Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pen cap.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional pen caps are mainly provided with one cap attached to one pen tip. There is also a one-piece cap in which a plurality of nibs can be stored in one cap.

[0003]

The former cap is composed of 1 cap.
Since one pen tip is provided with one cap and there is no means for connecting the pens, a storage case or a bag is required so that the pens are not separated when there are a plurality of pens. For this reason, there is a disadvantage that the pen must be taken out of the storage case when used, which is troublesome. Further, when using different pens in various ways, it is troublesome to close the cap once and return to the case, so that there is a problem that the pen is easily broken apart without returning the pen at the time of use. In addition, the latter cap is a one-piece cap for solving the above-mentioned drawbacks, and can store a plurality of pens, so that a storage case or a bag is not required. Hard to be. However, since the pens are arranged in parallel, there is a drawback that the middle one is harder to take when there are three or more pens. There is also a problem that no improvement has been made in the design. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pen cap which can hold a plurality of pens, is easy to take a pen at any position, and is excellent in design in order to solve the conventional drawbacks.

[0004]

In order to solve the conventional drawback, a plurality of pen tip accommodating portions 2 are radially arranged from a virtual center 3 to be integrated into one, and the cap 1 is positioned on the virtual center 3 side. The main feature of the present invention is that it is an integrated pen cap whose main feature is to hold a plurality of pen bodies 99 in a radial arrangement.

A plurality of pen tip receiving portions 2 are arranged radially from the virtual center 3 so that they can be separated and connected by attaching / detaching means. The cap 1 is located on the virtual center 3 side, and a plurality of pen bodies 99 are radially arranged. It is also a detachable pen cap that is characterized by being held.

A plurality of pen tip receiving portions 2 are radially arranged in the tangential direction of the virtual center circle 4 to be integrated or detachable by attaching / detaching means. The pen cap is characterized in that the pen bodies 99 are radially arranged and held.

The attaching / detaching means is a pen-type cap which can be separated and connected by a cap connecting projection 5 and a cap connecting recess 6.

The attachment / detachment means is a pen-type cap which uses the substrate 8 and can be separated and coupled by the projection 9 for coupling the substrate side cap and the concave portion 7 for coupling the cap side substrate.

[0009]

The operation of the invention having the above configuration will be described. The main function is to arrange a plurality of pen tip accommodating parts 2 radially from the virtual center 3 to form a single unit, position the cap 1 on the virtual center 3 side, and hold a plurality of pen bodies 99 radially arranged. Since the pen caps are designed to be used, the distance between the center axes of adjacent pens becomes wider at the rear end of the pen, so that the pen can be easily taken at any position. The state of holding the pen is novel in design.

[0010] Further, those which can be separated and connected by the attaching / detaching means are connected and separated from each other by combining the connecting convex portion and the connecting concave portion. This is because they are usually combined and used as a one-piece type, and can be separated and moved as one pen body and its cap when carrying a specific pen. There are two ways to connect the pens,
Some combine the pen with the substrate.
