrument of FIG. 1, illustrating the protective position of the protective element
- FIG. 5 shows a detail in perspective of the elastic tongue of the writing instrument of FIG. 1;
- the writing instrument 1 makes it possible to write by any writing, erasing or highlighting medium, hereinafter referred to as ink by means of a writing tip 2.
- the writing instrument 1 comprises a body 2 preferably tubular to form a drum.
- This body 2 extends longitudinally between a rear end 2a and a front end 2b which has an opening 2c which is here axial.
- the writing instrument is devoid of cap and has a protective element 3 movable at the front of the body 2.
- the writing member 4 housed inside the body 2 may have a generally cylindrical shape in a known manner, for example forming a cartridge ( possibly replaceable by removing the rear end 2a of the body 2).
- the writing member 4 is mounted fixed in translation in the body 2, resting at a rear end 4a on a bottom 2d located here on the side of the rear end 2a of the body 2.
- the bottom 2d may have a support with a base transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body 2 and teeth and / or at least one wall which extend from the base to allow a centering of the writing member in the internal volume V of the body 1.
- the front end 4b of the writing member 4 has a tip 4c situated outside the internal volume V and protruding at the front of the body 2 as can be seen in FIG.
- the protective element 3 comprises a guide portion 5, here of generally tubular shape, which slides along the body 2, in the internal volume V.
- the guide portion 5 is extended forwards by a protective end 6 which has a passage hole 6a for the tip 4c. This passage hole 6a is axial.
- the protective element 3 forms a tapered front end of the writing instrument 1, the protective end 6 in particular being of conical shape or the like.
- the guide portion 5 and the protective end extend around the same longitudinal axis X, the guide portion 5 preferably having a generally cylindrical shape.
- the longitudinal axis X is a central axis for the protective element 3.
- FIG. 1 it can be seen that the protective element 3 is mounted in the body 2 through the opening 2c formed at the front end 2b of the body 2, so that the guiding portion 5 of the element 3 is inserted into the internal volume V of the body 2.
- the writing member 4 passes entirely through the protective element 3, the instrument writing 1 then being in a configuration allowing writing.
- the protective element 3 extends longitudinally along the longitudinal axis X, which typically coincides with the central axis of the body 2 (FIG. 1).
- the guiding portion 5 of the protective element 3 here comprises a locking member 7, intended to hold the retracted position, and an unlocking portion 8.
- the locking member 7 and the portion release 8 protrude radially outwardly with respect to the generally tubular shape of the guide portion 5. They also have a radial mobility through a connection with a resilient tongue 9 radially flexible and which can be pressed radially towards the inside (in the direction of the X axis).
- the elastic tongue 9 is integrally formed with the guide portion 5 and the locking member 7 is formed on the elastic tongue 9.
- the guide portion 5 may comprise a longitudinal slot 10 which extends between a rear edge 10a and a front edge 10b, the elastic tongue 9 extending forwardly from the rear edge 10a radially outwardly diverging, in a progressive manner, with respect to the the longitudinal axis X of the guide portion 5.
- the elastic tongue 9 is flexible from a bending zone adjacent to the rear edge 10a, so as to be able to move radially in response to an inward bearing force.
- the bending zone may have a thickness of the same order of magnitude as the thickness of the body 2.
- a plastic material of known type can be used to produce the elastic tongue 9.
- the locking member 7 is located on the side of the free edge before 9a of the elastic tongue 9, so that the clearance 1 1 ( Figure 5) of the locking member 7 in the radial direction is sufficient for the latter to come in engagement with the wall of the body 2 as will be described below.
- the locking member 7 can move for example by a radial distance greater than 0.7 mm.
- the body 2 has an access window 2f to access the unlocking portion 8, which is here formed on the elastic tongue
- the access window 2f may be oblong or rectangular, preferably with a width less than or equal to 5mm, for example of the order of 2 or 3mm.
- the unlocking portion 8 does not protrude more than 2 or 3 mm outward for example in a preferred embodiment. In this way, the gripping zone is too small to be able to twist the unlocking portion 8.
- the clearance between the actuating portion and the lateral edges of the window can be reduced to less than 1 mm for example.
