Abstract:
1. Interconnectable modular markers for delivering pigment onto a receiving surface, comprising: a first marker comprising a tubular housing having a housing proximal end and a housing distal end; a quantity of pigment material contained within said housing; and a first arm set comprising two interconnection arms connected to and protruding laterally from said housing in substantially the same direction for engaging an adjacent such marker, said arms being staggered and spaced apart along the length of said housing, one said arm being an upper arm and one said arm being a lower arm; a second marker comprising a tubular housing having a housing proximal end and a housing distal end; a quantity of pigment material contained within said housing; and a first arm set comprising two interconnection arms connected to and protruding laterally from said housing in substantially the same direction for engaging an adjacent such marker, said arms being staggered and spaced apart along the length of said housing, one said arm being an upper arm and one said arm being a lower arm; such that one of the spaced apart upper and lower arms of said first arm set protruding from said first marker fit engagingly around the tubular housing of said second marker, and the spaced apart upper and lower arms of said first arm set protruding from said second marker fit engagingly around the tubular housing of said first marker to thereby interconnect each pair of adjacent markers, preventing interconnected markers from pivoting relative to each other, and such that each marker contributes one arm to a mutually interconnecting upper arm pair and one arm to a mutually interconnecting lower arm pair.
