Abstract: A hand-held device for transferring a film of material from a backing tape onto a substrate that includes a housing having a first housing member and a second housing member, as well as an application member around which the tape is guided and which is designed to be pressed against a substrate in order to transfer the film. The first and second housing member are mounted telescopically with each other such that in an extended position one of the housing members cover the application member and in a pushed-back position the application member is exposed for usage.

Abstract: A frictional clutch for a hand-held device for transferring a film from a backing tape onto a substrate comprises a first main member having a cylindrical element coaxially protruding into a circular center opening of a second main member. The first and second main member are supported such that they can carry out a relative rotational movement. The second main member include coaxial tensioning elements for holding and pre-tensioning an elastic ring guided around the tensioning elements. The tensioning elements are geometrically arranged such that the ring is exposed in the form of at least one secant-shaped leg in the center opening. The secant-shaped leg of the ring is biased radially outwards when the cylindrical element of the first main member is inserted into the center opening of the second member in order to produce a frictional force between the ring and the circumferential wall of the cylindrical element.

Abstract: A fixed-nib writing instrument having a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis (A) and at the front of which a protective sleeve is mounted such that it can move coaxially with respect to the shaft, the sleeve moving between a protecting position in which it covers the writing nib and a retracted position in which it enables writing, the sleeve having a wall section which includes at least one helical guide path in engagement with at least one peg connected to the shaft in order that a rotation of the sleeve causes the latter to slide translationally between the protecting position and the retracted position.

Abstract: A writing instrument, which has an inner and outer writing element with separate writing medium reservoirs. The writing elements are coaxially mounted in an outer barrel and axially moveable with respect to one another. A driving mechanism may be actuated to allow a user to selectively extend one writing element. The inner and outer writing elements may have an inner sleeve therebetween to improve, for instance, rigidity of the outer writing element and to prevent contamination of the writing medium reservoirs. An outer sleeve may also be provided over the outer writing element. The outer sleeve can function to hold various components of the outer writing element together, and to allow for clean and easy refill of the outer writing element, especially when the outer writing element is a nib-type writing element with a filler-type reservoir. The writing instrument is designed so that a user can replace the inner and/or outer writing elements when their respective writing medium have been expended.
