摘要： A writing utensil configurable between retracted and extended configurations is provided. The writing utensil includes a body having an interior volume and an aperture. A reciprocally movable nib assembly is located in the body and includes a nib that, when in the extended configuration, traverses the aperture. To prevent the nib from drying when in the retracted configuration, a sealing element seals the aperture. In an embodiment, the sealing element is a resilient valve element that can be opened by a sleeve slidably engaging the nib assembly. After the sleeve opens the valve, the sleeve slides with respect to the nib assembly to expose the nib. In another embodiment, the sealing element can be a sliding door that is attached to the nib assembly and overlays the aperture. When the nib assembly is moved to the extended configuration, the sliding door slides in a manner that opens the aperture.

摘要： The marker (100) may include a body (102), a cap (104), an end plug (106) and an eraser (108). In one of the embodiments, the eraser (108) is molded onto the end plug (106). The end plug (106) may include an attachment portion (140) and the eraser (108) may have an attachment portion (170). The attachment portion (140) on the end plug corresponds to the attachment portion (170) on the eraser. The attachment portions may have different shapes and/or cross sections. In other embodiments the eraser may be attached to the end of the marker, to the barrel, or to the cap.

摘要： A set of combined construction toy and marker bodies. Each marker (50) includes ball portions (58, 60) and socket portions (62, 64) that receive the ball portions (58, 60). The construction facilitates a pivoting, rotatable interconnection between markers. All of the markers (50) may also consist of an identical shape. Each marker (50) may further include a separable cap (54) that incorporates a ventilated end (132) to allow fluid passage therethrough, so as to provide an air passageway (130) through the cap (54).
