Writing implement holder

Abstract

Compact cases such as card cases and employee ID cases do not have a writing implement holder, and writing implements must be carried separately. When you need to take notes, you often do not have a writing implement, and are unable to respond quickly. On the other hand, conventional writing implement holders are often designed exclusively for writing implements with clips, and are glued and fixed to notebook covers, etc., and are not removable. In addition, they often cannot be adjusted depending on the diameter of the writing implement. Therefore, the present application aims to provide a writing implement holder that can be attached and detached to either the vertical or horizontal storage pocket of a card case, regardless of whether the pen has a clip or not, or the size of the diameter. A plate-shaped storage pocket insertion portion and a cylindrical writing implement gripping portion are formed adjacent to each other using an elastic material, and the storage pocket insertion portion is formed with a member for attaching to a vertical storage pocket such as a card case.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a writing instrument holder, and more particularly to a writing instrument holder that can be attached to, for example, a card case, a business card holder, an employee ID case, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Writing implements are used when writing letters or pictures in a notebook, etc., and it is preferable to carry writing implements with you, but pen cases are bulky, and if you put a writing implement by itself in a bag, it is inconvenient because you may lose it in the bag or stain other belongings with ink. On the other hand, card cases, business card holders, employee ID cases, etc. are compact in themselves, so there are almost no holders for writing implements, and there were no compact holders for writing implements that could be attached or detached from these cases. However, in business situations, it is preferable to always carry a writing implement and have it ready for quick use.

[0003] The "pen holder" described in Patent Document 1 is a holder specifically for pens, with an attachment clip.

[0004] The "pen holder" described in Patent Document 2 consists of a cylindrical pen fixing part and an attachment part having an adhesive layer.

[0005] The "stationery cover" described in Patent Document 3 has a hole in the cover for attaching a pen holder.

[0006] The "card holder" described in Patent Document 4 is a card holder with a pen holder section provided on the strap hook section. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-102152 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2015-024646 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2002-370490 A [Patent Document 4] Utility Model Registration Publication No. 3152855 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] If you store your writing implements separately from your notebook or diary, you will often have to search for your writing implement when you want to take a note. Also, if you carry your writing implement by clipping it to your diary or diary, it can come off or get caught in your bag, which is inconvenient.

[0009] Writing implement holders play a major role in improving convenience by allowing you to take notes immediately when necessary.

[0010] On the other hand, in cases where there is no need to hold a writing implement, if the writing implement holder is attached in advance to a notebook cover or the like, it becomes an unnecessary part that gets in the way and looks bad. In addition, the diameter of writing implements is not uniform, and some writing implements do not have a clip. Writing implement holders that secure pens with a cylindrical part have a fixed diameter of the cylindrical part, so pens with a larger diameter than this diameter cannot be inserted into the cylindrical part, and conversely, pens with a smaller diameter than the cylindrical part and no clip cannot be secured in place.

[0011] Therefore, the "pen holder" described in Patent Document 1 cannot hold a writing implement without a clip, and the "pen holder" described in Patent Document 2 requires the attachment part to be glued to a book cover or the like, and is not removable. Also, the "stationery cover" described in Patent Document 3 requires a dedicated attachment hole to be formed in the cover to be attached, and does not have the versatility to be attached to existing card cases, etc., like the writing implement holder of the present application. Furthermore, the "card holder" described in Patent Document 4 is inconvenient because the diameter of the pen that can be attached is limited.

[0012] Furthermore, there are no compact storage cases such as card cases and business card holders that have a writing implement holder.

[0013] Therefore, the object of this application is to provide a writing implement holder that can be detachably attached to either the vertical or horizontal pocket of a card case, regardless of whether the pen has a clip or not, or regardless of the size of the pen's diameter. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] In order to solve the above problem, claim 1 provides an elastic The plate-shaped material having the above structure is folded and overlapped. The storage pocket insertion portion and the cylindrical writing implement gripping portion are formed adjacent to each other, and a member for attaching a vertical storage pocket such as a card case is formed in the storage pocket insertion portion.

[0015] In claim 2, a plate-shaped material is folded and stacked to form a tubular writing instrument gripping portion, a U-shaped notch is formed at a desired location of the storage pocket attachment portion connected to the tubular writing instrument gripping portion, and the flap formed by the notch is used as an attachment member for the vertical storage pocket of a card case.

[0016] In claim 3, the upper and lower edges of the cylindrical writing instrument gripping portion are cut out at an angle to make it easier to insert the writing instrument and to enable the writing instrument itself to be gripped with the writing instrument holder attached. Effect of the Invention

[0017] Card cases and employee ID cards are generally compact in size and are often carried with you at all times. By attaching a writing implement to these, you can carry your writing implement with you at all times in a neat and tidy manner, and you can quickly take out the writing implement when you need it to take notes.

[0018] Although it has a simple structure, the writing implement can be detachably attached by being inserted into a storage pocket for cards or the like formed in either the vertical or horizontal direction of a card case or business card holder.

