Abstract
Manual device (200), comprising a casing (212) having a first distal end (12-1) and a second distal end (12-2), a first head (16A) and a second head (16B) that are movable axially between a use position and a retracted position, and a single mechanism (214) that is configured to bring the first head (16A) and the second head (16B) from the retracted position to the use position and vice versa, the mechanism (214) comprising at least one carriage (214A1, 214A2) having at least one head selected from the first head and the second head (16A, 16B) and a single spring (214B).
Claims20
A manual writing device extending in an axial direction and comprising a casing having a first distal end and a second distal end opposite the first distal end in the axial direction, a first head that is movable axially between a use position in which the first head projects from the casing, from the first distal end and a retracted position in which the first head is retracted in the casing, a second head that is movable axially between a use position in which the second head projects from the casing, from the second distal end and a retracted position in which the second head is retracted in the casing, and a single mechanism configured to bring the first head and the second head from the retracted position to the use position and vice versa, the single mechanism comprising at least one carriage having at least one head selected from the first head and the second head and a single spring, the first head and the second head being mounted in a common axial portion of the manual writing device, wherein the single mechanism comprises at least one toothed ring forming a rotating cam cooperating with the at least one carriage.
A manual writing device extending in an axial direction and comprising a casing having a first distal end and a second distal end opposite the first distal end in the axial direction, a first head that is movable axially between a use position in which the first head projects from the casing, from the first distal end and a retracted position in which the first head is retracted in the casing, a second head that is movable axially between a use position in which the second head projects from the casing, from the second distal end and a retracted position in which the second head is retracted in the casing, and a single mechanism configured to bring the first head and the second head from the retracted position to the use position and vice versa, the single mechanism comprising at least one carriage having at least one head selected from the first head and the second head and a single spring, the first head and the second head being mounted in a common axial portion of the manual writing device, wherein the single mechanism is a mechanism comprising at least one spiral cam track.
A manual writing device extending in an axial direction and comprising a casing having a first distal end and a second distal end opposite the first distal end in the axial direction, a first head that is movable axially between a use position in which the first head projects from the casing, from the first distal end and a retracted position in which the first head is retracted in the casing, a second head that is movable axially between a use position in which the second head projects from the casing, from the second distal end and a retracted position in which the second head is retracted in the casing, and a single mechanism configured to bring the first head and the second head from the retracted position to the use position and vice versa, the single mechanism comprising at least one carriage having at least one head selected from the first head and the second head and a single spring, the first head and the second head being mounted in a common axial portion of the manual writing device, wherein the first head is a writing body whilst the second head is an element configured to cooperate with a touch screen, and the manual writing device further comprises a button configured to cooperate with the element configured to cooperate with a touch screen only when the element configured to cooperate with a touch screen is in the use position.
