capillary pens (pens (drawing and writing implements), <drafting, drawing and writing equipment by specific type>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Pens with a tip made of a very small cylindrical tube with one open end making contact with the writing surface and generally with the other end in contact with the ink supply (alternatively they may be dip pens). They are used primarily in recording instruments, but also for writing and drawing. They are distinguished from the many other types of pens that work via a tube and capillary action in that they do not have a ball point, felt tip, needle, or other object fitted into the tube of the writing tip, but instead use the small diameter of the tube and external air pressure to regulate the flow of ink. |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Pennen met een punt in de vorm van een zeer dunne cilindrische buis. De opening aan de ene kant komt in contact met het schrijfpapier en de opening aan de andere kant is verbonden met een inktreservoir (maar het kunnen ook dooppennen zijn). Ze worden voornamelijk gebruikt in registratieapparatuur, maar ook om mee te schrijven en te tekenen. In tegenstelling tot andere soorten pennen die ook gebruik maken van de capillaire werking van dunne buisjes, hebben ze aan het uiteinde geen balpunt, viltstift, naald of een ander object, maar zorgt de kleine diameter van de buis en de externe luchtdruk voor regulering van de inktstroom. |
