Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dedicated device for easily and beautifully winding a coating seal on the entire surface of a pencil shaft and a coating seal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Pencils have been widely used as writing instruments since ancient times, and are used almost 100% especially when schoolchildren such as elementary school students write letters in class. Even if a mechanical pencil is popular, it is generally used with a pencil, and it can be said that there is no pencil in the school children's pencil case.
[0003]
Such school children's pencils have variations in the colors and patterns on the writing shaft surface, and various character designs are used to enhance the aesthetics and develop products that appeal to hobbies and collections. .
[0004]
In addition, a person who purchases and uses a pencil has made a unique original pencil by attaching a small sticker or the like to the shaft surface according to his / her preference. In addition, it is often required to write the name of each item, such as a child in the lower grades of an elementary school. For a pencil or the like, a name sticker is attached to the writing shaft for each item. A response has been made.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional technology as described above, various types of pencils can be selected as a product group manufactured by a stationery manufacturer. There is no such thing as creating a pencil with originality.
[0006]
Even if a little original design is realized by pasting a small seal, the pasted seal is often peeled off from the end by repeated use, and this is wrapped with a transparent seal. However, it is difficult to finish it completely and beautifully by handmade. In addition, if the sticker is overlaid on the entire pencil having a normal thickness, the overall thickness increases, which may cause troubles in pencil sharpening work and the like.
[0007]
In addition, when pasting the name sticker on the writing shaft surface of the pencil for elementary school children, there is a risk that it will be peeled off from the end by repeated use. It may happen that the ink on which the ink is written smears and gets dirty when it touches the fingertip.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention was devised by repeating experiments and examinations for solving the problems in the prior art as described above, and is a dedicated device that simply and beautifully seal-coats the entire surface of the writing axis of a pencil. A coating seal is proposed, and is specifically as follows.
[0009]
(1) A seal holding unit that arranges a coating seal that is sized to cover the surface of the pencil shaft in a predetermined position, a pencil guide unit that holds the pencil to be coated by winding the held seal in an appropriate position, A pencil rotation mechanism for rotating a held pencil to wind a seal, a pencil fixing member having an adjustment mechanism for fixing a rotating pencil whose diameter has been increased by seal coating in an appropriate position; A pencil seal winding apparatus comprising a rotation operation unit for operating a pencil rotation mechanism.
[0012]
[Action]
A seal holder that places a coating seal that is sized to cover the surface of the pencil shaft in place, a pencil guide that holds the pencil to be coated by winding the held seal in place, and held Pencil rotation mechanism for rotating a pencil and winding a seal, pencil fixing member with an adjustment mechanism for fixing a rotating pencil whose diameter has been increased by seal coating in an appropriate position, pencil rotation mechanism By means of a pencil seal wrapping device comprising a rotary operation unit for operating the seal coating on the entire surface of the writing axis of the pencil, anyone can perform it in a simple and beautiful finish state.
[0013]
By preparing a special pencil coating seal with a length and width suitable for coating the entire surface of the shaft part of a pencil of a predetermined size, a pencil of a predetermined size (predetermined writing shaft length and thickness) is prepared. The seal coating can be realized without performing complicated operations such as cutting of the seal.
[0014]
Applying a decorative small seal to the surface of the pencil shaft and then winding the coating seal on the surface of the coating seal itself so that no bubbles are generated between the end of the small seal and the surface of the pencil shaft. By having elasticity, there is a case where a small multi-layer sealing material exists partially between the pencil writing shaft surface and the coating seal, and a partial multilayer structure is formed. However, even if there are slight irregularities, it can be absorbed by the elasticity of the seal, so there is a problem with the finished state of the seal coating due to bubbles entering or twisting at the boundary between the end of the small seal material and the writing shaft surface Occurrence can be prevented.
[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Some examples of the specific embodiments of the present invention described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
That is, FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining one form of a pencil seal winding apparatus according to the present invention together with its use situation.
[0016]
This pencil seal winding apparatus 1 is used for simply and reliably performing an operation of coating the entire shaft surface of the pencil 2 with a dedicated coating seal 3.
As a general procedure of this work, first, as shown in FIG. 2A, the coating seal 3 is set at a predetermined position of the seal holding part 4 with the adhesive surface facing up, and the pencil 2 is set in the pencil guide part 5. At the same time, the pencil fixing member 6 is set in order to fix the positional relationship between the pencil 2 and the coating seal 3 to a predetermined one, thereby completing the preparation for the coating operation itself. Also, the size of the coating seal 3 must be suitable for winding the writing shaft surface of the pencil 2 just once. Therefore, from the standard pencil length and writing shaft diameter size, the vertical mm × The width should be set to mm.
