Writing, drawing, painting and /or cosmetics pencil and method of producing the same

1. Lead, color and/or cosmetics pencil comprising a color-dispensing core and a core holder enclosing the core, wherein the core holder comprises a casing consisting of a wood-replacement material which encloses the core, wherein the core and the core holder are retained in such a way that they cannot be displaced in relation to one another, wherein the core holder has a carrying sleeve ( 13 ), the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) encloses the wood-replacement material ( 12 ), and the modulus of elasticity of the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) is equal to or higher than, and the bending strength of the carrying sleeve is higher than that of the wood-replacement material ( 12 ), wherein the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) is formed of a polymer filled with at least one organic filer or a polymeric mix filled with at least one organic filler, wherein the wood-replacement material ( 12 ) is formed of a polymeric mix filled with at least one organic filler, wherein 50 to 80% by weight of the at least one filler is contained in the filled polymer of the carrying sleeve and the wood replacement material.

2. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the modulus of elasticity of the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) is at least 4000 MPa.

3. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the bending strength of the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) is greater than or equal to 40 MPa.

4. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the wood-replacement material ( 12 ) as well as the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) are arranged concentrically to the core ( 11 ).

5. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the core ( 11 ) is a polymer-bound core.

6. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer or the polymeric mix is foamed.

7. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the wood-replacement material ( 12 ), when viewed in cross-section vertically to the longitudinal axis of the pencil ( 1 ), has a wall thickness in the range between 0.5 and 3 mm.

8. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the core ( 11 ) has a diameter m in the range between 1.5 and 7 mm.

9. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying sleeve ( 13 ), when viewed in cross-section vertically to the longitudinal axis of the pencil ( 1 ), has a wall thickness t in the range between 0.5 and 2 mm.

10. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) is colored, in particular in a color of the core ( 11 ) or in the color of the wood-replacement material ( 12 ).

11. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein a bonding agent layer is formed between the core ( 11 ) and the wood-replacement material ( 12 ) and/or between the wood-replacement material ( 12 ) and the carrying sleeve ( 13 ).

12. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) is provided with a decorative layer ( 14 ) on the side facing away from the wood-replacement material ( 12 ).

13. Pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the sharpening moment of the pencil ( 1 ) is the same as that of a pencil ( 1 ) with a core holder made of wood.

14. Method for producing a pencil according to claim 1 , wherein the core ( 11 ), the wood-replacement material ( 12 ) and the carrying sleeve ( 13 ) are co-extruded.

15. Pencil according to claim 2 , wherein the modulus of elasticity of the carrying sleeve is 5000 MPa.

16. Pencil according to claim 3 , wherein the bending strength of the carrying sleeve is 50 to 80 MPa.

17. Pencil according to claim 7 , wherein the wall thickness of the wood-replacement material is in the range between 1 and 2 mm.

18. Pencil according to claim 8 , wherein the diameter of the core is in the range between 2 and 6 mm.
