The Writing Device: Ballpoint Pen

This small ballpoint pen is also known now as every student’s bestfriend, without this probably our day will be ruined. A ballpoint pen is a writing device that has definitely made writing easy for us. This device has an ink cartridge, socket and a perfect circle ball as its major parts.

The ball is the primitive part of a ballpoint pen; this is a mechanism for getting the ink onto the paper. It is located between the ink cartridges and is being held by a socket and it is perfectly fitted where the space is enough to roll as we right. As we write the ball turns and gravity forces occur as the ink travels down to the ink cartridge and into the back of the ball which is being exposed so it can pick up ink from the ink cartridge. The ink cartridge serves as the passage way of the ink as it travels forth to the ball and it is where the ink is being stored. While the socket also plays an important part in the process of writing, it holds the ball and allows it to rotate freely without letting the losing the ball. This kind of ballpoint pen is using a fast-drying quick ink.

As we write with the help of our hands, the ball rotates and other parts of the ballpoint pen plays their respective roles and by the gravity force that is present which allows the ink to travel gives the writing process possible and successful as the ink leaves a mark at the surface.
