Abstract
A wood-encased pencil for writing, sketching, drawing, and cosmetic purposes includes grip surfaces or grip nubs projecting from at least one surface thereof as handling raised structures. The structures are of a plastic material and are applied in the form of an initially flowable preparation which includes at least one plastic and that later solidifies to give the raised structures. In a first variant, the preparation is anhydrous and is of a radiation-curable plastic. In a second variant, the preparation is, likewise, anhydrous, but its solidification is based on physical drying. For such a purpose, the preparation is of an organic solvent as well as a plastic.
Claims37
A pencil for writing, sketching, drawing and cosmetic purposes, comprising:
- a pencil body having at least one surface;
- and
- raised handling structures of a plastic material disposed on said at least one surface and projecting therefrom to form grip surfaces, said structures being of an initially flowable applied anhydrous preparation of at least one radiation-curable plastic that subsequently solidifies.
A method for making a pencil for writing, sketching, drawing, and cosmetic purposes, which comprises:
- initially applying a flowable anhydrous preparation of at least one radiation-curable plastic on at least one surface of a pencil body;
- and
- allowing the preparation to solidify and produce raised handling structures forming grip surfaces projecting from the surface.
A pencil for writing, sketching, drawing, and cosmetic purposes, comprising:
- a pencil body having at least one surface;
- and
- raised handling structures of a plastic material disposed on said at least one surface and projecting therefrom to form grip surfaces, said structures being of an initially flowable applied anhydrous, physically drying preparation including an organic solvent and a plastic that subsequently solidifies.
A method for making a pencil for writing, sketching, drawing, and cosmetic purposes, which comprises:
- initially applying a flowable anhydrous, physically drying preparation including an organic solvent and a plastic on at least one surface of a pencil body;
- and
- allowing the preparation to physically dry and solidify to produce raised handling structures forming grip surfaces projecting from the surface.
