  • Patent number: 11472221
    Abstract: An object is to provide a writing implement allowing the width of a drawn line to be freely changed by writing pressure that is capable of application to a narrow-shafted felt-tip pen or marker pen. The writing implement includes a shall tube, an ink supply core that is housed inside the shaft tube and that guides ink by capillary action, and a core surrounding member that is fitted to a leading end of the shaft tube, that is penetrated by the ink supply core, and from which a tip of the ink supply core projects. The ink supply core is configured to retract at a tip of the core surrounding member under writing pressure, and a projection dimension of the ink supply core from the tip of the core surrounding member is from 0.05 mm to 0.7 mm.

  • Patent number: 10336129
    Abstract: Lines can be freely varied in thickness, and lines with characteristics such as “stops”, “flicks”, and “sweeping strokes” can be written easily, even with a felt-tip pen, marker pen, or the like. Moreover, a pen-tip does not readily become damaged or worn. A writing implement includes a shaft, an ink supply core such as that of a felt-tip pen or a marker pen, and a core surrounding member that covers the ink supply core. The writing implement is formed capable of contacting a tip of the ink supply core and a tip of the core surrounding member against a writing surface at the same time by using a joint capable of changing a relative positional relationship between the ink supply core and the core surrounding member.

  • Publication number: 20110111995
    Abstract: In this grease composition, a grease produced by mixing at least one base oil selected from a mineral oil-type lubricant base oil, a synthetic lubricant base oil, and a biodegradable lubricant base oil with a thickener is compounded with a wax and water, and an additive such as a surfactant and a defoamer is optionally compounded therewith. A soap containing a calcium sulfonate complex is used as the thickener. A carnauba wax is preferably used as the wax. Since this grease composition is mainly composed of a grease and a wax, the grease composition extremely facilities its removal operation after application, is environmentally friendly, and has extremely excellent anti-corrosion performance. When the grease composition is used by being applied to a base material of an object to be welded, an effect of preventing the adhesion of welding spatters can be obtained.
