Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a holding pen, and more particularly, to a holding pen that can be fixed to a recording medium such as paper, memo paper, etc.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, writing tools such as ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, signature pens, etc. are widely used simply as tools for performing only the writing function. However, users often use various forms of paper such as memo paper, notebooks, receipts, etc. together when writing, and there is a possibility that such paper may be lost or it may be inconvenient to organize during the process of carrying or storing them separately.

[0003] Along with this, there have been proposals for pens equipped with clips so that the writing tool and paper can be carried together, and various forms of writing tools having a structure capable of sandwiching paper. For example, a method of fixing paper using a clip formed on the outside of the pen or temporarily fixing memo paper through a simple clamping structure is used.

[0004] However, such a structure according to the prior art has limitations in that the fixing force is not sufficient, so the paper is easily detached, or only a small amount of thin paper cannot be fixed. Also, when the thickness or quantity of the paper increases, problems such as difficulty in insertion or a decrease in the gripping feeling of the writing tool may occur.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a new structure of writing tool that can stably fix papers of various thicknesses and quantities, prevent damage to the paper, and provide a convenient gripping feeling and excellent usability (feeling of use) to the user.

[0006] The background art of the present invention is disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Republic of Korea Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2793793 (registered on April 4, 2025, invention name: Knock-type writing tool)).

[0033] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a holding pen according to one embodiment of the present invention with paper inserted, and Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view showing a holding pen according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the holding pen 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a pen body portion 100, a support portion 200, a wing portion 300, and a holding portion 400.

[0035] The pen body 100 may have a storage space for accommodating a pen tip. In one embodiment, the pen body 100 may be formed as a knock-type structure with a button on the upper end or side, allowing the pen tip to be pulled out or stored inside by the user's operation. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be implemented in various forms, such as a cap-type structure that protects the pen tip by opening and closing a lid, or a twist-type structure that extends and retracts the pen tip by rotating a part of the body. Furthermore, the pen in this invention is not limited to a specific writing instrument, and can be used with a variety of writing means, including not only general ballpoint pens but also mechanical pencils, pencils, felt-tip pens, highlighters, and more.

[0036] In one embodiment, one outer surface of the body of the pen body 100 may be formed flat, and the other surface continuous with the flat surface may be curved. Furthermore, the inner surface of the body of the pen body 100 may be formed with a circular cross-section to facilitate the smooth insertion and movement of the pen tip. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the overall shape of the pen body 100 can be modified to various forms such as a rectangular prism, a cylindrical shape, or a polygonal prism.

[0037] The support portion 200 can be coupled to the outside of the pen body portion 100. The support portion 200 can perform the function of supporting the wing portion 300, which will be described later. According to one embodiment, the support portion 200 may be formed in a "C" shape in cross-section and arranged to wrap around the outer curved surface of the pen body portion 100. In this case, the open side of the support portion 200 is positioned to face the flat surface of the pen body portion 100, thereby minimizing interference when the user grips it and maintaining a stable coupling state. The support portion 200 may be formed integrally with the pen body portion 100, or it may be formed from a separate member and then coupled by various coupling methods such as welding, bolting, fitting, and engagement. The support portion 200 may be formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the pen body portion 100. The support portion 200 may be formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the pen body portion 100, and as a result, the wing portion 300 can be supported over a wider area. However, the shape and length of the support portion 200 are not limited thereto, and can be varied in various ways to correspond to the shape of the pen body portion 100. In addition, they can be designed and implemented in various structures without being bound by a specific shape.

[0038] A pair of wing sections 300 may be provided, each extending from both ends of the support section 200 so as to be separated from each other. The wing sections 300 may be formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the support section 200. In this case, a space may be formed between the pair of wing sections 300 into which a sheet of paper 10 can be inserted and accommodated. In this embodiment, the case in which a sheet of paper 10 is inserted will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a variety of objects that can be written on or recorded on, such as notebooks, diaries, memo paper, and cards, can be inserted. In one embodiment, the pair of wing sections 300 may be formed so that the distance between them gradually decreases. Furthermore, the pair of wing sections 300 may be configured to have an elastic force in the direction toward each other, and specifically, when an external force is applied in the direction toward separating the wing sections 300 from each other, an elastic force may be generated by the restorative force of the material itself that causes them to converge toward each other again. With such a structure, when a sheet of paper 10 is inserted between the wing sections 300, the elastic force of the wing sections 300 can pressurize the paper 10 and keep it stably maintained. Furthermore, if the thickness or quantity of paper 10 increases, the wings 300 can be elastically deformed outward, allowing the spacing between them to expand fluidly, thus accommodating paper of various thicknesses or multiple sheets of paper without any additional adjustments.

