Abstract: A writing implement with a sleeve, which has an open front end and in which a lead is displaceably retained by means of a spindle-drive mechanism having a rotary element, wherein the lead, which cooperates with the rotary element, itself forms the spindle and is secured in the sleeve against rotation. Inside of the sleeve, elastic lamellae are provided which engage recesses located on the outside of the lead.

Abstract: A hand-operated tool for transferring a film from a tape to a substrate includes a housing from which a film transfer member projects outwards and in which a film supply reel, from which the tape is pulled over the transfer member for transferring the film, and a winding-up reel are rotatably mounted, and a sliding coupling is provided for a torque transmission from the supply reel to the winding-up reel, the empty tape being wound up on the winding-up reel after transfer of the film (11) at the transfer member; at a bottom side of the housing which, when transferring the film to the substrate, faces this substrate, in a transition region between a housing part accommodating the transfer member and a housing part housing the reels, a supporting member defining a tilting support is provided on both sides of the housing main middle plane, which supporting member, in combination with the transfer member, provides a three-point support on the substrate.

Abstract: A reel arrangement (1) for a device for transferring a film present on one side of a film strip to a substrate, said reel arrangement comprising a supply reel (3) for the film strip, a take-up reel (2) coaxial with said supply reel (3) and provided for the film strip after transfer of the film, the supply and takeup reels (3, 2) being interengaged by means of a slipping clutch, and an elastic spring element (8), preferably a helical compression spring, acting in axial direction of the common axis of rotation of the supply and take-up reels (3, 2) being provided to realize the slipping clutch, and the supply reel (3) being non-rotationally connected to a clutch part (5) passing through an inner aperture of the take-up reel (2), which clutch part has a frictional face (15?) associated with the supply reel (3), which frictional face is resiliently pressed towards a frictional face (14) of the take-up reel (2) with the help of the elastic spring element (8).

Abstract: A pen-shaped applicator (1) for applying a liquid, in particular glue, on a substrate comprises a container (2) out of which the liquid can be pressed and a dosing part (6) arranged on one end face of the container (2) and having a dispensing layer (8) with openings for the liquid. A spring-loaded valve body (13) with which a valve seat (12) is associated is arranged inside the dispensing layer (8). The dispensing layer (8) is made of plastics and formed in a single piece with the dosing part (6), in particular by injection molding.

Abstract: A reel arrangement (8) for a device for transferring a film (2) located on one side of a foil tape (1) to a substrate, comprising a feed reel (4) for the foil tape (1), a take-up reel (5) for the foil tape (1) after the film (2) has been transferred, said take-up reel being coaxial with the feed reel (4), and a friction coupling (9) between the two reels (4, 5) so as to drive the take-up reel (5) from the feed reel-(4) side under slipping, wherein the friction coupling (9) comprises radially resilient arms (30) which are non-rotationally connected with the feed reel (4) and which engage an end face groove (26) on the take-up reel (5) by means of engaging projections (28), the engaging projections (28) frictionally abutting the groove walls (32, 33).

Abstract: A pen for applying a color liquid whose sleeve part (1) includes an outlet port (3) for the color liquid, closable by a valve. The valve comprises a spring means incorporating at least one leaf spring (6, 6') or a disk spring, and a guiding element (4) pressed by the spring means against a sphere (5) which thereby is biased towards the outflow port (3). When the pen tip is pressed against an underlying substrate, the sphere (5) assumes an open position. The leaf or disk springs (6; 6') can be made of plastics and can be produced in one piece with the guiding element (4).

Abstract: A solid correction material for covering writing or drawing errors on paper is disclosed. The correction material may be formed into a stick and housed in hollow body and is composed of: (a) 5-40 wt % of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, preferably a homo- or copolymer based on (meth)acrylic compounds; (b) 10-70 wt % of a pigment, preferably a titanium dioxide pigment; (c) 5-20 wt % of a mono- or polyvalent alcohol, preferably glycerin being preferred; (d) 5-30 wt % of carrier mixture composed of (i) a fatty acid with 12 to 32 carbon atoms or a salt of a fatty acid, with stearate being preferred, and (ii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin and an ester wax, possibly 5 to 15 wt % water; and (e) 0 to 10 wt % of conventional additives, such as defoaming agents, dyes, aroma substances, and preservatives. The correction material is solid at room temperature and has a viscosity between about 100 and about 150 cPa.s at 90.degree. C.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive copying material which employs a color-producing substance and a color substance-accepting material is disclosed. The color substance-accepting material contains, as reaction components, a chloride of a metal having an atomic weight of from 50-66, together with a urea or its derivatives and a binding agent. The color-producing substance includes a dyestuff which is combined with the binding agent and reacts with the color substance-accepting material during color formation.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive transfer sheet, includes a carrier sheet having at least one surface portion, a substrate disposed on the surface portion and a transfer layer disposed on the substrate. The substrate includes two chemical compositions which react together under pressure contact in order to change the color of one and the transfer layer transfers by pressure the new color to an object.

Abstract: A sliding cover, for use in connection with duplicating ink or dye receptacles of duplicating machines, has an outlet for discharging duplicating ink or dye fluid into a duct for distribution in the duplicating machine, and a reservoir formed about the discharge opening for retaining duplicating fluid that may have leaked from the interconnection.

Abstract: A hot-melt adhesive produced from a number of polymers which have been at least partially cross-linked and which may be applied to a suitable carrier as a melt.
