  • the felt-tip pens For refilling, the felt-tip pens must first be removed from the lid openings, then the lid must be opened, whereupon the ink can finally be poured onto the ink pad from its own storage container. To avoid refilling too often, the user is tempted to pour as much ink as possible onto the ink pad, which often results in more ink being filled than the ink pad can hold.

Despite the presence of the relatively large amount of ink in the ink container, there is a relatively good leak-proofness since the ink is now transported from the absorbent body to the absorbent pad due to the capillary action, which means that the liquid ink that is not stored in a fiber material cannot leak out of the ink container if this falls over.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Tintentopf für Filzschreiber zur Beschriftung von Plakaten o. dgl., mit einem Tintenbehälter und einem Deckel mit mindestens einer Öffnung zur Aufnahme eines Filzschreibers, wobei in dem Tintenbehälter ein gegen den Behälterboden ragender und kurz über diesem endender Saugstutzen angebracht ist, in dessem Inneren sich ein Saugkörper befindet, der oben von einem mit dem Saugkörper in Kontakt stehenden Farbkissen überdeckt ist, gegen das der in die betreffende Deckelöffnung eingesteckte Filzschreiber anliegt.The invention relates to an ink pot for felt pens for labeling posters or the like, with an ink container and a lid with at least one opening for receiving a felt pen, wherein in the ink container a protruding against the bottom of the container and ending just above this is attached , in the interior of which there is an absorbent body, which is covered at the top by a paint cushion in contact with the absorbent body, against which the felt-tip pen inserted into the relevant lid opening lies.

Bei einem aus der DE-OS 29 07 531 bekannten Tintentopf ist der Tintenbehälter nahezu vollständig von einem aus Filz bestehenden Farbkissen ausgefüllt, das stets gut mit Tinte getränkt gehalten werden muß. Die Filzschreiber sind bei diesem Tintentopf bei Nichtgebrauch in die Öffnungen im Deckel gesteckt, und sie ragen so weit in das Innere des Tintentopfs, daß sie mit dem in ihrem Schreibkopf angebrachten Filz das mit Tinte getränkte Farbkissen berühren. Der Schreibfilz kann sich auf diese Weise bei Nichtgebrauch des Filzschreibers durch Kontakt mit dem Farbkissen mit Tinte vollsaugen, so daß der Filzschreiber stets gebrauchsbereit gehalten wird. Da beim bekannten Tintentopf der Innenraum des Tintenbehälters nahezu vollständig von dem aus Filz bestehenden Farbkissen ausgefüllt ist, ist die Tintenaufnahmekapazität begrenzt, so daß häufig Tinte nachgefüllt werden muß. Zum Nachfüllen müssen dabei zunächst die Filzschreiber aus den Deckelöffnungen herausgenommen werden, dann muß der Deckel geöffnet werden, worauf schließlich die Tinte aus einem eigenen Vorratsbehälter auf das Farbkissen gegossen werden kann. Um ein zu häufiges Nachfüllen zu vermeiden, ist der Benutzer versucht, möglichst viel Tinte auf das Farbkissen zu gießen, was häufig dazu führt, daß mehr Tinte eingefüllt wird als das Farbkissen aufnehmen kann. Wenn ein solcher gerade frisch gefüllter Tintenbehälter aus Versehen einmal umfällt, kann die Tinte sofort durch die Öffnungen im Deckel ausfließen, was zu äußerst unangenehmen Verschmutzungen führen kann, die nur schwer und häufig gar nicht mehr zu beseitigen sind. Der bekannte Tintentopf ist somit sowohl hinsichtlich der Tintenaufnahmekapazität als auch hinsichtlich seiner Handhabung nicht völlig befriedigend.In an ink cup known from DE-OS 29 07 531, the ink container is almost completely filled by an ink pad made of felt, which must always be kept well soaked with ink. The felt pens of this ink pot are inserted into the openings in the lid when not in use, and they protrude so far into the interior of the ink pot that they touch the ink pad soaked with ink with the felt attached in their writing head. The writing felt can soak up when the felt pen is not in use by contact with the ink pad with ink, so that the felt pen is always ready for use. Since in the known ink cup the interior of the ink container is almost completely filled by the ink pad made of felt, the ink holding capacity is limited, so that ink often has to be refilled. For refilling, the felt-tip pens must first be removed from the lid openings, then the lid must be opened, whereupon the ink can finally be poured onto the ink pad from its own storage container. To avoid refilling too often, the user is tempted to pour as much ink as possible onto the ink pad, which often results in more ink being filled than the ink pad can hold. If such a freshly filled ink container accidentally falls over, the ink can immediately flow out through the openings in the lid, which can lead to extremely unpleasant soiling that is difficult and often impossible to remove. The known ink cup is therefore not entirely satisfactory either in terms of the ink holding capacity or in terms of its handling.

