Why not, those have been around quite a while

 

Who Invented the Ballpoint?

 

László Bíró patented what is considered the first ballpoint pen in 1938, though he had been developing it for almost a decade beforehand with his brother György.

 

Born to a Jewish family in Hungary, Laszlo was a newspaper man and journalist by trade, while György was a dentist. 

 

Frustrated with the writing tools of their day, Laszlo and György invented a special ink made with a paste instead of water that made the ballpoint possible.

 

But while Bíró is considered the original inventor, another man laid the foundation for the modern ballpoint pen.

When Was the Ballpoint Pen Invented?

 

John J. Loud obtained what is technically the first patent for a ballpoint pen, US #392,046, on 30th October 1888.

 

A leather tanner, Harvard-educated lawyer, and inventor, Loud was born on November 2, 1844. While tanning leather, he often needed to mark a point to cut. A pencil would be too faint and using a fountain pen made this process quite messy. In frustration Loud wracked his brain for an alternative.

 

He designed a writing tool that had a small rotating metal ball clutched in a socket. 

 

Think of a roll-on bottle. A large ball sits inside a cylinder, clutched against the end by a socket that allows it to spin freely.

 

This mechanism allowed the ball to cycle ink from the reservoir inside the pen to the surface as the ball spun around in its socket.

 

Loud described the writing instrument as follows:

 

“My invention consists of an improved reservoir or fountain pen, especially useful, among other purposes, for marking on rough surfaces such as wood, coarse wrapping-paper, and other articles where an ordinary pen could not be used.”
