Refill for writing tool and writing tool
A plurality of inlets are defined in a circulation path between an ink reservoir and an ink absorbing member by an inlet forming part formed in the circulation path.
1. A refill for a writing tool, comprising:
an ink reservoir that stores liquid ink;
a pen tip part including a writing part at a leading end thereof, the liquid ink being supplied from the ink reservoir to the writing part;
an ink absorbing member that is connected to the ink reservoir and is configured to absorb and retain the liquid ink from the ink reservoir;
a collector that is interposed entirely between the ink absorbing member and the pen tip part and holds the liquid ink from the ink absorbing member due to a capillary action, to thereby achieve a supply balance of the liquid ink in the ink absorbing member;
an ink guiding member that is provided so as to penetrate through the collector and guides the liquid ink absorbed from the ink reservoir and retained by the ink absorbing member to the writing part of the pen tip part; and
an inlet forming part that is formed in a circulation path that is placed between the ink reservoir and the ink absorbing member and is configured to circulate the liquid ink from the ink reservoir to the ink absorbing member, the inlet forming part defining a plurality of inlets in the circulation path, wherein
the refill is inserted into a barrel that forms an exterior of the writing tool.
2. The refill for the writing tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the inlet forming part includes at least one partition part that partitions an inside of the circulation path into a plurality of regions, and
the plurality of inlets are respectively formed by the plurality of regions that are partitioned by the at least one partition part in the circulation path.
3. The refill for the writing tool according to claim 2 , wherein the partition part extends in a direction orthogonal to a central line of the circulation path.
4. A writing tool comprising:
an ink reservoir that stores liquid ink;
a pen tip part including a writing part at a leading end thereof, the liquid ink being supplied from the ink reservoir to the writing part;
an ink absorbing member that is connected to the ink reservoir and is configured to absorb and retain the liquid ink from the ink reservoir,
a collector that is interposed entirely between the ink absorbing member and the pen tip part and holds the liquid ink from the ink absorbing member due to a capillary action, to thereby achieve a supply balance of the liquid ink in the ink absorbing member;
an ink guiding member that is provided so as to penetrate through the collector and guides the liquid ink absorbed from the ink reservoir and retained by the ink absorbing member to the writing part of the pen tip part; and
an inlet forming part that is formed in a circulation path that is placed between the ink reservoir and the ink absorbing member and is configured to circulate the liquid ink from the ink reservoir to the ink absorbing member, the inlet forming part defining a plurality of inlets in the circulation path.
5. The writing tool according to claim 4 , wherein
the inlet forming part includes at least one partition part that partitions an inside of the circulation path into a plurality of regions, and
the plurality of inlets are respectively formed by the plurality of regions that are partitioned by the at least one partition part in the circulation path.
6. The writing tool according to claim 5 , wherein the partition part extends in a direction orthogonal to a central line of the circulation path.
