Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of writing auxiliary devices, and specifically to a pen holder with a multi-functional pen barrel that does not require a pen washer.
Background Art
[0002] As an important tool for traditional calligraphy and painting creation and calligraphy practice, the writing brush occupies an important position in the fields of cultural inheritance and artistic creation. During the writing process, it is necessary to dip the brush in ink, and only after washing and drying the brush can it be stored. During breaks in calligraphy or painting, in order to temporarily store the writing brush and keep the tip moist, a pen holder with a pen barrel that does not require a pen washer is usually used. Most of the currently commercially available pen holders with pen barrels that do not require a pen washer have a simple structure. Some can only hold a single writing brush, and some can only hold a plurality of writing brushes with a small diameter due to the limitation of the pen soaking device. The stability after hanging is poor, and it can cause varying degrees of inconvenience in using the writing brush.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a pen holder with a multi-functional pen barrel that does not require a pen washer, which can firmly hold writing brushes of different caliber types by means of pen clamping means and solve the problems in the prior art.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] The present invention employs a technical solution to solve the technical problem: a multi-functional brush holder with a brush holder that does not require brush washing, comprising a brush holder, a lower plate fitted and attached to the brush holder, an arc-shaped receiver provided at the bottom of the lower plate located inside the brush holder, the arc-shaped receiver fitted to the inner circumference of the brush holder, the lower plate rotatable relative to the brush holder, multiple brush-holding means arranged circumferentially on the lower plate, each brush-holding means including a clip, an upper plate detachably connected to the lower plate provided above the clip, and the clamping end of the clip inserted into the top of the brush holder. A torsion spring is installed inside the clip, and the torsion spring always tends to bring its clamping ends closer together. An arc groove is made in the lower plate corresponding to the open end of the clip, and a connecting plate and a stopper plate are provided at the bottom of the open end of the clip. The connecting plate is located in the arc groove, and the stopper plate is located at the bottom of the lower plate and its length is greater than the width of the arc groove. When the open end of the clip is rotated and brought closer together, overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring, both the connecting plate and the stopper plate can be inserted into the arc groove. An insertion hole is made in the lower plate corresponding to the axial position of the torsion spring, and a positioning column is provided in each upper plate that fits into the insertion hole, and the torsion spring is fitted onto the outer circumference of the positioning column. A rubber pad is attached to the inside of the clamping end of the clip, and a recessed groove is made in the inner surface of the rubber pad that fits onto a calligraphy brush. The connecting plate has the same thickness as the stopper plate, and the inner surfaces of the connecting plate and the stopper plate and the inner surface of the open end of the clip are on the same water surface. When the open end of the clip is rotated and brought closer, overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring, the ends of the stopper plates on both sides can come into contact with each other. A partition plate is installed inside the brush holder, and the partition plate divides the inside of the brush holder into two independent spaces. A partition tube is fitted and installed inside the brush holder, and the cross-section of the partition tube is D-shaped. The partition tube is rotatable relative to the brush holder, and the partition tube is located at the bottom of the arc-shaped receiver. The upper plates of each brush-holding means are all connected integrally. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] Advantageous effects of the present invention: The multi-functional brush holder with a brush case that does not require brush washing, as described in the present invention, utilizes the elastic force of a torsion spring through the design of the brush clamping mechanism to automatically adjust the degree and range of clamping based on brushes of different diameters. This allows it to clamp and hang both thin line-drawing brushes and thick coloring brushes, greatly expanding the range of use of the brush holder with a brush case and meeting the diverse needs of calligraphers and painters.
[0006] By installing the clip's connecting plate and stopper plate, they are aligned with the arc groove on the lower plate, forming a stable limiting role for the clip, ensuring its opening and closing and adjustable movement within the limiting range, meeting the clamping needs for brushes of different diameters, and ensuring stability after the brush is placed on it. The overall device is easy to operate, simple and neat, and convenient for large-scale distribution. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 5] This is a schematic diagram of the clip's structure. [Figure 6] This is a schematic diagram showing the connecting plate and stopper plate of the clip placed within the arcuate groove. [Figure 7] This is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a brush holder with a partition plate inside. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] The multi-functional brush holder with a brush holder that does not require brush washing, as described in the present invention, includes a brush holder 1, a lower plate 2 fitted and attached to the brush holder 1, an arc-shaped receiver 3 is provided at the bottom of the lower plate 2 located inside the brush holder 1, the arc-shaped receiver 3 is fitted to the inner circumference of the brush holder 1, the lower plate 2 is located on the top surface of the brush holder 1, the lower plate 2 and the arc-shaped receiver 3 may be provided as a single unit, and the lower plate 2 can be rotated relative to the brush holder 1.
[0009] Multiple brush-holding means are attached to the lower plate 2, arranged around its circumference. Each brush-holding means can hold brushes of different diameters. Each brush-holding means includes a clip 4, which may be a conventional A-shaped clip. The middle portion can be hinged via a torsion spring 6, and one end of the clip 4 is a clamping end, while the other end is an open end. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring 6, the clamping end of the clip 4 can clamp and secure the brush. An upper plate 5 is provided above the clip 4, detachably connected to the lower plate 2. The upper plate 5 and the lower plate 2 restrict the attachment of the clip 4, improving stability after the brush is placed on it.
[0010] The clamping end of the clip 4 is inserted into the upper part of the brush holder 1, and a torsion spring 6 is installed inside the clip 4. The torsion spring 6 always tends to bring the clamping ends closer together, so that the brush held by the clip 4 has its bottom tip immersed in the brush holder 1, maintaining moisture and facilitating subsequent normal use.
[0011] To restrict the rotational opening and closing operation of the clip 4, an arc groove 7 is made in the lower plate 2 corresponding to the open end of the clip 4, and a connecting upright plate 8 and a stopper plate 9 are provided at the bottom of the open end of the clip 4. The connecting upright plate 8 is located within the arc groove 7, and the stopper plate 9 is located at the bottom of the lower plate 2 and its length is greater than the width of the arc groove 7. The connecting upright plate 8 is located within the arc groove 7, which restricts the opening and closing of the clip 4. The installation of the stopper plate 9 prevents the connecting upright plate 8 from separating from the arc groove 7, allowing the clip 4 to be stably attached to the lower plate 2 without affecting the normal opening and closing operation of the clip 4.
[0012] To facilitate the attachment of the clip 4 to the lower plate 2, as shown in Figure 6, when the open end of the clip 4 is rotated to move closer, overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring 6, both the connecting upright plate 8 and the stopper plate 9 can be inserted into the arc groove 7. After the stopper plate 9 penetrates the arc groove 7 downwards, the clip 4 is rotated so that the clamping end is on the upper side of the brush barrel 1, and the stopper plate 9 rotates synchronously until its longitudinal direction coincides with the width direction of the arc groove 7, forming a limit and attaching the clip 4 to the arc groove 7 position on the lower plate 2.
[0013] Both the arc-shaped receiver 3 and the lower plate 2 may have a fan-shaped annular structure. After attaching them to the brush holder 1, the brush can be placed on the position where the clip 4 is provided, and the brush washing operation can be performed in the fan-shaped area on the brush holder 1 where the clip 4 is not present.
[0014] When using the multi-functional brush holder with a brush holder that does not require brush washing as described in this invention, simply pour clean water or brush moistening solution into the brush holder 1, pinch the open end of the clip 4, overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 6 to open the clamping end, insert the brush to be hung on the clamping end, adjust the height of the brush, immerse a portion of the tip of the brush at the bottom into the brush holder 1 to moisten it, and then loosen the open end of the clip 4. If it is necessary to remove the brush, simply pinch the open end of the clip 4, rotate the clamping end to open it, and remove the brush from inside the clip 4.
[0015] Furthermore, in order to attach the upper plate 5 to the lower plate 2 and to position the upper plate 5 and lower plate 2 to the clip 4, an insertion hole 10 is made in the lower plate 2 corresponding to the axial position of the torsion spring 6, and each upper plate 5 is provided with a positioning column 11 that fits into the insertion hole 10. The positioning column 11 may be a tapered column, and the diameter of the tapered column gradually decreases from top to bottom, so that when the upper plate 5 is attached, the positioning column 11 enters into the insertion hole 10 and tightens, fixing the upper plate 5 to the lower plate 2. The torsion spring 6 is fitted onto the outer circumference of the positioning column 11 and can also be used to position the clip 4, without affecting the normal opening and closing of the clip 4.
[0016] The design of the positioning column 11 and insertion hole 10 not only makes the connection stronger, but also makes it convenient and quick to remove or replace parts when necessary. Furthermore, the connection and structural design between each part is rational, the overall structure is stable and durable, the rate of damage during use is reduced, and the lifespan of the pen holder with pen case is extended.
[0017] Furthermore, a rubber pad 12 may be attached to the inside of the clamping end of the clip 4, and a groove is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the rubber pad 12 to fit onto the calligraphy brush. The design of the rubber pad 12 not only increases the frictional force with the calligraphy brush and prevents the brush from slipping, but also avoids damaging the brush handle during clamping, thus meeting the needs for calligraphy brush maintenance and is advantageous in extending the lifespan of the calligraphy brush.
[0018] Furthermore, when attaching the clip 4, in order for the connecting upright plate 8 and the stopper plate 9 to smoothly enter the arc groove 7, the connecting upright plate 8 has the same thickness as the stopper plate 9, and the inner surfaces of the connecting upright plate 8 and the stopper plate 9 and the inner surface of the open end of the clip 4 are on the same horizontal plane. When rotating and approaching the open end of the clip 4 by overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring 6, the ends of the stopper plates 9 on both sides can contact each other. Due to the positional arrangement of the connecting upright plate 8 and the stopper plate 9 above, when rotating the open ends of the clip 4 to approach each other, the distance between the connecting upright plates 8 and the stopper plates 9 on both sides can be minimized, thereby reducing the width space occupied by the connecting upright plates 8 and the stopper plates 9 on both sides and enabling smooth entry into the arc groove 7 to achieve positioning and attachment.
[0019] Regarding the attachment of the clip 4, the positioning post 11 between the upper layer plate 5 and the lower layer plate 2 forms an attachment restriction for the torsion spring 6 and also forms an attachment restriction for the stopper plate 9 through the arc groove 7. By installing the above structure, the positioning clamping of the clip 4 can be realized, forming a swing amplitude restriction within a certain range of the clip 4, realizing stable clamping and hanging for the writing brush without interfering with the operation of adjacent clips 4 and without affecting the normal opening and closing operation of the clip 4.
[0020] Furthermore, in order to realize separating and hanging the ink colors of writing brushes with different writing colors, as shown in FIG. 7, a partition plate 14 is installed in the pen barrel 1, and the partition plate 14 divides the interior of the pen barrel 1 into two independent spaces. In addition, a partition cylinder 13 may be fitted and attached in the pen barrel 1. The cross-section of the partition cylinder 13 is D-shaped, and the partition cylinder 13 can rotate with respect to the pen barrel 1 and is located at the bottom position of the arc-shaped receiver 3.
[0021] The partition plate 14 and the partition cylinder 13 can partition the internal space of the pen barrel 1 into two independent spaces, and different-color pen soaking liquids can be filled in the two parts. The pen barrel 1 and the partition cylinder 13 may both be made of a transparent material to facilitate the user to distinguish different colors from the outside. By hanging a writing brush with a matching color above the designated position, a brush holder with separated ink colors can be realized. The rotatable partition cylinder 13 can adaptively adjust its position according to the color of the hanging writing brush, and can ensure that the writing brush is soaked in the pen soaking liquid of the matching color.
[0022] In the remaining space in the partition cylinder 13 and the pen barrel 1, cleaning water and pen soaking liquid can also be filled respectively. The partition cylinder 13 can be rotated within the fan-shaped open area where the clip 4 is not installed to perform a pen washing operation, increasing the pen washing space and not affecting the pen soaking function of the writing brush hung at the position of the clip 4.
[0023] When drawing traditional Chinese paintings, it is common to use corresponding pigments with ink. Among them, the pigments are easier to clean than ink. The installation of the partition cylinder 13 is beneficial for distinguishing the cleaning of ink and pigments. For example, fill the cleaning water for cleaning ink in the partition cylinder 13 and fill the cleaning water for cleaning pigments in the pen barrel 1. The partition cylinder 13 can be taken out independently, and at the same time, it is not necessary to frequently replace the cleaning water in the pen barrel 1. If the inside of the pen barrel 1 is for ink cleaning and the inside of the partition cylinder 13 is for pigment cleaning, ink is likely to adhere to the outer peripheral surface of the partition cylinder 13 and is difficult to clean. Therefore, use the partition cylinder 13 to clean the ink alone and use the pen barrel 1 to clean the pigments alone.
[0024] Furthermore, the upper layer plates 5 in each pen clamping means are all integrally connected. The integrally arranged upper layer plates 5 can be detached and attached simultaneously, improving the detachment and attachment efficiency of the device.
[0025] The pen holder with a multi-functional pen barrel that does not require a pen washer described in the present invention has the advantages of effectively satisfying the functions of hanging, washing, and moistening a plurality of writing brushes with different calibers at the same time, having a wide application range, many functions, and good stability.
