Provided are a liquid storage and release device and a pen comprising the device. The liquid storage and release device comprises a tube shell (1), a capsule-like liquid container (3), a piercing component (4) and a piston rod (5), wherein the tube shell (1) is open at one end and closed at the other end, and the interior thereof is a tube cavity (2); the capsule-like liquid container (3) and/or the piercing component (4) is/are slidably arranged in the tube cavity (2); one end of the piston rod (5) is slidably arranged in the tube cavity (2) of the tube shell (1), and the other end of the piston rod (5) is provided with a liquid release opening (6); and the piston rod (5) is provided with a liquid channel through which the liquid release opening (6) is in communication with the tube cavity (2). When the piston rod (5) slides towards the interior of the tube cavity (2), the capsule-like liquid container (3) and the piercing component (4) apply pressure to each other under the action of the piston rod (5), so that the piercing component (4) pierces the capsule-like liquid container (3) so as to release the liquid pre-stored in the capsule-like liquid container (3).

A marking pen, comprising: a shaft cylinder; a porous pen core accommodated in the shaft cylinder, and configured to project from, and retract into, an opening part provided at a tip end of the shaft cylinder; an inner cotton accommodated in the shaft cylinder, and filled with an aqueous ink composition to be fed to the pen core, the aqueous ink composition including a water soluble organic solvent in an amount of from 20 mass % to 60 mass %; and a delivery mechanism configured to cause a tip end of the pen core to project from, and retract into, the opening part.

Provided is a pen including an ink reservoir to store an ink; a pen tip which has a proximal end and a distal end opposite to the proximal end and applies an ink to a coating target; an ink guide to guide the ink in the ink reservoir toward the pen tip; and a holder part which has a through hole through which the pen tip is inserted and holds at least the proximal end of the pen tip while exposing the distal end of the pen tip with the pen tip inserted through the through hole. The holder part includes: an ink holding part capable of holding the ink from the ink guide and formed at least partially around a circumference of the through hole; and a first opening opening on an inner circumferential surface that defines the through hole and communicating with the ink holding part.

An applicator includes a partition wall for partitioning between a storage chamber and a reservoir chamber, an application body that allows application of a liquid stored in the storage chamber, a relay member that transfers the liquid stored in the storage chamber passing through the partition wall toward the application body, a gas-liquid exchanging section formed at the partition wall for air-liquid exchanging with the liquid stored in the storage chamber, an occluding body that is disposed in the reservoir chamber, and in contact with the relay member for occluding the liquid, and a movement prevention section disposed at the relay member and/or the occluding body for preventing movement of the liquid held in the occluding body to the relay member.

Provided is a cosmetic liquid applicator that allows easy determination as to the completion state of replacement of an application liquid tank. The cosmetic liquid applicator includes a front barrel to which an application liquid tank for storing a liquid cosmetic to be fed to an applying part is attached and a rear barrel attached to the front barrel to cover the application liquid tank. The front barrel has on its peripheral surface a male threaded portion and a first engagement portion formed in the circumferential direction and located in the rear of the male threaded portion while the rear barrel has on its inner circumferential surface a female threaded portion to mate with the male threaded portion and a second engagement portion to be engaged with the first engagement portion.

A marker nib for applying ink to a surface may comprise an applicator having a writing tip configured to contact the surface to apply ink thereto, and a transporter configured to transport ink received from a reservoir to the applicator, the applicator being configured to increase its ink flow rate at the writing tip when pressure is applied thereto.
