Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a writing implement set that includes a writing implement case that can accommodate a plurality of writing implements. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when using a writing implement for writing, it is convenient to select from a number of different writing implements (for example, those with different writing colors, line thicknesses, compositions, and structures), and therefore pencil cases and pencil holders have been used to store and carry a number of writing implements. For example, see Patent Document 1 (Utility Model Registration No. 3067662).

[0003] A pen case like the one in Patent Document 1 can carry multiple writing implements at the same time, but when removing a writing implement from the pen case to use it, the writing implement inside cannot be seen until the lid is opened, and even when removing a writing implement from the pen case to use it, the writing implement must be removed, and then the knock or cap must be removed to expose the writing part, which means it takes time to start writing.

[0004] As a means for solving this problem, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-15725) discloses a pen set in which a pen (writing implement) can be easily removed from a holder and used. In the structure of Patent Document 2, a circumferential annular groove or annular rib is provided on the outer surface of the shaft of the pen, and the holder has axial vertical grooves that open on both lateral sides to store and hold the pen, and horizontal ribs or horizontal grooves that engage with the annular grooves or annular ribs of the pen.By moving the pen exposed from the holder along the horizontal ribs or horizontal grooves, the pen can be easily removed from the holder and used immediately, making it convenient.

[0005] However, the structure of Patent Document 2 has a problem in that only two pens can be fixed to the holder, making it impossible to carry more than two pens. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3067662 [Patent Document 2] Publication No. 6-15725 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a writing set that can store multiple writing instruments compactly with a simple structure and that allows the writing instruments and writing instrument holders to be easily removed from the case body and used. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Multiple cursive writing styles and the plurality of cursive writings. A case body having a storage section for a writing instrument to which the and, A writing set comprising: a writing tool holder detachably attached to the case body; The writing tool holder includes an attachment portion to which the writing tool is detachably attached, an attachment portion to be attached to the holder attachment portion provided on the case body, and a grip portion to be gripped when writing, the writing body has a writing part provided at one end in the axial direction and a tail cap provided at the other end, The attachment part is configured so that the writing body can be attached and detached from either one end or the other end of the writing body, and when the writing body is attached from the other end, at least a part of the writing part is exposed from the writing body holder, This writing set is characterized in that the writing instrument holder is configured to be detachable from the holder mounting portion regardless of whether the writing instrument is attached to the mounting portion from one end or the other end of the writing instrument.

[0009] According to the present invention, a writing tool holder to which a writing tool can be attached is detachably attached to the case body. By removing the writing tool holder and the writing tool from the case body and attaching the writing tool to the writing tool holder, the writing tool holder, which serves as a gripping portion when writing, can be shared and used. This allows the case body to be compact and small even when multiple writing tools are attached, making it easy to carry. Furthermore, the writing tool can be attached to the attachment portion of the writing tool holder from either the one end where the writing tool is attached or the other end where the tail cap is attached, and the writing tool holder is configured to be detachable from the case body whether attached from the one end or the other end. Therefore, when attaching or detaching the writing tool holder to the case body, if the writing tool is attached from the other end, the writing tool at the one end can be protected. If the writing tool is attached from the other end, the writing tool holder can be removed from the case body and writing can be started immediately, providing high convenience. Furthermore, the multiple writing elements attached to the case body can be combined to suit a variety of uses by attaching different writing line thicknesses, colors, and pen types (ballpoint pens, fountain pens, markers, mechanical pencils, input pens, correction pens, writing erasure tools (erasers and friction materials), etc.), which further improves convenience.If the writing element contains highly volatile ink, it is necessary to prevent the ink from drying out during storage, so it is preferable to configure the writing element so that the area around the writing part is airtight when it is attached to the case body and the writing element holder.

[0010] Furthermore, the writing material may be provided with an identification section that identifies the type of writing material when the writing material is attached to the writing material storage section and the attachment section, and in this case, the type of writing material can be determined by the identification section, making it easier to select a writing material. Note that the means for identifying the writing material with the identification section is not particularly limited, and the identification may be made possible by changing the shape or color of the identification section, or by changing the decoration using painting, printing, transfer, stickers, etc.

[0011] The identification portion may also be provided at one end or the other end of the writing element, which is preferable because the identification portion is easily visible when the writing element is attached to the case body or writing element holder.

