Patent number: 10195623Abstract: A marker airbrush device for transferring marking solution from a marking device onto a writing surface using air is provided. The airbrush device includes a housing with an air outlet, a dual-action trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet, and a marker positioner coupled to the housing. The dual-action trigger may be either pushed down or pulled back to control air flow through the air outlet. The marker positioner positions a marking device relative to the air outlet such that air traveling through the air outlet contacts at least one surface of the marking device to transfer marking solution onto a writing surface. The marker positioner may include a rotatable collar that couples the marking device within the marker position and creates a seal around the marking device to prevent pressurized air from escaping around the marking device.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Crayola, LLCInventors: Douglas Brand, Adam Scott Sharp, Thomas R. Rau, Adam Sandt, John D. McBride, Jr.

Patent number: 10081027Abstract: A marker airbrush device for transferring marking solution from a marking device onto a writing surface using air is provided. The airbrush device includes a housing with an air outlet, a trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet, and a marker positioner coupled to the housing. The marker positioner positions a marking device relative to the air outlet such that air traveling through the air outlet contacts at least one surface of the marking device to transfer marking solution onto a writing surface. In embodiments, rotation of a portion of the marker positioner advances and/or retracts the marking device with respect to the flow of air through the air outlet, thereby altering the angle and/or amount of air that contacts the marking device during spraying.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: CRAYOLA, LLCInventors: Douglas Brand, Adam Scott Sharp, Thomas R. Rau, Adam Sandt, John D. McBride, Jr.
