A special coloring device used by SO and a marker. [Prior Art] A typical marker pen includes an inner chamber having a fluid-like shell with a liquid indicator ink passing through a liquid-absorbent oil-filled ink, which is easy to understand, hereinafter referred to as "dye" or "the marker" At the time, the fibrous pen tip is acted upon by the inner chamber by capillary action: the tip. These pens are well known and are particularly useful for producing a color-like effect on the data. Generally, a marker is used exclusively. For the production of two or more colors, it is usually required that the same number of pens have been proposed. These pen strokes produce two or more single lines side by side. This marker is revealed in the world WO 01/15912 No. US-A-3887287, US-A-2,277,253, in which a thinner nib can be placed in a line that produces different widths than a single pen.

If you need an individual marker. The purpose of having a super-marker is to use a color line or a selected color in the WO 94/0997, 5 2 03 63 8 , medium. The marker pen system is also known to have a large pen tip to enable the pen system to be disclosed in European Patent No. 5,813,787 and (2) ‘M308859. US-A-5,651,627. The applicant's earlier application, PCT/GB2004/00085, discloses a marker pen having a casing, the casing comprising a fluid-absorbent nib containing a liquid or dye of a first color, the casing The internal system is designed to receive at least a portion of the marker, the portion having a fluid-absorbent tip having a liquid or dye of a second color, the marker being inserted into the open end of the sheath When the part is in contact with the tip of the marker pen, to allow the second color to be used, and the same marker can be used to create a color change in the connection of the single line or the lines. [New Content] One of the purposes of this creation is to provide an alternative device that enables the marker to produce uniform and consistent color variations from one color to another in a succession of one or more lines. In a first aspect, there is provided a device for transporting a liquid or dye from one marker to another marker, the device comprising a tubular docking member, the shape and size of one of the ends of the docking member being designed, Engaging the end portion of the pen tip including the first marker pen and designing the shape and size of the other end portion of the mating member to engage with an end portion of the pen tip including the second marker pen to design the docking The length of the member such that when the end portions of the first and second markers are engaged in the respective ends of the docking member, the nibs of the marker are spaced apart from each other; and the enabling mechanism when the pens are located When the docking member is in the proper position, the enabling mechanism enables relative movement between the pens, first reducing the distance between the pens and causing the pens to contact, thereby making the liquid Or the dye passes between them, and secondly, the pens are returned to their starting positions, and the pen tips are released from contact with each other. The liquid may comprise a semi-transparent liquid, such as water, and the dye may comprise an indicator such as an aqueous ink comprising a colored dye, a disperse pigment or other coloring medium. Alternatively, the colored dye can be oily. The nib of the marker can be made of a fibrous material such as felt. Another • a selection system, one or each nib may be made of a relatively inflexible material; a preferred material is sold under the POREX trademark. This is a multi-pore, fluid- retaining substance that retains its shape when applied to the surface of paper, card or similar material in a marked manner. However, other materials having similar physical properties can be used. In a second aspect, the present invention provides a coloring device comprising a first marker having an outer casing and comprising an absorbent pen tip comprising a liquid or dye of a first color; and a second marker having An outer casing and comprising an absorbent pen tip comprising a second color liquid or dye, the first and second marker outer casings being sized and shaped to engage the opposite end portions of a tubular docking member And separating the absent pen tips of the pens from each other; and enabling means for enabling relative movement between the pens when the pens are in position within the docking member This causes the absorbent pen tips to selectively contact each other within the docking member and thereby release the contact state. Preferably, the docking member has a cover at each open end, the cover is sized to receive the absorbent pen tip, and an end segment adjacent to a marker-6-M308859 (4) is attached to the cover An inner wall surface, the inner wall surface of the cover being in contact with an outer surface of the end segment of the receiving pen; and a tubular outer casing positioned between the two covers, wherein the marker is retained within the cover The absorbent pen tips protrude into the cover, the full length of the docking members such that the absorbent pen tips are initially spaced apart from each other within the scope of the outer casing, but are selectively placed in contact with each other by operation of the enabling mechanism status. In one embodiment, each cover includes two cover segments separated by a peripheral groove, the grooves being in a plane orthogonal or inclined to the longitudinal axis of the cover, the cover segments being Engaged by at least one leg, the leg being located in and separated by a boundary formed in the sidewall of the cover, the opening being located in a plane that is substantially parallel or oblique to the a longitudinal axis of the cover, the configuration such that movement of a lid segment relative to the adjacent lid segment has the effect of reducing the height of the lid, thereby enabling a marker held within the lid to protrude into the housing for substantially A distance equal to the depth of the peripheral groove. In a third aspect, the present application provides a substantially cylindrical slender open docking member for receiving a marking device for a coloring device, the docking member including a cover at each end of the open end thereof, the design The cover is sized to receive the absorbent pen tip and adjacent to an end segment of a marker; and a tubular outer casing positioned between the two covers, in use, when the marker is retained in the cover Inwardly, the absorbent pen tips protrude into the lids. 'Each cover includes two cover segments separated by a recess, the recess being located in a plane orthogonal or inclined to the longitudinal axis of the cover, and The recess extends around a major portion of the perimeter of the cover, whereby the cover segments are M308859-. (5). by means of one or more separate cover segments that engage one another, the cover segments are attached thereto Separating the grooves, the arrangement is such that the movement of a lid segment relative to its adjacent lid segment has the effect of reducing the height of the lid, thereby enabling a marker held in the lid to protrude into the housing Substantially equal Depth in the peripheral groove. The inner wall surface of the cover is preferably shaped to complement an end member of the receiving pen to prevent or at least inhibit between the end member and the cover during operation of the enabling mechanism Relative rotation. Thus, the inner wall of the cover may include a flat portion that is complementary to the flat portion formed on the outer wall of the end member of the marker. Alternatively, the inner wall of the cover may include longitudinal grooves or ribs that complement the ribs or grooves formed in or on the outer wall of the end member of the marker, respectively. In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a marker having a generally slender tubular outer casing having a collar from which an absorbent pen tip protrudes, the marker collar comprising one or more A longitudinally extending surface that is complementary to a similar surface provided on the interior of the lid section of the docking member disclosed in the aforementioned eight paragraphs. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 illustrates a coloring device according to the present invention, which comprises a second marker 1, and the end of the marker protrudes into an open end of a tubular docking member 2. One such marker is illustrated in Figure 2. Each of the marker pens 1 comprises a substantially slender tubular outer casing 3 and has a collar 4, like a fibrous -8 - M308859 ' (6) * felt absorbent pen tip 5 protrudes from the collar and passes through a liquid An absorbent wick (not shown) is coupled to an interior chamber (not shown) that houses a fluid indicator, such as one of aqueous inks, which ink contains a colored dye (hereinafter referred to as a dye or for ease of understanding) Colored dye). As shown in Fig. 2, the collar 4 is formed with a flat surface extending longitudinally along the collar. 6 The nib of the marker 5 can be made of a fibrous material such as felt. Alternatively, one or each of the nibs may be made of a relatively inflexible material; a preferred material is sold under the trademark P〇rEX. This is a multi-hole, fluid- retaining substance that retains its shape when applied to the surface of a paper, card or similar material in a marked manner. However, other materials having similar physical properties can be used. A removable cover 7 is provided to seal the absorbent tip 5 when the pen is not in use. As will be seen from Figures 3 and 4, the docking member 2 comprises an open end ® tubular member having an end cap 8 separated by a tubular outer casing 9. The inner shape and size of each end cap 8 is complementary to the shape and size of the collar 4 of the marker 1. Thus, the inner dimensions of each of the lids 8 of the docking member 2 are slightly larger than the outer dimensions of the collar 4 so that in use, each of the collars 4 can be fitted into the individual end caps 8 relatively well. As will be seen from Figure 3, each cover 8 comprises outer and inner sections 11, 12, respectively, which are separated by a peripheral groove 14 and by means of four longitudinally projecting legs 15 (for each A cover only shows one of them) joined together, and the legs are positioned substantially equal to the 纟 纟 纟 - - - - - M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M. As shown, each groove 14 is in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the cover. However, this plane can be tilted relative to the longitudinal axis of the cover. The leg portion, as illustrated, extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cover, but can be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cover. The shape of each leg can also be different from that described. Each leg 15 is located within a longitudinally extending opening 16 . The grooves 14 , the openings 16 , and the legs 15 are selected to be able to move the facing edges of each groove 14 toward each other and when one cover segment is opposite to the other The lid section is rotated immediately after it is rotated. By the presence of the recess 14 , the opening 16 , and the relatively thin legs 15 , one cover section can be rotated relative to the other section. This rotation effectively reduces the height of the lid. As will be more clearly seen from Figure 4, the assembly of the cover 8 and the tubular outer casing 9 is tethered within a tubular casing 10. Each cover 8 has an inner tubular side wall formed with a plurality of flat longitudinally extending inner surfaces 17 (see Figure 5) and an annular bottom plate 15. The marker pen 1 is shown in Fig. 4, and its collar 4 and the absorbent pen tip 5 are positioned in the cover ^ 8 of the docking member 2. When so positioned, the flat surface 6 of each collar abuts and engages the inner flat surface 7 of the individual cover 8. This mutual engagement prevents relative rotation between the marker pen 1 and the docking member 2. The outer edge 21 of each cover has an abutment surface that engages the end face 1 of each marker to control the extent that the pen can extend through the docking member. As will be seen from Figure 4, in its docking position, the nib 5 projects into the tubular outer casing 9, but is separated by a relatively small distance. Each pen tip gripping sleeve 22 projects into the open end of the tubular housing with the nib. To move the nibs into contact with each other, one or two of the markers 1 are rotated or twisted by hand -10- M308859 (8) to a limited range 'by performing the or each cover section 11 relative to the or each The rotation of the lid section 12 is 'and thereby reduces the effective height of one or each of the lids and enables the nibs to make contact with each other. After a few seconds, the marker or the marker is released 'to cause the cover segments to return to their original positions' and the marker tip is moved out of contact. The limited movements described between the nibs can be achieved by a specific embodiment different from that described. Thus, a recess 14 , a leg 15 , and an opening 16 can be positioned in the wall of the tubular outer casing 9 in place of the cover 8 . One or each cover can also be coupled to the tubular outer casing 9' in such a manner that in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer casing 9, a limited relative movement of the or each cover relative to the outer casing may of. Thus the covers may not be integrally formed with the outer casing 9, but are slidably movable toward and away from the outer casing. In this configuration, the relative movement required can be achieved by applying finger pressure to the ends of one or both of the markers held within the covers. A spring ® spring can be provided between the immediate end of each cover 8 and the outer casing 9 to cause the cover to return to its starting position upon removal of the finger pressure. In use of the device shown, a marker 1 containing a different colorant is inserted into the open end of the cover 8, as shown in FIG. As described above, in this position, the nib of each marker 1 protrudes into the tubular casing 9, but is spaced apart from each other. One or both of the covers are then rotated to cause the tips to contact each other for a few seconds and then released to remove the nibs. This contact time is typically about 5 seconds. This contact between the nibs allows the transfer of the colored dye from a tip to -11 - M308859 ' (9) . Another nib. In addition to the need for a marker to hold the dye between the nibs, the need to substantially rotate or twist the desired contact within the leg of the colorant 1 5, and the boast can also be minimized. By using it. Once the donation has been made to produce a single line (the second color length is stabilized by another marker, the color is only changed by the appropriate color. The resulting line essentially advances as it gradually becomes known before it can It is easy to make the range detached. [The simple description of the drawing will now only assist this transfer, and it is preferable to use the docking member higher than the other marker. The docking member 2 serves to guide the same and prevent the bleeding of the colored dye. Leaking out of the device. Turn one or two markers to achieve the mark between the pen tips, ensuring that only a relatively short, but controlled period is transferred. By carefully selecting the grooves 4, the F openings The size of 1 6 is the device for describing the contact pressure between the nibs. An effective and consistent color change is removed from the docking member by a fluid marker, or a series of lines, which initially display the first The color of the color donated), and gradually and consistently changed to (the original color of the pen). When the line or the lines, the lines between these two extremes gradually change color. When choosing the original and donated colors, many can be achieved, and the donation of liquid can be like water. In this configuration, there will be a line that is initially transparent but has a color when the line is colored. The literary system is only based on the demonstration of the marker of this creation, and has been modified in various ways, and the summary drawing attached to the actual reference of the present description is described by way of example: Creativity -12-(10) M308859 - Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the assembled coloring device in accordance with the present invention; Figure 2 is a side view of a marker forming a portion of the device illustrated in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a side view of a pair of members, formed Figure 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view taken from the docking member illustrated in Figure 2; an enlarged end view of one of the butt members shown in Figure 5; 6-series perspective view showing the docking member and the ~-marker to be assembled.
