Barrel to Cap attachment question : Please tell us what you think.
Barrel to Cap attachment-- there are three methods seen so far:
a) Thread- threads on barrel end engages inside threads in the cap, occasionally, engagement is by threads on the section with threads inside cap.--- Twist open-close.
... b) Spring Loaded slip fit : Like Parker 51/61 etc , Hero and Wing Sung pens- mostly with metal cap pens. Pull and push open-close.
c) Another common type of barrel to cap engagement is seen in the modern Chinese pens- the section pushes inside nylon sleeve placed inside the barrel and fits with a click. Pull and push open-close.
This nylon / teflon sleeve has one constriction in the inner recess and the tip of the section slides over the constriction just before coming to stop position.
I am very sure this nylon insert tube is mass produced by injection moulding in China etc.
What is the name of this part ? Any idea if this part is available in India or online ?
Please can anyone advise how to fabricate this part by machining and drilling ?
Is it difficult to make ?
Just a thought- why this method is not chosen by makers of Kit-less pens?
