Abstract
A compass writing implement includes a compass body having two compass legs mutually pivotable between closed and splayed-out states. A writing lead is mounted in one of the compass legs. A protective cap is or can be fitted onto the free end of at least the compass leg holding the writing lead, to shield the free ends of the two compass legs in the closed state from the outside. The protective cap has a passage for the writing lead at a distal end remote from the compass body in the fitted state. The writing lead and the fitted protective cap are mutually displaceable between a release state and a retention state. In the release state, a lead tip of the writing lead protrudes through the passage of the protective cap to the outside and in the retention state, the writing lead is retracted in the interior of the protective cap.
Claims12
A compass writing implement, comprising:
- a compass body including two compass legs having free ends and being mounted pivotably relative to one another between a closed state and a splayed-out state;
- a writing lead held on one of said compass legs and having a lead tip;
- and
- a protective cap fitted or to be fitted onto said free end of at least said ends of both of said compass legs for shielding and securing said compass legs from the outside in said closed state with said protective cap;
- said protective cap having an interior, a distal end remote from said compass body in a fitted state and a passage in said distal end for said writing lead;
- and
- said writing lead and said fitted protective cap being displaceable relative to one another between:
- a release state in which said lead tip of said writing lead projects through said passage to the outside, and
- a retention state in which said writing lead is retracted in said interior of said protective cap.