Diese Nachteile sind bei einem aus der dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zugrundegelegten US-A-2 620 499 bekannten Tintentopf bereits vermieden. Diese Vorveröffentlichung beschreibt einen Tintentopf für Filzschreiber zur Beschriftung von Plakaten o. dgl., mit einem Tintenbehälter und einem Deckel mit einer einzigen Öffnung zur Aufnahme eines Filzschreibers, wobei in dem Tintenbehälter ein gegen den Behälterboden ragender und kurz über dieserrr-endender Saugstutzen angebracht ist, in dessen Inneren sich ein Saugkörper befindet, der oben von einem mit dem Saugkörper in Kontakt stehenden Farbkissen überdeckt ist, gegen das der in die betreffende Deckelöffnung eingesteckte Filzschreiber anliegt.These disadvantages are already avoided in an ink cup known from the preamble of claim 1 US Pat. No. 2,620,499. This prior publication describes an ink pot for felt pens for labeling posters or the like, with an ink container and a lid with a single opening for receiving a felt pen, wherein an ink nozzle protruding against the bottom of the container and ending just above it is attached in the ink container, in the interior of which there is a suction body, which is covered at the top by a color pad in contact with the suction body, against which the felt-tip pen inserted into the relevant lid opening lies.

Bei diesem bekannten Tintentopf kann allerdings nur ein einziger Filzschreiber eingesteckt werden. Ein ähnlicher Tintentopf ist aus der französischen Patentschrift 2 089 754 vorbekannt.With this known ink pot, however, only a single felt tip pen can be inserted. A similar ink cup is previously known from French patent specification 2,089,754.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Tintentopf zu schaffen, der die gleichen Vorteile wie die bekannten Tintentöpfe bietet, insbesondere eine große Tintenkapazität hat, zusätzlich aber die Aufnahme mehrerer Filzschreiber ohne Gefahr der Verschmutzung durch auslaufende Tinte ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating an ink pot which offers the same advantages as the known ink pots, in particular has a large ink capacity, but additionally allows the recording of several felt-tip pens without the risk of contamination from leaking ink.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß zur gleichzeitigen Aufnahme mehrerer Filzschreiber sich der Saugstutzen an seinem oberen Ende in Form eines Trichterkegels nach oben zu erweitert, in den hinein der Saugkörper zur Bildung eines Saugtrichters verlängert ist, daß der Außenrand dieses Trichterkegels mit der Innenwand des Tintenbehälters in Kontakt steht, wobei die Kegelöffnung von dem Farbkissen überspannt ist. und daß im Deckel innerhalb des durch die Trichterkegelöffnung abgegrenzten Flächenbereiches eine der Anzahl der aufzunehmenden Filzschreiber entsprechende Anzahl von Öffnungen vorgesehen ist, so daß alle in diese Öffnungen eingesteckten Filzschreiber das Farbkissen gemeinsam kontaktieren.According to the invention this object is achieved in that for the simultaneous inclusion of several felt pens, the suction nozzle at its upper end in the form of a funnel cone extends upwards, into which the suction body is extended to form a suction funnel, that the outer edge of this funnel cone with the inner wall of the Ink container is in contact, the cone opening is spanned by the ink pad. and that a number of openings corresponding to the number of felt-tip pens to be accommodated is provided in the lid within the area delimited by the funnel cone opening, so that all felt-tip pens inserted into these openings contact the ink pad together.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Tintentopf schafft der im Tintenbehälter befindliche Saugtrichter einen freien Raum, der mit Tinte gefüllt sein kann. Die Zufuhr der Tinte aus diesem Raum zum Farbkissen erfolgt durch den im Saugtrichter angebrachten Saugkörper, der das Farbkissen, mit dem die Schreibfilze der Filzschreiber bei Nichtgebrauch in Kontakt stehen, ständig mit Tinte getränkt hält. Da der Tintenbehälter nicht mehr vom Farbkissen nahezu vollständig ausgefüllt ist, ist seine Tintenaufnahmekapazität groß. Trotz des Vorhandenseins der relativ großen Tintenmenge im Tintenbehälter besteht eine relativ gute Auslaufsicherheit, da die Tinte nun aufgrund der Kapillarwirkung vom Saugkörper zum Saugkissen transportiert wird, was bedeutet, daß die flüssige, nicht in einem Fasermaterial gespeicherte Tinte nicht aus dem Tintenbehälter auslaufen kann, wenn dieser umfällt. Zusätzlich dazu gewährleistet die Trichterkegelform am oberen Ende des Saugstutzens die gleichzeitige Aufnahme mehrerer Filzschreiber, die das Farbkissen gemeinsam kontaktieren. Wenn der Tintenvorrat im Tintenbehälter aufgebraucht ist, wird der ganze Tintenbehälter mit dem Saugtrichter, dem Saugkörper und dem Farbkissen als Einheit durch einen neuen, gefüllten Tintenbehälter ersetzt, so daß sich das lästige Nachfüllen von Tinte erübrigt. Die Verschmutzungsgefahr wird dadurch ganz erheblich herabgesetzt.In the ink cup according to the invention, the suction funnel located in the ink container creates a free space which can be filled with ink. The ink is supplied from this room to the ink pad through the suction body in the suction funnel, which keeps the ink pad with which the felt-tip pens are in contact with ink when not in use. Since the ink tank is no longer almost completely filled by the ink pad, its ink holding capacity is large. Despite the presence of the relatively large amount of ink in the ink container, there is a relatively good leak-proofness since the ink is now transported from the absorbent body to the absorbent pad due to the capillary action, which means that the liquid ink that is not stored in a fiber material cannot leak out of the ink container if this falls over. In addition, the shape of the funnel cone at the upper end of the suction nozzle ensures that several felt-tip pens can be received at the same time. When the ink supply in the ink tank is used up, the entire ink tank with the suction funnel, the suction body and the ink pad is replaced as a unit by a new, filled ink tank, so that the annoying refilling of ink is unnecessary. This considerably reduces the risk of contamination.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nun unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen :

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Tintentopfs nach der Erfindung mit drei in Öffnungen im Deckel eingesetzten Filzschreibern,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie 11-11 von Fig. 1, wobei zur Vereinfachung der Darstellung nur einer der Filzschreiber in den Deckel des Tintentopfs eingesetzt ist,

