A multicolor writing instrument with an automatic return function includes a lower housing having a hollow cylindrical shape; an upper housing connected to an upper portion of the lower housing and formed with locking steps; a clip member hingedly provided on the upper housing so as to be movable about a hinge shaft; a coil spring resiliently installed between the clip member and the upper housing; pen cores filled with at least two different color inks; knobs having ends fitted into the respective pen cores; return springs resiliently installed between the pen cores and the knobs; and a return member formed integrally with the clip member on one side of the hinge shaft and toward the respective knobs.

A multi-color writing marker may comprise a tubular marker barrel connected to a motor housing. The marker barrel may house a cartridge removably coupled to a drive shaft connected to a motor. The cartridge may include a plurality of reservoirs containing writing liquids of different colors. A marker tip may be mounted on a distal end of the cartridge. The marker tip supports a plurality of marker nibs corresponding to the number of cartridge reservoirs. Each marker nib may be in fluid communication with a corresponding reservoir. Actuation of the motor spins the cartridge and marker nibs while a user is simultaneous creating a design on the writing surface.

A writing device can be configured to provide ink or a colored dye upon a piece of paper or other medium. Such a writing device can include a plurality of separately extendable writing elements and a housing with a plurality of holes upon a terminal end of the housing, each hole providing a dedicated outlet hole for one of the writing elements, the housing comprising one of an elliptical cross section, a circular cross section, and a rounded off square cross section.

A writing instrument such as a pen or stylus, that is capable of writing contemporaneously in different physical characteristics, such as color and visual appearancethat is, without the need to switch out different cartridges to write in different characteristics; as well as to an ink device for such a writing instrument, such as a multi-cartridge tip having multiple nibs, where the multiple nibs can be used to write on a substrate contemporaneously. A writing instrument herein can be configured to write at a substantially perpendicular angle to the substrate, or slightly angled for ease of a user's hand position. A writing instrument that encompasses both electronic and manual (ink) features is also contemplated.