[0039] A pair of wing sections 300 can be curved and extended from both ends of the support section 200. Specifically, each wing section 300 can be formed to be concave in a direction toward each other. In one embodiment, when a user holds the holding pen 1, they can hold it with their thumb and index finger positioned on the support section 200 and the wing sections 300 facing their palm. On the other hand, if the extended length of the wing sections 300 becomes relatively longer due to an increase in the size or quantity of paper 10 to be contained, the user can also hold it with their thumb and index finger positioned on the wing sections 300 and the support section 200 facing their palm. In this case, the curved shape of the wing sections 300 allows the user's fingers to rest naturally, providing a stable grip even during prolonged use. Thus, by configuring the pen to allow for a variety of grip positions, the user can select the optimal gripping method according to the size of their hand, their writing habits, or the condition of the paper 10, thereby improving writing convenience and stability of use.

[0040] Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of a holding pen according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3, another embodiment of the present invention, the holding pen 1, has a structure in which the wing portion 300 is rotatably coupled to the support portion 200, and in addition, it can include a return member 350. Since the other components are substantially the same as the embodiment described above and below, the following description will focus on the return member 350, which is a component that differs from the embodiment.

[0042] Each wing section 300 can be rotatably connected to the support section 200. Specifically, the wing section 300 and the support section 200 can be rotatably connected by a pivot shaft that passes through the wing section 300 and the support section 200, thereby allowing the wing section 300 to rotate within a predetermined angular range with respect to the support section 200. However, such a connection structure is merely an example and can be substituted and implemented by various known rotational connection methods, such as hinge-type structures and pin connection structures.

[0043] A return member 350 is provided between the support 200 and the wing 300, and can provide an elastic force in the direction that brings the pair of wing 300 closer together. Specifically, the return member 350 may be a torsion spring positioned to wrap around the axis of rotation, with one end connected to the support 200 and the other end connected to the wing 300. Accordingly, when the wing 300 rotates away from its initial position due to an external force, the return member 350 undergoes torsional deformation, and the elastic energy accumulated by this torsion provides a restoring force that returns the wing 300 to its initial position. The user can rotate the wing 300 away from each other to easily insert thick paper 10 or multiple sheets of paper 10, and after paper insertion, when the external force is removed, the wing 300 can automatically return to its original position and move toward the paper 10 due to the elastic force of the return member 350. This allows for the stable storage of paper 10 of various thicknesses and quantities.

[0044] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of AA' in Figure 2. Referring to Figure 4, a pair of holding sections 400 may be provided, each holding section 400 may extend from the end of each wing section 300, and the distance a between them may be formed to be narrower than the distance b between the pair of wing sections 300. With this configuration, when the paper 10 is inserted between the pair of holding sections 400, a portion of the paper 10 can pass through the holding sections 400 and be accommodated in the space formed between the pair of wing sections 300. At the same time, the pair of holding sections 400, which are relatively close together, can stably fix the paper 10 in place by elastically pressing on both sides of the paper 10, preventing it from coming loose.

[0045] The holding portion 400 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a holding surface 410, a first guide surface 420, and a second guide surface 430.

[0046] The holding surface 410 can be formed to project toward the other wing portion 300, using the inner surface of one wing portion 300 as a reference. That is, a pair of holding surfaces 410 are formed to project toward each other from their respective wing portions 300, and the paper 10 can be inserted between them. In one embodiment, the holding surface 410 can be a flat surface. Accordingly, when the paper 10 is inserted, surface contact can be made between the holding surface 410 and the paper 10, and as the contact area increases, the frictional force increases, allowing the paper 10 to be held more stably. Such a structure can effectively prevent the paper 10 from slipping or coming loose. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the holding surface 410 can be modified into various forms as needed, such as a curved surface, a surface with irregularities, or a surface to which an elastic material is applied. Such modifications can be selectively applied for the purpose of further improving the frictional force and holding force, taking into consideration the material and thickness of the paper 10, the usage environment, etc.

[0047] The first guide surface 420 may be formed at an angle from the front end of the holding surface 410. Here, the front of the holding surface 410 means the direction in which the wing portion 300 extends from the support portion 200, that is, the direction in which the inserted paper 10 is released, and for example, with reference to Figure 4, it may correspond to the downward direction of the holding surface 410.

[0048] The pair of first guide surfaces 420 are formed to be continuous with the front ends of each holding surface 410 and may be formed to widen in a direction in which the distance between them gradually increases. That is, the first guide surfaces 420 have an inclined structure that expands outward, which can naturally form an insertion path for the paper 10. With such a structure, when the paper 10 is inserted into the space between the holding surfaces 410, the paper 10 first comes into contact with the first guide surface 420, and thereafter can be guided along the inclined surface and gradually led into the narrow space between the holding surfaces 410. Therefore, the user can easily insert the paper 10 without going through a separate alignment process, and snagging or damage during the insertion process can be prevented. Such a configuration of the first guide surfaces 420 can contribute to improving the convenience of paper insertion and overall usability.