[0012] The writing element storage section of the case body may have a locking portion that detachably locks with a locking portion provided on the tail cap of the writing element, in which case the writing element can be prevented from falling off the case body and being lost or damaged when carrying the writing element set. The means for locking the writing element to the case body is not particularly limited, and may include, but is not limited to, a slip-over fit, a light press fit, a screw fit, or a magnetic structure using a magnet.

[0013] The writing medium holder may have a plurality of attachment portions for attaching writing mediums, which is preferable because it reduces the effort required to change writing mediums. The positions for attaching writing mediums to the writing medium holder may be provided at both ends along the length of the writing medium holder, or multiple writing mediums may be arranged in parallel, but in consideration of ease of use, it is preferable to configure the holder so that two writing mediums can be attached, one at each end.

[0014] In addition, the writing instrument storage area of ​​the case body and the writing instrument holder attachment area and magnet In this case, Due to the magnetic force of the magnet This is preferable because it makes it easy to attach and detach the writing implement holder to the case body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the present invention, a writing set can be obtained which can store a plurality of writing instruments compactly with a simple structure and in which the writing instruments and the writing instrument holder can be easily removed from the case body and used.

In the longitudinal direction of the writing tool, the side with the writing part is referred to as one end or front, and the side with the tail cap is referred to as the other end or rear. Also, the side of the case body with the writing tool storage part in Figures 1 and 2 is referred to as the upper side, and the side with the holder attachment part is referred to as the lower side.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the writing set 10 of this embodiment consists of a plurality of writing elements 40, a case body 20 having a plurality of writing element storage sections 21 for holding the writing elements 40, and a writing element holder 30 detachably attached to the case body 20.

[0020] The case body 20 has a plurality of bottomed insertion holes 21a arranged evenly along the upper surface 20a from the upper surface 20a (upper side in Fig. 2) to the lower surface 20b (lower side) as the writing implement storage section 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, 15 insertion holes 21a are formed, and 15 writing implements 40 with different specifications are attached to each of them. A locking portion 21b is formed above the insertion holes 21a, penetrating to the surface of the case body 20. As shown in Figs. 3 and 8, only the lower end of the locking portion 21b is connected to the case body 20 and held by the case body 20, so that the locking portion 21b is configured to swing in a direction perpendicular to the insertion holes 21a (left and right direction in Fig. 3). Furthermore, an inner protrusion 21c that protrudes inward is formed on the side of the insertion hole 21a of the locking portion 21b, and the locked portion 43a of the writing element 40 is detachably locked to the locking portion 21b as described later. A step 21d is formed downward on the inner surface of the insertion hole 21a, and the width of the lower portion, which is the back side, is smaller than the upper portion.

[0021] A notch 24 is formed in the lower surface 20b of the case body 20, cutting out toward the top, and a holder mounting portion 22 for mounting a writing implement holder 30 is formed in the notch 24. A plate insertion hole 22a for inserting a magnetic metal plate 23 is formed in the lower center of the holder mounting portion 22, and when the plate 23 is inserted into the plate insertion hole 22a, a portion of the surface of the plate is fixed to the case body 20 and exposed from the notch 24. In addition, on both sides of the notch 24 and on the lower surface 20b of the case body 20, there are recessed spaces 22b formed in a concave shape toward the upper surface 20a, and the width of the recessed spaces 22b is formed large enough to allow the tip member 41 and tail cap 43 of the writing implement 40, which will be described later, to be inserted therein.

[0022] The writing tool holder 30 is composed of a holder body 31, an attachment portion 32 formed on the holder body 31, and a magnet 35 press-fitted into the holder body 31.

[0023] The holder body 31 is molded into a generally cylindrical shape using PC material, and has a first attachment portion 33 and a second attachment portion 34 formed on the inner periphery of both longitudinal ends as attachment portions 32 for attaching the writing element 40. The outer periphery of the holder body 31 is provided with a grip portion 31a for holding the holder when writing. In particular, the grip portion 31a may be formed with an uneven surface to provide a non-slip portion, or may be formed to be easy to grip by integrating an elastic material such as silicone or elastomer. Furthermore, the grip portions on the first attachment portion 33 side and the second attachment portion 34 side may have different specifications.

