DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention concerns a refilling container for a writing, marking, painting or drawing implement.
A refilling container for refilling a writing, painting or drawing implement, a cosmetic applicator implement or the like, is known from the applicants' DE 40 27 751 A1. That known refilling container is provided for filling a corresponding implement from the front side thereof.
A refilling container for refilling a writing, painting or drawing implement which is also intended for refilling the corresponding implement from the front side thereof is known from the applicants' DE 40 39 614 A1.
As, in the case of those implements, the writing tip has a higher level of capillarity than the storage means or reservoir disposed in the housing of the implement, these implements which are to be filled through the writing tip suffer from the disadvantage that the reservoir can be refilled only very slowly and only with a relatively small amount of liquid. If the originally filled reservoir in such an implement has for example of the order of magnitude of 5 g of liquid, such an implement, when filled from the front, can only be limitedly filled again, that is to say, a relatively long period of time is required to fill such an implement again. Some hours can be needed in order to provide for adequate refilling, and that must be considered as a disadvantage.
A refillable writing or marking implement, in particular a felt-tip or fiber-tip pen, with a housing, a capillary reservoir for accommodating a writing or marking liquid and a capillary writing tip connected to said reservoir is known from the applicants' DE 30 14 761 C2. In that known implement, connected to the end of the reservoir element, which is remote from the writing tip, is a capillary filling wick which projects outwardly. That capillary filling wick is provided for refilling the implement from the rear end thereof.
DE 41 04 871 A1 discloses a refillable applicator implement, in particular a refillable writing, drawing, painting or marking implement, which for refilling with a liquid application agent has a closure body which can be at least partially removed from the end of the housing or shank portion. The end of the shank portion is closed by a sealing body which is non-detachably fixed in the shank portion or is formed integrally therewith. Associated with the sealing body is a closure body which, co-operating therewith, forms the closure. That known applicator implement can therefore be refilled from its rear end, in which respect, due to the structural configuration involved, overfilling of the implement is to be excluded only when a precisely defined amount of the liquid application agent is introduced into the implement. That also applies in regard to the refillable applicator implement which is known from DE 41 05 185A1 with a releasable closure body which, for filling the implement with liquid application agent, can be released from the shank portion by turning, and removed. In that applicator implement the end of the shank portion is closed by a sealing body which is non-detachably fixed in the shank portion or formed integrally therewith. Associated with the sealing body is a closure body which is releasable therefrom and which, co-operating therewith, forms the closure. The sealing body and/or the closure body each have at least one unlocking cam portion and at least one complementary pressure body.
A refilling container is known from DE-GM 92 06 513, in which the implement to be refilled can be inserted into the container or into the sleeve provided in the container, to such an extent that for example the reservoir of the implement bears against the capillary conveyor element. In that arrangement the insertion movement of the implement to be refilled is determined and delimited only by the contact between the reservoir and the refilling element so that if the implement is incorrectly inserted into the refilling container, the possibility of damage to the reservoir of the implement or damage to the conveyor element