  • Fig. 4 einen dem Schnitt von Fig. 2 entsprechenden Schnitt einer zweiten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Tintentopfs.
Embodiments of the invention will now be explained with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows:
  • 1 is a perspective view of an ink pot according to the invention with three felt pens inserted in openings in the lid,
  • 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 of FIG. 1, only one of the felt-tip pens being inserted into the cover of the ink pot to simplify the illustration,
  • Fig. 3 is a section along the line III-III of Fig. 2, and
  • Fig. 4 is a section corresponding to the section of Fig. 2 of a second embodiment of the ink cup according to the invention.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Tintentopf 1 enthält ein Gehäuse 2, in das ein nur in Fig. 2 zu erkennender Tintenbehälter 3 eingesetzt ist. In einem mit dem Gehäuse 2 verbundenen Deckel 4 befinden sich Öffnungen 5, 6, 7, in die Filzschreiber 8, 9 bzw. 10 eingesetzt sind. Die Filzschreiber weisen jeweils einen Schreibkopf 11, 12, 13 und einen Schaft 14, 15, 16 auf. Die Schreibköpfe 11, 12, 13 sind zur Aufnahme verschieden großer Schreibfilze unterschiedlich geformt, was das Beschriften von Plakaten mit unterschiedlich breiten Schriften ermöglicht. Der genaue Aufbau eines Filzschreibers wird anhand von Fig. 2 für den Filzschreiber 8 noch genauer erläutert.The ink pot 1 shown in FIG. 1 contains a housing 2, into which an ink container 3, which can only be seen in FIG. 2, is inserted. In a cover 4 connected to the housing 2 there are openings 5, 6, 7 into which felt pens 8, 9 and 10 are inserted. The felt pens each have a writing head 11, 12, 13 and a shaft 14, 15, 16. The writing heads 11, 12, 13 are shaped differently to accommodate writing felts of different sizes, which enables the writing of posters with fonts of different widths. The exact structure of a felt-tip pen is explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2 for the felt-tip pen 8.

In der Wand des Tintenbehälters 3 ist ein Sichtfenster 17 angebracht, und in der Wand des Gehäuses 2 befindet sich ein Schlitz 18, dessen Abmessungen mit denen des Sichtfensters übereinstimmen. Durch den Schlitz 18 und das Sichtfenster 17 ist es möglich, den Tintenfüllstand im Tintenbehälter zu erkennen.A viewing window 17 is provided in the wall of the ink container 3 and there is a slot 18 in the wall of the housing 2, the dimensions of which correspond to those of the viewing window. Through the slot 18 and the viewing window 17, it is possible to recognize the ink level in the ink tank.

In der Schnittansicht von Fig. 2 sind die Einzelheiten des Aufbaus des Tintentopfs von Fig. 1 zu erkennen. Der in das Gehäuse 2 eingesetzte Tintenbehälter 3 enthält einen Saugtrichter 20 mit einem Trichterkegel 21 und einem Saugstutzen 22. Der Außenrand 23 des Trichterkegels 21 steht mit der Innenwand des Tintenbehälters 3 in Kontakt ; er greift in eine in der Innenwand des Tintenbehälters 3 angebrachte Nut 24 ein. Der Tintenbehälter ist aus einem Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt, das geringfügig elastisch verformbar ist ; dadurch kann der aus starrem Material bestehende Saugtrichter ohne weiteres so weit von oben her in den Tintenbehälter gedrückt werden, bis der Außenrand des Saugtrichters 20 in die Nut 24 einrastet. Der Saugtrichter 20 wird dadurch sicher im Tintenbehälter 3 festgehalten. Das Innere des Saugtrichters 20 ist mit einem Saugkörper 25 ausgefüllt, der aus einem vorwiegend aus Längsfasern zusammengesetzten Vliesmaterial besteht. Bei den Fasern des Saugkörpers handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Polyesterfasern. Über dem Trichterkegel 21 des Saugtrichters 20 ist ein Farbkissen 26 angebracht, das mit dem Saugkörper 25 in Kontakt steht. Das Farbkissen 26 besteht aus einem Filzmaterial. Zum Verankern des Farbkissens 26 im Tintenbehälter 3 wird ein Haltering 27 verwendet, der so auf dem Farbkissen 26 angebracht ist, daß sein Außenrand 28 in eine Nut 29 in der Wand des Tintenbehälters 3 eingreift. Die Nut 29 ist in einem der Dicke des Farbkissens 26 entsprechenden Abstand über der Nut 24 angebracht. Das Anbringen des Halterings 27 im Tintenbehälter 3 bereitet infolge der Verformbarkeit des Tintenbehälters 3 keine Schwierigkeiten. Der Haltering 27 kann am Rand auch einstückig mit dem Trichterkegelrand verbunden sein, wobei dann die Nut 29 weggelassen werden kann.In the sectional view of Fig. 2, the details of the structure of the ink cup of Fig. 1 can be seen. The ink container 3 inserted into the housing 2 contains a suction funnel 20 with a funnel cone 21 and a suction nozzle 22. The outer edge 23 of the funnel cone 21 is in contact with the inner wall of the ink container 3; it engages in a groove 24 provided in the inner wall of the ink container 3. The ink tank is made of a plastic material that is slightly elastically deformable; as a result, the suction funnel, which is made of rigid material, can easily be pressed into the ink container from above until the outer edge of the suction funnel 20 engages in the groove 24. The suction funnel 20 is thereby securely held in the ink container 3. The inside of the suction funnel 20 is filled with a suction body 25, which consists of a nonwoven material composed predominantly of longitudinal fibers. The fibers of the absorbent body are preferably polyester fibers. A paint pad 26 is attached above the funnel cone 21 of the suction funnel 20 and is in contact with the suction body 25. The ink pad 26 is made of a felt material. To anchor the ink pad 26 in the ink container 3, a retaining ring 27 is used, which is attached to the ink pad 26 such that its outer edge 28 engages in a groove 29 in the wall of the ink container 3. The groove 29 is arranged at a distance corresponding to the thickness of the ink pad 26 above the groove 24. The attachment of the retaining ring 27 in the ink container 3 presents no difficulties due to the deformability of the ink container 3. The retaining ring 27 can also be connected in one piece to the edge of the funnel cone, in which case the groove 29 can be omitted.

