Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a so-called fibre-tip pen, that is a writing instrument wherein the ink reservoir and the nib consist of fibrous elements.
  • the commercially available pens of such kind comprise, beside the nib and the reservoir, at least three elements made of plastics, namely a body, a closing bottom and a cap (if the nib is directly inserted into the body), or a body closed at one end, a nib-holder and a cap.
  • FR 1344073 discloses a writing instrument having a cylindrical ink reservoir made in a single piece which is open and tapered at one end for inserting a nib of small diameter.
  • US 2620499 discloses a marking device of the type which can be refilled through insertion in a base reservoir where it can be accommodated upside down.
  • the marker has a cylindrical barrel closed at one end having the other end open and tapered outwardly to accommodate a nib of large dimension.
  • EP 0726166 discloses a writing article having a cylindrical ink reservoir made in a single piece which is open and tapered at one end for defining a small passage for the tip of the nib.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a pen with a very simple structure, comprising a number of pieces of plastics reduced to a minimum.
  • a pen that comprises, besides the nib and the reservoir, only two elements of plastics, namely a body closed at one end and a cap.
  • the fibre-tip pen comprises a body 1 of plastic material, consisting of a tubular element 1a closed at one end by a base 1b which is integral with tubular element 1a.
  • Body 1 houses inside it a reservoir 3, consisting of a fibrous tubular element impregnated with ink, and has, at its end opposite to base 1b, an opening arranged to receive a portion 4a of a nib 4, which portion is opposite to tip 4b.
  • a reservoir 3 consisting of a fibrous tubular element impregnated with ink, and has, at its end opposite to base 1b, an opening arranged to receive a portion 4a of a nib 4, which portion is opposite to tip 4b.
  • nib 4 made of a fibrous material, is directly inserted into pen body 1.
  • the nib comprises a first portion 4a, with such a diameter as to be fitted under pressure into body 1, and a second portion 4b, generally sharpened or rounded, which remains outside body 1 and which will therefore be used for writing.
  • the inner nib portion 4a is in contact with fibrous element 3 impregnated with ink, as shown in the drawing, so as to transfer the ink from reservoir 3 to nib tip 4b.
  • the diameter of the outer nib portion 4b may be the same as that of inner portion 4a, for simplicity of manufacture, or greater, the latter solution being shown in the drawing.
  • the diameter of inner portion 4a decreases, because of the pressure exerted by the internal walls of body 1.
  • a cap 5 made of plastics is then applied on the end portion of body 1 and on nib 4, which cap is arranged to protect the nib and to prevent the ink in the reservoir from becoming dry.
  • body 1 and cap 5 are the only “non-inked” elements, made of plastics in this embodiment, necessary for the pen manufacture.
  • plastics like the nib-holder and/or the body-closing bottom, present in all commercially available pens, so that the production costs are reduced and the pen assembling operations are simpler.

Schreibgerät in der Ausführung mit einem Gehäuse (1), das im Inneren einen aus Faserstoff hergestellten Tintenspeicher (3) aufnimmt, einer Schreibspitze (4), die mit dem Speicher (3) zusammenwirkt und einer abnehmbaren Plastikkappe (5), die auf jenes Gehäuse aufgebracht werden kann, um jene Schreibspitze (4) zu schützen, wobei das Gehäuse (4) einstückig aus Plastik hergestellt ist und ein Rohrelement (1a) aufweist, das am einen Ende durch einen mit dem Rohrelement integrierten Boden (1 b) geschlossen ist und am entgegengesetzten Ende eine Öffnung für eine Schreibspitze (4) hat, wobei die Schreibspitze (4) einen ersten rohrförmigen Bereich (4a) mit einem Durchmesser aufweist, der durch Einpressen in jenes offene Ende des zylindrischen Gehäuses (1) eingefügt werden kann, sowie einen zweiten, angespitzten Bereich (4b), der außerhalb des Gehäuses (1) verbleibt und zum Schreiben benutzt wird,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß jenes rohrförmige Element (1a) an seinem offenen Ende im wesentlichen konstante Innen- und Außendurchmesser hat und dass der äußere Bereich (4b) der Schreibspitze (4) einen zwischen dem Innen- und Außendurchmesser des rohrförmigen Elements (1a) liegenden maximalen Durchmesser aufweist, wobei der äußere Bereich entsprechend seinem maximalen Durchmesser einen in der Ausdehnung im wesentlichen gleichen Querschnitt wie das rohrförmige Gehäuse (1) besitzt und die Kappe (5) direkt auf das rohrförmige Gehäuse (1) aufgesetzt werden kann, um ohne Beeinträchtigung der Schreibspitze (1) diese zu schützen.
