Self-healing seal assembly for a writing instrument

The application relates to a color linker comprising a base segment including a first portion and a second portion, each of which are configured to allow ink to flow therethrough, and a barrier positioned between the first and second portions, the barrier being configured to prevent the exchange of ink between the first and second portions; a mixing segment adjacent to the base segment, a tip segment adjacent to the mixing segment, and a tip applicator adjacent to the tip segment, the tip applicator being configured to deposit ink onto a writing surface.

Color linker

A refillable free ink writing instrument including a body having a rear end, a front end and an ink reservoir disposed between the rear end and the front end, a writing tip mounted on the front end and a plug mounted on the rear end, wherein the plug is configured to close an opening in fluid communication with the ink reservoir, the plug being configured to be removable from the rear end to refill the ink reservoir with water and concentrated ink refill.

Refillable free ink writing instrument, kit comprising such a writing instrument, and method thereof

A nib for a valve-free free ink writing felt pen including a first end configured to deliver ink to a writing support and second end, opposite the first end, configured to be inserted in a nib receiving part of the valve-free free ink writing felt pen, the first end and the second end defining an axial direction of the nib, the nib having an external surface configured to cooperate with an internal surface of the nib receiving part, the external surface being configured to allow intake of air from the outside of a free ink tank, the valve-free free ink writing felt pen into the free ink tank and avoid ink leakage outside the free ink tank when cooperating with the internal surface of the nib receiving part. A valve-free free ink writing felt pen including a nib.

Nib for writing felt pen

A nib for a valve-free free ink writing felt pen including a first end configured to deliver ink to a writing support and second end, opposite the first end, configured to be inserted in a nib receiving part of the valve-free free ink writing felt pen, the first end and the second end defining an axial direction of the nib, the nib including a main body made of porous hydrophilic material and including one or more insert made of porous hydrophobic material, the one or more insert being configured to allow intake of air from the outside of a free ink tank of the valve-free free ink writing felt pen into the free ink tank and avoid ink leakage outside the free ink tank. A valve-free free ink writing felt pen including a nib.

A writing instrument having a plurality of retraction mechanisms, wherein each of the plurality of retraction mechanisms is configured to actuate a respective retractable writing tip, each retraction mechanism being configured to produce a different predetermined sound that is suitable for being detected by an electronic device, and each of the different predetermined sounds is configured to communicate a different command to the electronic device.

Writing instrument serving as a mechanical remote control for an electronic device

A multi-function writing instrument comprises a body extending in an axial direction, at least two writing elements arranged inside the body, each writing element comprising a writing head able to take up a retracted position in which the writing head is stowed in the body and a writing position in which the writing head protrudes from the body, one of the writing elements being a lead-holder system comprising a lead-holder mechanism and a lead container, the lead container comprising a side opening for inserting leads.

Multi-function writing instrument comprising a lead-holder system

A refill for a writing felt pen, the refill comprising a deformable pouch and a nib inserted into the deformable pouch, the deformable pouch comprising a mix of dry absorbent polymer, fibers and dry ink.

Refill for a writing felt pen

A writing felt pen including a barrel and a nib attached to the barrel, and a deformable pouch comprising a mix of absorbent polymer and fibres, an ink being absorbed in the absorbent polymer and the nib being in fluidic communication with the mix.

Writing felt pen

A multi-function writing instrument comprises a body extending in an axial direction and a radial direction, and having at least two writing elements arranged inside the body, each writing element comprising a writing head and a button, at least one button extending in the radial direction through a window and allowing the writing element to be moved between a retracted position in which the writing head is retracted into the body and a writing position in which the writing head projects from the body, and one of the writing elements being a leadholder system comprising a leadholder mechanism and a lead container, the button of the leadholder system comprising a lead-insertion channel extending in the axial direction.

Multi-function writing instrument comprising a leadholder system

A writing instrument comprising a housing extending in a longitudinal direction and having a radial direction, and first and second concentric writing tips, the second writing tip arranged around the first writing tip, each writing tip received in the housing and able to assume an operating configuration, the housing comprising, at a longitudinal end, a deformable nose at least in the radial direction, the deformable nose comprising at least one slit extending in the longitudinal direction, the deformable nose not being deformed when only the first writing tip is in an operating configuration and the deformable nose being deformed when the second writing tip is in an operating configuration, the deformable nose comprising an exit opening of the first and second writing tips, the diameter of the exit opening being greater than the diameter of the first writing tip and less than that of the second writing tip.

Writing instrument comprising two concentric writing tips

A manual device for applying a coating to a support by means of tape, in which a first angle formed between the median plane of the applicator tip and the half-line extending from the middle of the application edge of the applicator tip and passing through the point arranged at the intersection of the outer periphery of the first winding and the radius of the first winding perpendicular to the median plane, is between &#x2212;1&#xb0; and 10&#xb0;, whereas a second angle formed between the median plane and the half-line extending from the middle of the application edge and passing through the point arranged at the intersection of the outer periphery of the second winding and the radius of the second winding perpendicular to the median plane, is between 1&#xb0; and 10&#xb0;.

Manual device for applying a coating to a support by means of tape

A manual device extends in an axial direction and includes a housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion. First and second heads are each axially movable between a use position and a stowed position. The first head is in the stowed position when the second head is in the use position, whereas the second head is in the stowed position when the first head is in the use position. The first head and the second head both are carried by a single carriage movable in the axial direction and arranged inside a barrel. A groove forming a cam track is formed by a first shoulder of the first housing portion and by a second shoulder of the barrel. A lug of the carriage cooperates with the groove.

Manual device with two retractable heads carried by a single carriage

A hand-held device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is engaged at least in part with the second portion while being movable in translation in an axial direction relative to the second portion. The first portion presents a first distal end while the second portion presents a second distal end opposite from the first distal end in the axial direction. A blocking device is configured to prevent the first portion from moving in translation in the axial direction relative to the second portion only when, considered in the gravity direction, the first distal end is arranged above the second distal end. The blocking device includes a chamber and a ball or the equivalent housed in the chamber.

Hand-held device, in particular a writing instrument, provided with a blocking device
