About Renew प्रतिस्थापनीयपुनर्भरणलेखनी

रिन्यु इति नाम्ना एषा लेखनी मस्याः केन्द्रस्य शीघ्रप्रतिस्थापनार्थं निर्मिता अस्ति। लेखनीधारकः आवर्तनगत्या उद्घाट्यते, येन अग्रं केन्द्रात् पृथग् भवति, नूतनं केन्द्रं च मस्याः स्रावं विना निवेशयितुं शक्यते। आवर्तनयन्त्रं टोपिकायाम् अपसारितायां धारकं स्वस्थाने स्थापयति। तन्तुमयाग्रस्य परितः विद्यमानाः रेखाः अग्रं नमयितुं समर्थयन्ति, येन कागदपृष्ठेन सह सम्पूर्णः सम्पर्कः निरन्तरं तिष्ठति। टोपिकायाः आकारः अग्रस्य स्थूलतां सूचयति, अनुरूपवर्णयुक्ते टोपिकाधारकौ च अग्रस्य नमनदिशां दर्शयतः। शरीरं रबरखण्डयुक्तेन प्लास्टिकेन निर्मितम् अस्ति।

Unique Properties: This is a replaceable marker. Unlike existing markers, where refill is injected from the tip of the pen, the user can unscrew the marker, remove the refill and replace it. The pen cap of different shapes indicates the thickness of the pen cap. When fastening the thick pen cap, the color of the pen cap and the penholder can ensure the tilt direction of the pen cap, so as to avoid the pen tip upside down when using it next time.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 160mm x Depth 15mm x Height 15mm
Tags: Quick change, marker, refill, twist
Production Technology: The pen body is made of plastic, the middle gray material is rubber, and the tip is made of fiber
Design Challenge: The design challenge is how to change the refill quickly. By removing the marker, we found that the tip of the pen is inserted into the core to drain the pen water.Therefore, we decided to design the pen holder for the marker to be detachable. In order to prevent the pen holder from being pulled out when the cap is removed, the opening mode of the pen holder was designed to be twisted.Another challenge with this design is how to make sure the lines drawn by the markers are smooth. We designed grooves around the tip of the pen so that the tip can bend around to ensure that it fits the surface of the paper.
Research: By replacing the marker fluid, we found that the fluid tended to overflow. We disassembled the marker and found that the reason why the fluid flows is the pen tip is inserted into the core. Therefore, we connect the pen tip with the penholder, remove the penholder to achieve the separation of the pen tip and the pen core, to achieve the purpose of replacing the pen core.
Inspiration: Current markers are less efficient at filling pen water.The inspiration of this design comes from the replacement of the battery. Unscrew the penholder and replace the pen core. When the penholder is inserted back, the internal pen tip can be inserted into the pen core, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly replacing the supplement liquid and extending the service life of the pen.
Project Duration: The project was started in October 2021 in Beijing and finished in November 2021 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: When the pen runs out of water, the user covers the pen holder and twists it to unplug the pen and replace the pen core. In the drawing process, due to the space left for the pen tip to be bent, the complete contact between the pen tip and the paper surface can be guaranteed when the force is applied. The pen cap of different shapes indicates the thickness of the pen tip. When the pen cap corresponds to the color of the pen holder, the tilt direction of the pen cap can indicate the tilt direction of the pen tip.
