A retractable marker assembly includes a tube that has a tapered end such that the tube has a conical shape. An ink cartridge is insertable into the tube and the ink cartridge contains a fluid ink. The ink cartridge is slidable between an extended position or a retracted position. An applicator is fluidly coupled to the ink cartridge to absorb the fluid ink contained in the ink cartridge for marking a surface. A cap is removably attached to the tube and a button slidably extends through the cap. The button engages the ink cartridge and the ink cartridge is positioned in the extended position exposed when the button is depressed having the applicator being exposed. The ink cartridge is positioned in the retracted position when the button is not depressed having the applicator being withdrawn into the tube.

A multicolor marker assembly for making a multicolored mark on a bingo card includes a bottle that has a plurality of chambers being integrated therein. Each of the chambers contains a fluid pigment of a respective color. An applicator is removably coupled to the bottle and the applicator is comprised of a fluid permeable material to absorb the fluid pigment contained in each of the chambers. Additionally, the applicator releases the fluid pigment in each of the chambers when the applicator is pressed against a surface to make a mark comprising a plurality of colors. A cap is positionable over the applicator to inhibit the applicator from releasing the fluid pigments.

Provided is a fiber-bundled part for writing instruments having excellent strength and durability, as well as a pen tip and a writing instrument using the fiber-bundled part, which can be suitably used for pen tips, ink feed cores and relay cores of writing instruments such as marking pens and felt-tip pens. The fiber-bundled part for writing instruments of the present disclosure is used for the ink feed core leading to the pen tip or a writing pen core, and comprises a multifilament of long fibers having different melting points, and the multifilament at least contain crimped fibers.

A direct-liquid writing instrument includes a penholder, an ink feeder and a nib. One end of the penholder is provided with a writing portion, and the other end of the penholder is provided with an ink storage portion. The nib is partially inserted into the writing portion. The direct-liquid writing instrument also includes a first baffle and a second baffle that are spaced apart from each other to form an air barrier layer. The first baffle is in contact with the ink of the ink storage portion, and the second baffle is adjacent the writing portion. Additionally, the first baffle is provided with a first air-guiding channel, and a second air-guiding channel is provided between the second baffle and the ink feeder. The ink feeder passes through the first baffle, the air barrier layer, and the second baffle to deliver the ink to the nib.
