[0027] Refer to the description of this utility model. Figures 1 to 7A preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pen holder with a timer, will be disclosed and described below. The pen holder includes a main body 10 and at least two timers 20. The timers 20 are mounted on the main body 10. The main body 10 has an upward-opening receiving cavity 11, in which pens, rulers, and other stationery items are stored. Thus, the user can not only use the main body 10 to store pens, rulers, and other stationery items, but also use the timers 20 for timing. Furthermore, since the pen holder provides two timers 20, the two timers 20 can be of different types. For example, one timer 20 can be a countdown timer 21 for counting down, and the other timer 20 can be a clock timer 22 for displaying the current time, meeting different user needs.
[0028] The pen holder body 10 has at least three sides 12, each of which surrounds the receiving cavity 11, and the timer 20 is disposed on at least two of the sides 12. That is, in the pen holder of this utility model, the pen holder body 10 is non-circular, and the sides 12 can be flat. This avoids the timer 20 protruding from the sides 12, which not only increases the aesthetics of the pen holder but also protects the timer 20, preventing collisions at the corners of the timer 20's periphery and front.
[0029] In the appendix Figures 1 to 7 In this specific example of the pen holder shown, the number of sides 12 is preferably four, and the number of timers 20 is two. The two timers 20 are disposed on a pair of opposite sides 12 of the pen holder body 10, and the receiving cavity 11 of the pen holder body 10 is formed at the center of the pen holder body 10. Alternatively, in another example of the pen holder of this invention, the two timers 20 may also be disposed on a pair of adjacent sides 12 of the pen holder body 10.
[0030] Further, see attached document. Figures 1 to 4 The pen holder body 10 includes a writing board 13 and at least one prompting slider assembly 14. The writing board 13 and the prompting slider assembly 14 are distributed on one of the sides 12 of the pen holder body 10. The writing board 13 can be used to write down things, and the prompting slider assembly 14 is used to indicate the completion status of things.
[0031] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4The pen holder includes a turntable 30, which is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the pen holder body 10, meaning the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30 can rotate relative to each other. When the pen holder is placed on a table, the turntable 30 contacts the table and supports the pen holder body 10 away from the table. When the pen holder body 10 is subjected to a circumferential force, it can rotate relative to the turntable 30, allowing the side 12 of the pen holder body 10 to be rotated towards the user or away from the user. During this process, the position of the turntable 30 and the table remains stationary, thus preventing the turntable 30 from rubbing against the table. For example, when the side 12 of the pen holder body 10 with the timer 20 is facing the user, rotating the pen holder body 10 can rotate this side 12 away from the user, while rotating the side 12 with the writing board 13 and the prompt slider assembly 14 can rotate it towards the user.
[0032] Furthermore, the pen holder includes a set of ball bearings 40, which are rotatably disposed between the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30. In this way, the ball bearings 40 can prevent the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30 from directly contacting each other, making the rotation of the pen holder body 10 relative to the turntable 30 smoother.
[0033] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the pen holder body 10 has an annular groove 15, with the opening of the groove 15 facing the turntable 30. The top of the ball bearing 40 is rotatably received in the groove 15 of the pen holder body 10, and the bottom of the ball bearing 40 rollably abuts against the turntable 30. The depth of the groove 15 of the pen holder body 10 is smaller than the diameter of the ball bearing 40, so that the ball bearing 40 is rollably positioned between the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30, and the ball bearing 40 ensures that the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30 do not directly contact each other. When the pen holder body 10 rotates relative to the turntable 30, the ball bearing 40 abutting between the turntable 30 and the pen holder body 10 rolls synchronously, so that the pen holder body 10 rotates more smoothly.
[0034] Optionally, in the appendix Figure 8In this specific example of the pen holder of the present invention shown, the groove 15 can also be provided on the turntable 30, with the opening of the groove 15 facing the pen holder body 10, and the depth of the groove 15 being smaller than the diameter of the ball bearing 40. The bottom of the ball bearing 40 is rotatably received in the groove 15 of the turntable 30, and the top of the ball bearing 40 rotatably abuts against the pen holder body 10, so that the ball bearing 40 is rotatably positioned between the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30, and the ball bearing 40 ensures that the pen holder body 10 and the turntable 30 do not have direct contact.