[0024] The central side surface of the holder main body 31 has a magnet mounting hole 31b formed inward, and the magnet mounting hole 31b is formed in a state of communication with the first attachment portion 33 and the second insertion portion 34. A ferromagnetic magnet 35 is press-fitted into the magnet mounting hole 31b so as to be unremovable, so that the sides of the magnet 35 are positioned at the bottoms of the first attachment portion 33 and the second insertion portion 34. The magnet 35 also functions as a receiving portion when the writing tool holder 30 is attached to the holder attachment portion 22 of the case main body 20, and the writing tool holder 35 is fixed to the plate 23 by the magnetic force of the magnet 35. The first attachment portion 33 and the second attachment portion 34 each have a front inner protrusion 33a and a front inner protrusion 34a on their inner peripheries that engage with a first flange portion 41e of the writing tool 40 (described later). The front inner protrusions 33a and 34a are formed so that the protrusions that protrude inward extend circumferentially.

[0025] The writing tool 40 of this embodiment is formed in the form of a so-called ballpoint pen. The writing body 40 is composed of a cylindrical shaft 42, a tip member 41 which serves as the writing part and is fixed by being pressed into the inner periphery of the front end (one end) of the shaft 42, and a tail cap 43 which is fixed by being pressed into the inner periphery of the rear end (the other end) of the shaft 42, and writing ink is contained inside the shaft 42.

[0026] The tip member 41 (writing part) is composed of a tip member main body 41a having an inner hole penetrating in the front-rear direction, a tip 41b press-fitted into the front part of the inner hole of the tip member main body 41a, a ball holding part 41c formed in a hole-like shape at the front part of the tip 41b, and a ball 41d serving as the writing part rotatably held in the ball holding part 41c, and has the tip structure of a general ballpoint pen in which writing ink is transferred to the writing surface as the ball 41d rotates during writing.The tip member main body 41a is further provided with a first flange-shaped part 41e and a second flange-shaped part 41f that are formed to protrude outward and extend circumferentially on the outer periphery. In particular, the first flange portion 41e is configured so that when inserted into the insertion hole 21a of the writing element storage portion 21 of the case body 20, it abuts against the step portion 21d, thereby forming an airtight portion 21e that is isolated from the outside below the step portion 21d (forward of the first flange portion 41e). Furthermore, when the writing element 40 is inserted into the first attachment portion 33 of the writing element holder 30 from the writing portion side of the tip member 41, which is one end, the first flange portion 41e engages with the front inner protrusion 33a, thereby forming an airtight portion 33b that is isolated from the outside below the front inner protrusion 33a (forward of the first flange portion 41e). Note that the first attachment portion 33 and the second attachment portion 34 are formed in the same shape, and therefore an airtight portion is similarly formed when the writing element 40 is inserted into the second attachment portion 34 from the tip member 41 side.

[0027] The tail cap 43 has a flange-like projection 43b extending circumferentially from the outer periphery of its front portion, and the flange-like projection 43b functions as a locked portion 43a that locks with the inner projection 21c of the locking portion 21b when the writing element 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 21a of the case body 20 from the end having the writing portion first. A rod-shaped body mounting hole 43c is formed at the rear end of the tail cap 43 as a hole formed toward the front, and a magnetic metallic rod-shaped body 44 is press-fitted into the rod-shaped body mounting hole 43c. Thus, when the writing element 40 is inserted into the attachment portion 32 from the tail cap 43 side, which is the other end, the magnet 35 and the rod-shaped body 44 are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby securing the writing element 40 to the writing element holder 30.

[0028] In this embodiment, the 15 writing elements 40 attached to the case body 20 each have a different color of writing ink stored in its barrel 42, and the tip member main body 41a and tail cap 43 of the writing elements 40 are molded from resin of a color similar to the color of the ink, so that the color of the writing element ink stored in the barrel can be recognized by visually checking the tip member main body 41a (tip member 41) and tail cap 43. Furthermore, when the writing element 40 is attached to the writing element storage section 21 of the case body 20 or the attachment section 32 of the writing element holder 30, the tip member 41 or tail cap 43 is configured to be exposed to the outside, so that the tip member 41 and tail cap 43 function as an identification section 45 that identifies the type of writing element 40 even when the writing element 40 is attached to the case body 20 and the writing element holder 30. The means for identifying the type of writing implement 40 is not limited to the present embodiment, and it may be possible to make it identifiable by changing the shape of the tip member 41 and the tail cap 43, or by decorating the surface (printing, painting, transferring, attaching a sticker, etc.).

