Abstract: A method of applying fluid paint utilizes a marking device having a fluid paint-filled reservoir, a tip comprising a spring-loaded ball and its spring, and pressure means, such as collapsible walls or a pressure device, to apply pressure to the fluid. The paint, applied to a fabric as a decoration, is an oil-in-water emulsion in which oil mixture droplets (globules) are evenly dispersed in the water phase. The oil droplets are composed of an oil mixture preferably based on an oil-modified polyurethane or oil-modified alkyd or other oil-modified resin and drying agents. The oil-in-water emulsion contains a surfactant, a gellant, and an anti-foam agent. The pigment dispersion may be in the oil droplets or in the water phase.

Abstract: A marking pen comprises a hollow cylindrical ink reservoir and a removable writing tip. It may also include a pressure means which, upon hand actuation, applies pressure to the viscous ink within the reservoir. The writing tip (nozzle) is a hollow plastic member having an internal flange to position a spring and means to hold a hollow cylindrical metal member. The spring is held between the flange and a ball, the ball partly protruding from the orifice of the inwardly flanged valve-type seat of the metal member.