[0019] The diameter of the writing implement gripping portion can be changed by how it is inserted into the edge of the storage pocket of a card case or the like. In other words, if the diameter of the writing implement is small, inserting it deeply into the storage pocket will press the cylindrical gripping portion against the edge of the storage pocket, narrowing the diameter of the cylindrical gripping portion and allowing the writing implement to be securely gripped. Therefore, regardless of the size of the diameter of the writing implement, the writing implement can be securely attached to a card case or the like with the writing implement holder.

[0020] Furthermore, the writing instrument can be held by the writing instrument holder regardless of whether or not the writing instrument has a clip.

[0021] Since the card holder can be inserted into either a horizontal or vertical storage pocket, it can be attached to any type of card case you may have, making it versatile, and it is also highly convenient because it can be easily attached and detached. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 11] FIG. 13 is a front view showing another embodiment of the writing implement holder; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The best mode for carrying out the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0024] Fig. 1 is a front view of the writing implement holder 1, and Fig. 2 is a rear view. The writing implement holder 1 is composed of a writing implement holding section 2, where a writing implement is inserted and held, and a storage pocket insertion section 3, where a storage pocket of a card case is inserted. The dotted lines indicate sewing stitches 5. Also, a vertical storage pocket attachment strip 4 is provided so that it can be used with a vertical storage pocket. In this embodiment, the writing implement holder 1 is made of leather. Card cases and business card holders are often made of leather, and by making the writing implement holder from the same leather material, it can be attached to the card case without any sense of incongruity, and it can present a unified aesthetic look.

[0025] The manufacturing method of the writing implement holder of the present application will be described. First, pieces of leather are layered and sewn together into a generally rectangular shape to form the writing implement gripping portion 2 into a cylindrical shape.

[0026] Furthermore, the insertion port 2a of the cylindrical writing implement gripping portion is cut out in an arc shape that slopes from top to bottom toward the outside. By cutting out the insertion port 2a, it becomes easy to attach and remove the writing implement.

[0027] In addition, the lower end 3a of the writing instrument gripping portion is cut out in an arc shape that slopes from top to bottom toward the inside. By cutting out the lower end 3a larger than the arc of the insertion port 2a, when the writing instrument holder 1 is removed from the card case with a writing instrument inserted, the writing instrument or the writing instrument holder 1 can be held directly with the fingers and used even with the writing instrument holder 1 attached. In particular, with writing instruments with a thin diameter, it is more stable to hold the writing instrument together with the writing instrument holder of the present application.

[0028] In addition, even if the writing implement attached to the writing implement holder 1 is placed on an inclined desk, it will not roll and can be kept in the desired position. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of design, it gives a neat impression.

[0029] In addition, the vertical storage pocket attachment strip 4 is formed by making a U-shaped cut at a predetermined position before sewing the plate-shaped leather fabric.

[0030] The material used for the writing implement holder 1 is preferably an elastic material. For example, it may be a plate-shaped material such as leather, synthetic leather, rubber, synthetic resin, cloth, polyurethane, or metal. This is because it is desired that the writing implement holder portion has a certain degree of hardness in a thin plate shape in order to be attached to the pocket of the holder, and that the writing implement holder portion has some degree of contractibility in order to hold the writing implement.

[0031] Furthermore, leather gives a luxurious feel, and not only does it have a rolling prevention function even when the writing implement holder is removed while still holding the writing implement, but it also has an excellent design.

[0032] The method of manufacturing the writing implement holder of the present application can be one-piece molding, or the writing implement gripping part and the case mounting part can be manufactured separately and then connected by sewing, etc. Furthermore, metal and hard paper can be manufactured by punching or laser cutting, and synthetic resin can be manufactured by injection molding, etc. Furthermore, as long as a finished product that exhibits the structure and function of the present invention can be produced, the material or composition of the product is not important.

[0033] Figure 3 shows the types of writing instruments that can be stored in the writing instrument holder 1. Any type of writing instrument can be accommodated, specifically including ballpoint pens, mini pens, mechanical pencils, markers, touch pens, etc., and can also accommodate writing instruments with and without clips, as shown in Figures 3a and 3b.

[0034] If the writing implement has a clip 6, the writing implement can be held more securely by clipping the clip 6 into the insertion port 2a of the writing implement gripping portion 2, and the writing implement can be prevented from falling.

[0035] In addition, it is desirable for the writing instrument gripping portion to be made of a material that has elasticity or contractibility so that it can expand and contract to a certain extent, but by making structural improvements in the present invention, it is possible to adjust how deeply or shallowly the writing instrument is inserted into the storage pocket, thereby enabling the writing instrument to be securely gripped.

[0036] In addition, the gripping function can be improved by using a material or structure with high friction, such as a non-slip material, on the inside of the gripping part of the writing instrument. In particular, if the writing instrument is made of leather, the back side of the leather has a suede-like texture, which creates high friction and also provides a non-slip effect.

[0037] By forming the storage pocket attachment portion to have as large an area as possible, the writing implement holder can be held by the entire storage pocket.

