Abstract: A ball point pen has a hollow nib member (2) attached to the end of a cylindrical body (1) enclosing a ink reservoir (3), the forward end of the nib member being spaced from the axis (B) of the body and having a tip element (4) welded thereto so that the writing ball (6) incorporated in the tip is located on the same side of the axis (B) as the forward end of the nib member.
Abstract: A marking instrument, especially a reservoir pen, has a diaphragm which is deflected by retraction of a marking tip to open a port to connect a feed channel to the reservoir containing a marking fluid. A cavity communicating with the port has a volume which reduces when the diaphragm deflects to open the valve and increases when the diaphragm moves to close the valve. The diaphragm has an integral forwardly extending skirt which seals against the feed member at the forward end of the skirt. These features are effective in preventing marking liquid flowing to the tip when not required and leakage of marking fluid between the diaphragm and feed member.
