Definitions

  • a writing instrument is known from CH-A-422 575, in which the writing tip via a capillary delivery line in connection with a container, in where the writing fluid is. Between The capillary delivery line runs through the container and the writing tip a room in which a sponge-like Material is arranged to remove excess liquid record, this material should be designed should not absorb the writing fluid. The however, the capillary delivery line is not in the immediate vicinity Touch with the one serving as memory sponge-like material but is from a sleeve surrounded in which a gap of 0.1 to 0.7 mm width is provided through which writing fluid passes through the spongy material can get.
  • a The peculiarity of this known writing instrument is that that because of the lack of direct contact between the capillary delivery line and the spongy material interfering with air can what is detrimental to functional reliability is.
  • the invention is based on the object to create writing instruments of the type mentioned at the outset, even with large fluctuations in air expansion and large volume of the writing fluid container works safely without uncontrolled leakage of writing fluid from the writing instrument, independently the current degree of filling of the container, occurs, the writing instrument simple and inexpensive should be producible.
  • the writing instrument 10 consists essentially of a housing 20 in which a partition 21 a container 11 for holding writing fluid 13 is arranged. It should be noted that the Partition 21 in the figures only schematically one Limit of the container 11 is intended to represent.
  • the container 11 can otherwise in any suitable manner either formed as a direct part of the housing 20 be or in the housing 20 as a separate part be arranged. From the housing 20 stands on his one end in a known manner a writing tip 15 out who are trained in any suitable way can be.
  • the housing interior 25 between the Partition 21 and the writing tip 15 is formed, becomes an unhindered via an air line 22 with the outer Air supply and discharge connected.
  • Fig. 1st Strict separation between capillary storage 16 and delivery line 14 actually does not have to prevail in reality. Rather, it can be a mixture of porous ones and / or act like fibrous agents, which always a distribution, cf. Fig. 2, on finer and larger Capillaries within the respective material that the capillary storage 16 and the delivery line 14 forms, is available.
  • the capillary memory 16 can only fill to the extent that it has a proportion of capillaries, one have higher or equal capillarity than the capillaries, that serve to promote air, i.e. all overlapping Part 26 according to FIG. 2.
  • the capillary memory 16 normally remains empty. If the temperature rises, air will expand in the container 11, writing fluid 13 through the opening 12 via the delivery line 14 in the capillary memory 16 transferred, d. H. this takes over the "excess" writing fluid in this case 13 and prevents an uncontrolled escape of the Writing fluid 13 from the writing tip 15 or the Writing implement 10.
  • the capillary memory 16 in the Area 19 of the bottom 18 of the container 11 extended. 4 differs from 6 in that, in contrast to FIG. 4, in which the capillary memory 16 is formally separate from the capillary delivery line 14, which also up to Area 19 of the bottom 18 is formed, is separated, while it is in the embodiment according to FIG. 6 a mixture of materials with larger and smaller capillaries porous material that together the form capillary storage 16 and the delivery line 14.
  • the delivery line 14 and the capillary memory as a unit Partly formed, similar to the design 6, only in the configuration of according to FIG. 5 the integral part of the delivery line 14 and capillary Memory 16 tapered to enter the opening. But it can also make sense to use the capillary Part 140 of the delivery line 14, which in the opening 12th is arranged to form as a separate part.
  • the writing instrument 10 works even with repeated transportation of the Writing fluid 13 between container 11 and capillary Memory 16 in the event of temperature fluctuations. there it is always ensured that the entire Writing fluid 13 from the capillary memory 16 in the container 11 is returned, otherwise it would the capillary memory 16 gradually overflows. Since the Conveying line 14 continuously with writing fluid 13 is wetted at least in the region of the opening 12 Air 23 does not prevent the reflux of the writing liquid 13 interrupt as always parallel to a possible one Inclusion of air a certain number of capillaries for ensure the transport of the writing fluid 13.
