Definitions
- the invention relates to an actuating mechanism for a ballpoint pen (retractable ball pen) according to the introductory part of claim 1 and one Retractable ballpoint pen with such an actuation mechanism.
- Such a ballpoint pen or such an actuation mechanism is from the FR 1,431,346 A, which corresponds to GB 1,039,057 A and DE 1 894 602 U, is known. He has a pin and a ring, the pin having a longitudinal axis and on one End of a push button and at a distance from it an area with a larger diameter. Furthermore, it has at least one pair of ribs, consisting of a push button side Rib and a tip-side rib, which is a distance between in the axial direction free yourself. The ends of the facing away from the larger diameter area ribs further away in this area are provided with inclined run-up surfaces. The ring has a toothing on both end faces that only an inner part of the Wall thickness of the ring detected, so that the outer portion of the wall thickness one each flat end face. The pair of ribs interacts with the front serrations.
- a similar actuation mechanism is known from FR 1,195,456 A.
- the area with the larger diameter is the push button, the ring has teeth on one end face like the one described above, the other end face is toothed.
- Ballpoint pens generally include a housing in which a refill with a Ink reservoir and a writing tip is used.
- the mine can be replaced by one Push button and an operating mechanism between a writing position in which the Nib protrudes from the housing, and a rest position in which the nib is located inside the housing, can be moved back and forth. Between the housing and the mine is arranged a spring that pushes the mine towards the rest position.
- the Actuation mechanism is also in the housing, its push button protrudes from it, the lead presses on the side facing away from the push button Operating mechanism.
- the housing is usually in two parts and then consists of one long tip-side part with an internal thread and a shorter, Part on the push-button side with a suitable external thread.
- the invention relates especially on the actuation mechanism.
- An actuating mechanism known to the inventor, but not in writing is detectable consists of a substantially circular cylindrical pin 8, the on the one hand forms the push button 21 and on the other hand with its end face 22 abuts the mine and with it cooperates.
- the pin 8 faces the mine an axial region 9 with a larger diameter than the other axial areas 10, 11 of the pin.
- Ribs 13, 14 which are parallel to the axis 16 of the pin 8 run.
- There are at least two, but mostly four or more such ribs 13, 14 are provided.
- the ribs 13, which adjoin the area 9, are sufficient radially preferably up to the radius of the axial region 9.
- the ribs 14 preferably have a smaller radial height.
- the ribs 13, 14 have the same extent in the circumferential direction (Thickness). There are two ribs each assigned, are referred to as a pair of ribs and point the following geometric arrangement:
- a tip-side rib 13 is on the pin 8 over a predetermined axial length, from axial section 9 outgoing, arranged, the other, push-button rib 14, viewed in the axial direction, assigns a distance h the tip-side rib 13 so that in the axial direction between the facing ends of the two Ribs an unribbed area of the jacket surface Remains.
- the two ribs are offset circumferentially so that a flank 23 of a rib 13 with the other flank 24 of the other rib 14 is aligned so that, Seen in the axial direction, the two ribs 13, 14 come to lie immediately next to each other.
- flank foot If the flanks of the ribs are not in radial planes extend, this relation refers to the flank foot. Are several such associated with each other Rib pairs are provided, so they are evenly above the Scope distributed and all offset in the same direction.
- the pin 8 cooperates with a ring 12, which is the following Features: Its inner diameter corresponds to D. the outer diameter d of the pin so that it is along the pin can slide and rotate quickly. He points axially extending grooves 25 on its inner lateral surface that allow him to move quickly over the ribs 13, 14 of the Pin 8 to be pushed in the axial direction.
- the Number of grooves 25 is chosen so that the further below explained functionality is fulfilled, e.g. are at two pairs of ribs 13, 14 four grooves 25 are provided.
- the Ring is with a sawtooth on each of its two faces 17, 18 provided. The sawing of both teeth shows in the same direction.
- the axial extension, height H, the ring from tooth tip to tooth tip is larger than that axial distance h between the facing ends associated ribs 13, 14, the axial Extent from tooth base to tooth base is smaller h.
- the ring 12 can be rib-free Area of the pin 8 are rotated when it and consequent axial movement of the pin exposed is and the tooth tips of the sawtooth 17 each other Dodge facing rib ends 13, 14, or dodge have to.
- Two pairs of ribs are preferably provided Extension of each rib in the circumferential direction is 22.5 °, the number of saw teeth is then eight, the number of Grooves four.
- the Ring 12 in a suitably designed part 12 ' Through opening 2 of the housing 1 with the aid of a clamping part 20 (Fig. 5) mounted so that it is in axial and radial direction is essentially immovable, but around its axis 16 ', with the ballpoint axis 16 "and the pin axis 16 coincides at least substantially, can rotate.
- the through opening 2 faces the Clamping part 20 facing away from an area 3 with reduced Diameter on.