- the shape of the locking member 7 may vary.
- the locking member 7 has at the rear a convex surface 7a as illustrated in particular in FIG. 5, while at the front the surface is straight or concave in the manner of a hook, at least in the zone Z of contact with the abutment 12.
- the zone Z of contact with the abutment 12 extends from the free edge before 9a and decomposes into a first surface S1 of contact with the inner face of the body 2 (i.e. below the wall member forming the abutment 12) and a second surface S2 extending transversely of the first surface S1.
- the unlocking portion 8 comprises a lug which passes through the access window 2f by preventing a rotation of the guide portion 5 relative to the body 2.
- the access window 2f can be made on a projection P forming a relief projecting slightly outwardly with respect to the remainder of the wall of the body 2, here cylindrical.
- other shapes for the section of the body 2, for example oval, could be used to further space the slot 2f relative to the longitudinal axis X of the protective member 3.
- the unlocking portion 8 is arranged behind the locking member 7.
- the stop 12 can also be used to block the advance of the protective element 3 in the protective position illustrated in FIG. pin of the unlocking portion 8 engaging with this stop 12.
- we obtain a particularly simple locking system in which a rapid disengagement of the stop 12 is allowed by a flexion of the elastic tongue 9.
- the tip 4c is not protruding and is effectively covered by the protective element 3 in being protected in the event of a frontal impact.
- this example illustrates a generally cylindrical shape of the body 2 and a circular shape of the annular shoulder 16, other shapes can of course be used, for example and in a nonlimiting manner with a flattened face of the body or the use an oval section.
- the body 2 has a slot before 2g adjacent to the access window 2f with an arrangement one behind the other in the longitudinal direction.
- the front slot 2g is separated from the access window 2f by the wall element forming the abutment 12 of the locking system.
- the slot before 2g here extends longitudinally to the front end 2b of the body 2 which defines the opening 2c.
- the writing instrument 1 comprises an elastic return element 15 in connection with the guide portion 5, for example positioned around the body writing 4 and supported at its rear end 15a on a support face defined by a shoulder 4e of the writing member 4.
- the rear support could be made another support face which is fixed in translation in the body 2.
- the elastic return element 15, for example in the form of one or more helical springs, thus solicits the protective element 3 towards the protective position, bearing its front end 15b on an internal shoulder of the protective end 6.
- a single coil spring is arranged to urge the protective element 3.
- the length of the spring may be greater than the length L of the protective end 3, the force of pushing the spring into the protective position is preferably significantly lower than the thrust force in the retracted position.
- any elastic return means can be used with a bearing force, directly or indirectly, against the protective element 3.
- the unlocking portion 8 has a front face 8a, here present on the lug, which engages with the stop 12 in the protective position, under the effect of the force exerted by the elastic return element 15.
- the sliding towards the front of the guiding portion 5 reveals a portion 5b of connection with the protective end 6.
- an annular shoulder 16 which defines a rear face of this protective end 6. It can be seen in Figure 4 that the distance D between the annular shoulder 16 and the front end 2b of the body is slightly greater than the distance d, measured along the longitudinal axis of the body 2, which separates the access window 2f from the front slot 2g. This distance D is substantially equal to the axial spacing between the locking member 7 and the unlocking portion 8.
- the protective element 3 is movable between the protective position of the tip 4c and the retracted position allowing writing, preferably by axial sliding of the guiding portion 5.
- the axial spacing between the locking member 7 and the unlocking portion 8 is such that the locking member 7 enters the front slot 2g (in a position adjacent to the wall element which separates the slot 2g from the access window 2f,), while the unlocking portion extends through the access window 2f by being engaged with the stopper 12.
- the elastic tongue 9 is bent radially inwards, so that the locking member 7 can move under the wall element of the body 2 which defines the abutment 12.
- Obtaining the retracted position is achieved by simply sliding the protective end 6 rearwards, which corresponds to a displacement of a distance D.
- the user must simply push the protective element 3 back against the body 2, until the annular shoulder 16 bears against the front end 2b of the body 2 (sliding end of travel).
- the locking member 7 passes under the wall of the body 2 by bending the elastic tongue 9 and then back through the access window 2f.
