Abstract
A writing instrument with sound and illumination functions has a case with an ink cartridge. A chamber is mounted on the case. A buzzer and an IC board are installed in the chamber. The IC board has an LED mounted on the upper surface and two battery seats with a battery in each seat mounted on the bottom surface. When writing, the circuit consisting of the buzzer, the LED, the IC board and the batteries is completed so that the LED emits light and the buzzer makes a sound or plays music.
Claims3
An instrument for writing with sound and illumination functions, comprising:
- a case (10) have an ink cartridge (13) having a top end and a bottom end, said ink cartridge being received inside said case;
- a chamber (11) formed by two combined shells (110) and mounted on a top end of the case (10);
- a decoration (12) formed on a top end of the chamber (11);
- a buzzer (14) mounted in the chamber (11) at the top end of the ink cartridge (13);
- a cap (15) mounted on the buzzer (14);
- an IC board (16) mounted in the chamber (11) and having an LED (17) mounted on an upper surface of the IC board and extending away from the chamber (11) and into the decoration (12);
- first and second battery seats (18, 19) formed on a bottom surface of the IC board and each battery seat (18, 19) having a battery (20) installed in the seat (18, 19), and a resilient conducting lever (180) integrally formed on the first battery seat (18) and extending towards the second battery seat (19) but not electrically connecting with the battery (20) in the second battery seat (19), and the bottom of the resilient conducting level (180) resting on the cap (15), wherein leads of the LED (17) are electrically connected to the batteries (20), and further electrically connected to the buzzer (14);
- whereby, when writing, the bottom end of the ink cartridge (13) presses against a sheet of paper causing the top end of the ink cartridge to press upwards against the cap (15) that presses against the resilient conducting lever (180) that makes an electrical connection with the battery (20) in the second seat (19), and the LED (17) and the buzzer (14) are switched on.
