None.
This invention relates to pens and particularly ones that are intended for children to use on walls with a cleaning solution to clean up.
Children love to write on everything and everywhere leading sometimes to massive clean ups or repairs as permanent markers are porous pens that can write on surfaces such as glass, plastic, wood, metal, and stone. The ink is generally resistant to rubbing and water, and can last for many years and difficult to clean up.
Several major companies, such as Crayola, have crayons and markers that are designed and marketed for children to use to write on bathtubs and bathroom walls. The markings are easily washed from the walls.
There are also special paints on the market that allow a wall to be more easily cleaned when written on, by acting like a chalkboard or a dry-erase surface.
But there is nothing which combines the writing pen with cleaning solutions.
There is still room for improvement in the art.
The current invention are pens that an individual can use to write, color, or draw on certain household surfaces. The pens have an ink with a cleaning agent, which allows easy cleaning of the marks, as well as assisting in cleaning other residual buildup.
The marker has an outer casing consisting of three parts. There is a central tube and a cap on each end. The central tube houses the writing fluid. The “writing end” of the tube tapers, so the writing fluid is held in place while in use. The cap on the “writing end” is fitted to be securely held on the outside of the tube, but easily removed from the tube. The cap on the “eraser end” would be fitted to be securely held on the inside of the tube. This cap is removed when changing out the writing fluid. This cap has an eraser to remove writing fluid.
The writing fluid can be of any variety of color and can be rapidly changed out based on user choice. All the writing fluid would have a cleaning agent.
This product can be used to the free creativity of the user or it can be paired with separate designs. Designs would be on transparent plastic sheets and could include things such as connect-the-dots, color by number, or even designs for visual or kinetic learning.
Without restricting the full scope of this invention, the preferred form of this invention is illustrated in the following drawings:
There are a number of significant design features and improvements incorporated within the invention.
The current invention is an innovative pen with cleaning agent as shown in
The current invention are pens 1 that an individual can use to write, color, or draw on certain household surfaces. The pens 1 have an ink with a cleaning agent, which allows easy cleaning of the marks, as well as assisting in cleaning other residual buildup.
The marker 1 has an outer casing consisting of three parts. There is a cylindrical central tube 10 and a cap on each end as shown in
The writing ink with cleaning agent is transferred from the inside of the central tube 10 to the tip 50 through adsorption.
The cap 30 on the “eraser end” would be fitted to be securely held on the inside of the tube. This cap is removed when changing out the writing fluid. This cap 30 has an eraser to remove writing fluid.
The user would remove the writing cap 20 and use the pen 1 to write on any surface using the tip 50. The user can use the eraser end 30 to erase any unwanted ink from a surface.
The writing fluid can be of any variety of color and can be rapidly changed out based on user choice. The writing fluid is non-toxic and contains a cleaning agent
This product can be used to the free creativity of the user or it can be paired with separate designs. Designs would be on transparent plastic sheets and could include things such as connect-the-dots, color by number, or even designs for visual or kinetic learning.
Advantages
The innovative pens allow a child to write on household surfaces without causing hard to clean stains, allowing parents to relax while giving children a greater range of freedom. Have a self-cleaning agent and eraser makes it so the pen is not only easily cleaned, but can also help clean the surfaces. The inclusion of a cleaning agent marks a fundamental shift from other products which are simply less difficult to clean. Thus, this product is less restricted in where it can be used than other products, such as bath time crayons and markers, because of the self-cleaning agent.
Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain preferred versions thereof, other versions are possible such as different tension means, bobber shapes and sizes and different colored lights. Therefore, the point and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the preferred versions contained herein.
As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
