Abstract

Felt-Tip Pen Holder with Integrated Caps: In every home, users need to have the necessary number of felt-tip pens on hand. Children tend to lose felt-tip pen caps regularly. This loss significantly reduces the lifespan of a pen. This forces users to consume more felt-tip pens than they actually need, which creates an environmental problem. Our invention is a felt-tip pen holder with integrated caps to prevent felt-tip pen waste. It is a felt-tip pen block in which the caps are fixed to the structure.

Description

Title of the invention: Felt-tip pen holder with integrated cap

[0001] Technical field to which the invention relates

[0002] In every household, marker management must be optimized. Users must have the necessary, functional, and sufficient number of markers available to meet their needs. Children tend to lose marker caps very frequently. This loss considerably reduces the lifespan of a marker. The uncontrolled lifespan due to lost caps poses a real problem for users. It forces them to consume more markers than they actually need. This waste leads to overconsumption, pollution, and environmental hazards. Our invention provides a solution to all these problems.

[0003] Our invention relates to a marker holder with integrated caps (marker block) that allows for the efficient and practical use of markers while raising user awareness about the waste of improperly capped markers. This design ensures proper marker management and will reduce the plastic waste produced by discarded dried-out markers each year.

[0004] This is a felt brick in which the caps are fixed to the structure. The felt is removable; it can be taken out of the base for use and put back into its cap after use.

[0005] When a felt pad is worn, it can be replaced in the felt pad holder; a new one simply needs to be inserted. The aim is to maintain the same structure and only replace the felt pads one by one as soon as they reach the end of their lifespan. Prior art

[0006] There are currently no tools that meet the characteristics of the felt holder with integrated caps.

[0007] There are refillable felt-tip pens for greater use of the pen, but nothing is provided to prevent the caps of the pens from being lost over time and to facilitate their handling.

[0008] There are jar-type marker holders for storing markers, but nothing is designed to keep the caps in place to prevent them from getting lost. The drawback of traditional marker holders is that children easily lose the caps, the markers dry out, and become unusable.

[0009] There are felt-tip pens with caps that are connected by a plastic cord to hold them together. This solution only partially addresses the problem: the caps can come loose from the cord and thus be lost, and the materials are too fragile for repeated use over time. Description of the invention

[0010] Our invention describes a non-disposable felt-tip pen holder that allows the storage of felt-tip pen caps into which the felt-tip pens are closed for a long period of use.

[0011] This is a felt-tip pen holder with integrated caps ([Fig. 1]). It consists of two non-removable parts and one removable part:

[0012] The non-disposable felt brick (1)

[0013] The plugs (2) which are integrated into the structure

[0014] The felt-tip pens that are clipped into the caps (3) How does it compare to the previous state?

[0015] Our invention, compared to the prior state, has the following advantages:

[0016] Ecological: Less plastic waste, raising user awareness of environmental issues; Economical: a single marker replaces dozens;

[0017] Long service life of the object, durable materials; Optimal use of felt-tip pens (ink downwards)

[0018] Good management of felt-tip pens by a range of users from a very young age. Practical and simple to use Brief description of the drawings

[0019] Figure 1 shows the complete felt-tip pen holder with integrated cap. 1. The structure of the felt-tip pen holder

[0020] 2. The integrated cap

[0021] 3. The body of the felt which is removable.

[0022] Detailed description of the embodiment of the invention

[0023] Our invention felt holder with integrated caps constitutes an object for long-term use, without risk of loss of cap.

[0024] It is composed of 2 non-removable parts and one removable part ([Fig.l]) The non-disposable structure is formed of a block of practical shape to receive felt plugs which will be integrated into the structure.

[0025] The block can be made of different materials such as wood, plastic, metal, cardboard, ... It must be safe for children and durable.

[0026] The caps are integrated into the structure and can receive felt-tip pens, pens, markers, highlighters or other writing or marking instruments whose body contains a porous (refillable or not) reservoir impregnated with ink and connected to a tip.

[0027] The body of the felt must be able to fit easily into the cap so that young children and people with reduced mobility can easily remove and insert it. Industrial application

[0028] Our invention offers an eco-friendly and practical felt-tip pen holder with integrated caps that will allow you to track the use of felt-tip pens for a long time and without the risk of frequent loss of the cap.

[0029] 1. Felt holder characterized by a structure in which the felt plugs are Integrated to prevent the felt from drying out due to the loss of the cap. The felt holder includes the following elements:
