Abstract

A pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen is disclosed, and it includes a pen head and a support saddle for the pen head which are made of conductive materials, and a universal joint is connected between the pen head and the support saddle for the pen head. When the stylus pen is used in practice, the pen body can be used at arbitrary angle through using the connection relationship of the universal joint. However the largest touching area between the pen head and the touching-screen can be kept, so as to ensure the operation performance of the stylus pen.

Claims (6)

1. A pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen, comprising a pen head and a support saddle, the pen head and the support saddle being made of a conductive material, the pen head and the support saddle being connected through a universal joint, further comprising a backing member, the pen head having a working end face at a lower end face thereof to touch a touchscreen, an upper part of the pen head being a spherical head, the spherical head having a sphere seat formed therein to mate with a sphere of the backing member, the backing member and the pen head forming a universal connection relationship, the support saddle comprising a lower pen head connecting portion and an upper pen body connecting portion, the pen head connecting portion being formed with a spherical seat to accommodate the spherical head of the pen head so that the pen head and the support saddle form the universal connection relationship, the support saddle further having a sink hole disposed above the spherical seat to accommodate the backing member, the backing member being a rod member, the backing member having the sphere at a lower end thereof and a rod body, the rod body of the backing member being inserted into the sink hole of the support saddle.

2. The pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spherical head is formed with a taper seat which is tapered from top to bottom, the spherical head being formed with the sphere seat near a middle part thereof and facing downward.

3. The pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen as claimed in claim 1 or 2 , wherein the sphere seat has a depth greater than the radius of the sphere of the backing member and less than the diameter of the sphere.

4. The pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pen head is a spherical crown member made of a conductive material, the upper part of the pen head being the spherical head, a lower end face of the pen head being formed with a recess to accommodate a conductive plate.

5. The pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the spherical head is formed with a taper seat which is tapered from top to bottom, the spherical head being formed with a through hole near a middle part thereof, the diameter of the through hole being greater than or equal to the diameter of the sphere of the backing member, a reduced opening being formed between the through hole and the taper seat, the diameter of the reduced opening being less than the diameter of the sphere of the backing member.

6. The pen head configuration structure for a capacitive touch-screen stylus pen as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the through hole has an arc surface at an upper end thereof.
