"Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-148990"

ところで前述したクリップ付筆記具は、図４に示すように筆記具１０の軸筒２０に装着したクリップ３０の表面が、軸筒２０の側面に対して前方から後方へ向かって軸筒から離間する方向へ緩やかに傾斜する全体的に平たいものとなっている。このクリップ３０を例えば胸ポケットに挟持させた状態から取り外す際には、クリップ３０の後方部４０を摘んでコイルスプリング５０を圧縮して外すこととなるが、クリップ３０を支承している支持部６０の真上（Ａ地点）や、支時部６０から前方となる前方部７０を摘んでしまう場合があり、クリップ３０が開くための回転動作が行えずに取り外しにくいことが間々あった。同じ理由でクリップ３０で被挟持物を挟む際にも開きにくいことがある。 By the way, in the writing instrument with a clip described above, as shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the clip 30 attached to the shaft cylinder 20 of the writing instrument 10 is away from the shaft cylinder from the front to the rear with respect to the side surface of the shaft cylinder 20. It is a flat surface that gently slopes. When removing the clip 30 from, for example, a state in which it is held in a breast pocket, the rear portion 40 of the clip 30 is picked and the coil spring 50 is compressed and removed. However, the support portion 60 that supports the clip 30 is used. In some cases, the front portion 70 that is forward from the support portion 60 or the support portion 60 may be picked, and it is difficult to remove the clip 30 because the rotation operation for opening the clip 30 cannot be performed. For the same reason, it may be difficult to open the object to be clamped by the clip 30.

本発明はこうした問題を鑑みて、被挟持物を挟む場合や被挟持物から外す際に、クリップを摘んで開きやすい構造のクリップ付筆記具を提供することを目的とする。 In view of such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a clip-equipped writing instrument having a structure in which a clip is easily picked and opened when the object is sandwiched or removed from the object.

本発明は、
「１．筆記具を構成する筒体の側面に設けた支持部にクリップを支承し、弾発部材により前記クリップの先端部を前記筒体の側面側へ常時弾発させる構造のクリップ付筆記具において、前記クリップが、先端から支持部までの前方部と当該支持部より後方の後方部とからなり、前記クリップの後方部である後部外表面を前記筒体の軸心に沿った方向に略並行する平地とし、且つ前記クリップの前方部である前部外表面を前記後部外表面の前端に位置する屈曲部から前記筒体の側面に近づく方向へ傾斜させた傾斜面としたことを特徴とするクリップ付筆記具。
２．前記クリップの屈曲部の曲げ角度が５度以上２０度以下であることを特徴とする１項に記載のクリップ付筆記具。」
である。 The present invention
"1. In a writing instrument with a clip having a structure in which a clip is supported on a support portion provided on a side surface of a cylindrical body constituting a writing instrument, and a tip of the clip is constantly bulleted by a resilient member toward a side surface of the cylindrical body. The clip includes a front part from a tip to a support part and a rear part behind the support part, and a rear outer surface which is a rear part of the clip is substantially parallel to a direction along the axial center of the cylindrical body. A clip having a flat surface and a front outer surface, which is a front portion of the clip, is inclined from a bent portion positioned at a front end of the rear outer surface toward a side surface of the cylindrical body. Writing instrument.
2. 2. The writing instrument with a clip according to claim 1, wherein a bending angle of the bent portion of the clip is 5 degrees or more and 20 degrees or less. "
It is.

クリップは当該クリップの支持部の真上を含む前部外表面を傾斜させ、反対に支持部より後方となる後部外表面を筒体の軸心に沿った方向に対して略並行である平地とすることにより、使用者がクリップを開くための箇所を容易に把握できるようにさせる。また、クリップの前部外表面と後部外表面とが連接する位置となる屈曲部の曲げ角度、つまり軸線に沿った方向に略平行な後部外表面に対する前部外表面の傾斜角度が小さすぎると、使用者がクリップ表面の変化に気が付きにくく、また傾斜角度が大きすぎると結果的にクリップの後方部が当該クリップを取り付けてある筒体の側面に対して離れすぎてしまうので、屈曲部の傾斜角度は５度から２０度の間で設定することが好ましい。 The clip inclines the front outer surface including directly above the support portion of the clip, and conversely, the rear outer surface behind the support portion is substantially parallel to the direction along the axis of the cylindrical body. By doing so, the user can easily grasp the location for opening the clip. Also, if the bending angle of the bent portion where the front outer surface and the rear outer surface of the clip are connected, that is, the inclination angle of the front outer surface with respect to the rear outer surface substantially parallel to the direction along the axis is too small The user is unaware of changes in the clip surface, and if the inclination angle is too large, the rear part of the clip will be too far away from the side of the cylinder to which the clip is attached. The angle is preferably set between 5 degrees and 20 degrees.

本発明によるクリップ付筆記具は、クリップが被挟持物を挟持する前方部の前端外表面と、クリップを摘んで開く後方部の後部外表面とが屈曲部を介して明確に区分けされていることから、使用者がクリップを摘む際に指先の触感で後部外表面を認識してクリップを容易に開くことができるものとなる。さらに屈曲部の角度を５度から２０度の間で設定することにより、使用者の触覚が明確に違いを判断して摘む箇所の把握ができると共に、クリップが筒体に対して離れすぎることがないものとなる。 In the writing instrument with a clip according to the present invention, the front end outer surface of the front part where the clip holds the object to be clamped and the rear outer surface of the rear part opened by picking the clip are clearly separated through the bent part. When the user picks up the clip, the outer surface of the rear part is recognized by the touch of the fingertip, and the clip can be easily opened. Further, by setting the angle of the bent portion between 5 degrees and 20 degrees, the user's tactile sense can clearly grasp the difference and grasp the portion to be picked, and the clip may be too far away from the cylinder. It will not be.