[0035] Continue to refer to the appendix Figures 1 to 7 The pen holder body 10 includes a cylindrical body 16. The receiving cavity 11 and the side surface 12 of the pen holder body 10 are both formed in the cylindrical body 16. The cylindrical body 16 has at least two mounting slots 161. The openings of the mounting slots 161 of the cylindrical body 16 are formed in the side surface 12 of the pen holder body 10. The timer 20 is mounted in the mounting slot 161 of the cylindrical body 16 to set the timer 20 on the side surface 12 of the pen holder body 10. When the pen holder is placed on a table, the timer 20 of the pen holder can be observed by the user.
[0036] The cylindrical body 16 has a cavity 162, the opening of which faces the bottom of the cylindrical body 16. The pen holder body 10 also includes a base plate 17, which is installed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 16 and is used to close the opening of the cavity 162. The base plate 17 has a battery compartment 171 for installing a battery. The timer 20 and the wiring terminals of the battery compartment 171 of the base plate 17 are connected within the cavity 162 of the cylindrical body 16. The cylindrical body 16 hides various wiring terminals within the cavity 162, making the pen holder more aesthetically pleasing.
[0037] refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the turntable 30 has at least one clearance hole 31. The position of the clearance hole 31 corresponds to the position of the cover 1711 of the battery compartment 171 of the base plate 17. The projection of the cover 1711 on a plane is included in the projection of the clearance hole 31 on that plane. When the user replaces the battery of the pen holder, the user can remove the cover 1711 of the battery compartment 171 through the clearance hole 31 of the turntable 30, which is convenient for operation.
[0038] In the appendix Figures 1 to 7In this specific example of the pen holder of the present invention shown, the number of clearance holes 31 of the turntable 30 is two, and correspondingly, the number of compartment covers 1711 of the battery compartment 171 of the base plate 17 is also two, and the two compartment covers 1711 can correspond to the two clearance holes 31 of the turntable 30 respectively.
[0039] Reference Appendix Figures 4 to 7 The bottom of the cylinder 16 has an assembly post 163, the bottom plate 17 has a bottom plate through hole 172, the turntable 30 has a turntable through hole 32, and the pen holder further includes an assembly element 50, wherein the end of the assembly post 163 of the cylinder 16 is inserted into the bottom plate through hole 172 of the bottom plate 17, and one end of the assembly element 50 is assembled to the assembly post 163 after passing through the turntable through hole 32 of the turntable 30, so that the turntable 30 is rotatably mounted to the bottom of the pen holder body 10. When using the pen holder, after observing the items recorded on the writing board 13 distributed on one of the sides 12 of the pen holder body 10, if the user needs to further observe the current time, the user can rotate the pen holder body 10 relative to the turntable 30, so that the side 12 where the timer 20 is mounted is facing the user's line of sight. One of the two timers 20 is a countdown timer 21, and the other is a clock timer 22 that displays the current time, to meet the different needs of the user.
[0040] It is worth mentioning that the assembly relationship between the assembly element 50 and the assembly column 163 can be achieved by threaded assembly, or the assembly element 50 can be made of an elastic material. After the assembly column 163 passes through the bottom plate through hole 172 of the bottom plate 17 and the assembly element 50 passes through the turntable through hole 32 of the turntable 30, the assembly column 163 is inserted into the assembly element 50. The assembly element 50 relies on friction to prevent the assembly column 163 from slipping off.
[0041] Specifically, the assembly column 163 includes a first assembly column 1631 and a second assembly column 1632. The first assembly column 1631 is integrally formed on the cylinder 16. One end of the second assembly column 1632 is screwed onto the first assembly column 1631, and the other end passes through the bottom plate through hole 172 of the bottom plate 17 and into the assembly element 50 of the turntable 30, so as to rotatably install the pen holder body 10 onto the turntable 30.
[0042] Reference Appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7The pen holder body 10 has a support platform 18, which extends from the receiving cavity 11 of the pen holder body 10 toward the top opening of the receiving cavity 11 and is integrally formed on the side surface 12 of the pen holder body 10.
