Seven 7 years later, they filed a patent to Britain and France to continue the growth of their ballpoint pen business. The main purpose of the factory is to produce and sell the pens to the people who are in need of the ballpoint pen. After World War II, other designers of ballpoint pens sell their products but with limited success.
In , Milton Reynolds was on a business trip to Buenos Aires when he saw a ballpoint pen and when he returned to America, he redesigned it to get that American patent. As time passes by many innovations on the ballpoint pen were made, but only a few became successful.
Such innovations included the gel pen , mechanical pencil, highlighter, brush pen, colored pencil, technical pen, marker, fountain pen, the multifunctional pen, and the rollerball.
One of the famous innovations on the ballpoint pen was the ballpoint pen with springs or the retractable pen. Frawley in The retractable pen is a type of ink-pen which have a spring-loaded ink cartridge which retracts and extends outside a protective housing, the spring provides the tension that retracts the ink cartridge.
Pressing the button located at the end of the pen moves the system from one place to another and brings out the pen tip and enabling the user to write with it. Since then, the retractable pen has widely used the type of ballpoint pen in the world because it is convenient to use because just by clicking the button the ballpoint will go out from its housing and ready to use for writing.
One important part of the retractable pen or click pen is the spring that enables the machine to do its job. When one stretches or contracts a spring, kinetic energy is stored in it. When the pen is clicked, the energy stored in the spring is released, and the spring goes back to its original form. Ball at the point can be of different diameter and can be made of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide. It is today the most widespread writing instrument and has literally changed the way we write.
Trying to invent a pen which can write on leather, a tanner John J. Loud invented the first ballpoint pen and patented it in in America. This pen had a small steel ball which was placed so it could not fall out nor fall in but it still could rotate freely.
This invention was not commercially viable and could not be used for writing. Because of that patent lapsed in time.
