Patent number: 5957608Abstract: Basic configuration of a cap is as follows. When the end face of an elastic seal cylinder arranged in a cap for a writing instrument is caused to abut against and come into tight contact with the end portion of the mouth piece of a barrel cylinder to hermetically seal a point assembly and the opening portion of an air groove, first, the distal end of the point assembly is hermetically sealed with the bottom of the seal cylinder. The inner opening edge portion of the seal cylinder fits on the conical portion of an ink reservoir or of a point assembly support from an intermediate portion of the conical portion, and is gradually attached to the barrel cylinder while widening the opening portion of the seal cylinder in the radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: Mitsubishi Pencil Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuaki Matsumoto, Hiroyuki Mutou

Patent number: 5678941Abstract: A fluid applicator which makes application work easy because liquid splash outside the container body is prevented by opening the valve by removing the cap such that the liquid is supplied directly to the applicator member from the container body. The valve body incorporated in a sealed chamber is pressed against the shouldered seal portion to bring the sealed chamber into communication with the connecting passage such that the liquid discharged from the container body is allowed to flow into the sealed chamber through a hollow shaft member and is further led through a connecting passage into the applicator attachment hole to which the applicator member is attached.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1995Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd.Inventor: Nobuyuki Nakajima

Patent number: 4573818Abstract: A modular writing instrument cap system is disclosed, in which each individual cap comprises an elongated tubular portion having an open end and a closed end. Near the closed end the cap is internally provided with a seal member adapted to seal with a writing instrument holding quick-drying ink. Near the open end, the tubular portion is internally provided with a catch for removably securing the cap on a writing instrument. Externally on the closed end, the cap is provided with a transversely-oriented open ended tubular barrel. The barrel is configured to receive an internally threaded sleeve, terminator rings and screws which thread towards one another through the rings into the opposite ends of the sleeve in order to hold the assembly together and secure a bail to it. The ends of the barrel and corresponding ends of the terminator rings are cooperatively notched to accommodate the legs of the bail.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1984Date of Patent: March 4, 1986Assignee: Platinum Pen Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kimio Kodera
