Frank, 88-18 192ml St., Hollis, N.Y. Filed Apr. 24, 1963, Ser. No. 275,405 12 Claims. (Cl. 1Z0- 18) This invention relates to marking devices employing crayons or the like and, particularly in providing a mounting and feed of crayon for the device which will facilitate substantially full consumption of the crayon and dispensing thereof. More particularly, the invention deals with a device of the class described employing means for checking the loading or inward retraction of the crayon and to facilitate use of relatively long crayons in the device.
The novel features of the invention will be best understood from the following description, when taken together with the accompanying drawing, in which certain embodiments of the invention are disclosed and, in which, the separate parts are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views and, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side and longitudinal sectional view of a marking device, with parts of the construction broken away and parts shown in elevation.
FIG. 2 is a partial view, similar to FIG. l, on an enlarged scale, with parts in a different position.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged section on the line 3 3 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial section on the line 4-4 of FIG. l.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged section on the line 5-5 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the crayon feed assemblage detached.
In FIG. 1 of the drawing, I have shown a marking device formed, for the most part, of plastic material and, in said figure, 10 represents the barrel, having a full thread 11 extending the major portion of the length thereof and a partial thread 11 extending to the open end. The open end of the barrel has a closure cap 12. The other open end of the barrel has a short plain bore, with a groove 13 therein to receive a spring key pin 14 engaging a short sleeve portion 15 of a conical tip 16 of a crayon actuating element.
Extending from the sleeve portion 15 are a pair of long guides 17, crescent-shaped in cross-sectional form, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 5. It will, thus, be apparent that 15, 16 and 17 collectively form the said crayon actuating element in projecting and retracting a crayon 18 gripped and supported in jaws 19 of a feed assemblage 20. Considering FIG. 1, it will appear that a new or unused crayon 18 is greater in length than half the length of the barrel 10, or the element formed by sleeve portion 15, conical tip 16 and guides 17 The guides 17 have outer curved surfaces 21 which fit within the threads 11, note FIGS. l, 3 and 5. The guides 17 also have curved inner surfaces 22, in which the split sleeve 23 forming the gripper jaws 19 and the cylinder portion 24 of the assemblage 20 operate, as also indicated in said figures. The assemblage 2t) may be said to comprise the crayon feed member.
The member 20, note FIG. 6, has, at one end of 24, a long rectangular shank 25 with a disc head 26 at its free end. The head is sprung into sleeve 23 through an opening in the split side of sleeve 23 and below lugs 27 at said split side. At the Vother end of 24 are radially extended threaded arms 28, which operate in the elongated slots 29 formed between sides of the guide 17 and extend sufficiently to engage threads 11, 11', as will clearly appear from a consideration of FIGS. 1 and 5. The sleeve 23 has inturned bottom flanges 30, note FIGS. 2 and 4, which lie under the head 26, as seen in FIG. 6 of the drawing.
The tip 16 has a bore 31 terminating in the outer end 3,149,612 Patented Sept. 22., 1964 ice of tip 16 in a discharge bore 32, through which the crayon 18 passes. The reduced bore 32 forms a stop shoulder 33, note FIG. 2, against which the jaws 19 strike in checking outward movement of the sleeve 23. However, the plunger formed by 25 and head 26 can then continue to move outwardly through the sleeve 23 against the tension of a spring 28 mounted on the shank 25 in removing the crayon from grippers 19 and in providing a full feed of the crayon 18, as noted in FIG. 2 and compression of the spring 28 is noted in said figure. A new crayon can be coupled with the jaws 19 and the member 20 retracted by rotation of the barrel 10 in a reverse direction to the normal outward feed of the crayon. By extending the threads at 11', a long crayon can be mounted in the device.
Inward movement of member 20 is checked by the arms 28 striking the inner end 12 of the cap 12. This prevents displacement of the arm from the slots 29 formed by the guides 17.
From the foregoing, it Will be apparent that, by gripping the tip 16 in the fingers of one hand, the barrel 10 can be rotated in outward feed of the crayon 18 or, if desired, the tip 16 can be rotated and the barrel held stationary. It will be understood that the cap 12 can have a right frictional fit on the barrel and be forcibly removed if, at any time, it is deemed desirable to remove the feed member 20 for cleaning or other purposes. Extension of the threads, as at 11', will permit the member to be fed to the open end normally closed by the cap 12 for free removal of the member 20.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A marking device of the character defined comprising an elongated barrel having a longitudinal threaded bore, a crayon actuating element mounted in one end of the bore and having a conical tip projecting at said end of the barrel, said element extending the major portion of the length of the barrel, a crayon feed member keyed to and movable longitudinally of said element and having means operatively engaging the threads of said bore, said member in its entirety operating within said element, said member having means engaging and supporting a crayon thereon in feed of a crayon through a discharge aperture at the outer end of the tip of said element, an unused crayon being greater than half the length of the barrel and said element, the means of said member being tensionally supported on a shank of said member forming the plunger of the member, and means on the tip of said element checking outward movement of the crayon supporting means, while permitting continued feed of the plunger of said member for substantially full projection of the crayon through the discharge aperture of said tip.
