Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a system for refilling of used markers. The system comprises at least one round plate ( 1 ) mounted on a supporting platform, at least one ink reservoir ( 2 ) adapted to store ink and positioned at the center of the round plate ( 1 ) and one entry hole ( 3 ) on the ink reservoir ( 2 ) adapted to hold a nib of a marker ( 6 ). The round plate ( 1 ) of the system is mounted on a motor adapted to rotate the round plate ( 1 ) at high speed in a circular motion to dispense ink from the ink reservoir ( 2 ) by centrifugal force via the entry hole ( 3 ) to refill the marker ( 6 ) through the nib.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A system for refilling of used markers, said system comprising: at least one round plate ( 1 ) mounted on a supporting platform; at least one ink reservoir ( 2 ) adapted to store ink and positioned at center of the round plate ( 1 ); at least one entry hole ( 3 ) on the ink reservoir ( 2 ) adapted to hold a nib of a marker ( 6 ); wherein the at least one round plate ( 1 ) is mounted on a motor or a manually driven bevel gear handle adapted to rotate the round plate ( 1 ) in a circular motion to dispense ink from the ink reservoir ( 2 ). 2. The system for refilling of used markers as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ink is dispensed via the entry hole ( 3 ) to refill the marker ( 6 ) through the nib. 3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the round plate ( 1 ) comprises at least one slot ( 4 ), with at least one spring ( 5 ) positioned inside the slot ( 4 ), adapted to fit the marker ( 6 ) on the round plate ( 1 ). 4. The system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the nib of the marker ( 6 ) is inserted into the entry hole ( 3 ) of the ink reservoir ( 2 ).
