Abstract: A writing implement with a sealing element on a closing cap is mountable over a writing insert having a concentric writing tip, wherein the projecting part of the writing insert is provided with abutment faces and threads on which the closing cap is screwed.

Abstract: A device for receiving a writing implement has a housing, a resiliently yieldable sealing member in the housing and adapted to sealingly abut against a writing tubular member of the writing implement, and a wetting member in the housing and located in spaced relationship with a pressure-equalizing passage of the writing implement as well as communicating with the passage. The resiliently yieldable member may be composed of two axially movable balls which are received in a cylindrical portion of the housing and axially limited by two axially spaced collars. The cylindrical portion may be connected with a conical extension which, in turn, may be connected with a further cylindrical portion received in the receiving opening of the housing. These portions may be of one-piece with each other so as to form a one-piece insert member.
