Abstract:
1. An airbrush comprising: an elongate body having an internal cavity and an external grip surface to be held in the hand of a user; a DC electric motor oriented within the body internal cavity; an air pump oriented within the body internal cavity and operatively driven by the motor; a switch oriented on the elongate body external surface proximate to a finger of a user's hand; and a removable pen having an internal liquid reservoir and a nib, the pen cooperating with the elongate body and at least partially extending into a portion of the elongate body which defines an internal air chamber having an outlet nozzle and an inlet coupled to the air pump; wherein the user, grasping the elongate body, selectively actuates the switch to cause the motor to drive the pump providing an air stream of pressurized air to the air chamber which flows about the nib of the removable pen, drawing liquid particles from the nib into the air stream to form a mist which is sprayed from an outlet orifice of the outlet nozzle.