[0049] The second guide surface 430 may be formed at an angle from the rear end of the holding surface 410. Here, the rear of the holding surface 410 means the direction in which the paper 10 is inserted, and may correspond to the upward direction of the holding surface 410, for example, with reference to Figure 4.

[0050] The pair of second guide surfaces 430 are formed to be continuous with the rear ends of each holding surface 410, and may be formed in a direction in which the separation distance between them gradually increases. That is, the second guide surfaces 430 may have an inclined structure that extends outward. With such a structure, even if the paper 10 has variations in thickness, is partially folded, or has a protruding shape, the thicker or protruding parts of the paper 10 can be naturally guided along the second guide surfaces 430 when it is released to the outside. For example, when multiple sheets of paper 10 stacked together or paper 10 that is partially folded is pulled out to the outside while it is contained in the space between the pair of wings 300, the second guide surfaces 430 can enable smooth ejection while mitigating interference. Therefore, the second guide surfaces 430 can prevent snagging and damage that may occur during the paper 10 ejection process, and contribute to improving overall usability by enabling smooth ejection of paper in various conditions.

[0051] The holding portion 400 according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a holding projection 411.

[0052] Multiple holding protrusions 411 may be provided, and each holding protrusion 411 may be formed to protrude from the holding surface 410. That is, in one embodiment, the holding protrusions 411 may be formed to protrude toward the opposing holding surface 410 on each holding surface 410. With such a configuration, when the paper 10 is positioned between the holding surfaces 410, the local contact pressure increases, and consequently, the frictional force increases, which can further improve the holding force of the paper 10.

[0053] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing a holding projection according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] Referring to Figure 5, in other embodiments, each holding projection 411 can be embodied not as a simple protruding structure but as a rotatable roller 412. In this case, the roller 412 is rotatably coupled to the holding surface 410, and its axis of rotation can be positioned along the longitudinal direction of the holding surface 410. For example, with reference to Figure 2, the axis of rotation of the roller 412 can be formed along the vertical direction of the holding surface 410. With such a roller structure, when the paper 10 is inserted into the space between the holding surfaces 410, the roller 412 rotates and smoothly guides the movement of the paper 10. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the paper 10 from bending or being damaged due to excessive friction during the insertion process, and at the same time, sufficient fixing force can be ensured by the protruding structure of the roller 412 after insertion is complete.

[0055] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of BB' in Figure 2. Referring to Figure 6, the holding pen 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a grip projection 500.

[0056] Multiple grip projections 500 may be provided, and each grip projection 500 may be formed to protrude outward from the circumferential surface of the wing portion 300 and the support portion 200. Such grip projections 500 can increase frictional force when in contact with the user's fingers, thereby preventing slippage and enabling a more stable grip.

[0057] According to one embodiment, the grip projection 500 can be selectively positioned in the area of ​​the wing portion 300 and the support portion 200 that faces the pen tip. That is, it can be positioned in the area where the thumb and index finger are mainly located when the user holds the holding pen 1. For example, if the user holds the pen with their thumb and index finger on the support portion 200 and the wing portion 300 facing the palm, the grip projection 500 formed on the support portion 200 can provide sufficient frictional force while contacting the thumb and index finger, creating a stable grip. Conversely, if the user holds the pen with their thumb and index finger on the curved portion of the wing portion 300 and the support portion 200 facing the palm, the grip projection 500 formed on the wing portion 300 can perform the same role and ensure gripping stability. In this way, by selectively acting on the grip projection 500 to accommodate the user's various gripping methods, shaking during writing can be minimized, and fatigue can be reduced even during prolonged use.

[0058] A holding pen 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include an impact-absorbing member 600.

[0059] The shock-absorbing member 600 may be positioned between the pen body 100 and the holding portion 400, and may be made of a material that is elastically deformable. In one embodiment, the shock-absorbing member 600 may be made of a sponge material, but is not limited thereto, and various elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, and foamed resin can be used.

[0060] The shock-absorbing member 600 can be positioned in a region of the outer surface of the pen body 100 where one surface is flat. That is, it can be attached to or integrally formed with the surface in the direction from the pen body 100 toward the holding portion 400. With this arrangement, as the paper 10 moves into the inner space of the wing portion 300 after being inserted between the pair of holding portions 400, the leading or trailing edge of the paper 10 can come into contact with the shock-absorbing member 600. At this time, the shock-absorbing member 600 can prevent the trailing edge of the paper 10 from bending or being damaged by excessive pressure by mitigating the impact through elastic deformation. Therefore, the shock-absorbing member 600 can perform a protective function for the paper 10 and contribute to improving overall usability by acting as a buffer during the insertion process.

[0061] Although this invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, these are merely illustrative examples, and a person with ordinary skill in the art will understand that a variety of modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true scope of technical protection of this invention should be defined by the following claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
