Manual applicator
The invention relates to the field of manual applicators, and in particular a manual applicator for applying a material on a substrate such as a sheet of paper. The manual applicator comprises a housing, an applicator endpiece projecting beyond a front opening of the housing, and a C-shaped handle. In a first section plane and in at least one section plane different from the first section plane and not parallel with the first section plane, the housing presents the same external outline adapted to be pressed into an internal outline of the handle, thereby enabling the handle to be fastened in a first orientation and alternatively in at least one second orientation different from the first orientation, the handle being oriented in the first section plane in the first orientation and in the second section plane in the second orientation. The first and second section planes are substantially in alignment with a longitudinal axis of the housing.
Tablet with interconnection features
The present invention provides tablets with interconnection features and a system of multiple tablet assemblies removably interconnected to one another. The tablets may be removably mounted to a vertical surface or positioned on a horizontal surface. Features of the present invention allow a user to remove or move one tablet from the system without disrupting or moving the other tablets.
COATING FILM TRANSFER TOOL
A coating film transfer tool may include a casing that houses a feeding reel around which a transferable tape is wound and a winding reel; and a transfer head having a main body portion arranged in a front side which is one side of a front-rear direction of the casing to extend in a left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction in a front end portion and provided with a pressing edge portion adapted for transferring the coating film to a transfer target surface. The casing or a base member housed in the casing may have a protruding tip that extends to the transfer head side and is connected to the transfer head. The protruding tip may press a part of an area including a center of the left-right direction of the main body portion to the transfer target surface side in the event of a transfer.
Coating film transfer tool including a roller for removing debris adhered to a transfer roller
A coating film transfer tool has a head part in order to provide a coating film transfer tool that is capable of reducing operation failure of an internal mechanism such as a rotation transmission mechanism, and improving feeling of use. The head part is provided with a transfer roller for transferring a coating film layer of a transfer tape T to a transferred surface by abutting on a back side of the transfer tape T. In addition, the head part is provided with a debris removal roller for removing debris of the coating film layer of the transfer tape T adhering to the transfer roller. The debris removal roller is disposed at a rear of the transfer roller and is arranged in close proximity to or in contact with the transfer roller.
FLUID APPLICATOR REFILL SYSTEM
The present invention provides devices, systems, and methods for refilling a refillable fluid applicator, such as but not limited to a refillable dry erase marker. The devices, systems, and methods of the present invention advantageously allow the fluid applicator to be refilled quickly, easily, and inexpensively, and provide the benefit of significantly reducing the quantity of solid plastic waste associated with conventional disposable dry erase markers and other fluid applicators.
Methods and Apparatuses for Pigment Application and Removal
A pigment application and removal apparatus, variations, and methods of using. The apparatus or device comprises a housing portion with a reservoir compartment and interfaces for pigment application and for pigment removal. The reservoir compartment houses and supplies pigment to the pigment form interface that is applied to a surface. A person swivels the device in one hand to switch to pigment removal at the pigment removal interface.
Retractable element for a writing implement
A writing implement has a writing tip extending from the barrel for writing and a rubbing element that surrounds the writing tip that is selectively extendable from a housing to erase or change color of the writing and retractable into the housing for storage.
Erasing implement and writing implement provided with erasing implement
Provided are an erasing implement and a writing implement equipped with the erasing implement, the erasing implement being capable of erasing writing regardless of the type of ink or lead of the writing implement, even writing with thermochromic ink or writing with pencil lead. The erasing implement is equipped with a first erasing member for erasing writing with thermochromic ink and a second erasing member for erasing writing of types other than thermochromic ink, and is configured by covering the outer surface of the second erasing member with the first erasing member.
Marker for optical mark response forms
A writing instrument includes a first reservoir for dispensing a first fluid having a first property of reflectivity. A first tip member is in fluid connection with the first reservoir. The first tip member has an end with a size and shape that corresponds to a response area of the response form. A second reservoir can be used for dispensing a second fluid, which is capable of modifying the first property of reflectivity when covering the first fluid. A second tip member is in fluid connection with the second reservoir. The second tip member has an end with a size and shape that corresponds to the response area of the response form.
ERASER ASSEMBLY
An eraser assembly is provided that includes a housing, a tray, and a coupler disposed between a surface of the tray and a surface of the housing. The housing has a concave shape including an interior portion. The tray has a retaining portion disposed in the interior portion and a mounting portion disposed opposite of the retaining portion. The coupler is configured to releasably hold the tray to the housing. An eraser insert configured to be disposed in the interior portion of the housing and to be enclosed by the tray.
