Abstract:
1. A cap for a writing, drawing or painting implement comprising; a cap sheath having an inner peripheral surface; a clamping ring disposed separately in the can sheath and having; at least one wedge-shaped surface that rises radially in a circumferential direction disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the clamping ring; and a corresponding number of respective matching wedge-shaped surfaces disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the cap sheath, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the clamping ring is designed such that, by placing the cap on the housing, a friction fit or positive fit results between the clamping ring and the housing, and wherein the inner peripheral surface of the cap sheath and the outer peripheral surface of the clamping ring are designed such that, by placing the cap on the housing and then executing a relative axial twist between the can and the housing, a friction fit results between the cap sheath and the clamping ring, resulting in a firm axial fit between the cap and the housing.
