A vented output device for uniformly mixed liquid comprising a barrel defining a reservoir for containing the uniformly mixed liquid, and at least one vent channel extending from a first vent opening in fluid flow communication with an exterior of the device and second vent opening in fluid flow communication with the reservoir. A binary ink storage assembly includes multiple glass ampoules arranged in pairs, which are placed inside the barrel in parallel. The invention provides a reliable, simple and low-cost output device for solving the problem of not allowing the liquid to be uniformly mixed and output when a chemiluminescent marker or pen is activated.

Output device for uniformly mixed liquid and method for making and using the same

The present disclosure relates to a drawing device for creating a pattern, wherein the drawing device comprises a gear assembly that rotates upon movement of the device, the gear assembly being operatively coupled to a cam and a cam follower, such that rotation of the gear assembly rotates the cam and causes the cam to bear against the cam follower. Movement of the cam follower thereby causes lateral movement of a marker carriage housing at least one writing instrument.

The technology described herein relates to a system of stackable/nesting stencils or molds for creating 3-D objects using a modeling compound material. The stencils or molds can be filled with the modeling compound material by hand and/or leveled using a roller to flatten the compound material more smoothly for a better outcome. Each stencil has a level and nests with another corresponding stencil of the set in a designated order. In some aspects, in order to guide a user with the correct designated order in which to fill the stencil plates or molds, each stencil plate or mold may be provided with a numbered tab. Once all the stencils are filled in the designated order with modeling compound materials, the stencil plates can be removed level by level to reveal a finished 3-D object. These 3-D objects may be anything from characters, vehicles, objects, figurines, and the like.

Devices, kits, and methods for making a carved crayon are provided. In one aspect, a crayon carving device includes a base, a pantograph armature coupled to the base, a crayon positioner, and at least one guide template parallel to the crayon positioner. The kit may further include a wrapper removal mechanism configured to remove a wrapper from a crayon, such that the crayon carving device may be used on an exposed crayon surface.

A digital template animation kit is provided for generating a three-dimensional animation corresponding to a captured two-dimensional template. In embodiments, a template animation kit includes a template portfolio having template designs for coloring in by a user. A computing device executing a template animation kit application, such as a digital fashion portfolio kit application, may then capture an image of the user-completed drawings on each template design. In some embodiments, capturing an image of a template design includes identifying a coloring figure identifier, an upper page guide identifier, and a lower page guide identifier. In further embodiments, the captured images of two-dimensional template designs are applied to three dimensional digital templates for animation within a digital template animation environment.

A marker-making kit for assembling a marking device having a user-determined mixture of marking solution is provided. The kit includes a base unit coupled to a marker positioning mechanism and a press mechanism. A mixing tube holder secures a mixing tube used for collecting a desired amount of one or more marker fluids. A mixed marker solution is combined, including any number of different colors of marker fluid, and used to saturate a marker reservoir. The saturated reservoir may then be transferred to a maker barrel positioned near the press mechanism. By applying an amount of force with a marker compression arm, a completed marker is secured, enclosing the marker reservoir inside a marker barrel.

Embodiments of the invention are directed an animation kit including a template page with at least one template design, an armature that moves between at least a first position and a second position, and an animation application that generates an animated segment corresponding to the template design and at least one pose of the armature. In further embodiments, a method for generating an animated segment is provided. In another embodiment, a system for generating an animated sequence includes a template design and an application that receives an image of the template design and animates at least one three-dimensional image corresponding to the captured template design.

Customized augmented reality animation generator

Devices, kits, and methods for making a carved crayon are provided. In one aspect, a crayon carving device includes a base, a pantograph armature coupled to the base, a crayon positioner, and at least one guide template parallel to the crayon positioner. The pantograph armature includes a motorized drive shaft with a drill tip for carving an outside surface of a crayon body, as well as a guide tip for tracing along a guide template that directs where the drill tip carves. In some embodiments, the guide template includes a stationary bridge support and a plurality of removable carving bucks that insert into one of multiple openings on the bridge support. The surface features of each of the carving bucks may be traced by the guide tip to generate a corresponding carving on the surface of a crayon body.

Multi-purpose digital coloring tools for interacting with a touchscreen are described. A pattern-making device provides for patterned input from a digital marking tool on a touchscreen device. The pattern-making device guides the digital marking tool with a plurality of gear teeth on an internal edge of a template frame secured to a touchscreen device using a base unit. Light images are created by a light stylus that interacts with a touchscreen device or an emulsion-surface device. An easel support structure holds a touchscreen device in an upright position during marking with the digital marking tool. Digitally animated coloring book pages are adapted to interact with a touchscreen device. Digital crayons, digital stamping devices, a digital paintbrush, a dual-tip digital stylus for creating 3-dimensional (3-D) images, and a pair of 3-D glasses are provided for interacting with a touchscreen device.

Multi-purpose digital coloring tools

A digital collage creation kit is provided. The digital collage creation kit may include a digital photo cutter, a digital stamper, and a digital transforming tool. The digital photo cutter, the digital stamper, and the digital transforming tool may be configured to interact with a touch-screen surface of a computing device executing the digital collage creation kit application. Upon executing the digital collage creation kit application by the computing device, the digital collage creation kit may generate a digital collage creation environment, in which a digital collage may be created based on input received from one or more of the digital photo cutter, the digital stamper, and the digital transforming tool.

A digital coloring tools kit for creating a realistic painting experience for use with a touch-screen device is provided in embodiments of the invention. In some embodiments, the digital coloring tools kit includes a digital paintbrush tool, a digital stamper tool, a digital pattern roller, a digital airbrush tool, a digital paint palette, and a carrying case. In further embodiments, the invention includes an activation feature for a digital coloring tools application configured to generate a digital coloring environment upon activation and/or execution by a computing device, such as a touch-screen device. In some embodiments, the digital paint palette is configured to receive a first and second amount of a color for mixing, and subsequent painting with a digital paintbrush tool.