Der Raum unterhalb des Saugtrichters 20 ist im ungebrauchten Zustand des Tintenbehälters 3 nahezu vollständig mit Tinte gefüllt. Der Saugkörper 25 transportiert die Tinte durch Kapillarwirkung nach oben zum Farbkissen 26, so daß dieses ständig mit Tinte getränkt behalten wird. Durch das Farbkissen 26 und den Haltering 27 wird der Tintenbehälter 3 vollständig verschlossen, so daß keine Tinte auslaufen kann, wenn der Behälter versehentlich umgeworfen wird. Das Farbkissen 26 ist zwar ständig mit Tinte getränkt, doch dauert es selbst dann, wenn der Tintenbehälter 3 mit dem Farbkissen nach unten gehalten wird, relativ lange, bis das Farbkissen 26 so stark mit Tinte gesättigt wird, daß sich Tropfen von ihm ablösen. Ein direktes Ausfließen der Tinte findet unter keinen Umständen statt.The space below the suction funnel 20 is almost completely filled with ink when the ink container 3 is not in use. The absorbent body 25 transports the ink by capillary action upwards to the ink pad 26, so that it is constantly kept soaked with ink. The ink container 3 is completely closed by the ink pad 26 and the retaining ring 27, so that no ink can leak if the container is accidentally knocked over. The ink pad 26 is constantly soaked with ink, but even if the ink container 3 is held with the ink pad down, it takes a relatively long time until the ink pad 26 becomes saturated with ink so that drops detach from it. Under no circumstances will the ink flow out directly.

