Abstract

A touch-control writing tool wherein the pipe body of the touch-control writing tool has a long through hole and an opening on one end thereof. A rotating element is pivotally provided on the end of the opening of the pipe body. The writing head of a rod body goes through and protrudes from the rotating element. The rotating element drives the rod body to perform an axial displacement in the long through hole via the transmission component in the long through hole, thereby adjusting the length of the writing head outside the rotating element.

Claims

1. A touch-control writing tool, comprising:

a pipe body with a hollow interior forming a long through hole, one end of which is penetrated by the long through hole to form an opening;

a rod body, whose one end is provided with a conductive writing head with a predetermined length and flexibility, the end of the rod body different from the writing head being inserted via the opening into the long through hole of the pipe body;

a rotating element coaxial with and pivotally installed in the pipe body and partly exposed from the opening of the pipe body, the writing head of the rod body extending via the rotating element to expose from the rotating element; and

a transmission component disposed in the long through hole of the pipe body and driven by the rotating element to drive the rod body to make an axial displacement in the long through hole, thereby adjusting the length of the writing head exposed from the rotating element.

2. The touch-control writing tool of claim 1, wherein the transmission component includes a ring and a sliding sleeve with the ring fixed on the pipe body on the end of the long through hole near the opening and the sliding sleeve being inserted into the long through hole via the opening and tightly next to the ring, the ring has an inner thread, the rod body has a large diameter and a small diameter, the large-diameter part has an outer thread, the sliding sleeve has an inner hole corresponding to the diameter of the rod body, the rod body goes through the inner hole of the sliding sleeve to freely rotate and screw-mount into the inner thread of the ring, the rotating element has an extension that is hollow and extending into the long through hole of the pipe body, the end of the extension links to the sliding sleeve, the rotating element rotates concurrently with the sliding sleeve, the sliding sleeve rotates concurrently with the rod body, and the rod body is guided by the inner thread of the ring to make an axial displacement in the sliding sleeve.

3. The touch-control writing tool of claim 2, wherein the end of the extension is mounted on the surrounding of the sliding sleeve, the mounting end of the extension has a plurality of notches, the sliding sleeve is radially protruded with a plurality of protruding parts at the notches, and the rotating element uses the surroundings of the notches of the extension to urge against the protruding parts, thereby driving the sliding sleeve to rotate.

4. The touch-control writing tool of claim 2. wherein the large-diameter parts of the rod body are on opposite sides and outward curved, the small-diameter parts are on both sides of the outward curved surfaces and flat, and the diameter of the inner hold of the sliding sleeve corresponds to the diameter of the rod body.

5. The touch-control writing tool of claim 2, wherein the outer surface of the ring is a rough surface tightly urging against the inner wall of the long through hole of the pipe body.

6. The touch-control writing tool of claim 1, wherein the transmission component includes a ring and a sliding sleeve, the rotating element has an extension that is hollow and extending into the long through hole of the pipe body, the ring is fixed in the pipe body near end of the opening of the long through hole, the sliding sleeve is fixed inside the rotating element to the end of the extension in the pipe body, the ring body has an inner thread, the sliding sleeve has a round inner hole, the rod body is also round in accordance with the inner hole and has an outer thread, the rod body goes through the inner hole of the sliding sleeve and freely rotates to mount onto the inner thread of the ring, the rod body surface is formed with a long groove extending along the axial direction of the rod body corresponding to the sliding sleeve, the sliding sleeve has a protruding part protruding to the inner hole, the rotating element rotates concurrently with the sliding sleeve, the protruding part of the sliding sleeve goes into the long groove and urges against the sidewall of the long groove, thereby rotating concurrently with the rod body, and the rod body is guided by the inner thread of the ring to make an axial displacement in the sliding sleeve.

7. The touch-control writing tool of claim 6, wherein the outer surface of the ring is a rough surface that tightly urges against the inner wall of the long through hole of the pipe body, and the outer surface of the sliding sleeve is a rough surface that tightly urges against the inner wall of the extension of the rotating element.

9. The touch-control writing tool of claim 1, wherein a rubber ring is interposed between the opening end of the pipe body and the rotating element.

10. The touch-control writing tool of claim 1, wherein the writing head is comprised of a plurality of conductive bristles or integrally formed from a soft material.

8. The touch-control writing tool of claim I, wherein the inner wall of the long through hole of the pipe body is formed with a first groove near the opening, the surrounding of the extension of the rotating element is formed with a second groove that matches with the first groove, a polygonal steel ring is mounted in the second groove, and each corner of the steel ring exposes from the second groove and goes into the first groove.
