Abstract: An improved writing point assembly for stylographic, or tube pens and a method for making such an improved writing point. The writing tube itself may be formed by a deep drawing operation and then secured, in a surrounding relationship, to the front end of a plastic cylindrical member, which itself may be formed by being injection molded within the writing tube.
Abstract: A plant container is formed from a plastic foam cup having a funnel-shaped sidewall and a disk-shaped bottom closing the small end of the sidewall by severing a first portion of the cup, including the bottom and a part of the sidewall, from a second portion of the cup, including the remaining part of the sidewall, along a plane perpendicular to a central axis passing through the cup and inserting and wedging the first portion into the second portion.
