Explanation:
A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its predecessor, the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of liquid ink. The pen draws ink from the reservoir through a feed to the nib and deposits it on paper via a combination of gravity and capillary action.
A fountain pen has four key parts:
1.The reservoir (the ink tube concealed in the pen's handle).
2.The nib (the pointed metal end that you drag over the paper).
3.The feed (a plastic tube with three thin channels running down inside it that connects the nib to the reservoir).
4.The collector (visible as a set of grooves or fins just beneath the nib, this part of the feed collects ink flowing from the reservoir and stops too much flooding out at once).
There are a few other less essential bits and pieces too. There's a cap that conceals the nib when the pen's not in use and stops the ink leaking into your coat. Usually the cap has a clip on it so you can wear the pen safely in your pocket. There's a protective outer case called the barrel, covering the reservoir at the opposite end, often made from a highly attractive material coated with lacquer. In most fountain pens, the reservoir is either a refillable plastic tube (with a miniature piston/plunger mechanism inside it for drawing in ink from a bottle) or a disposable ink cartridge.