In Fig. 2 ist auch der Aufbau des Filzschreibers 8 zu erkennen. Dieser Filzschreiber 8 ist in die Öffnung 5 im Deckel 4 eingesetzt. Zum sicheren Halten ist an die Öffnung 5 eine nach innen ragende Führungshülse 31 angesetzt. Diese Führungshülse 31 ist in Anpassung an den konisch ausgebildeten Schreibkopf 11 ebenfalls konisch. An die Öffnungen 6 und 7 im Deckel 4 sind ebenfalls Führungshülsen 32 bzw. 33 angesetzt, die der Aufnahme der Schreibköpfe 12 bzw. 13 dienen. Die konische Ausbildung der Schreibköpfe und der Führungshülsen hat den Vorteil, daß die Filzschreiber beim Abnehmen des Deckels 4 vom Gehäuse 2 nicht durch die Öffnungen fallen, sondern zusammen mit dem Deckel 4 vom Gehäuse 2 abgehoben werden können.The structure of the felt-tip pen 8 can also be seen in FIG. This felt-tip pen 8 is inserted into the opening 5 in the cover 4. For secure holding, an inwardly projecting guide sleeve 31 is attached to the opening 5. This guide sleeve 31 is also conical in adaptation to the conical write head 11. Guide sleeves 32 and 33 are also attached to the openings 6 and 7 in the cover 4 and serve to accommodate the write heads 12 and 13, respectively. The conical design of the print heads and the guide sleeves has the advantage that the felt pens do not fall through the openings when the cover 4 is removed from the housing 2, but can be lifted off the housing 2 together with the cover 4.

Der Schreibkopf 11 des Filzschreibers 8 besteht aus einem Griffstück 34, einer Klemmhülse 35 und einem Schreibfilz 36. Das Griffstück 34 hat eine konische Außenform. Die Innenfläche des Griffstücks 34 verläuft ebenfalls konisch und steht mit der konischen Außenfläche der Klemmhülse 35 in Kontakt. Der Schaft 14 des Filzschreibes 8 ist rohrartig ausgebildet, und er enthält einen Speicherkörper 37 aus saugfähigem Vliesmaterial. In das vom Schreibkopf abgewandten Ende des Schafts 14 ist ein Verschlußstück 38 eingeschraubt.The writing head 11 of the felt-tip pen 8 consists of a handle 34, a clamping sleeve 35 and a writing felt 36. The handle 34 has a conical outer shape. The inner surface of the handle 34 is also conical and is in contact with the conical outer surface of the clamping sleeve 35. The shaft 14 of the felt pen 8 is tubular and it contains a storage body 37 made of absorbent nonwoven material. A closure piece 38 is screwed into the end of the shaft 14 facing away from the write head.

Der Schaft 14 ist mit dem Griffstück 34 verschraubt, wobei, wie aus Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist. im festgeschraubten Zustand der Schreibfilz 36 so weit in den Schaft 14 ragt, daß er den Speicherkörper 37 berührt. Der Schaft 14 ist so dimensioniert, daß er beim Einschrauben in das Griffstück 34 auf die Klemmhülse 35 drückt, was infolge der konischen Ausgestaltung der Klemmhülse 35 und der Innenfläche des Griffstücks 34 dazu führt, daß der Schreibfilz 36 sicher im Schreibkopf 11 festgeklemmt wird.The shaft 14 is screwed to the handle 34, whereby, as can be seen from FIG. 2. in the screwed-in state, the writing felt 36 protrudes so far into the shaft 14 that it touches the storage body 37. The shaft 14 is dimensioned so that when it is screwed into the handle 34, it presses on the clamping sleeve 35, which as a result of the conical configuration of the clamping sleeve 35 and the inner surface of the handle 34 leads to the felt 36 being securely fixed in the writing head 11 gets stuck.

