Abstract
Abstract A correction fluid dispenser comprising a body member adapted to retain correction fluid, a barrel member received by the body member, a core portion extending axially of the body and barrel members, and a tip seal member disposed in a recess in the core portion and spring biased toward an orifice in the barrel member to block the orifice and prevent flow of fluid therethrough, the tip seal member being retractable against the spring bias to permit fluid flow through the orifice, the body and barrel members being operable to move the core portion, and thereby the tip seal member, into the orifice in blocking, nonretractable position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A correction fluid dispenser comprising a body member adapted to retain a correction fluid, a barrel member engaged with said body member, a core portion extending axially of said body member and said barrel member, a tip seal member telescopically engaged with said core portion, and a spring means disposed between said core portion and said tip seal member, said body member and said barrel member being relatively rotatable to a first position in which said tip seal member is spring biased toward an orifice in said barrel member to retractably block said orifice to prevent flow of said fluid therethrough unless the spring bias is overcome and a second position in which said core portion is moved axially to its telescopic limit to force said tip seal member against said orifice to prevent retraction of said tip seal member, said core portion and said tip seal member being adapted to rotate with said body member and relative to said barrel member and orifice to provide a wiping action to aid in the removal of particulate material or fluid residue.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
A correction fluid dispenser comprising a body member adapted to retain a correction fluid, a barrel member engaged with said body member, a core portion extending axially of said body member and said barrel member, a tip seal member telescopically engaged with said core portion, and a spring means disposed between said core portion and said tip seal member, said body member and said barrel member being relatively rotatable to a first position in which said tip seal member is spring biased toward an orifice in said barrel member to retractably block said orifice to prevent flow of said fluid therethrough unless the spring bias is overcome and a second position in which said core portion is moved axially to its telescopic limit to force said tip seal member against said orifice to prevent retraction of said tip seal member, said core portion and said tip seal member being adapted to rotate with said body member and relative to said barrel member and orifice to provide a wiping action to aid in the removal of particulate material or fluid residue.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A correction fluid dispenser as described in claim 1 in which said barrel member and said body member are engaged by means of a set of cooperating threads.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A correction fluid dispenser as described in claim 1 in which said barrel member and said body member are engaged by means of cooperating shoulder and flange means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A correction fluid dispenser as described in claim 1 in which the movement of said core portion results from the engagement of cooperating cam slot means and pin means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A correction fluid dispenser as described in claim 1 in which the force necessary to retract said tip seal member against said spring bias is from about two to about five grams.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A correction fluid dispenser as described in claim 1 in which said body member and said barrel member are made from a moldable nylon polymer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
192 words
A correction fluid dispenser comprising a body member adapted to retain a correction fluid, a barrel member engaged by means of cooperating shoulder and flange means with said body member, a core portion extending axially of said body member and said barrel member, a coil spring disposed within said core portion and a tip seal member engaged with said core portion and spring biased toward an orifice in said barrel member to retractably block said orifice to prevent flow of said fluid therethrough, said tip seal member being retractable against said spring bias by the application of a force of about two to about five grams to provide flow of said fluid through said orifice, said barrel member and core portion having co-operating cam slot means and pin means to move said core portion in response to relative rotation of said body member and said barrel member thereby moving said tip seal member into said orifice in nonretractable blocking position, said core portion and said tip seal member being adapted to rotate with said body member, said dispenser being constructed of a moldable nylon polymer and containing an organic solvent-based correction fluid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
192 words
A correction fluid dispenser comprising a body member adapted to retain a correction fluid, a barrel member engaged by means of cooperating shoulder and flange means with said body member, a core portion extending axially of said body member and said barrel member, a coil spring disposed within said core portion and a tip seal member engaged with said core portion and spring biased toward an orifice in said barrel member to retractably block said orifice to prevent flow of said fluid therethrough, said tip seal member being retractable against said spring bias by the application of a force of about two to about five grams to provide flow of said fluid through said orifice, said barrel member and core portion having co-operating cam slot means and pin means to move said core portion in response to relative rotation of said body member and said barrel member thereby moving said tip seal member into said orifice in nonretractable blocking position, said core portion and said tip seal member being adapted to rotate with said body member, said dispenser being constructed of a moldable nylon polymer and containing an organic solvent-based correction fluid.
