Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for manufacturing coated sleeves, whereby the sleeve is positioned vertically and held stationary, while a feed pipe is introduced from below, by vertical displacement, concentrically into the sleeve. Also from below, an excess of fluid is supplied under pressure, through the feed pipe. The fluid is allowed to emanate from an upper end outlet of the feed pipe and allowed to flow by gravity in the small gap which is formed between the feed pipe and the internal walls of the sleeve. The internal walls of the sleeve are thereby coated with the fluid, while at the same time, the coating of the outside of the sleeve is prevented. The invention also relates to a writing pen comprising a coated sleeve.