[0017]
Next, as shown in (b), in order to affix the small seal 7 in an appropriate arrangement on the surface of the pencil shaft for the purpose of decoration, the small seal 7 is placed at a desired location of the set coating seal 3 and the adhesive surface thereof is faced up. Arrange in the state. The small seal 7 may have any pattern, color, or shape as long as it is a commercially available thin seal. In addition, the size of the small seal 7 should be limited to a size that does not cause overlapping even when the small seal 7 is attached to the surface of the writing shaft of the pencil 2.
[0018]
If it is such a small seal 7, it is affixed to the writing shaft surface of the pencil 2 in advance, and the present invention is applied to that state to apply the coating seal 3 to the entire writing shaft. It doesn't matter. However, if the small seal 7 is pasted in advance, there is a possibility that the end of the pasted small seal 7 will be turned up or dirt may adhere to the surface. The winding finish state by the seal 3 may be difficult to be beautiful.
[0019]
When the arrangement of the decorative small seal 7 is completed in this way, as shown in (c), the rotation operation unit 8 provided at one end portion of the pencil seal winding device 1 is manually rotated, and the pencil guide unit 5 is rotated. The coating sticker 3 is wound around the pencil 2 set in, and is rotated. By rotating the rotation operation unit 8, the pencil rotation mechanism 10 constituted by a combination of a plurality of gears 9 incorporated in the pencil seal winding device 1 is driven, and is set in the pencil guide unit 5 and is set in the pencil fixing member 6. The coating seal 3 set by the pencil 2 fixed in an appropriate state is rotated while being accurately wound.
[0020]
As shown in (d), when the rotation operation unit 8 is turned by hand and the pencil 2 set in the pencil guide unit 5 is rotated once, the coating seal 3 also wraps around the surface of the writing shaft just once. The parts are slightly overlapped to complete the coating operation. At this time, the small seal 7 placed at the desired location in the stage (b) is appropriately affixed to the desired location on the surface of the pencil shaft, representing its front side, and is coated with the coating seal 3. Therefore, the end portion is not turned up and peeled off or the surface is not soiled, and a beautiful finish state is maintained.
[0021]
The coating seal 3 described above is for finish coating, and is a transparent plastic sheet material so that the writing shaft surface design of the pencil 2 itself and the surface side design of the small seal 7 placed at a desired location can be seen through the coating seal 3. It is desirable to use as a material. However, it is not necessary to be completely transparent, it may be transparent with color, or it may be with some pattern design.
[0022]
In addition, this finishing coating seal 3 absorbs this degree of unevenness so that the beautiful finish state is not impaired by the slight unevenness formed by the small seal 7 sandwiched between the pencil shaft surface. I try to use a material with some elasticity as much as possible. Due to this elasticity, the coating work is completed by slightly overlapping the ends of the coating seal 3 that are appropriately sized to wrap around the writing axis of the pencil 2 slightly. Since a certain adhesive relationship is maintained by the stretchability of the coating, it is prevented that the coating seal 3 is partially peeled from the end.
[0023]
The above describes the case where only one finish coating seal 3 is wound and coated on the surface of the writing shaft of the pencil 2, but in order to realize a more beautiful and various finished expressions, A base seal 3a is wound and coated on a pencil 2 as a base, and finish coating is performed by the finishing coating seal 3 described above, and a small seal 7 is sandwiched between the base seal 3a and the finishing coating seal 3. It may be in the form.
If the name sticker 7a is adopted as a variation of the small sticker 7, the name of a schoolchild or the like can be affixed to the pencil 2 as being beautiful and not peeled off.
[0024]
By using this base seal 3a, the state of adhesion of the small seal 7 can be improved, and the finished state of the finish coating seal 3 can be improved. Further, the base seal 3a is not necessarily transparent. That is, if it is desired to have a final finished state utilizing the writing shaft surface design of the pencil 2 itself as a base, the base seal 3 also needs to be made of a transparent material, but the writing shaft surface itself of the base pencil 2 is completely different. When it is desired to make a thing, it is possible to prepare the base seal 3a with various colors and patterns as arbitrarily selectable.
[0025]
In other words, by using such a base seal 3a, it becomes possible to freely make a pencil with a completely original design without depending on the original design of the writing axis surface of the base pencil 2. is there.
[0026]
Further, unlike the coating seal 3 for finishing, the base seal 3a in this case does not need to have elasticity. A material suitable for use as the base seal 3a is PET25 #, and a material suitable for the finishing coating seal 3 having a slight elasticity is polyolefin 100 #. If the size of the base seal 3a is that of the standard pencil 2, there is no problem as in the case of the coating seal 3 for finishing described above. This is because the finishing coating seal 3 has elasticity, so that even if the diameter of the pencil 2 is slightly increased by winding the base seal 3a, it can be sufficiently dealt with.
