Abstract:
1. A method for activating an art instrument having a self-contained reservoir in a reservoir body in which application liquid is stored, comprising: arranging a regulating ring around an open end of the reservoir body; then attaching a dispensing assembly that dispenses the application liquid from the reservoir to the reservoir body such that the regulating ring is at least partly interposed between the reservoir body and the dispensing assembly, the dispensing assembly comprising: initially positioning the regulating ring in a position in which the regulating ring limits movement of the actuating assembly and prevents opening of the closure of the channel of the secondary orifice restrictor to thereby maintain the channel of the secondary orifice restrictor in a closed state; and then when activation of the art instrument is desired, manually adjusting the regulating ring, without removing the regulating ring from its position interposed between the reservoir body and the dispensing assembly, to enable the regulating ring to be brought to a position in which the regulating ring allows movement of the actuating assembly to a position in which the actuating assembly opens the closure of the channel of the secondary orifice restrictor and the channel of the primary orifice restrictor is then in flow communication with the channel of the second orifice restrictor and thus enables dispensing of application liquid from the reservoir.
