Conical nib and writing instrument using the same

摘要

A nib, among other parts which constitute a writing instrument, is made of a synthetic resin material in which engineering plastic is used. An ink supply wick includes a wick cover. An outer shape of a wick cover is determined such that it is attached to an outer periphery of the ink supply wick between the nib and the ink supply wick and is made to closely adhere to an inner periphery of the nib at least at the tip of the nib. A space between the nib and the ink supply wick is filled with the wick cover. The nib is made of a synthetic resin material in which engineering plastic is used. Therefore, the nib wear resistant and duration of the nib or the writing instrument can be extended.

主权项

1. A conical nib which is fixed to a tip of a pen shaft including an ink reservoir and is connected to the ink reservoir via an ink supply wick having a capillary action, the nib comprising: a holder member formed in a tubular shape; and a plurality of combtooth-shaped pieces provided at one end side of the holder member, the plurality of combtooth-shaped pieces being shaped to form a substantially hemispherical tip and being converged gradually toward the tip in a substantially conical shape, the nib being formed in a conical shape including a writing tip at a tip thereof and ink feed paths formed between adjacent combtooth-shaped pieces,
wherein the nib is made of a synthetic resin material in which engineering plastic, among other plastic, is used.
