A device for dosed dispensing of a fluid medium is provided with a pen-like housing which has a storage chamber for accommodating the fluid medium and which has at its front end a tip in which there is provided an outlet opening for the fluid medium. Arranged in the front end is a valve element which closes the outlet opening under the force of a spring and is arranged such that it at least partially opens the outlet opening in the event of radial pressure being applied from the outside on the front end of the housing. The valve element is arranged in a tiltable manner at the outlet opening.

A marker comprising: a body comprising a marker fluid absorber, a marker fluid reservoir, and a flow pipe fluidly coupling the reservoir to the absorber, and a marking core extending from the absorber to outside the body.

A cosmetic applicator capable of stably applying a cosmetic even when the cosmetic contains large particles. A cosmetic applicator includes a barrel, a brush made of bundled fibers and provided in front of the barrel, a cosmetic accommodation portion arranged in a space behind the barrel, a guide that guides a cosmetic from the cosmetic accommodation portion to the brush, a collector that has a comb-shaped outer circumferential surface and that is disposed inside the barrel and at an outer circumferential portion of the guide, and a front barrel supporting the brush at a front portion of the barrel. A capillary force of the guide is 50 to 200 (mm) (as measured using purified water in an environment of 25 C.). (B)/(A) is 0.8 or greater, where (A) (mg) is an amount of cosmetic liquid discharged for 1 (m), and (B) (mg) is an amount of cosmetic liquid discharged for 1 (m) after 30 (m).
