Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid an ink leakage trouble and, at the same time, suppress the production cost of a writing utensil through a simple structure. SOLUTION: In this writing utensil, an ink absorber 4 made of porous material is arranged between a penpoint 2 and an ink tank 3. In the ink absorber 4, an ink retaining part 5 (a taperingly compressed part), in which the capillary force becomes gradually stronger from the front part of the ink absorber to its rear part, is provided. At the rear end of the ink retaining part 5, a liquid densified part 6 (a straightly compressed part), the capillary force of which is stronger than that in the ink retaining part 5, is provided.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a writing instrument of this kind, for example,
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-33739 discloses that a writing body is fixed to the tip of a barrel, and an ink occluding body having a capillary action, which comes into contact with the rear part of the barrel, communicates with the outside air between the inside of the barrel. The ink storage body is mounted in the shaft cylinder so that a ventilation path can be provided, and a compression member is attached to the rear end of the ink storage body to form a tight gap in the ink storage body at the mounting portion.

However, in the above-mentioned writing instrument (see FIG. 6), the capillary gap at the rear end of the ink occlusion body B is dense due to compression, but most of the other parts are straight, and the capillary is small. The gap width (ie, capillary force) of the gap is substantially uniform. Therefore, when the pen tip is stored in a downward state, most of the retained ink A in the ink storage B tends to concentrate below the ink storage B (that is, in front of the ink storage B). As a result, at the time of impact such as dropping or removing the cap, the ink may leak to the outside.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional writing instrument, since the ink A tends to concentrate on the front portion of the ink storage body B, when the pressure in the ink tank C is reduced due to a temperature change or the like, the ink A on the front side of the ink storage body B is discharged. It is not easy to return to the ink tank C, and it is easy for air to enter the ink tank C while the ink A remains at the front of the ink storage body B. As a result, when the expansion and contraction of the air in the ink tank C is repeated, the residual ink A in the front part of the ink occluding body B gradually increases, and finally there is a possibility that the ink may leak from the pen tip side. .

In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional writing implement, most of the stored ink A is distributed to the front of the ink occluding body B, and air tends to enter the rear of the ink occluding body B. A ventilation path D that communicates with the outside air is required between the shaft cylinder inner surface. If the air passage D is not present, if the air behind the ink occluding body B expands due to a temperature rise or the like, the ink may be pushed out. Therefore, in the conventional writing implement, the air passage D is provided so as to prevent air from being trapped in the rear portion of the ink occluding body B so as to avoid ink leakage. However, in order to form the air passage D between the inner surface of the barrel and the outer surface of the ink occluding body B, not only is the production time and the production cost increased, but also the member such as the barrel is made of a synthetic resin molded body. In the case of forming, if grooves or ribs for the ventilation path are formed on the inner surface, sinks may occur on the outer surface, which may cause poor appearance and poor airtightness when the cap is attached.

Therefore, when stored in a state where the pen tip is facing downward, the porous body B for ink adjustment
When the ink A is concentrated on the front part, the ink may leak to the outside at the time of impact such as dropping or at the time of removing the cap.

It is required that an ink retaining section 5 is provided in which the capillary force gradually increases from the front to the rear (claim 1).

The direct liquid writing implement 1 (Claim 1) is provided with an internal pressure of the ink tank 3 in a pen point downward state by an ink holding section 5 in which a capillary force is gradually strengthened from a front part to a rear part of the ink storage body 4. Even if the ink rises, the ink from the ink tank 3 is prevented from being concentrated on the front part of the ink occluding body 4, and as a result, the ink splatters or leaks to the outside at the time of an impact such as dropping or removing the cap. Can be avoided.

The capillary force T and the pen tip water head pressure G In the direct liquid writing instrument 1 of the first aspect, the capillary force T at an arbitrary position in the ink holding section 5 in a state where the pen tip is directed downward is defined as: The head pressure G at the height H from the pen tip 2 to the arbitrary position is made larger than the head pressure G, and the difference between the capillary force T and the head pressure G is calculated from the front end of the ink reservoir 5 to the rear of the ink reservoir 5. It is preferable that the width is gradually increased toward the end (claim 2). (See Fig. 2)

Accordingly, the direct liquid writing implement 1 (claim 2) transfers the overflowing ink in the ink tank 3 when the internal pressure rises from the rear of the ink storage body 4 (ie, the ink storing section 5) to the front. The ink can be distributed over the ink occluding body 4 in the conventional manner, and the air does not enter the rear of the ink occluding body 4 as in the related art.

Therefore, when the pressure inside the ink tank 3 is reduced due to a temperature change or the like, the ink in the ink occluding body 4 (ie, the ink storing section 5) is arranged in order from the front when the direct liquid type writing instrument 1 (Claim 2) is used. It returns smoothly to the ink tank 3 without interruption. As a result, air does not enter the ink tank 3 with the ink remaining at the front part of the ink storage body 4. That is, even if the expansion and contraction of air in the ink tank 3 is repeated, the ink does not remain at the front portion of the ink occluding body 4.
It can be further prevented.

Furthermore, the direct liquid writing instrument (Claim 2)
Since air is not trapped in the rear part of the ink occluding body 4, ink leakage can be avoided without intentionally providing a ventilation path as in the related art. For this reason, the writing implement itself has a simple structure, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the writing implement can be provided at low cost. In addition, when the member such as the shaft cylinder 7 is formed of a synthetic resin molded body, there is no risk of causing poor appearance due to sink marks and poor airtightness when the cap is attached.

Contrary to the present invention, when the capillary force T is smaller than the pen tip head pressure G (that is, when T <G), when the pen tip is in the downward state, the ink is absorbed as in the prior art. There is a possibility that the ink may be retained more preferentially in the front part of the ink storage body 4 than in the rear part of the body 4. Further, the capillary force T
The difference (TG) between the head pressure G and the pen tip water head pressure G is gradually reduced from the front of the ink storage body 4 toward the rear of the ink storage body 4. There is a possibility that the ink may be retained more preferentially in the front part of the ink storage body 4 than in the rear part of the body 4.

In the direct liquid writing implement 1 (claim 3), the liquid-tight portion 6 is always liquid-sealed with a holding ink. Due to the liquid seal, when the ink is returned from the ink storage unit 5 to the ink tank 3 when the ink tank 3 is depressurized, air is removed from the ink tank 3 before all the ink in the ink storage body 4 is returned to the ink tank 3. 3 is prevented. Therefore, the ink tank 3
When the pressure is reduced, the ink in the ink storage unit 5 can be returned to the ink tank 3 in preference to the air. That is, since the air is not replaced while the ink remains in the ink storage unit 5, the ink is stored in the ink storage unit 5. Does not remain, and there is no possibility that the ink leaks from the front portion of the ink occluding body 4.
