Abstract:
The invention concerns a writing implement with a longitudinal control device for displaying two consecutive decorative elements or messages, characterised in that it comprises two separate walls designed to be marked: the external surface (the pen body) and the internal surface (the drive element). The drawings show, by way of example, two imaginary decorative elements on the two walls, completing each other by juxtaposition in the drive retracted position and its projecting position (Fig. 8, Fig. 9), thereby forming two separate messages (Fig. 10, Fig. 11). The invention aims at providing the message with an additional dimension of surprise and amusement when the pen is being used.
Abstract:
A self contained multiple color writing pen has a single writing tip for dispensing a user selectable variable color ink to paper or other surfaces from an internal mixing chamber. Several internal ink reservoirs each having a different color ink, supply their ink to the mixing chamber. A user may easily change the selectable writing color even as he writes by manually moving a rotatable thumbwheel on the pen and the dispensed ink output changes quickly in response to such thumbwheel input. The number of colors selectable by a user is seemingly infinite and includes the entire color spectrum.
