Definitions

  • a second problem is that refilling the fountain pen ink is a messy procedure.
  • the writing nib and part of the ferrule up to the air hole must be immersed in a pool of ink, usually within an ink jar of some sort. Because the writing nib and ferrule are immersed in the pool of ink, the writing nib and ferrule become coated with an ink film that must be removed by cleaning the fountain pen after the ink refilling procedure is completed.
  • the invention relates to ink refill system as set forth in the claims.
  • the feed assembly 17 includes the ferrule 18, the locking mechanism 20, and a nib support 34 that secures the nib 16 to the ferrule 18.
  • An ink feed channel 36 extends through the nib support 34, fluidly connecting the reservoir 14 to the writing nib 16 when the valve 32 is open.
  • the nib support 34 is slidably attached to the ferrule 18 so that the nib support 34 and the nib 16 are movable along the longitudinal axis A.
  • the refill adapter 114 may comprise a locking device 120 having a bayonet slot 146, similar to the bayonet slot 46 in the locking mechanism 20 of Figs. 1-5 .
  • the locking device 120 releasably secures the barrel body 12 to the refill adapter 114.
  • the bayonet slot 146 in the locking device 120 receives the bayonet 48 on the retainer 50 of the barrel 11.
  • the piston 60 is pushed away from the seat 62 by the refill tube extender 122. Once the piston 60 is spaced apart from the seat 62, the reservoir 14 is fluidly connected with the ink refill reservoir 108 by the ink refill tube 116.
