Modular fountain pens useable with inks of varying viscosities that utilize a nib with exterior grooves for conveying ink, which removably fits into a coupler that places the nib in fluid communication with a reservoir by way of a central ink tube. The coupler removably secures into a housing, which is closed on its opposite end by a rotating end cap designed to engage the ink reservoir so as to allow the pen user to adjust the internal volume of the reservoir. The pen allows for quick assembly and disassembly, which allows the pen to be easily cleaned between uses to accommodate fluid inks that may leave heavy residues and also allows for the appearance of the pen to be changed according to user tastes. The use of a quick-removing nib allows for a double-tipped nib to be used, with different writing tips, and easy swapping by the pen user between writing tips.

An applicator and dispensing device adapted to enclose a solid product within a holder which is enclosed by an outer shell. The outer shell can rotate relative to the holder via a hinge and then push a support cup that contains the product along a channel and through an orifice in the holder, thus exposing the product for use.

A product dispensing apparatus including a reusable product dispenser and a refill cartridge configured to releasably couple to the reusable product dispenser. The reusable product dispenser includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis, a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the housing, and a telescope assembly. The base is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction. The telescope assembly includes a proximal section and a distal section movable relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis defined by the housing between a collapsed condition and an extended condition. At least one of the proximal section or the distal section is operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis.

A fountain pen that is configured to be reloaded with ink wherein the fountain pen of the present invention has an improved volume capacity over conventional fountain pens. The invention includes a body wherein the body includes a grip portion and a barrel portion that are rotatably coupled. A nib is secured to the first end of the body. A rod member is mounted within the interior volume of the body and extends the length thereof. A piston head member is operably coupled to the rod member and is configured to traverse therealong during rotation of the barrel portion of the body. The wall member of the barrel portion of the body includes movement members formed thereon. The perimeter edge of the piston head member is sealably and operably coupled with the movement members and wherein movement of the piston head member facilitates the drawing of ink into the body.

An applying material extruding container includes a leading tube and a pipe member inserted into the leading tube so as to be slidable in the axial line direction of the leading tube relative to the leading tube. In the initial state, the front end of the pipe member is located at a position displaced backward a predetermined distance from the front end of the leading tube, and the applying material is filled from in the pipe hole of the pipe member to in the tube hole of the leading tube. The inner surface of the region of the tube hole extends straight in the axial line direction. In the applying material extruding container, when the container main body and the control tube are relatively rotated in one/the other direction, by the screwing action of the first screw part, the pipe member is made to move forward/backward together with the applying material.

A writing instrument with an operating side, with a writing side with a nib, with a tank which can be filled with liquid writing medium, with a piston, which is movable within the tank, and with an operating element arranged on the operating side for axial adjustment of the piston within the tank. The writing instrument is characterized in that the operating element can be brought by a user from a first axial position, namely an idle position, in which it is held axially in position in particular with locking, into a second axial position which differs axially from the idle position, namely an operating position, in which the operating element has a larger distance to the nib in comparison with the idle position and in which the operating element can be gripped by the user and moved for the axial adjustment of the piston.

A deodorant dispensing apparatus including a reusable product dispenser and a deodorant refill cartridge releasably coupled to the reusable product dispenser. The reusable product dispenser includes a cylindrical housing, a base, a telescope, and a spring. The base is rotatably coupled to the cylindrical housing and operably coupled to the telescope. The spring is operably coupled to a spring holster of the base and the telescope. The deodorant refill cartridge includes a refill barrel and refill plunger. The refill plunger is rotatably coupled to the refill barrel, which retains a deodorant product therein. The refill barrel includes a latching mechanism for releasably coupling the refill barrel to the reusable product dispenser.
