This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0094748, filed on Jul. 29, 2022, and the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0084678, filed Jun. 30, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a multi-pen, and more particularly, to a multi-pen capable of conveniently supplying pencil leads in a multi-pen provided with a sharp pencil.
In general, a multi-pen is a ballpoint pen in which several colored ink leads are bundled into one pen, and recently, a product bundled with a sharp pencil together also has been released.

Referring to
Conventionally, after the body part 100 and the cover part 106 are separated from each other in order to supplement the pencil leads, the pencil pipe 112 and the pencil exposure part 114 coupled to the lower side are separated from each other, and then the pencil lead 110 needs to be added to the lower side of the pencil pipe 112, and thus, there is a very cumbersome problem.
In order to solve the problems of the related art, the present disclosure provides a multi-pen capable of increasing the convenience of supplying pencil leads.
To achieve the above object, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a multi-pen including: an upper body; a lower body detachably coupled to a lower side of the upper body; at least one ink lead and a pencil pipe accommodated in the upper body and the lower body; a pencil knob coupled to an upper side of the pencil pipe and having a first through hole formed therein; a cover detachably provided at an upper side of the pencil knob; and a pencil exposure part exposed to the outside of the lower body according to an operation of the pencil knob, in which a pencil lead is supplied to the pencil pipe from the upper side of the pencil knob through the first through hole.
An extension direction of the first through hole may be formed in the same direction as the extension direction of the pencil pipe.
An inner diameter of the first through hole may have a size equal to or larger than an outer diameter of the pencil pipe.
The first through hole may have a round shape with a predetermined diameter.
The pencil knob may be formed of a transparent material, and a pattern may be displayed on the outside so that an image displayed on the outside varies according to a length of the pencil lead inserted therein.
A second through hole through which the pencil lead passes may be formed inside the cover, and a lower diameter of the second through hole may be formed to have a size smaller than an upper diameter thereof.
According to the present disclosure, since the cover of the pencil knob formed on the upper side of the body may be opened to supply the pencil leads, it is possible to increase convenience in supplying the pencil leads.
Since the present disclosure may be variously modified and have several embodiments, specific embodiments will be illustrated in the accompanying drawings and be described in detail in a detailed description. However, it is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to a specific embodiment, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions included within the spirit and technical scope of the present disclosure.
The terms used in the present specification are used only to describe specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Singular forms include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should be understood that the terms “include” or “have” used in the present specification specify the presence of features, numerals, steps, operations, components, parts described in the specification, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numerals, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
In addition, components of the embodiments described with reference to each drawing are not limitedly applied only to the corresponding embodiment, and may be implemented to be included in other embodiments within the scope of maintaining the technical spirit of the present disclosure. In addition, it goes without saying that these components may also be re-implemented as one embodiment in which a plurality of embodiments are integrated, even if a separate description is omitted.
In addition, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, regardless of reference numerals, the same components will be given the same or related reference numerals and duplicate description thereof will be omitted. When it is decided that the detailed description of the known art related to the present disclosure may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure, a detailed description therefor will be omitted.
As shown in
According to the embodiment, a pencil knob 312 having a first through hole 310 is coupled to the upper side of the pencil pipe 306, and a detachable cover 314 is provided on the upper side of the pencil knob 312.
When a clip for easily mounting the multi-pen is provided on the side of the upper body 300, the pencil knob 312 according to the embodiment may also be integrally formed with the clip.
Preferably, an extension direction of the first through hole 310 according to the embodiment may be the same as the extension direction of the pencil pipe 306, but is not limited thereto, and the first through hole 310 may have a round shape having a predetermined diameter (more than a preset diameter) in a direction from top to bottom.
At this time, it is preferable that the first through hole 310 is formed in the same direction as the extension direction of the pencil pipe 306 from the upper side to the lower side of the first through hole 310.
Thus, even when the cover 314 forms a predetermined angle with the upper body 300 as in
In addition, an inner diameter of the first through hole 310 has a size equal to or larger than an outer diameter of the pencil pipe 306 so that the pencil knob 312 and the pencil pipe 306 are tightly fitted.
According to the embodiment, the lower end of the first through hole 310 is fitted while surrounding the upper side of the pencil pipe 306, and the pencil lead to be supplied from the upper side of the first through hole 310 is accommodated in the pencil pipe 306 according to the gravity.
The pencil knob 312 according to the embodiment not only serves to expose the pencil exposure part 308 to the outside of the lower body 302 according to the user's operation, but also serves as a pencil lead supply passage while having the first through hole 310, thereby further improving the user's operation and the convenience of supplying the pencil lead.
Accordingly, it is possible to increase convenience of supplying the pencil lead by supplying the pencil lead through a simple process without separating the upper body and the lower body, and separating the pipe and the pencil exposure part as in the related art.
According to the embodiment, considering the fact that it is difficult to check the number or length of the pencil lead inside the pencil pipe 306 due to the characteristics of the multi-pen, the pencil knob 312 may be formed of a transparent material, and a predetermined pattern 320 may be formed on the outside.
As shown in
Referring to
As such, the forming of the second through hole 330 in the cover 314 is to supply the pencil lead through the cover 314 toward the pencil knob 312 and the pencil pipe 306 without an operation of removing the cover 314.
At this time, it is preferred that a lower diameter d1 of the cover 314 is formed to have a size smaller than an upper diameter d2 thereof so as to prevent the pencil lead in the pencil pipe 306 from being exposed to the outside depending on a position of the multi-pen. The embodiments of the present disclosure described above have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, and those skilled in the art with ordinary knowledge of the present disclosure will be able to make various modifications, changes, and additions within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and these modifications, changes, and additions should be regarded as falling within the scope of the following claims.
