| 20090205785 | CORRECTION SYSTEM WITH RUBBER ELEASTIC TENSION ELEMENT FOR A GEAR MECHANISM CORRECTION TAPE - A frictional clutch for a correction device includes a rotatable supply reel with a circular center opening and a rotatable take-up reel being laterally arranged spaced apart from the supply reel, the take-up reel having an outer circumferential surface onto which a correction tape is to be wound up and the supply reel having an outer circumferential surface from which the correction tape is to be wound off, wherein the outer circumferential surface of the supply reel is provided with a circumferential radial groove in which an elastic tensioning element is accommodated, the radial circumferential groove being at its bottom at least partially transected such that the elastic tensioning element projects into the center opening secantically, when it is in a stress-relieved condition. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090290929 | WRITING INSTRUMENT WITH CUSHIONING DEVICE - A retractable writing instrument that includes a barrel, a writing tip, an actuating mechanism that includes a plurality of parts for extending and retracting the writing tip upon actuation of the actuation member, and a cushioning device enabling a retraction of the writing tip when an excessive pressure is exerted by a user. The cushioning device includes a spring member elastically deformable, which is integrally formed with a movable part of the actuating mechanism, the part being movable relative to the barrel. The spring member has a free end abutting the barrel toward its rear end and has a through hole. A stem extends within the spring member's hole and connects the actuating member to the actuating mechanism. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090317172 | Writing Tip For Tracing Lines of Different Widths and Writing Implement Comprising Such a Tip - A capillary writing tip that includes a body extending from a base along a central axis (Z) to a peak, the body having a main face with a maximum dimension (L) measured transversally with respect to the central axis and delimited by a main base edge adjacent to the base, as well as by a first and a second substantially straight peak edge, which meet at the peak and are of respective lengths (l) less than the maximum length. The body also has a first secondary face delimited by, among other things, the first peak edge; a second secondary face delimited by, among other things, the second peak edge; the first and second secondary faces presenting a substantially straight common edge extending from the peak to a lower end adjacent to the base, the common edge having a length (m) which is different from the maximum width (L) and from the length (l) of the first and second peak edges. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100158600 | WRITING INSTRUMENT CONTAINING A GRANULAR MATERIAL IN THE INK CHAMBER - A writing instrument that includes an ink reservoir and a writing tip fluidly connected to the reservoir and through which the ink comes out during use of the instrument. The reservoir contains, in addition to the ink, grains that are separate and that may have angles and sharp edges of dimensions that are significant relative to an apparent dimension d of the grains. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100178098 | WRITING IMPLEMENT COMPRISING A DEVICE FOR VENTING THE RESERVOIR - A writing implement that includes an ink reservoir, a writing tip fluidically connected to the reservoir and through which the ink emerges during a use of the implement, and a reservoir-venting device that includes a cavity in communication with the reservoir and with an orifice open to the outside of the implement. The cavity is suitable for absorbing an overflow of ink, characterized in that the cavity is filled with separate grains having angles and sharp edges having dimensions that are significant compared with an apparent dimension d of the grains. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100322697 | Capless Writing Instrument - A writing instrument that includes a barrel extending longitudinally from a rear end to a forward end having an opening; a writing member having a writing tip at a forward end longitudinally movable inside the barrel between a retracted position and an extended position for which the writing tip projects through the forward opening; a sealing sleeve that can move longitudinally inside the barrel along a predetermined stroke between a withdrawn position and an advanced position and having rear and forward ends presenting rear and forward openings respectively, through which the writing member can slide, where the sealing sleeve is propelled between positions by the writing member when the latter is moved between the retracted and extended positions; and a closure device able to allow the passage of the writing member through the forward openings of the sleeve and barrel when the sleeve is in the advanced position, and substantially to seal off the forward opening of the sleeve when the latter is in the retracted position with the writing tip housed inside said sleeve. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110013965 | SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING A CLIP TO THE BODY OF A WRITING INSTRUMENT - A writing instrument that includes a body extending longitudinally along a central axis (X), a clip extending in parallel to the central axis (X), from a base fixed to the body up to a free end, and a first projecting member for attaching the clip, having a first lateral side extending between a base that is integral with the body and a radially distant apex. The clip includes a bar having a first end that is integral with the base of the clip, where the body includes a second projecting attachment member having a second lateral side facing the first lateral side, the second lateral side extending from a base that is integral with the body up to an upper end from which a projection extends towards the first lateral side, up to a free end. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110076087 | WRITING IMPLEMENT WITH HINGED CLIP - A writing implement that includes a tubular body that extends longitudinally along a central axis and has an outer surface, and a clip that includes an arm that extends parallel to the central axis, between a front end and a back end near which a first and a second flange extend towards the body element. The flanges are mounted on a pivot shaft in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, and around which the clip pivots between a closed position in which the arm comes in contact with the implement, and an open position. The outer surface of the body element has a first and a second sunken region, one on each side of a first longitudinal plane passing through the central axis, and from which protrude a first and a second pin both extending collinearly to the pivot shaft. | 03-31-2011 |
