  • Publication number: 20080101845
    Abstract: A rolling marker assembly enables a user to mark serially-presented, repeating patterns upon a marking surface. The marker assembly comprises an outer casing and a marking caster assembly. The caster assembly comprises a marker carriage and a rotating pen assembly. The marker carriage comprises a casing attachment member and certain pen assembly-receiving structure. The pen assembly comprises an inner pen core, a plurality of ink-applying tiles, and a marker rotation axis. Each tile is adapted for receiving and applying ink. The pen assembly is rotatably received by the marker carriage via the pen assembly-receiving structure. The caster assembly is rotatably attached to the casing. The ink-applying tiles comprise raised patterns. The casing is manually traceable adjacent a marking surface such that the raised patterns are engageable upon the marking surface for applying ink thereto.

  • Patent number: 7104196
    Abstract: A rolling marker assembly enables a user to mark serially-presented, repeating patterns upon a marking surface. The marker assembly comprises an outer casing and a marking caster assembly. The marking caster assembly comprises at least one compressible medium-dispensing pad and at least one pad mask. The pad mask comprises at least one patterned aperture. The medium-dispensing pad is impregnated with a compression-releasable marking medium. The caster assembly is rotatable about an axis of rotation and the medium-dispensing pad is compressible against the pad mask thus forming at least one pattern-exposed pad portion adjacent the patterned aperture. The marker assembly is manually traceable adjacent a marking surface and the pattern-exposed pad portion is compressible upon the marking surface for dispensing the marking medium therefrom for marking a pattern upon the marking surface. The casing enables the user to more effectively guide and compress the caster assembly for marking the pattern(s).
