A liquid storage includes at least three layers, an inner layer made of paper base material and an intermediate layer of a paper base laminate having a metal layer or a silica vapor deposition layer formed on the outer surface side of the paper-based inner layer, and an outer layer made of paper base material formed on the outer surface side of the intermediate layer. The paper base laminate is wound into a spiral shape and on the outer surface side of the intermediate layer, the outer layer is also wound into a spiral shape. A polyolefin resin-containing adhesive layer lies in between the inner and intermediate layers and/or between the intermediate and outer layers.

A device for removing a liquid from a container having a depressible valve is provided. The device may include a reservoir for holding the liquid removed from the container. A conduit of the device may include a first end and a second end. The first end may be fluidly coupled to the reservoir while the second end may be fluidly coupled to the container. Depressing the conduit may actuate the depressible valve of the container to provide fluid communication of the liquid from the container, through the conduit, and into the reservoir.

There are provided a printing method and a printing apparatus for increasing visibility and printed matter printed using the printing method. The printing apparatus sprays a light-absorbing composition to form a light-absorbing layer on a print medium, and then sprays a color-variable composition on the light-absorbing layer to form a color-variable layer.

An apparatus including a body configured to house a writing tool therein and a sharpener connected to the body. The sharpener is configured to allow a user to sharpen a knife by gripping the body and sliding the knife on the sharpener.

The adaptation of a pocket-size pen for use by a person is provided. The pen includes a cap with internally configured male threads, and a body. The body includes a barrel with externally configured and spaced apart first set of female threads, and second set of female threads. The barrel is hollow inside with a top opening for receiving a full-sized standard ink source. The male threads of the cap engage the second set of female threads of the pen body for closing a writing tip and reducing the length of the pen for storage in the pocket of a user. The male threads of the cap engage the first set of female threads of the body for transforming the pen into an extended-length pen similar in length to a conventional pen and revealing the writing tip for comfortable writing using the pen.
