Marker airbrush

A marker airbrush device comprising:

• a housing having a first end and a second end, the housing comprising an air outlet positioned on a horizontal axis of the housing, an air outlet opening positioned on the horizontal axis and through which air travelling through the air outlet exits the housing, and a trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet;
• a marker positioner coupled to the first end of the housing, the marker positioner configured to secure a marking device comprising a marker first end having a marker nib portion and a marker second end opposite the marker first end, wherein the marker positioner comprises a conical tip having an interior surface that defines a hollow interior for accepting the marker first end of the marker device, wherein a first end of the air outlet is formed in the interior surface of the conical tip and wherein a central axis of the conical tip is in a non-collinear position at a first angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees relative to the horizontal axis on which the air outlet opening is positioned, wherein the marker positioner positions at least a portion of the marker first end of the marking device at a second angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees relative to the air outlet opening such that air traveling through the air outlet enters the hollow interior of the conical tip and contacts at least a portion of the marker nib portion within the airbrush housing at the second angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees to transfer marking solution from the marking device onto a writing surface,
• wherein the conical tip comprises a conical tip opening through which air travelling from the air outlet opening exits the hollow interior of the conical tip after contacting at least the portion of the marker nib portion, the conical tip opening being positioned on the central axis of the conical tip,
• wherein the marker positioner comprises a rotatable collar for adjusting a position of at least a portion of the marking device at a particular depth relative to the air outlet, wherein at least a portion of the rotatable collar rotates around a circumference of a marker housing of the marking device,
• and further wherein the marker positioner comprises a height adjustment mechanism coupled to the rotatable collar, wherein rotation of the rotatable collar in a first direction advances the marking device into a path of air flowing through the air outlet based on travel of the height adjustment mechanism relative to the housing, and wherein rotation of the rotatable collar in a second direction retracts the marking device from the path of air flowing through the air outlet based on travel of the height adjustment mechanism relative to the housing;
• and
• a hand-pumping device coupled to the second end of the housing, the hand-pumping device adapted to pump air through the air outlet.

A marker airbrush device comprising:

• an airbrush housing having a first end and a second end oriented along a horizontal axis, the airbrush housing comprising:
• (1) an air outlet comprising an air outlet opening through which air traveling through the air outlet-exits the airbrush housing, at least the air outlet opening being positioned on the horizontal axis,
• (2) a trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet;
• and
• (3) a marker positioner coupled to the first end of the airbrush housing, the marker positioner configured to secure a marking device comprising a marker first end having a marker nib portion and a marker second end opposite the marker first end, wherein the marker positioner secures the marker first end of the marking device and comprises a conical tip having an interior surface defining a hollow interior for accepting the marker first end of the marking device, wherein the air outlet opening is formed within the interior surface of the conical tip and wherein a central axis of the conical tip is at a first non-collinear angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees relative to the horizontal axis on which the air outlet opening is positioned such that air traveling through the air outlet opening enters the hollow interior of the conical tip and contacts the marker first end of the marking device positioned within the hollow interior at a second non-collinear angle prior to exiting the air airbrush housing, wherein the marker positioner comprises:
• a stabilizing ring on a portion of a circumference of the hollow interior, wherein said stabilizing ring secures the position of the marking device inside the marker positioner,
• wherein the conical tip comprises a conical tip opening through which air travelling from the air outlet opening exits the hollow interior of the conical tip after contacting at the marker first end, the conical tip opening being positioned on the central axis of the conical tip.

A marker airbrush device comprising:

• an airbrush housing having a first end and a second end oriented along a central, horizontal axis, the airbrush housing comprising an air outlet positioned on the horizontal axis and having an air outlet opening positioned on the horizontal axis and through which air travelling through the air outlet exits the airbrush housing, and a trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet;
• a marker positioner coupled to the first end of the airbrush housing, the marker positioner configured to secure a marking device comprising a marker first end having a marker nib portion and a marker second end opposite the marker first end, wherein the marker positioner positions the marker first end of the marking device and comprises a conical tip having an interior surface that defines a hollow interior for accepting at least the marker nib portion of the marker first end, wherein the air outlet opening is formed within the interior surface of the conical tip and wherein a central axis of the conical tip is at a first non-collinear angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees with respect to the horizontal axis on which the air outlet opening is positioned such that air traveling through the air outlet opening enters the hollow interior and contacts at least a portion of the marker nib portion at a second non-collinear angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees prior to exiting the airbrush housing to transfer marking solution from the marking device onto a writing surface,
• wherein the conical tip comprises a conical tip opening through which air travelling from the air outlet opening exits the hollow interior of the conical tip after contacting at the marker first end, the conical tip opening being positioned on the central axis of the conical tip,
• wherein the marker positioner further comprises a stabilizing ring on at least a portion of the interior surface of the conical tip for removably coupling the marker first end of the marking device to at least a portion of the marker positioner;
• and
• a hand-pumping device coupled to the second end of the airbrush housing, the hand-pumping device adapted to pump air through the air outlet.
