Abstract: A writing instrument, in particular a pen, comprises a housing comprising a front barrel and a rear barrel, the front barrel having a front opening, two or more cartridges for storing colorants or inks, each cartridge having a writing tip, at least one actuator for selectively moving one of the cartridges within the housing so that the writing tip of a selected cartridge extends through the front opening of the front barrel, and a cartridge guide member which is designed to guide the movement of the cartridges within the housing. The front barrel and the cartridge guide member are designed to be removed from the rear barrel for replacing one or more of the cartridges. In particular, the front barrel and the cartridge guide member may be removed from the rear barrel while the cartridge guide member may remain mounted to the front member at the same time.

Abstract: Writing instrument having a body, a clip, and a retractable eraser device movable between a first position and a second position, the clip forming a housing that is designed to receive all or part of a gripping portion of the eraser device in the first position.

Abstract: A storage and presentation device for storing and presenting a plurality of longitudinal hand held implements, the storage and presentation device presenting a plurality of supports, each support being configured to support one longitudinal hand held implement, all of the supports being mounted to be rotatable about a common axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal directions of the longitudinal hand held implements when they are supported by the supports. The storage and presentation device presenting a storage position in which the angle between all of the supports about the axial direction is less than 2°, and a presentation position in which, for all of the supports, the angle between two adjacent supports about the axial direction is greater than or equal to 5°.

Abstract: 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.
