  • Patent number: 11882917
    Abstract: A pencil device includes a body and a disposable cap. The disposable cap is selectively positionable so as to cover the first end of the body. The disposable cap includes a proximal end body portion having an opening, an opposite distal body portion having a storage cavity, and a built-in sharpener fixed between the proximal end body portion and the opposite distal body portion. The storage cavity is sealed for permanent storage of the shavings, A biasing member can be coupled to a side wall of the proximal end body portion configured to switch the disposable cap between a capping position and a sharpening position. Additional pressure is required to push the disposable cap from the capping position to the sharpening position. Upon release of the additional pressure, the disposable cap automatically returns to the capping position from the sharpening position.

  • Patent number: 11206911
    Abstract: A pencil (e.g., cosmetic pencil or otherwise) with a disposable cap including a built-in sharpener which is configured to permanently capture and store shavings produced as the pencil is sharpened. The cap with permanent shavings storage prevents accidental (or even intentional) emptying or other exit of generated shavings from the permanent storage cavity in the disposable cap, which shavings may smear or otherwise damage a user's purse, pocket, clothing, or the like. The device is configured to collect such shavings during the useful life of a single pencil body, after which period any remaining short stubby portion of the pencil body, and the associated disposable cap with built in sharpener (and permanent shavings storage) is discarded.
