Patent number: 8080098Abstract: In a water-based ink composition of the present invention, 2.5 to 50 wt % of white-colored resin particles and 2.5 to 50 wt % of film-forming resin emulsions in a solid content are contained with respect to the total amount of the ink, the ratio of said white-colored resin particles to film-forming resin emulsions is 1:0.2 to 1:3, and not less than 20 wt % of said white-colored resin particles and film-forming resin emulsions in a solid content are contained in total.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2005Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Sakura Color Products CorporationInventors: Norimasa Kurihara, Shoko Matsumoto, Kyoko Sano, Yasunori Nakatani, Hiroyoshi Yamamoto, Kozaburo Fujita, Hiroshi Inoue, Takeshi Omatsu, Shigeki Yoneda, Tomohiro Sawa

Patent number: 7914222Abstract: A tip unit (1) incorporated in a liquid applicator such as a ball-point pen, the tip unit being capable of an increased rate of liquid discharge with no leaking or clogging problem. To achieve it, the tip unit (1) is accommodated in a tip body (11) having a ball housing (15), a ball (10), a capillary hole (16), and a proximal bore, the ball housing (15) being a passage for allowing liquid to flow therethrough, the ball (10) being rotatively held in the ball housing (15). The ball housing (15) is provided with at least one ink channel (47) adapted to communicate the ball housing (15) with the capillary hole (16) or the proximal bore. The ball housing (15) has a ball resting seat (45) and a side wall (41) that are connected by a connecting surface (71) having a shape of a truncated conical surface with its apex toward the distal end of the tip unit (1).Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Sakura Color Products CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Inoue, Norimasa Kurihara, Shoko Matsumoto, Kyoko Sano, Takeshi Omatsu, Shigeki Yoneda, Yasunori Nakatani, Hiroyoshi Yamamoto, Kozaburo Fujita

Patent number: 7721402Abstract: A method for producing a tip unit for a liquid applicator including: a first process of shaping the contour of a tip body in the form of a truncated conical surface; a second process of forming a ball housing having an open end at its distal end in the tip body; a third process of placing a ball into the ball housing; a fourth process of scraping the peripheral side of the distal end portion of the tip body to form a peripherally scraped portion after the first process; and a fifth process of deforming the peripherally scraped distal end portion of the tip body toward the ball.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Sakura Color Products CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Inoue, Norimasa Kurihara, Shoko Matsumoto, Kyoko Sano, Takeshi Omatsu, Shigeki Yoneda, Yasunori Nakatani, Hiroyoshi Yamamoto, Kozaburo Fujita

Patent number: 7538148Abstract: The ink of the present invention comprises at least a three-dimensional film-forming component and water, comprises an adhesive synthetic resin emulsion as said three-dimensional film-forming component, and comprises at least 30% by weight of said adhesive synthetic resin emulsion on the basis of the solid content with respect to the total amount of the ink, and minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) of said adhesive synthetic resin emulsion is not greater than 25° C. and further, said ink comprises 1 to 3% by weight of a film-forming assistant with respect to the total amount of the ink.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Sakura Color Products CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Inoue, Norimasa Kurihara, Shoko Matsumoto, Kyoko Sano, Takeshi Omatsu, Shigeki Yoneda, Yasunori Nakatani, Hiroyoshi Yamamoto, Kozaburo Fujita

Publication number: 20060260112Abstract: A method for producing a tip unit (1) for a liquid applicator in a stable and easy process, the tip unit (1) being capable of increasing the rate of liquid discharge is provided. The method includes at least five processes; that is, a first process of shaping the contour of a tip body (11) in the form of a truncated conical surface; a second process of forming a ball housing (15) having an open end at its distal end in the tip body (11); a third process of placing a ball (10) into the ball housing (15); a fourth process of scraping the peripheral side of the distal end portion of the tip body (11) to form a peripherally scraped portion (55) after the first process; and a fifth process of deforming the peripherally scraped distal end portion of the tip body (11) toward the ball (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2004Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventors: Hiroshi Inoue, Norimasa Kurihara, Shoko Matsumoto, Kyoko Sano, Takeshi Omatsu, Shigeki Yoneda, Yasunori Nakatani, Hiroyoshi Yamamoto, Kozaburo Fujita