[0038] Now, we will explain how to use the writing implement holder of the present invention. Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which a ballpoint pen 7 is inserted from the upper opening of the writing implement holder 1 and the clip 6 is fitted into the opening edge of the insertion port 2 to hold the ballpoint pen 7.

[0039] Fig. 5 is a front view of a typical card case, business card holder, etc. The writing implement holder of the present application is not a writing implement such as a pen case, but is intended to allow a user to easily take notes whenever a writing implement is needed, and is convenient to carry. That is, the writing implement can be attached to a card case, business card holder, or employee ID card, which are expected to be carried at all times in business situations.

[0040] The card case in Figure 5 is a standard-sized card case made by sewing together two sheets of leather fabric, approximately 65 mm in height and 100 mm in width, and has storage pocket 9 consisting of a slit formed between the two sheets of leather, and storage pockets 10 and 11 formed on at least one side.

[0041] The writing implement holder 1 holding the writing implement 2 is inserted into the storage pocket 9 of this card case 8. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the writing implement holding part 2 of the writing implement holder is positioned at the top of the card case 8, and the writing implement can be attached to the card case. The insertion depth of the storage pocket attachment part can be adjusted according to the depth of the storage pocket, and the writing implement being held can be adjusted according to the depth of the storage pocket. Even if the diameter of the writing implement is small, by inserting it deeply into the storage pocket, the writing implement can be securely fixed between the entrance edge of the storage pocket and the writing implement gripping portion.

[0042] In FIG. 6, a writing instrument without a clip is being held, but regardless of whether or not the writing instrument has a clip, the writing instrument can be attached to the card case using the writing instrument holder. Next, a method for attaching the writing implement holder to a card case having a vertical storage pocket will be described.

[0043] The writing implement holder of the present invention is pre-formed with a strip 4 for inserting into the vertical storage pocket. In this embodiment, a part of the leather is cut into a U-shape to form the strip, and the writing implement holder is attached to the card case by inserting the strip into the storage pocket, but as long as the structure allows for attachment to the storage pocket, it is not limited to a strip formed by cutting, and an attachment member may be attached to the writing implement holder later, as described below.

[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, the insertion strip 4 is cut out into an approximately rectangular shape, but this shape is not limited to this and any shape that allows it to be attached to a storage pocket and maintain its position can be used.

[0045] First, a ballpoint pen 7 is attached to the writing instrument gripping portion 2 of the writing instrument holder 1. The insertion strip 4 of the writing instrument holder 1 is inserted into one of the storage pockets 13, 14, or 15 of the vertical card case 12 shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the attached state. By sliding the insertion strip 4 over the upper edge of the storage pocket 14, it is possible to place the writing instrument on the periphery of the card case 12. By sliding the insertion strip 4 inserted into the storage pocket 14 to the right in FIG. 9, the diameter of the writing instrument gripping portion 2 holding the writing instrument 7 inserted therein is pressed against the periphery of the card case 12 and narrows, so that the writing instrument 7 can be securely gripped.

[0046] Furthermore, even if the writing implement has a small diameter and does not have a clip, the writing implement holder of the present invention can be attached to the card case while securely holding the writing implement.

[0047] In Figure 10, the writing implement 16 is a thin ballpoint pen with no clip and a small diameter, but by forming the insertion portion of the storage pocket of the writing implement holder of the present invention not to be roughly rectangular but to have a small area, or by cutting the lower edge at an angle, not only is it easier to insert, but it can also be inserted deep into the card case. As a result, the writing implement is clamped between the writing implement holder and the edge of the storage pocket of the card case.

[0048] In another embodiment of the writing implement holder, as shown in Fig. 11, the storage pocket insertion part 18 of the writing implement holder 17 is formed to have approximately the same shape and size as a card. By making the storage pocket insertion part 18 larger, friction increases, the writing implement is securely held, and the effect of preventing it from falling out is improved.

[0049] The attachment member for the vertical card case does not have to be formed integrally with the writing implement holder, and for example, the attachment member can be attached to a predetermined position with a snap button or the like. By making the attachment member removable, the attachment member can be removed when the card case to which the writing implement holder is attached is a horizontal storage pocket. If the snap button attached to the writing implement holder is a female button, the thickness is not increased and a neat appearance is maintained.

[0050] In addition, if the writing implement holder is manufactured by gluing together the core material such as cardboard or plastic, it can be used even with soft materials such as cloth, and writing implements with a variety of designs, colors, and patterns can be used. A holder can be provided.

[0051] In another embodiment, by attaching it to the storage pocket of an employee ID case that has a strap and attaching a writing instrument holder near the hanging part, you can carry a writing instrument with you at all times without feeling uncomfortable, and when necessary, you can quickly take notes without having to search for a writing instrument. [Industrial Applicability]

[0052] It can be used for card cases and business card holders with storage sections for cards and business cards, employee ID cases with straps, and notebook covers with similar storage pockets. [Explanation of symbols]
