A pen comprising a pen body (1) and a pen point (3) releasably arranged in the pen body, and a part (4) which is removably arranged on the pen body (1). The part (4) is arranged for squeezing engagement with the pen point (3), for removing the same by the action of forces between the part (4) and the pen point (3). A method for removing the pen point and a clip for holding the pen are also described.
Claims16
A pen comprising:
- a pen body;
- a pen point which is releasably arranged in the pen body;
- a removable cap which protects the pen point;
- and
- a clip which is arranged on the cap with a flat side facing away from the cap, a through hole being defined by a clip portion in said flat side,
- wherein the through hole provides for insertion and angling of the pen point to bring it into squeezing engagement therewith, whereby the pen point is removable from the pen body by the action of forces between the clip portion and the pen point.
A method for removing a pen point in a pen comprising a pen body and a pen part which is removably arranged on the pen body, said method comprising the steps of:
- removing the pen part from the pen body;
- inserting the pen point into a through hole defined by a portion of the pen part;
- bringing the pen point into squeezing engagement with said portion by angling of the pen point and the pen part relative to each other;
- and
- manipulating the pen part to extract the pen point from the pen body under action of forces between said portion and the pen point.
A pen comprising:
- a pen body;
- a pen point which is releasably arranged in the pen body;
- and
- a clip which is detachably arranged on the pen body, a through hole being defined in a portion of the clip,
- wherein the through hole provides for insertion and angling of the pen point to bring it into squeezing engagement therewith, whereby the pen point is removable by the action of forces between the clip portion and the pen point.
A dual-function clip for holding a pen when carried in a user's pocket and for removing a pen point arranged in the pen body, said dual-function clip comprising:
- an elongate holding part;
- and
- an engaging means in the form of a through hole which is defined by a portion of the holding part, wherein the through hole provides for insertion and angling of the pen point to bring it into squeezing engagement therewith, whereby the pen point is removable from the pen body by the action of forces between the engagement means and the pen point.
