  • Publication number: 20120301205
    Abstract: A writing implement with a mechanical eraser cartridge, having a forward-positioned eraser and method. The eraser and eraser cartridge runs practically the full length of the writing implement before splitting and deviating at a slight angle outward, near the writing end of the implement, slightly above the position, where upon, the writing end of the implement is held. The eraser is mechanically advanced through the eraser cartridge by the user, and exits the eraser cartridge down at the writing end of the implement.

  • Patent number: 7350995
    Abstract: A marker eraser system for efficiently combining an eraser with a dry erase marker. The marker eraser system includes a body having a tubular structure and a central aperture extending through the tubular structure. The central aperture extends through an inner end to an outer end of the body. An eraser member is attached to the outer end of the eraser unit to erase a removable ink from a dry erase marker. An outer end of the central aperture frictionally receives an outer portion of a first end of a cap of the dry erase marker to allow a user to removably attach the marker eraser system to the cap of the dry erase marker.

  • Publication number: 20080019759
    Abstract: A writing instrument includes an elongate body having opposed first and second ends, a longitudinal axis and a bore therein extending from the first end. A marking body, such as one having lead or a colored material, extends from the first end and is seated in the bore, while a connector is coupled to the second end. An eraser, such as a rubber eraser, is coupled to the connector and is configured to erase markings made by the marking body. The eraser includes a flat surface that is configured to prevent the writing instrument from rolling about the axis down an inclined surface contacting the elongate body. The flat surface may be oriented on a plane that is substantially parallel to the axis. The flat surface may also include a dimension perpendicular to the axis that is larger than another dimension of the elongate body which is also perpendicular to the axis.

  • Patent number: 6732407
    Abstract: A writing implement having a forward-positioned eraser, and method. The eraser circumscribes the shaft of the writing implement, and may have an annular or doughnut shape. The eraser may be affixed to the shaft portion, for example where used with a fixed-length writing implement such as a mechanical pencil or erasable pen. The eraser may, alternatively, be slidable along the shaft portion, which would make the eraser useable with a sharpenable pencil, the length of which will be changed as a result of sharpening.

  • Patent number: 6547465
    Abstract: A pencil has a fixed non-replaceable eraser and a moveable sleeve. The fixed non-replaceable eraser is elongated to provide a larger eraser to pencil ratio in order to have more erase cycles per write cycles. The moveable sleeve can be moved to selectively expose a portion of the eraser. A ferrule couples the pencil body and the eraser together and provides an outer surface to engage an inner surface of the moveable sleeve. In one embodiment, a threaded female slot in the outer surface of the ferrule engages a male threaded tab in the inner surface of the sleeve. In another embodiment, a plurality of concentric slots in the outer surface of the ferrule engage a tab in the inner surface of the sleeve.
