  • a writing element in the form of a cone-shaped point 28 is mounted at the forward end of the writing tip 26 , the cone-shaped writing element having a centerline NC disposed at an angle to the longitudinal axis BC of the barrel 12 .
  • a ball 30 which may be of any type well known in the art is provided at the forward end of the point 28 , the ball being disposed on the centerline NC and spaced a distance D from the longitudinal axis BC.
  • An ink supply for the ball 30 is provided by an ink cartridge 32 which may be replaceable element received in the elongated cylindrical member, or in the instance of a disposable pen, may be integral with the cylindrical member 22 .
  • the distance D between the ball 30 and the longitudinal axis BC is between 0.01 inch and 0.10 inch, while the angle between the centerline NC of the point 28 is generally in the area of 30°, but may be between 20° and 40°.
  • the ballpoint pen 10 of FIG. 1 is depicted in positions assumed during the writing process.
  • the ballpoint pen 10 is positioned by the user relative to a writing surface S at an angle X from the perpendicular, as the ball 30 contacts the writing surface.
  • the elongated cylindrical member 22 may be at a position wherein the point 28 is not in its neutral position (that is, the position wherein the centerline NC of the conical point is at right angles to the surface S), but is offset at an angle Y.
  • the restoring torque T is equal to D, which is the distance of the ball 30 from the longitudinal axis BC of the barrel 12 , times the perpendicular force F times the sine of angle X times the sine of angle Y; or
  • T D ⁇ F ⁇ SINE X ⁇ SINE Y.

  • the weights 34 , 35 and 36 retain the ball 30 above the longitudinal axis BC when the longitudinal axis is horizontally disposed, or at an acute angle to the writing surface.
  • the provision for properly locating the ball 30 on the surface S is substantially provided by employing the weights 34 , 35 , and 36 . Therefore, with the construction shown in FIG. 2, the force F will serve to cause rotation of the point 28 and ball 30 into the proper alignment for providing the optimum in quality writing. It will be noted that with the providing of the weights 34 , 35 and 36 as a rotational means, it is not necessary to produce the restoring torque provided by the distance D in the structure of FIG. 1, as explained above.
  • the ball 30 therefore, may be located on the longitudinal centerline BC, or at another location, as desired.
  • While the “restoring torque” described above is a major factor in the proper orientation of the point 28 to the writing surface in the structure of FIG. 1, it should be understood that a variety of torque forces may be present on a particular writing instrument. These torques may include, but are not limited to, wobble torque (impact by change of direction during writing), dampening torque (impact by bearing friction), and, as in the structure of FIG. 2, torque imparted by weights.
  • a pen 100 comprises a barrel 112 having an end cap 114 and a bearing 116 having a conical bearing surface 118 disposed at the rear thereof.

  • the elongated cylindrical member 122 has a conical recess 124 at its rearward end, the conical recess 124 being formed in spaced relation with a magnet 125 affixed to the cylindrical member 122 .
  • the pen 100 is similar to previous embodiments in that it comprises, at the forward end, a writing tip 126 having a coneshaped point 128 supporting a rotatable ball 130 , and an ink cartridge 132 .
  • the structure is further similar to that shown in FIG. 2 in that a weight 134 is provided at one side of the cylindrical member 122 , which weight serves to function in a similar manner as previously described with regard to weights 34 , 35 and 36 on the embodiment of FIG. 2 .
  • a rearwardly facing surface 140 is disposed on the portion of the writing tip which is affixed to the cylindrical member 122 .
  • a forwardly facing surface 142 having an O-ring 144 mounted thereon, is formed on the barrel 112 at the forward end of the pen 100 , in facing relation with the shoulder 140 .
  • the O-ring 144 is of a resilient material, such as rubber, and has a friction surface for contacting the surface 140 .
  • the bearing 116 is provided with a block 117 of magnetic material, and is mounted in a cylindrical stop member 146 .
  • the stop member 146 is in contact with a pad 148 which is formed of a slow-recovery foam, generally an open-cell type, which after compression by the stop member 146 will slowly return to its at-rest state.
  • the entire assembly mounted on the cylindrical member 122 is held in place, as shown in FIG. 7, by the magnetic attraction between the magnet 117 and the magnet 125 , the cylindrical member 122 being allowed to rotate freely due to the gap G at the forward end of the barrel 112 with a minimum of frictional contact being maintained at the conical bearing surface 118 and conical recess 124 .
  • the gap G is generally 0.005 to 0.010 inches with the shoulder 140 in the forwardmost position.
  • the entire structure connected to the cylindrical member 122 moves rearwardly with a result that the rearwardly facing surface 140 is forced toward the forwardly facing surface 142 , and the gripping member in the form of the O-ring 144 prevents further rotation of the cylindrical member 122 and its attached, related structure.
  • the cylindrical stop member 146 which is slidably disposed in the barrel 112 , moves rearwardly, compressing the pad 148 .
  • the pad 148 recovers to its at-rest shape and is effective to move the cylindrical stop member 146 forward, producing the gap G at the forward end of the barrel 112 , and again allowing rotation of the cylindrical member 122 and the point 128 .
  • the contact of the O-ring 144 with the surface 140 is thus effective to eliminate rotation of the writing tip 126 during the writing process.
  • FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 a further alternate embodiment of the invention is shown in a pen 200 , wherein like members have been given the same reference numerals as those found in the structure of FIG. 6 .

  • the cylindrical member 122 is free to move forwardly and rearwardly along the centerline of the barrel 112 , but is restricted from forward movement by an attach pin 216 having a round ball 218 at one end thereof.
  • a shaft 220 extends through the cylindrical bore 206 of the stop block 204 and is threadedly attached in the end block 208 of the cylindrical member 122 .
  • the shaft 220 is designed to maintain a running fit in the cylindrical bore 206 , and the ball 218 provides a minimum contact between the attach pin 216 and the stop block 204 to ensure a minimum resistance to both rotation and axial movement of the cylindrical member 122 .
  • the gap G between the surface of the O-ring 214 and the surface 212 will be produced by the user in prewriting orientation of the pen 200 , with the writing tip 126 in a conventional downward position.
  • the surfaces 210 and 212 generally are being maintained separated over the gap G due to gravity, to an extent providing free rotation and axial movement of the cylindrical member 122 .
  • the cylindrical member 122 is caused to move rearwardly creating frictional contact between the O-ring 214 and the forwardly facing surface 212 to inhibit rotation of the cone-shaped point 128 and writing tip 126 during the writing operation.
  • O-rings 144 and 214 have been shown as elements producing a gripping structure in the described embodiments, it should be understood that frictional, mechanical, or other means may be employed for gripping purposes within the scope of the invention.
  • a writing instrument of the type shown and described in FIGS. 1 through 5 having a further feature of a gripping structure which is effective to impede rotation of the writing point after it has been properly oriented by the user.