Der Schreibfilz 36 steht mit dem Farbkissen 26 in Kontakt, wenn der Filzschreiber 8 in die Öffnung 5 eingesetzt ist. Auf diese Weise wird dafür gesorgt, daß der Schreibfilz 36 des Filzschreibers 8 stets mit Tinte vollgesaugt ist. Der Schreibfilz 36 transportiert die ihm vom Farbkissen 26 zugeführte Tinte bis zum Speicherkörper 37, der sich dadurch ebenfalls mit Tinte vollsaugt. Der Filzschreiber 8 kann daher relativ lange eingesetzt werden, bevor ihm wieder Tinte aus dem Farbkissen 26 zugeführt werden muß. Wenn sich die Schreibspitze des Schreibfilzes 36 abgenutzt hat, wird der Schreibkopf 11 vom Schaft 14 abgeschraubt, und es wird ein neuer Schreibkopf eingesetzt ; ein Anfassen des Schreibfilzes 36 ist dabei nicht erforderlich, so daß sich der Benutzer die Finger nicht mit Tinte verunreinigt. Der Speicherkörper 37 verbliebt dabei im Schaft 14, so daß der neue Schreibfilz 36 schnell wieder bis zur Erreichung des schreibfähigen Zustandes mit Tinte vollgesaugt ist.The writing felt 36 is in contact with the ink pad 26 when the felt pen 8 is inserted into the opening 5. In this way it is ensured that the writing felt 36 of the felt-tip pen 8 is always soaked with ink. The writing felt 36 transports the ink supplied to it from the ink pad 26 to the storage body 37, which thereby also absorbs ink. The felt-tip pen 8 can therefore be used for a relatively long time before it has to be fed with ink again from the ink pad 26. When the tip of the felt 36 has worn, the stylus 11 is unscrewed from the shaft 14 and a new stylus is inserted; touching the felt 36 is not necessary so that the user does not contaminate the fingers with ink. The storage body 37 remains in the shaft 14 so that the new writing felt 36 is quickly soaked with ink until the writing condition is reached.

Der Deckel 4 kann beispielsweise durch Verschrauben mit dem Gehäuse 2 verbunden sein. Vorzugsweise wird er jedoch mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses mit dem Gehäuse 2 verbunden, da dadurch der Schließ- und Öffnungsvorgang beschleunigt wird. Auch die Herstellung der Nuten und Vorsprünge für einen Bajonettverschluß ist einfacher als die Herstellung eines Schraubgewindes mit mehreren Gewindegängen.The cover 4 can be connected to the housing 2, for example by screwing. However, it is preferably connected to the housing 2 by means of a bayonet lock, since this speeds up the closing and opening process. The production of the grooves and projections for a bayonet lock is also easier than the production of a screw thread with multiple threads.

Wie im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 erläutert wurde, sind im Tintenbehälter 3 ein Sichtfenster 17 und im Gehäuse 2 ein Schlitz 18 angebracht, damit der Tintenfüllstand jederzeit kontrolliert werden kann. Der Tintenbehälter 3 muß im Gehäuse 2 jedoch eine solche Lage einnehmen, daß sich das Sichtfenster 17 genau in Deckung mit dem Schlitz befindet. Damit der Tintenbehälter stets diese vorbestimmte Lage im Gehäuse 2 einnimmt, ist an der Wand des Gehäuses 2 ein Steg 40 angebracht, und die Wand des Tintenbehälters 3 weist eine entsprechende Nut 41 auf, deren Breite und Form der Breite und der Form des Stegs 40 entspricht. Der Tintenbehälter 3 kann wegen des Vorhandenseins des Stegs 40 nur dann richtig in das Gehäuse 2 eingesetzt werden, wenn die Nut 41 den Steg 40 aufnimmt. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, daß der Tintenbehälter 3 im Gehäuse 2 stets eine vorbestimmte Lage einnimmt. Fig. 3 zeigt in einer Schnittansicht die Zusammenwirkung des Stegs 40 und der Nut 41.As was explained in connection with FIG. 1, a viewing window 17 is provided in the ink container 3 and a slot 18 is provided in the housing 2 so that the ink level can be checked at any time. The ink container 3 must, however, occupy such a position in the housing 2 that the viewing window 17 is exactly in register with the slot. So that the ink container always assumes this predetermined position in the housing 2, a web 40 is attached to the wall of the housing 2, and the wall of the ink container 3 has a corresponding groove 41, the width and shape of which corresponds to the width and shape of the web 40 . Due to the presence of the web 40, the ink container 3 can only be properly inserted into the housing 2 if the groove 41 receives the web 40. In this way it is ensured that the ink container 3 is always in a predetermined position in the housing 2. 3 shows the interaction of the web 40 and the groove 41 in a sectional view.

