Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0037266A2] The invention relates to a writing device, comprising a shaft (10) for holding, said shaft having a first (10a) and second end area (10b). A roller arrangement (30; 33, 34) which can pivot about a first pivot axis (100) and can therefore be folded in and out is situated in the first end area (10a). A roller (34) can be freely rotated about a second axis (101) on a pivot support (33) in this arrangement. The second and first axes (100, 101) do not run parallel. In this way, the invention ergonomically improves the handling of the writing device. The invention also improves the overview for applying ink with the roller arrangement, allows the user a view of the ink that has just been applied and also creates such an overview that applying ink with the roller is practically the same as writing with the pointed end of a writing device.
