Definitions
- the instrument of the present invention has the further advantage of being provided with a manually-operable spray pump arrangement, which can withdraw the fluid in the cartridge so as positively to direct it under pressure to the tip of the instrument without having to pressurise any container for the fluid. Furthermore, the spray pump is arranged to provide a predetermined amount of the fluid upon each operation, in dependence on the volume of the pump, thereby avoiding the possibility of continuous operation of the pump arrangement leading to exhaustion of the entire contents of the cartridge, and/or flooding of the fluid from the tip of the instrument.
- the pump arrangement is disposed longitudinally adjacent the tip of the instrument towards one end of the casing, and the cartridge extends away therefrom and is accessible at the other end of the casing such that manual pressure exerted longitudinally on the cartridge at that said other end is effective to operate the pump arrangement.
- an assembly for an instrument for applying fluid to a surface preferably a marking instrument assembly, comprising a disposable or re-fillable cartridge containing a fluid to be applied and operatively associated therewith, preferably fixedly mounted thereon, a manually- operable spray pump arrangement for repeatedly dispensing a predetermined amount of the fluid under pressure from the cartridge.
- a disposable, or re-fillable, cartridge for the assembly and for the instrument of the present invention.
- the present invention is particularly but not exclusively useful for dispensing relatively a small quantity, such as 0.001-5 millilitres or more of a fluid, for use particularly in a marking instrument.
- the replaceable or refillable cartridge comprises a container suitable for use in the instrument of the present invention, the container comprising a primary reservoir for holding the fluid to be applied and having an outlet at one end, a fluid supply tube located within the primary reservoir, the supply tube being, in use, connected at one end to the outlet and having a secondary reservoir at its other end, wherein, when the container is in a first orientation, a measured dose of the marking fluid can enter the secondary reservoir, and wherein, when the container is inverted, the secondary reservoir will hold that dose of the fluid for dispensing, and the remaining fluid will be moved by gravity to another position within the container and retained.
- the fluid which in the secondary reservoir can be delivered through the supply tube by using a manually-operable spray pump, a spring loaded valve mechanism or by squeezing the external container. Continued repeated pressure will then not result in any more fluid being dispensed. All of these variations are covered by the general expression "spray pump arrangement" as used herein, whether or not the fluid exitting the delivery tube is in the form a spray.
- the instrument can include an actuator for the spray pump arrangement of the refill and a capillary tube which enters inside the tip reservoir of the instrument as a single unit, fixed tightly to the instrument.
- the fluid is preferably of relatively low viscosity and does not include any large particulates so the ejection of the fluid from the spray pump arrangements does not require undue manual pressure and the delivery tube exit is not easily blocked.
- the refill cartridge, before use, is covered over its opening by a diaphragm which is connected to the supply tube, that can be pierced by a sharpened point on the actuator to allow passage of only the fluid, which is held in the secondary reservoir.

- Figure 41 shows in partial section a known spray pump with a single air opening
- Figure 42 shows in partial section the known spray pump of Figure 41 but modified for use in the pump arrangement of the present invention.
- a pen 2 comprises an elongate cylindrical casing 4, a writing tip 6, and a housing 8 that contains a spray pump 10.
- the tip 6 and housing 8 are contained within a closure cap 12 that is mounted thereon to abut the casing 4.
- a replaceable ink cartridge 14 is mounted within the casing 4, and secured in place by a mounting member 16 at the end remote from the tip 6, as a safety feature.
- the mounting member 16 (see details in Figures 7a and 7b) is retained within the end of the cartridge 14 by means of an annular screw-threaded retaining ring 17 (see details in Figures 8a and 8b).
- a capillary tube 18 has an open end adjacent the cartridge mounting member 16 and extends towards a diaphragm 20 that closes the other, inner end of the tube 18 adjacent the pump 10.
- Fluid communication between the contents of the cartridge 14 and the pump 10 is achieved by introducing the cartridge 14 into the casing 4 and making a screw threaded connection onto the body 24 of the pump 10, which causes a sharpened tip 26 of the pump 10 to pierce the diaphragm 20.
- the pump body 24 has a pair of notches 28 in its rim, by which it is introduced into the casing 14 and retained therein against rotational movement by casing projections 30, whilst being allowed to move longitudinally within the casing 4.
- the cartridge 14 is provided on its base with a plurality of notches 15 to facilitate rotation during attachment.
- the pen tip 6 is mounted in a tip housing 32 that is fitted onto the pump housing.8, and that contains a cylindrical block of felt 34 to act as a reservoir for marking ink for the tip.
- a spray nozzle 38 of the pump 10 is secured against longitudinal movement by being sealed into the base wall of a chamber 40, into which it projects.
- the spray pump is of the type used in a conventional manual sprayer such as is illustrated in Figure 4c, the nozzle cap of which is pushed manually in the direction of arrow X to cause a spray to be ejected laterally. When used in the pen of Figure 1 the conventional nozzle cap is not used.