- the pin 8 is inserted into the ring 12 so that the ring essentially at the location of the pin 8 located axially between the ribs 13, 14, furthermore the axial section 9 of the pin 8, the has a larger diameter than the others Pin sections, in an area 4 of the through hole 2 of the housing part 1 is located, the area 3 adjacent is.
- the diameters are adjusted so that the pin 8 itself can move axially and circumferentially in area 4, that it does not pass through area 3 of the through opening can pass through.
- FIG. 5 is the rear part of an inventive Pen shown in its rest position.
- the mine 21 pushes the pin 8 backwards until its shoulder 29 (Fig. 2) on the ring 12 and so every further movement prevented in this direction.
- the ribs 13 of the pin 8 are in the rest position shown in the grooves of the ring 12 inserted so that only the outer, non-grooved area the wall thickness of the ring 12 can be seen in Fig. 5.
- the face 22 would be in the writing position of the ballpoint pen the pin 8 near the section 3 and the ribs 14 of the Pin would be inserted into the grooves 25 of the ring 12, the push button 21 only protruded a little from the Housing part 1.
- the spring pushes it backwards by means of the lead, the toothing on the button side releasing the ribs 14 on the button side and the tip-side ribs 13 again coming into the area of the tip-side toothing. Due to the rotation of the ring, the tip-side ribs 13 are now one tooth further than in the initial state and thus reach the area of a groove 25 of the ring, so that the pin 8 can be pushed further under the action of the spring than it is in the initial position of the Case was: The mine moves to its retracted position, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the game repeats itself exactly as described above, with the first Difference that the axial movement of the pin until the Teeth on the button side with the ribs 14 on the button side is longer than before and with the second difference that the tip-side ribs 13 to the in the end position Grooves 25 are offset so that the pin 8 and the lead are held in their forward position are reached, whereby the first-mentioned, ready-to-write, starting position is reached again becomes.
- the aim of the invention is to avoid these drawbacks and to achieve one Actuation mechanism of the type defined in the introduction to create the trouble-free is to be assembled.
- the ribs seen in the axial direction, are arranged on the push button side of the area with a larger diameter that the Ribs of each pair of ribs are offset from one another in the circumferential direction so that one Flank of one rib is flush with the other flank of the other rib that the tip-side ends of the ribs on the button side and preferably also the Pushbutton-side ends of the tip-side ribs symmetrically V-shaped are that the ring has axially extending grooves that with the pair of ribs interact and that both teeth are saw teeth that are in the same Show direction.
- the ring consists of suitable engineering plastic ("engineering plastic”, e.g. Delrin 500 [a product of E.I.du Pont de Nemours and Co., Inc., USA], Celcon [a Product of Celanese Corporation, USA], polyamide, nylon 6.6 [a product of Akzo n.v., Netherlands]).

- Celcon a Product of Celanese Corporation, USA
- polyamide nylon 6.6 [a product of Akzo n.v., Netherlands]
- the saw teeth 17, 18 only via an inner To execute part of the wall thickness of the ring 12 and the outer part of the Wall thickness on both end faces of the ring with a flat end face 19, perpendicular to To provide axis 16 '(Fig. 3) of the ring 12, preferably in the plane of the tooth tips is or this is very slightly, for example 0.05 mm, protrudes.
- this design has the completely unpredictable advantage that Ballpoint pen housing in the area of the actuation mechanism in terms of production technology To be able to design cheaper than before: With many types of ballpoint pens that Use the actuating mechanism described, is in the area of this Mechanism a division of the housing, the two parts by means of a thread 6 are interconnected. The actuation mechanism sits in the Housing part on the push-button side 1, while the tip-side housing part the lead 21 and picks up the spring.
- Region 4b is followed by region 4a, which as in the prior art, an inner diameter has a guide for section 9 of the pin 8 forms.
- the inner surfaces 30 of the supports 7 therefore fall preferably with the continuation of the lateral surface of the Section 4a together.
- Form the sections 4a and 4b together section 4 the same management and Holding functions as known in the prior art, fulfilled.
- the invention is not based on the described embodiment limited, but can be modified in various ways become. So it is possible instead of two each other opposite pairs of ribs three or four such To provide pairs, however, is because of the easier to endure elastic deformation of the ring at only two Rib pairs the preferred embodiment described. Should three or four pairs be provided, then so the number of grooves and teeth of the ring is corresponding to increase.
- the bevel on the push-button side ends of the push-button side Ribs is in the illustrated embodiment 13.5 °, with respect to the pin axis 16, but can other angles can also be used, only those at the Assembly of the ring occurring forces are taken into account and bearable for the ring.
- the mutually facing ends 31, 32 of the ribs 13, 14 are V-shaped according to a development of the invention sharpened to better interact with the tooth bases the respective sawtooth 17, 18 of the ring 12 to reach. Because the sawtooth of the ring, if its End faces twisted by 180 ° during assembly in the other direction is symmetrical Training of these rib ends 13, 14 necessary to in both layers have the same conditions for the inclusion of the Creating writing pressure.