[0027]
When a maximum of three layers of seal coating is applied to the writing shaft surface of the pencil 2 using the small seal 7 and the finishing coating seal 3 including the base seal 3a as described above, the thickness of each seal is equivalent. Even if it can be restricted to a very thin layer, it cannot be denied that the coating layer has a thickness that is at least partially as a whole. Therefore, when the writing shaft part thickness of the pencil 2 as a base is compared with the writing shaft part thickness in the state in which the coating process according to the present invention is completed, a considerable difference has occurred, and the pencil 2 before coating and the coating after coating. It is technically difficult to rotate both the pencil 2 and the pencil 2 in the pencil guide portion 5 and smoothly rotate them while being properly fixed by the pencil fixing member 6.
[0028]
Therefore, in the pencil seal winding apparatus 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, an adjustment mechanism 11 using an elastic member such as a spring is provided at one end of the pencil fixing member 6 and set in the pencil guide unit 5. The change of the writing axis thickness of the pencil 2 can be dealt with.
[0029]
By adopting the adjustment mechanism 11 in this way, a smooth rotation operation is realized while securely fixing by the pencil fixing member 6 even if the writing shaft thickness of the pencil 2 set in the pencil guide portion 5 has a slight width. can do. Therefore, an appropriate seal coating can be realized using the pencil seal wrapping apparatus 1 of the present invention even if the pencil 2 has a standard writing shaft thickness within the adjustment range (however, in this case) Must be prepared according to the writing shaft thickness of the pencil to be coated).
[0030]
Further, as long as the adjustment function of the adjustment mechanism 11 can be followed, the pencil 2 has a circular shape as well as a generally used hexagonal shape as long as the writing shaft cross-sectional shape is circular. Seal coating is feasible.
[0031]
FIG. 2 shows a set of a pencil seal wrapping apparatus 1, a base pencil 2, a finishing coating seal 3, a base coating seal 3a, and a small seal 7 used for design decoration purposes. It is drawing which shows the state which carried out.
[0032]
In other words, several pencil seal winding devices 1 and base pencils 2, several base coating seals 3a and finishing coating seals 3, and several sets of small seals 7 using various characters and patterns are collected. By commercializing the product, the convenience of the user is achieved.
[0033]
As described above, it is undeniable that the thickness of the writing axis of the base pencil 2 increases when the base coating seal 3a, the small seal 7 and the finishing coating seal 3 are applied in layers. When considering the possibility that the pencil sharpening operation by the pencil sharpener cannot be performed slightly smoothly due to the fact that it becomes thicker than the writing axis thickness of the standard pencil in this way, the base pencil 2 used in the above set is used. It is desirable to prepare a pencil whose thickness is slightly thinner than a standard pencil.
[0034]
The small sticker 7, the base pencil 2, each coating sticker 3, 3a, etc. should be prepared with various variations, and the user should be able to purchase each single item according to individual preferences. It is natural.
[0035]
Further, in the drawing, a pencil end seal 7 b is also shown as a special form of the small seal 7. This is the shape and design of the pencil 2 so that it can be applied to one of the writing shaft end surfaces of the pencil 2 that has been finished up to the finish coating operation. It is used for the part.
[0036]
In addition, the pencil writing shaft end portion that is not used as such writing portion can be arbitrarily attached with a character-shaped member or eraser that fits the original design coating formed by the present invention. A wider range of related products can be developed.
[0037]
The pencil 2 that has been seal-coated according to the present invention has a slightly thicker writing axis than a standard pencil, and it may be possible that a normal pencil sharpener cannot perform a smooth pencil sharpening operation. Therefore, when selling a set including related peripheral products as shown in FIG. 2, the dedicated pencil sharpener 12 taking into consideration the characteristics of the coating pencil 2 according to the present invention may be put together into the set.
[0038]
Note that the pencil seal winding apparatus 1 in FIG. 2 employs an external design different from that in FIG. That is, the appearance design itself can be sufficiently realized in any shape or pattern as long as the function of the device of the present invention is satisfied. Therefore, it is possible to examine the general preference of the target user and adopt an appropriate appearance design based on the result. Also, it is naturally possible to develop products that appeal to hobbies and collections by painting various character shapes on the external design surface of the pencil seal winding device 1.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention as described above, the entire surface of the pencil writing shaft, which could not be used by general pencil users in the past, was subjected to an original design while appropriately arranging a small sticker for decoration and a name sticker. We will provide a device that can easily and beautifully perform seal coating, and at the same time, it will be possible to develop new products that include the dedicated coating seal, base pencil, and small decorative stickers. It is an invention that can stimulate new demand and is industrially highly valuable.
