Definitions

  • Pen-like applicator for applying liquids in particular an ink pen or cosmetic applicator
  • the invention relates to a pen-like applicator for applying liquids and, in particular, to an ink writing instrument or a cosmetic applicator.
  • Ink pens are understood to mean all types of pens that work with a liquid to pasty writing fluid. Examples include highlighters, touch-up pens, ballpoint pens, crayons or rollerball pens.
  • the cosmetic applicators include, for example, eyeshadow pencils, eyeliner, nail polish, mascara applicators, hair coloring, perfume, lip, lip contour pencils and the like. The like.
  • Pen-like applicators can also be stippling pens for therapeutically active liquids, such as applicators for insect repellants or for soothing liquids for insect bites.

  • plastic parts e.g. textiles, furniture or for paper (for correcting spelling mistakes)
  • care products applicators for lubricating oils e.g. for hinge care
  • for shoe, furniture, lacquer for to call the plastic care.
  • Such pen-like applicators are known to have a liquid reservoir for the liquid to be applied, an application tip for the controlled application of the liquid and a liquid conductor between the application tip and the liquid reservoir.
  • removable caps are used to meet the latter requirements, which are then placed airtight on the applicator tip.
  • the application tips have to be pushed back into the handle part of the applicator by retractable leads.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a pen-like applicator for applying liquids in such a way that a clean, defined liquid outlet is possible in a structurally simple manner when the applicator is used, but an outflow of liquid or when not in use the evaporation and drying of the tip of the order are largely avoided.
  • a valve arrangement is provided between the liquid reservoir and the application tip for controlling the liquid transport, said valve arrangement having a spring wound on a block as an actuating part. This can be moved between its closed and open positions by actuating the tip of the order. The windings of the spring are spread out in the open position. In the closed position they are close together.
  • the construction according to the invention has the advantage that the control of the liquid transport to the tip of the order is controlled directly by the use of the applicator itself. In this respect, a liquid flow is usually only possible when the applicator tip is in use. For a writing instrument, this means that the ink flow only takes place when the writing tip is placed on a sheet of paper and passed over it.
  • valve arrangement When not in use, the previously spread spring is relieved and closes automatically.
  • the valve arrangement thus blocks the further flow of ink to the tip of the order. Due to the design of the actuating part of the valve arrangement as a block spring, the smallest actuation paths and forces are sufficient to transfer the actuating menu from the closed to the open position. By spreading the spring windings, a comparatively large opening cross-section is created despite the short actuation travel, which is permeable to liquid over the entire circumference of the spring. This means that even the slightest spreading of the spring windings is sufficient for sufficient liquid transport.

  • a bearing body 8 with its plug part 9 is inserted in a liquid-tight manner.
  • a through bore 10 is provided centrally in the plug part 9, in which a helical spring 11 wound on a block is arranged. Compared to the bore 10, this has a slightly smaller outer diameter and is fixed with its end facing away from the liquid reservoir 3 in a liquid-tight manner in an inwardly projecting ring edge 12 of the bearing body 8.
  • an application tip 13 formed from capillary-effective fiber material is guided so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction, the application tip 13 simultaneously forming the liquid conductor for the marking liquid 4.
  • the application tip and the liquid conductor are thus formed in one piece as a capillary tip.
  • the applicator tip 13 is made smaller in diameter and, with this pin-shaped extension 14, projects through the inner opening of the helical spring 11.

  • the helical spring 11 now forms a valve arrangement V, wherein in the inactive state of the highlighter shown in FIG. 1, the helical spring 10 is closed due to the inherent spring force and its windings sit tightly against one another.

  • a liquid passage through the coil spring 10 is not possible because of the wound windings.
  • the application tip 13 When the highlighter 1 is placed on a sheet of paper 24, the application tip 13 is displaced inward by the stroke H against the spring force of the helical spring 11 by the pressure force. This movement is transmitted via the abutment insert 15 to the helical spring 11, the spring windings of which spread apart. The valve arrangement V is thus moved into the open position. Marking fluid 4 can then flow past the outside of the helical spring 11 in the bore 10 and enter the interior of the helical spring 11 through the opened spring windings, where it is passed on to the writing tip 21 by the capillary action of the application tip 13. A pressure equalization takes place in the container 2 via the ventilation channels 17. This is otherwise occupied with mixed weights 25.
