How Does The Con 70 Work?

[Icywolfe]

I just got the Justus 95 and it has the CON 70 and I exchanged it with the CON 50. Now I looked at the CON 70 I have no clue how it works. (I do know how to use it.) It's bogging my mind right now.

 

Just a off topic question, but if there is CON20, CON50, and CON70. What is the CON10, CON30, CON40, CON60, and etc?

the con70 works on the principle of a multistroke filler with breather tube. same principle as the parker vacumatic, the bulb fillers etc.

there are no CON10, CON30, CON40, CON60

That is the problem I have no clue how those systems work either. My mind says this can't be possible to get ink up, but after 3 pushes it's filled. It's magic!

 

Then why the huge number skips?

that is easy to solve, google is your friend and there is plenty of material available already on the internet about these filling mechanisms, even the links to original patents where these ideas were put forward.

 

I have no idea why pilot made those number jumps, only they can answer.

I have a certain feeling that I should've taken some physics classes to understand the diagrams I've seen.

Like only until a few days ago I never knew how a pump pen filled until I saw the Edison's animated GIF image.

To fully understand you should be able to read diagrams and have some understanding of physics.

 

Basically: when you press the button a bit of vacuum is created, this sucks in some ink. Next pump, again a bit of vacuum and some more ink. After a few pumps the converter is as full as it gets. There is some clever device that makes that the ink does not squirt out again once you pump again.

The number skips are due to the convention of many Japanese manufacturers to have model numbers based on the rough price of the pen or part. Platinum does this also.

 

Con-20 --> 200 yen

Con-50 --> 500 yen

Con-70 --> 700 yen

Well, who'd have thought that was the reason? Thanks

Why couldn't they rename it for the US? Like CON10/11 and CON6 and etc?

 

But I was seriously thinking there was some super amazing reason.

Many of the Pilot Custom Series Pens are named this way:

Custom 845 = 50,000 YEN

Custom 823 = 30,000 YEN

Custom 743 = 30,000 YEN

Custom 742 = 20,000 YEN

[RMN]

Would that mean the Justus 95 is going for 50.000 Y???

Now that you know how to use the con that came with Justus 95...are you enjoying the pen and con....Which

nib and ink are you usin'...Any scans or photos of said pen....Congratulations!

From what I have seen it only applies to the pens with 3 digits...the Custom 74 is 10,000 YEN and the Justus 95 is 30,000 YEN but the Custom 912 is 20,000 YEN.

How do you scan a pen? =P

 

Ink is Ebony Blue

It's a good pen for drawing. It's better for drawing than actual writing.

If you use the actually item/model number, then it matches up a little better

 

Custom 845 --> FKV-5MR --> 50000 yen

Custom 823 --> FKK-3MRP --> 30000 yen

Justus 95 (95 is for Pilot's 95th anniversary so it's different) --> FJ-3MR --> 30000 yen

Custom Heritage 91 --> FKVH-1MR --> 10000 yen

Is the con 70 diaphragm -ed, or does it use a spring and a hard piece of plastic to create vacuum ?
