An air brush set including an air brush handle having a nozzle, a tank in communication with the handle, a pump in communication with the tank which is capable of increasing the pressure of gas within the tank and an ink source having a felt tip adapted to act in communication with the air brush nozzle.
Claims38
Apparatus comprising:
- (a) an air brush handle having a nozzle;
- (b) a tank in communication with the air brush handle;
- (c) a hand pump in communication with the tank which is capable of increasing the pressure of a gas in the tank;
- (d) means for controlling the flow of pressurized gas from the tank to the air brush handle;
- and
- (e) an interchangeable ink source removably fastened to the air brush handle and having a felt tip which at least partially surrounds the flow pressurized gas from the nozzle of the air brush handle, whereby
- the pump is operated to build up pressurized gas within the tank which is then released to and out of the nozzle of the air brush handle and brought in communication with the felt tip of the ink source, drawing ink from the ink source and into the flow of gas.

Apparatus comprising:
- (a) an air brush handle having a nozzle;
- (b) a tank in communication with the air brush handle;
- (c) a hand pump in communication with the tank which is capable of increasing the pressure of the gas inside the tank;
- (d) means for controlling the flow of pressurized gas from the tank to the air brush handle;
- (e) an interchangeable ink source removably fastened to the air brush handle and having a felt tip which at least partially surrounds the flow of pressurized gas from the nozzle of the air brush handle;
- and
- (f) an easel;
- whereby
- the pump is operated to build up pressurized gas within the tank which is then released to, and out of, the nozzle of the air brush handle and brought into communication with the felt tip of the ink source, drawing ink from the ink source and into the flow of gas which is directed to the easel.
