SPECIFICATION should not be provided in the article of the invention
Liquid-containing article in an excessively dense manner, since it may then be difficult to effectively redisperse the pigment into This invention relates to a liquid-containing article the liquid with the result that the redispersing such as, for example, a writing instrument, a 70 efficiency is not substantially improved while the cosmetic instrument, a painting instrument as well effective capacity of the article is decreased.

In order to redisperse the deposited pigment Embodiments of the invention will be hereinafter into the liquid, it is common practice to provide an 85 described byway of non-limiting example with agitating ball inside the article. However, the reference to the accompanying drawings in agitating effect of such an agitating ball is not very which:
