Explanation of new style [Technical field to which new style belongs] This creation is about a marker pen. [Prior Art] Generally, a marker pen includes a tubular casing having a fiber felt-like nib connected to an internal storage via a liquid-absorbent core containing an indicator of an aqueous ink such as a color dye. When using a marker, the fiber tip is filled with ink, which is drawn from the reservoir through the core to the pen tip by capillary action. Such pens are well known and are especially used to mark text or produce color effects on paper and similar materials. Markers with two or more spaced-apart nibs have been proposed for a long time, and they can produce two or more spaced-apart colored lines. In order to produce adjacent lines of different colors, two or more marker pens must be used. The tip of these marker pens will make contact on their adjacent edges. Such contact will inevitably make the color change from one to the other. The nib moves over the other nib. Drawing pens for drawing lines with different chromaticities have long been disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,388,924. Such pens include a plurality of ink reservoirs located in a single barrel, and most absorptive drawing tips connected to these ink reservoirs, respectively. This absorptive drawing tip has adjacent surfaces that are complementary surfaces and are bonded to each other by a watertight adhesive. U.S. Patent No. 3887287 discloses a multi-colored marker pen having a body including a tubular container having a plurality of elongated inner impervious inner chambers. Each inner chamber contains a different color ink -4- (2) M247409 water and communicates with one of the majority of individual nibs, which are used to provide a different color.

According to another form of this creation, a marker pen 'is provided which includes a shell, and most fluid holding pen tips protrude from one end thereof, and the shape of each pen tip can define a ridge along an upper surface. These nibs are arranged side by side and the adjacent ends of adjacent ridges will contact or approach each other so as to define a continuous ridge together and include a movement restriction mechanism 'to prevent or prohibit the paint from moving on the adjacent nibs. -5- (3) (3) M247409 The above movement-restricting mechanism may include coating one or more sides of one or more nibs with an impervious material. When using three nibs, only the middle nib or the outer nib need to be painted. Of course, you can also paint all three nibs. Appropriate coating materials include oil-based liquids or 躐 ◦ It is also possible to protect one or more nibs in a water-impermeable material, such as P V C plastic. In another configuration, the movement limit is reached by setting a small space between adjacent pen tips. According to another form of this creation, a marker pen is provided, including a housing, and most fluid-retaining pen tips protrude from one end thereof, and the shape of each pen tip can define a ridge along an upper surface. These nibs are placed side by side, and the joint ends of adjacent ridges are separated from each other by a distance of less than 1 mm, so as to define a continuous ridge together. The space between adjacent ridges is It is sufficient to limit the movement of the dye from the combined nib. 5 mm。 The distance between adjacent nibs is preferably about 0.5 mm. Each nib can be filled with a color pigment. These pigments exist in an inner chamber in the housing. One nib can be provided with a different inner chamber. Two, three, or more nibs can also be provided, and the continuous ridges can also be straight, curved, or angular lines. Each nib can have a triangular cross-section, and the apex of the triangle defines the nib ridge. In this configuration, the side of the pen tip can be tilted downward from the ridge at the same angle or about the same angle. On the other hand, a sharp point can extend vertically from this ridge. In another configuration, each nib contains an inner ridge, whose upper edge -6- (4) (4) M247409 defines a ridge, which is erect from a horizontal bottom. The ridge lengths of adjacent nibs may be the same or different, and it is preferred that the pigment applied to the adjacent nibs may have different colors. The nib is preferably quite rigid and can contain the material of POREX. This is a porous fluid retaining substance that retains its shape when applied to paper, cards or similar materials. However, other materials with similar physical properties can be used. The pen tip can be connected to receive fluid from the inner chamber via the core. The inner chamber typically contains a transorb. The transversal ball mainly contains a large amount of fluid-retaining fibrous material placed under an impermeable sheath. The fluid-retaining material can be a fibrous material. The sheath is generally open at both ends, and one end can accommodate the core, so that the fluid existing in the cross ball can pass to each of the marker pens by capillary action. nib. The inner chamber may have a tubular section, and its outer wall will be adjacent to or in contact with the outer wall of the outer shell. The fluid present in the inner chamber may contain an indicator, such as an aqueous ink containing dyes, diffusion pigments, or other color media. Of course, oily color pigments may be contained in the inner chamber. One or more nibs can be retractably or removably mounted in the housing to change the length of the continuous ridges or to change the color of the nibs. A cover may be provided on the pen housing and covered on the pen tip. The edge of the lid should preferably fit snugly against a ring-shaped snug surface formed in the housing to seal the pen tip from the atmosphere. It is best to place a flexible O-ring seal (5) (5) M247409 in an annular recess near the abutting surface. When the cover is mounted on the housing, the outer surface of the O-ring seal will closely fit the inner surface of the cover. [Embodiment] The marker pen shown includes an elongated hollow casing 1, which is generally made of plastic material. However, other materials can also be used. One end of the outer shell 1 is closed with a plug 2; however, this end may be closed permanently. Protruding from the other open end of the case are three fluid-retaining nibs 3. Three elongated transversal balls 4 are placed in the shell, each containing a large amount of fluid-retaining fibrous material 9, which are enclosed in an impermeable plastic sheath. Sheath material can include a layer of impervious material, such as PVC. Each cross ball 4 can be held in a separate tubular inner chamber within the outer shell. On the other hand, the transversal ball can also be placed in the housing in parallel and come into contact with its water-tight sheath. Each nib 3 may be made of a porous material, such as a POREX material, or other materials having the same or similar POREX material. POREX is a moldable, porous material made by POREX Technology. It mainly contains a large number of sintered thermoplastic polymer particles, especially micro-particles that polymerize by rapid cooling with water. These particles generally have a uniform size and shape, have equal sizes along three mutually perpendicular axes, have a smooth surface, a narrow pore size distribution, great strength, and other improved characteristics. It can be seen from Fig. 4 that each pen tip is generally triangular and includes a ridge 5 on the apex of the triangle, from which the ridges protrude downward two inclined -8- (6) (6) M247409 surfaces. Fluid from individual transect balls enters the ridges of each pen tip through a POREX core 6 by capillary action. It can be seen from Figures 1, 5 and 6 that the nibs are arranged side by side, and therefore the ridge edges of adjacent nibs are in contact. Each nib can thereby define a single continuous ridge. Three different colors of ink can be obtained from The continuous ridges are applied to a surface by a stroke of a marker pen to form a single line. The resulting line width can be determined by the angle at which the pen tip is present on the surface. The side surface of each nib is pictured with a layer of impervious material (such as oily liquid or wax) to prevent color movement on the contact edges of adjacent nibs. On the other hand, each nib may include an outer sheath made of a watertight material. This water-impermeable material prevents the color indicator from moving from one tip to another adjacent pen tip, or at least minimizes such color movement. The embodiment shown in Figs. 7 and 8 will now be described. The biggest difference between the marking pen of this embodiment and the marking pen shown in Figs. 1 to 6 is that the pen tips are separated by a distance not exceeding 1 mm. Generally, this distance is about 0.5 mm. This distance can be borrowed between 0.2 5 and 0 · 7 5 mm. The individual nibs together define a continuous ridge. From this ridge, three different colors of ink can be coated on a surface to form a single line of marker strokes. The width of the lines produced can be changed according to the angle between the pen tip and the surface. As can be seen from Figs. 8 and 9, when not in use, a cap 9 is provided to seal the pen tip 3 from the atmosphere. The 0-ring seal 1 made of elastomer is located in a ring-shaped cavity formed in the shell and is close to a ridge 11 which is a tightly bounded edge defining the edge 12 of the lid. Table -9- (7) (7) M247409 surface. When the cover 9 is placed on the housing, the outer surface of the seal 10 will abut the inside of the cover so as to produce an additional sealing effect on the pen tip. It will be seen from the figure that each POREX nib as a refill has a part of the upper collar 7 which is fixed in diameter or thickness and includes a tapered shank 8. In general, the diameter of the nib (that is, the length of the ridge) is 8.1mm, and the diameter of the collar is 6mm. The length of the collar is generally 5mm, and the length of the handle is generally 14mm. The diameter of the end of the handle is generally 4mm. One or more cross-balls and contact pen tips are retractable, removable, or replaceable. In order to change the number of nibs used at the same time, and can also change the color that the marking pen can apply on the surface. As shown, the marker pen has three protruding nibs, and two or more nibs may be provided. Moreover, the length of the ridge 5 can be changed, so that the length of the outermost ridge of a marker pen with five pen tips, for example, will be less than the length of the three central pens in order to provide a multi-color line produced by the marker pen Narrow and darker border lines. It should be known that the above description is only an example of this creative marker pen. Any modification can be easily produced as long as it does not violate the true scope of this creative defined by the scope of the patent application. [Schematic description] Figure 1 is a side view of the creative marker pen; Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along the marker pen shown in Figure 1; Figures 3 and 4 are the ends of the marker pen shown in Figure 1 Views and side views -10- (8) M247409 •, and Figures 5 and 6 are a perspective view and a plan view, respectively, showing the situation when viewed from above the three marking pen nib components shown in FIG. 1 . 7 and 8 are a side-by-side view and a cross-sectional view, respectively, of a marker pen according to another embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 9 shows a lid used in the marker pen of the present invention.
