Definitions

  • This invention relates to caps for writing instruments, such as ball point pens.
  • Caps are made in a wide variety of shapes, often injection moulded of plastics materials. It is unfortunately the case that caps are often swallowed, and in certain cases can lodge in the throat leading to complete blockage of the windpipe and death. This problem is more dangerous when the cap has a clip which is pointed and can pierce the lining of the throat.
  • the invention aims to provide a cap for a writing instrument which if swallowed cannot completely block the throat.
  • a cap for a writing instrument which is in the general form of an elongate casing closed at one end with a clip extending along the complete length of the cap, along its external wall, wherein the clip includes a channel along its entire length, the channel being open at each end.
  • the channel will provide a continuing air passage to prevent choking.
  • a cap has an elongate cylindrical casing 10 with a clip 11 extending the full length.
  • the clip has an enlargement 12 to assist grip at its free end, and is integral with the casing at its closed end 13 where it is joined by a root 14.
  • the casing and clip are injection moulded plastic.
  • a bore 15 extends the full length of the clip and is open at both ends. In the event of the cap being swallowed, even if the whole windpipe is blocked by contraction of its walls around the cap, the bore 15 will still provide a sufficient air passage.
  • the root 14 is narrowed to ensure that air passages 17 exist below the clip, which are additional to the two bores 15 through the clip. The total cross-sectional area of the air passages is thus increased.
  • the clip 11 has a channel 20 open towards the casing which performs a similar function of a protected air passage.
  • the bore(s), passage or channel along the clip may be arranged to emerge sideways at or near the root provided the air passage is maintained. It is preferred that the clip extends the full length of the casing, otherwise there is a danger of the windpipe contracting around the casing alone and thus blocking the air passage(s) provided by the invention.
  • a channel 15 extends longitudinally through the root 14, relying on the space below the clip 11 to form a channel along the remainder of the length.
  • the size of the channel can be increased by providing a groove 30 running through the enlargement 12.