[0029] Next, with reference to Figures 1 and 6 to 8, the state in which two writing instruments 40 and the writing instrument holder 30 are removed from the case body 20 and the writing instrument 40 is attached to the writing instrument holder and used will be described.

[0030] 1, when the writing element 40 is pulled upward in Fig. 1, the locking portion 21b swings toward the surface of the case body 20, releasing the lock between the inner protrusion 21c of the locking portion 21b and the flange-shaped protrusion 43b of the locked portion 43a, and the writing element 40 is removed from the case body 20 as shown in Fig. 6. Also, by grasping the writing element holder 30 from the state shown in Fig. 2 and pulling the writing element holder 30 downward against the magnetic force acting between the plate 23 and the magnet 35, the holder body 30 can be removed from the case body 20 as shown in Fig. 6.

[0031] Then, when the first (one) of the two removed writing elements 40 is inserted into the second attachment portion 34 of the writing element holder 30 from the tail cap 43 side, the rod-shaped element 44 fixed to the tail cap 43 and the magnet 35 are magnetically attracted to each other and fixed in place. At this time, the second flange portion 41f and the flange protrusion 43b of the first (one) writing element 40 slide against the inner surface of the second attachment portion 32, so that the writing element 40 is attached to the second attachment portion 32 without rattle. Furthermore, when the second (other) writing element 40 removed from the case body 20 is inserted into the first attachment portion 34 from the tip member 41 side, which is the one end side, the first flange portion 41e of the writing element 40 abuts against the front inner protrusion 33a, and the front side of the first flange portion 41e is sealed off from the outside air, forming the airtight portion 33b. Further pushing the writing element 40 causes the first flange portion 41e to climb over the front inner protrusion 33a and enter a locked state, and the other writing element 40 is fixed to the first attachment portion 43, as shown in FIG. 7. In this state, writing is possible by gripping the grip portion 31a of the writing element holder 30, and because one writing element 40 has a portion of the tip member body 41a exposed to the outside, the tip member body 41a serves as the distinguishing portion 45, and the color of the writing ink inside the barrel 42 can be identified by the color of the tip member body 41a. In addition, because the second (other) writing element 40 attached to the second attachment portion 34 has a portion of the tail cap 43 exposed to the outside, the tail cap 43 similarly serves as the distinguishing portion 45, and the color of the writing element ink inside the barrel 42 of the other writing element 40 can be identified.

[0032] 7 can be reattached to the case body 20 by the magnetic force of the magnet 35 without removing the two writing implements 40, as shown in FIG. 8. At this time, the tip member 41 (writing portion) and tail cap 43 protruding from the writing implement holder 30 are stored and protected in the recessed spaces 22b formed on both sides of the holder attachment portion 22 of the case body 20. This allows the writing implement holder 30 to be easily reattached to the case body 20 by the magnet to return it to its storage state when temporarily interrupting writing with the writing implement holder 30, and writing can be resumed immediately by removing the writing implement holder 30 again, making it extremely convenient. Note that the writing implement holder 30 is configured to be attachable to the holder attachment portion 22 of the case body 20 not only in the state shown in FIG. 7, but also with both writing implements 40 attached to the first attachment portion 33 and the second attachment portion 34 from either the tip member 41 side or the tail cap 43 side. For this reason, if writing is a priority, the writing part (tip member 41) may be left exposed when attached, or if protection and drying of the writing part (tip member 41) is desired, the tail cap 43 may be exposed and attached so that an airtight section is formed inside the writing tool holder 30. Furthermore, the writing tool holder 30 in Figure 7 does not necessarily need to be returned to the case body 20 after use; it can be magnetically attached with the magnet 35 and temporarily fixed anywhere made of a magnetic material. This makes it even more user-friendly.

[0033] As described above, in this embodiment, the writing medium holder 30, to which the writing medium 40 can be attached, is detachably attached to the case body 20, so that the writing medium holder 30 and the writing medium 40 can be removed from the case body and the writing medium 40 can be attached to the writing medium holder 30, allowing the writing medium holder 30, which serves as a grip when writing, to be shared and used. Therefore, even when multiple writing mediums 40 are attached, the size of the case body 20 can be kept small and compact, making it easy to carry around. [Explanation of symbols]
