The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The present invention relates generally to the field of coating instruments with material supply and more specifically relates to writing instruments.
Many people can find using a writing implement with ink to be frustrating as it can be difficult to prevent smearing the ink. Left-handed people, in particular, have difficulty writing from left to right without smudging and also may not be able to clearly see what they are writing. Artists and illustrators also can experience difficulty drawing in detail without smearing or smudging. These issues are caused by the shape of the typical writing instrument. A suitable solution is desired.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,639,506 to Lory George relates to a curve pen adapter. The described curve pen adapter includes a device which permits a straight-bladed pen to serve satisfactorily either as a ruling pen or as a curve pen regardless of whether it is a single straight bladed ruling pen or a straight-bladed railroad requires only one instrument to serve either a ruling pen or curve pen.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known coating instruments with material supply art, the present disclosure provides a novel writing instrument system. The general purpose of the present disclosure, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a writing instrument having an elongated tip with a curvature which is superior to others in that it effectively provides a writing instrument with an improved form, allowing for increased control and comfort.
A writing instrument system is disclosed herein. The writing instrument system includes an elongated tip having a nib and a piercing tip. The nib is positioned at a first-end of the elongated tip and the piercing tip is positioned at a second-end of the elongated tip. The elongated tip is in fluid communication with the nib. The piercing tip is configured to penetrate an ink cartridge of a pen such that the elongated tip is affixed to the pen. The piercing tip is in fluid communication with the elongated tip and allows ink to flow from a penetrated the ink cartridge or tube through the elongated tip to the nib; Ink is then evenly dispensed and applied to a surface. The elongated tip is an adapter and includes a curvature forming a hook-shape and allowing a user to have a clear view of where the nib contacts the surface providing increased accuracy and precision.
For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and methods of use for the present disclosure, a writing instrument system, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to coating instruments with material supply and more particularly to a writing instrument system as used to improve the use of writing instruments by providing an ergonomic pen attachment.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a writing instrument having an elongated tip with a curvature may comprise an elongated tip attachment for an ink pen. The elongated tip has a curvature that resembles the shape of a dolphin and includes a firm, felt or plastic nib for distributing ink to a surface in a controlled manner. The elongated tip is in fluid communication with the nib. The elongated tip also includes a piercing tip which is able to penetrate an ink cartridge or tube of a pen and be removably affixed to a pen. The piercing tip is in fluid communication with the elongated tip and allows ink to flow from a penetrated ink cartridge or tube through the elongated tip to the nib where it can be applied to a surface. Also included is a specially-shaped cap formed to allow the cap to be placed over the elongated tip and be removably affixed to the body of a pen which has the attachment installed. The curvature of the elongated tip allows a user to have a clear view of the point where the nib makes contact with a surface, which improves control and comfort of the user.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in
The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
The present application is related to and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/648,346 filed Mar. 26, 2018, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
