Pens

The inventor of the ballpoint pen was Bíró.

He was a versatile man, studied medicine. In the period from 1921 to 1939 he worked as a journalist, artist, driver and inventor.

While working as a journalist he is often annoyed at the shortcomings of the pen: he had to refill it regularly, sometimes made with stains, and tore the paper occasionally. In 1938, during a visit to a printing house, he noticed that for newspaper printing ink dries much faster than the ink of a fountain pen, so no spots emerged. He tried the same ink in a fountain pen to use, which failed because the ink viscosity is too high and did not follow through the point. Together with his brother Georg, a chemist, he developed a new nib containing a ball that the ink from the paper roll out a pattern, rather than the ink on the paper flow by itself. It also acted as ball valve of the ink reservoir, which prevented the ink dried out. After being displaced by the newly introduced anti-Jewish laws in Hungary, Bíró patented his invention in 1938 in Paris.

Five years later, in 1943, the brothers emigrated to Argentina, where they applied for a new patent, then the company Biro Pens of Argentina was founded. During World War II pens were used by pilots of the British Royal Air Force, because the ink from fountain pens froze at high altitude and therefore useless. These pens were produced under license by the Miles-Martin Pen Company . Bíró died in 1985 in Buenos Aires. On his birthday, Sept. 29, is still celebrated every year Inventorsday.

A ballpoint pen in Argentina is still known as birome , in several other countries, including Britain, Australia and New Zealand, as Biro.
