MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Further statement is provided for the utility model based on detailed embodiment and drawing as below.

As shown in FIG. 12-14, this utility model comprises penholder 1 and connecting piece 2. Connecting penholder 1 and connecting piece 2 at a certain quantity will form various types of modeling 31, 32 and 33.

As shown in FIG. 10, penholder 1 uses a frequently used color plot pen, and it may a color plot pencil, crayon and water color pen. Modeling of these penholders of the plot pens is similar to each other, and diameters of the two ends are roughly the same that all of them can be placed into sleeve of the connecting piece 2 for plug connection. What is shown in FIG. 10 is a plot pen penholder 1 shorter in length, and what is shown in FIG. 11 is a plot pen penholder 1 longer in length.

In embodiment 1, the foresaid connecting piece 2 uses a structure of sleeve consisting of minimum one sleeve, and slot 200 is formed at top of the sleeve for holding the penholder 1. Connecting certain amount of penholder 1 with the connecting piece 2 will form a modeling.

In this utility model, the connecting piece 2 uses a plastic sleeve. The foresaid connecting piece 2 should be at two in quantity, and there is slot 100 equipped at top of the sleeve for holding the penholder 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, this is the first structure of the connecting piece in embodiment 1. The connecting piece 1 uses the simplest shape. The connecting piece 21 is equipped with sleeve 211, and slot 200 is equipped respectively at tow ends of the sleeve 211 for holding the penholder 1. As shown in FIG. 12, with this kind of connecting piece, some penholders 1 connected will form a modeling of strip in shape.

To improve matching tightness of connecting piece 21 and penholder 1, anti-sliding streaks are formed at inner wall of the sleeve of the connecting piece 21.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting piece 22 of the second structure in embodiment 1 is equipped with two sleeves 221 and 222, the sleeve 211 and 212 are respectively equipped with slot 200 for holding penholder 1, and the two sleeves 221 and 22 are connected forming a certain included angle, meaning that the connecting piece 22 becomes an elbow with an bended angle. Specifically, the sleeve 221 and 222 in this embodiment form an included angle of 90°. This kind of connecting piece 22 can be used to connect a rectangle frame.

As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting piece 23 of the third structure is equipped with three sleeves 231, 232 and 233, the three sleeves 231, 232 and 233 are respectively equipped with slot 200 for holding penholder 1, and the three sleeves 231, 232 and 233 are connected forming a certain included angle. The included angle between the sleeve 231, 232 and 233 can be set up freely, it may be the connecting piece 23 in plane T-joint shape as shown in FIG. 3m and can also be orthogonal as the connecting piece in right-angle T-joint shape as shown in FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting piece 24 of the fifth structure is equipped with four sleeves 241, 242, 243 and 244, the four sleeves 241, 242, 243 and 244 are respectively equipped with slot 200 for holding penholder 1, and the four sleeves 241, 242, 243 and 244 are connected forming a certain included angle. The four sleeves 241, 242, 243 and 244 can be in a shape of cross as shown in FIG. 5, and it may also form the connecting piece 24a in right-angle cross-joint shape. Moreover, it may be the connecting piece 24b in 45° cross-joint shape as shown in FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 8, the connecting piece 25 of the fifth structure is equipped with five sleeves 251, 252, 253, 254 and 255, the five sleeves 251, 252, 253, 254 and 255 are respectively equipped with slot 200 for holding penholder 1, and the five sleeves 251, 252, 253, 254 and 255 are connected forming a certain included angle.

By parity of reasoning, as shown in FIG. 9, the connecting piece 26 is equipped with six sleeves, and the six sleeves are connected forming a certain included angle. Of course, connecting pieces in other shape can be set up based need. It is in a similar structure as mentioned above, and is equipped with sleeve matching with penholder for plug. connection and to connect at least two penholders 1 together. Hereby there are no more details given for the specific structure.

As shown in FIG. 13, this is a cube 32 in shape connected with the connecting piece and penholder in the embodiment above. As shown in FIG. 14, this is a house frame 33 in shape connected with the connecting piece and penholder in the embodiment above.

This utility model takes penholder of the plot pen as a basic part. With the connecting pieces, the basic parts are connected to form various shapes to make the plot pen into a connected toy. By this way, the plot pens do not function as a pen for drawing, but also can be used a toy.

Certainly, if the penholders are used to connect a shape with the plot pen capable to be used further for drawing, when drawing with the plot pens is needed, they shall be disassembled, and that is troublesome, To overcome this shortcoming, the sleeve of connecting piece in embodiment 1 can be reformed as shown in FIG. 15. This is a connecting piece 27 formed by a sleeve, and sleeve 271 forming the connecting piece 27 is equipped with notch 270 along edge shaft of the slot 200. With this notch 270, the penholder can be easily pulled out from the sleeve 271. Even on a connected shape, any penholder can be easily taken down. Because the connecting piece of this utility model is a unibody made of plastics, due to the feature of flexible distortion of the plastic material, it is easy to take the penholder down but not cause the connected shape exploded. Therefore, the user may take the penholder in any color wanted down and connect it on after using. Because the connecting piece formed by various sleeves may be equipped with notch, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the sleeve 281 of connecting piece 28 is equipped with notch 280, and sleeve 291 of connecting piece 29 is equipped with notch 290.

As shown in FIG. 18-20, this is embodiment 2 of this utility mode. The connecting piece 20 in this embodiment is in a spherical structure. At surface of the spherical connecting piece, it is equipped with slot 200 for holding at least two penholders. Slots 200 at surface of the spherical connecting piece 20 are distributed and equipped based on actual need, and the principle is just the same as sleeve distribution direction in embodiment 1. As shown in FIG. 21, this is an embodiment with penholders 1 in line connection by spherical connecting piece 20. There are two slots 200 equipped on spherical surface of connecting piece 20 along a horizontal and symmetric direction, and thus a line shape modeling 34 is connected ready. As shown in FIG. 22, this is a modeling 35 in frame structure connected with penholders 1 by spherical connecting pieces 20. Using method and structure of the embodiment 2 is similar with that of the embodiment 1, and thus hereby no more details are given repeatedly.

What mentioned above are only the preferred embodiments of the invention, and the protection scope is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements easily got within the technical scope disclosed in this invention by technicians familiar with this technical field are in the protection scope of this invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention is subject to the protection scope of the claims.
