Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pen structure technology, and in particular relates to a pen clip and a pen. Background Technology
[0002] A pen is a tool used for writing or drawing. It primarily uses the nib to transfer colored solid or liquid (ink) ink onto paper or other solid surfaces to create words, symbols, or pictures. Pencils and charcoal pencils, which utilize the hardness of solid nibs for writing and drawing, are also common. With societal development, the types of pens have increased significantly, including pencils, brushes, fountain pens, sticky notes, highlighters, ballpoint pens, and fountain pens. Most pens have a clip on them for easy carrying, usually clipped to a book or pocket. Figure 1 The pen clip in the prior art shown is formed by bending a single elastic wire (such as stainless steel wire). The main problem is that the end of the elastic wire forms a hook-like structure with a clear opening, which makes it easy for the pen clips to get caught together. When installing the pen clips onto the pen, they need to be disassembled one by one, which increases the workload and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a pen clip and a pen using the pen clip. By optimizing the pen clip structure, it can prevent the pen clips from getting caught together, thereby eliminating the need to disassemble the pen clips during subsequent assembly, which facilitates assembly and improves production efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] In a first aspect, a pen clip is provided, the pen clip being formed by bending an elastic wire; the upper section of the pen clip is bent to form a pressure handle, the lower section of the pen clip is bent to form a clamping part, the pressure handle and the clamping part are connected as one unit by a connecting section, the free end of the pressure handle is bent toward the connecting section to form a first support arm, and the free end of the clamping part is bent toward the connecting section to form a second support arm corresponding to the first support arm; the second support arm is located below the first support arm and is offset outward relative to the first support arm, and the gap between the end of the first support arm and the connecting section and the gap between the end of the second support arm and the connecting section are both smaller than the diameter of the wire used in the pen clip.
[0006] In some embodiments, the connecting segment has a bend angle at its end near the end of the second support arm, pointing toward the direction of the second support arm.
[0007] In some embodiments, the clamping portion includes an outwardly arched portion, the bottom of which is provided with an abutment portion for contacting the pen body.
[0008] In some embodiments, the lower end of the clamping portion is curved outward.
[0009] In a second aspect, a pen is provided, the pen including the pen clip as described in any embodiment of the first aspect, the pen body having a pen clip seat, and the pen clip being mounted on the pen clip seat.
[0010] In some embodiments, the top surface of the pen clip holder is provided with a support groove, and the first support arm of the pen clip is installed in the support groove; the side end surface of the pen clip holder is provided with a mounting hole, and the second support arm of the pen clip is inserted into the mounting hole.
[0011] The main problem with existing pen clips is the significant gap between the end of the support arm and the pen clip connecting section, causing the pen clips to easily get caught together. When installing the pen clips on a pen, each clip needs to be disassembled individually, increasing workload and affecting production efficiency. This invention controls this gap, making it smaller than the diameter of the wire used in the pen clip. This prevents the pen clips from getting caught together, eliminating the need for subsequent disassembly, thus facilitating assembly and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0020] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0021] Firstly, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a pen clip 1, which is formed by bending an elastic wire, such as a metal wire, like copper wire or stainless steel wire. The upper part of the pen clip 1 is bent to form a pressure handle 11, and the lower part of the pen clip 1 is bent to form a clamping part 12. The pressure handle 11 and the clamping part 12 are connected as one unit by a connecting section 13. In use, pressing the pressure handle 11 can control the clamping part 12 to separate from the pen body for easy clamping. The free end of the pressure handle 11 is bent toward the connecting section 13 to form a first support arm 112, and the free end of the clamping part 12 is bent toward the connecting section 13 to form a second support arm 122 corresponding to the first support arm 112. The second support arm 122 is located below the first support arm 112 and is offset outward relative to the first support arm 112 (the offset direction is...). Figure 2 (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow), preferably, the first support arm 112 and the second support arm 122 are arranged along the... Figure 2The offset distance in the direction indicated by the middle arrow is 2mm to 6mm, and the gap between the end of the first support arm 112 and the connecting segment 13 and the gap between the end of the second support arm 122 and the connecting segment 13 are both smaller than the diameter of the wire used in the pen clip 1.
[0022] It is understandable that the first support arm 112 and the second support arm 122 need to be misaligned so that the pen clip 1 forms a spring-generating arm after being installed in the pen clip base 2 (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, the clamping part 12 has two side arms, left and right. The right arm serves as the elastic force generating arm, and the left arm is connected to the pressure handle part 11 through the connecting section 13. When the pressure handle part 11 is pressed on the pen body 1, the left arm acts as the driving arm to separate the clamping part 12 from the pen body. The elastic force generating arm maintains an elastic pressure to perform the clamping function. Moreover, when in use, the pen clip 1 can automatically reset after the pressure applied to the pressure handle part 11 is released.
[0023] like Figure 1 The main problem with the existing pen clip 01 shown is that there is a significant gap between the end of the support arm 0122 and the connecting section 013 on the pen clip. This makes it easy for the pen clips 01 to get caught together. When installing the pen clips 1 on a pen, they need to be disassembled one by one, increasing workload and affecting production efficiency. The pen clip 1 of this invention controls this gap, making it smaller than the diameter of the wire used in the pen clip. This prevents the pen clips 1 from getting caught together, eliminating the need for subsequent disassembly of the pen clips 1, thus facilitating assembly and improving production efficiency.
[0024] To achieve the goal of ensuring that the gap between the end of the second support arm 122 and the connecting segment 13 of the pen clip 1 is smaller than the diameter of the wire used in the pen clip 1, and that the first support arm 112 and the second support arm 122 are misaligned in the inward and outward directions, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, on the connecting section 13 of the pen clip 1, a bending angle A is provided near the end of the second support arm 122, which is directed toward the second support arm 122. The presence of the bending angle A can reduce the gap, making it less likely for the pen clip 1 to get caught together. The bending angle can be, but is not limited to, bent into an arc shape or a V shape.
[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping part 12 includes an arched part 1211 that arches outward. The bottom a of the arched part 1211 is provided with an abutment part a for contacting the pen body. When the pen clip is installed on the pen, the presence of the abutment part a can increase the clamping force of the pen clip.
[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lower end of the clamping part 12 is raised outward. During use, this end can serve as a guide to facilitate clamping.
[0027] Secondly, such as Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a pen 100, which includes a pen clip 1 as described in any embodiment of the first aspect. The pen body of the pen 100 is provided with a pen clip seat 2, and the pen clip 1 is mounted on the pen clip seat 2.
[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top surface of the pen clip holder 2 is provided with a support groove 21, and the first support arm 112 of the pen clip 1 is installed in the support groove 21; the side end surface of the pen clip holder 2 is provided with a mounting hole 22, and the second support arm 122 of the pen clip 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 22.
[0029] The installation process for pen clip 1 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the first support arm 112 of the pen clip 1 is first pressed and installed in the support groove 21, and then the second support arm 122 of the pen clip 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 22 of the pen clip seat 2. After the pen clip 1 is installed in the pen clip seat 2, it forms an elastic force generating arm, which maintains an elastic pressure to play a clamping role.
[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