- the external surface 36 of the cartridge closure member 16 acting as a pusher button, can be depressed by a thumb or finger of the user of the pen 2 in the direction of arrow X, this being effective to move the ink cartridge 14 longitudinally within the casing 4 together with the pump body 24, relative to the nozzle 38.
- This movement expels air from within the pump 10 so that upon release of the plunger 36, ink from within the cartridge 14 is sucked up into the pump body 24 through the capillary tube 18.
- Subsequent depression of the plunger 36 is then effective to dispense the ink from the pump body 24 and to cause it to be ejected as a spray from the fixed pump nozzle 38, into the chamber 40.
- the predetermined amount of ink thus displaced from the cartridge 14 enters the chamber 40 within the pump housing 8, and is also absorbed by the block of felt 34, in which the pen tip 6 is embedded. It will be appreciated that maintaining the plunger 36 depressed does not dispense any more ink from the cartridge 14, a release and further depression of the plunger 36 being required to do this. It will also be appreciated, that an initial usage of the pen 2 may require several operations of the plunger 36 so as completely to fill the chamber 40 and to load the felt 34 so that the tip 6 is supplied with sufficient ink for writing.
- the chamber 40 has a window 42 in a side wall thereof, so that the user can see whether there is ink contained therewithin.
- the closure cap 12 can be mounted on the casing 4 so as to fit into the annular groove between the mounting member 16 and the retaining ring 17, so as to cover the pump plunger 36 and thereby to prevent accidental dispensing on ink from the cartridge 14.
- the cap 12 is notched at 13 for engagement with the cartridge 14 to screw the cartridge at its inner end onto the pump 10 and is shaped internally to fit over the tip 6 and its housing 32.
- the cap 12 can be reversed and used as a pusher button by engagement with the plunger 36 of the cartridge 14.
- the writing pen 50 has a cartridge 14 mounted within a cylindrical casing 54.
- the inner end of the cartridge 14 is secured to a pump body 56 by means of a screw threaded engagement, forming a fluid communicating path therethrough.
- the pump body 56 is of generally frustoconical shape, with the larger transverse surface directed towards the tip 6 of the pen 50.
- a pair of radially inwardly directed spring loaded plungers 60 are mounted in the side wall of the pen casing 54 and have inner surfaces shaped to mate with the frustoconical surface of the pump body 56.
- a nozzle 62 of the pump arrangement is, as before, securely retained within a transverse wall of the pump housing 64.
- inward pressure in the direction of the arrows X on the plungers 60 is effective for the frustoconical mating surfaces to slide over one another, so as to urge the pump body 56, carrying the cartridge 14, up towards the fixed nozzle 62.
- Figures 15, 15a, 16, 17a, 17b, and 18 disclose a pen 90 comprising a casing 4 and tip 6 as before, but in which a cartridge 92 is formed integrally with components of the pump arrangement 94 from which a spring loaded nozzle 96 projects.
- the tip of the nozzle 96 engages with a spray head 98 and is fixedly mounted on a transverse wall of an intermediate spray chamber 100 that leads to the felt block 34.
- FIGS 19 to 21 show a writing instrument in the form of a brush having a tip 110 that is supplied by paint from the interior of a cartridge 112 mounted within a casing 114.
- a pump arrangement 116 is located within a pump housing 118 by means of a circular washer 120 that bears against an inwardly-directed projection 122 of the pump housing 118.
- the dispensing channel 124 of the pump arrangement 116 terminates directly in contact with the brush 110.
- the tip 110 of the brush is protected within a closure cap 126.
- the longitudinal movement of the cartridge 112 is effected by pressure on the base thereof in the direction of the arrow X ( Figure 19).
- the cartridge 112 is not provided with the optional inner capillary tube of the previous embodiments.
- Example 6 The pen 130 of Figure 22 is formed with a casing in two parts, 132 and 134 extending longitudinally axially thereof. The casing portions 132 and 134 are rotatable relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the pen 130, as shown by the arrows Y and Z. The relative rotation is arranged to operate a pump arrangement (not shown) of the pen 130 so as to dispense a predetermined amount of ink from a replaceable cartridge (not shown) secured therewithin, to the pen tip 6.
- Example 7 Example 7
- Fig. 26 when inside the replaceable ink cartridge refill 141, and closed with a manually operable spray pump, the sharpened tip 150 of the pump 147 is caused to pierce the diaphragm 143 and allow release of the ink.
- Fig.25 when the cartridge in the normal positions the marking fluid can enter the internal secondary reservoir 144 through small holes 149 and a small quantity of the ink held therewithin. As shown in Fig. 25a when the cartridge refill is inverted the secondary reservoir will retain this small quantity of marking fluid and the other marking fluid fall by gravity to the other end of the cartridge 141 where it is retained. This small quantity of ink can then be dispensed.
- the air hole 176 has been modified to include a ball valve 178 of the type shown in Figure 38. In both cases air is pushed out through hole 176 in the direction 179 when manual pressure is applied. When the spray pump is inverted the ball valve checks leakage of ink out of the pump.
