Ball-point pen or marker having an incorporated
correction fluid dispenser.
This invention refers to the field of stationery
items and, particularly, ink-pens or ball-point pens or
markers, and is also related to such an item which, in
addition to the writing material (ink, etc), is provided
with a correction fluid dispenser having a suitable
ball-point pen or brush for the application thereof on
1t~ the paper surface.
Up-to-date technology in the field of correction
materials is oriented to the construction of dispensers
containing the correction fluid, provided on their cover
with a brush enclosed inside the dispenser such that,
whenever there is a need to use it, the cover should be
unscrewed and the fluid applied with the brush onto the
text to be corrected.
In this way, the user of the dispenser should always
have this correction fluid dispenser within his reach,
2o in order to use it when needed. Correction fluid
dispensers are not usually carried by the user, since
this is not always possible due to the relevant size of
the dispenser and the fact that it is not very easy for
the user to carry it especially when not holding a
briefcase.
This is why a correction fluid dispenser is not
always available when needed.

The above technical problem gave rise to an attempt
of finding a method and technical structure for a ball-
point pen, usually contained in an inside pocket of a
jacket or a front pocket of a shirt, etc, which pen has
an incorporated small correction fluid dispenser,
comprising the necessary brush on the cover thereof.
A further object of the invention is to deal with
the problems of durability, functionality and service
life of the invention, accomplishing various
~o constructional solutions, described in detail below,
wherein all the above mentioned and other advantages of
the present invention will become apparent.
The invention will be now understood by those
skilled in the art, with reference to the accompanying
drawings, illustrative of some of the preffered
embodiments of the invention, wherein:
Fig. 1 is an outside view of the ball-point pen
having an incorporated correction fluid dispenser.
Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the ball-point pen
2o containing the ink-case.
Fig. 3 is an outside view of the correction fluid
dispenser without its cover.
Fig. 4 is a view of the cover of the dispenser with
the brush.
Referring to a selected typical example of an
embodiment of the invention, a numbering of the main
parts of the invention is effected with reference to the
corresponding numbering thereof in the attached

9. A thread inside the dispenser 4 and at the bottom
thereof for being screwed on thread 7.
This pen incorporating the correction fluid
dispenser is easy to construct according to the
following variations. The first design is a whole-body
pen having an incorporated dispenser 2 on its top part.
In this case the bottom part 1 comprises the inlet-
outlet mechanism with the spring of the ink-case and the
ball-point. In the case of an ink pen, this comprises
the ink-ampule and the pen. In the case of a marker,
this comprises the marker-fluid.
The second design is part 5 which constitutes a
separate part from the dispenser 4, the dispenser 4
being screwed on thread 7 of the pen 5.
The pen may comprise a metallic or plastic hook for
its fastening on a pocket.
The assembly of part 4 (dispenser) onto part 5 of
the pen can be effected with a suitable way other than
screwing.
2o It should also be appreciated that the object of the
invention is not limited by the aforementioned example.
The accomplishment of the invention is possible by using
different constructional ways, methods, components and
mechanisms which still remain within the scope of the
present description.
It should also be noted that the present description
of the invention has been effected by referring to only
some typical application examples.

descriptive illustration, with no scale but simply
according to the proportional relationship between the
parts.
According to the pre=erred typical embodiment of the
invention, the invented pen comprises the following main
parts:
1. The part of the invented pen which contains the
ball-point pen ink-case or the common ink tank or the
to marker-fluid.
2. The part of the said pen which constitutes the
correction fluid dispenser, having a cover 3 with a
brush or ball.
3. The cover (lid) of the dispenser 2 or 4, which
t5 closes the dispenser and has an incorporated thin brush
6 and which is screwed on the top part 2 of the pen.
4. A dispenser separate from part 1, which contains
the correction fluid and is screwed by means of an
inside thread 9 provided at the bottom part thereof.
20 5. The part of the pen or marker, separate from the