Falls der Tintenbehälter 3 aus einem Material besteht, durch das der Tintenfüllstand auch ohne Vorsehen eines speziellen Sichtfensters erkennbar ist, genügt natürlich bereits die Anbringung des Schlitzes 18 in der Wand des Gehäuses 2, um die ständige Kontrolle des Füllstandes zu ermöglichen.If the ink container 3 is made of a material through which the ink level can be recognized even without the provision of a special viewing window, it is of course sufficient to provide the slot 18 in the wall of the housing 2 in order to enable the level to be checked continuously.

In Fig. 4 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Tintentopfs dargestellt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Tintenbehälter 3 nicht in einem eigenen Gehäuse 2 untergebracht, auf dem dann der Deckel 4 befestigt ist. Der Deckel 4 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel vielmehr direkt mit dem Tintenbehälter 3 verbunden. Wenn bei einem Tintentopf nach diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Tintenvorrat im Tintenbehälter 3 erschöpft ist, wird der Deckel 4 aufgenommen und auf einen neuen gefüllten Tintenbehälter 3 aufgesetzt. Abgesehen von diesem Unterschied stimmt der Tintentopf von Fig. 4 mit dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Tintentopf überein, so daß auf eine weitere Beschreibung verzichtet werden kann.4 shows another embodiment of an ink pot. In this embodiment, the ink container 3 is not housed in its own housing 2, on which the lid 4 is then attached. The cover 4 is rather connected directly to the ink container 3 in this embodiment. When the ink supply in the ink container 3 is exhausted in the case of an ink cup according to this exemplary embodiment, the cover 4 is picked up and placed on a new filled ink container 3. Apart from this difference, the ink cup of Fig. 4 is the same as the ink cup shown in Fig. 2, so that further description can be omitted.

Da beim Beschriften oder Bemalen von Plakaten in der Regel mit mehreren Farben gearbeitet wird, benötigt der Benutzer gleichzeitig mehrere Tintentöpfe und entsprechende Filzschreiber für die jeweiligen Farben. Um zu vermeiden, daß beispielsweise ein Filzschreiber, dessen Schreibfilz mit schwarzer Farbe getränkt ist, versehentlich in die zugehörige Öffnung im Deckel eines mit roter Tinte gefüllten Tintentopfs eingeführt wird, können der Deckel und das Verschlußstück 38 am zugehörigen Filzschreiber jeweils in einer der Tintenfarbe entsprechenden Farbe ausgeführt sein. Die verschiedenen Farben können dadurch leicht auseinandergehalten werden, und die Zuordnung der Filzschreiber zum zugehörigen Tintentopf wird wesentlich erleichtert.Since several colors are generally used when labeling or painting posters, the user needs several ink pots and corresponding felt-tip pens for the respective colors at the same time. In order to avoid, for example, that a felt-tip pen, the writing felt of which is soaked with black paint, is accidentally inserted into the associated opening in the lid of an ink fountain filled with red ink, the lid and the closure piece 38 on the associated felt-tip pen can each be in a color corresponding to the ink color be executed. The different colors can thus be easily distinguished, and the assignment of the felt pens to the associated ink cup is made considerably easier.

Die Tintenbehälter 3 sind im ungebrauchten Zustand mit einer Siegelfolie hermetisch abgedichtet, deren Rand mit der Oberkante der Behälterwand verklebt ist. Vor dem Einführen des Tintenbehälters 3 in das Gehäuse 2 (bei der Ausführungsform von Fig. 2) oder vor dem Aufschrauben des Deckels 4 (bei der Ausführungsform von Fig. 4) wird die Siegelfolie abgezogen, so daß das Farbkissen 26 von den Schreibfilzen der Filzschreiber berührt werden kann.The ink containers 3 are hermetically sealed in the unused state with a sealing film, the edge of which is glued to the upper edge of the container wall. Before the ink container 3 is inserted into the housing 2 (in the embodiment of FIG. 2) or before the cover 4 is screwed on (in the embodiment of FIG. 4), the sealing film is peeled off, so that the ink pad 26 is removed from the felt pens' writing felt can be touched.
