Abstract: A fan spray device is provided with a housing having a shape of a character head. A fan assembly is provided on the character head housing with a propeller for generating a stream of forced air away from the housing. A spray assembly is provided on the housing proximate to the propeller to dispense liquid into the stream of forced air. A handle is operably connected to the housing for movement between a retracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A fan spray device is provided with a housing defining a liquid reservoir, a port providing access to the liquid reservoir, and a handle portion. A fan assembly is provided on the housing. A spray assembly, proximate the fan assembly, dispenses liquid from the liquid reservoir. A character head, mounted on the housing, is spaced apart from the port. Also, a fan spray device having a housing is provided. The housing has base and handle portions, a front portion spaced apart from the handle portion, and an upper portion connecting the front and handle portions. A liquid reservoir is disposed within the handle portion. The upper portion has a port in fluid communication with the liquid reservoir to receive liquid therethrough to store in the liquid reservoir. A fan assembly is mounted on the front portion. A spray assembly is provided to dispense liquid from the liquid reservoir.

Abstract: At least one embodiment of the present invention relates to an erasable ink composition particularly useful in a writing instrument for simultaneous the appearance of a graphite pencil. The composition of the present invention comprises a solvent system, a rubber and a pigment. The solvent system used in the present invention comprises an organic ester and a component selected from the group consisting of an optionally substituted cycloalkane, an optionally substituted cycloalkanone, an optionally substituted cycloalkene, or mixtures thereof. A sufficient amount of the solvent system is present so that the erasable ink composition will flow in a writing instrument. Preferably, the erasable ink composition of the present invention includes a pigment comprising graphite and carbon black. Finally, the erasable ink composition optionally includes a plasticizer, a liquid butene, or one or more additives selected from the group consisting of a corrosion inhibitor, a flow enhancing compound, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a writing instrument is provided. The writing instrument includes a writing tip mechanically coupled to first and second holding parts and separable first and second pieces positionable on the writing instrument, and at least partially retained in a sequence by the first and second holding parts. The first and second pieces include first and second anti-rotation configurations, respectively, that act to prevent their rotation with respect to one another.