- the bearing against the wall of the body 2 of the convex surface 7a located at the rear of the locking member 7 generates a radial displacement of the flexible tongue 9 towards the central axis X, in the manner of a cam.
- the unlocking portion 8 projects radially outwards with respect to the wall of the body 2 and can move in the access window 2f between a position remote from the stop 12 (for the retracted position) and an engagement position with the stop 12 (for the protection position).
- the unlocking portion 8 has a free actuating edge, which protrudes radially outwardly relative to the body 2 and defines a suitable surface for exerting the radial thrust as illustrated by the arrow A in FIGS. and 2, so that the elastic tongue 9 is pressed radially inwards.
- the unlocking portion 8 thus disengages the locking member 7 of the stop 12 by means of this simple radial thrust towards the central axis X (arrow A). It is understood that the unlocking portion 8 actuates the radial displacement towards the inside of the locking member 7 to allow disengagement, whereby the spring or similar elastic return element 15 is released and causes the sliding of the locking member 7 forwards, passing under the stop 12.
- the protective element 3 is here formed of a single piece of injected plastic material. It can thus be seen in the embodiment of FIG. 1 that the writing instrument 1 may comprise only two external parts: the tubular body 2 and the protective element 3.
- unlocking can be done in a slightly different manner in a second embodiment, the type of displacement of the protective element 3 and the locking of the retracted position remaining otherwise similar.
- the tubular body 2 has a flexible tab 18 which covers a portion of the elastic tongue 9 and whose actuation is by radial pressure towards the central axis X, as illustrated by the arrow A '.
- the protuberance 8 ' has a front end, for example in the form a hook, which is adapted to engage with the stop 12.
- the sliding of the guide portion 5 is of course completely similar to what has been described in connection with Figures 1 to 4.
- the access window 2f could be replaced by a flexible covering portion, which forms for example a flexible membrane, made in the body 2 facing the elastic tongue 9.
- the flexible covering portion can then be deformed radially towards inside and serve as a push button to actuate the unlocking of the retracted position.
- the locking member 7 is simply engaged with a rigid portion of the body 2 adjacent to the flexible covering portion.
- the flexion of the elastic tongue 9 is obtained in this case in a manner completely similar to that described for the first embodiment and for the second embodiment.
- the stop 12 may have two surface areas, one next to the other, one of which is intended for engagement with the protrusion 8 'and the other is intended for engagement with the locking member 7.
- the corresponding engagement surfaces of the protuberance 8 'and the locking member 7 can be laterally offset relative to each other.
- the end of the forward sliding stroke can be obtained without using the elastic tongue 9 (that is to say without engagement against the body 2 of an unlocking portion 8 or protuberance
- the guide portion 5 may have reliefs stopping the forward sliding of the protective element 3 by relying on an internal shoulder formed at the front end 2b of the body 2.
- the outer surface of the protective end 6 may for example have one or two concavities 21, 22 to improve an efficient two-finger grip (typically thumb and index), without slippage.
- This arrangement makes it possible to improve the grip without increasing the radial dimensions of the protective end 6 (a front end of the writing instrument 1 which is too wide is considered disadvantageous for the writing comfort).
- a first concavity can be provided.
- the locking system (including the slot 2f, the stop 12 and the elastic tongue 9) can be shifted radially on the body 2, so that a natural movement of the fingers, the thumb in particular, make a wall portion remote from the slot 2f.
- the concavities 21, 22 are oriented in two opposite directions and the locking system is closer to the first concavity 21.
- the guide portion 5 of the protective element 3 may have a length L1 slightly greater than the length L of the protective end 6, which here has a conical shape.
- This length L1 can satisfy the following relation:
- the quantity of material is minimized for producing the protective element 3 and the locking system is advantageously located near the protective end 6 (thus close to the gripping area of the writing instrument 1 used when writing).
- One of the advantages of the invention lies in the ergonomics of the writing instrument, a user can obtain the protection position of the tip 4c without effort, typically by moving the thumb a very small lateral distance to press the unlocking portion 8 projecting through the access window 2f. It is also understood that the locking system is here compact, the overall shape of the front part of the writing instrument 1 tubular can remain thin.
