Ballpoint pen refers to a pen that takes out the writing medium by rolling a ball at the front end of the pen core. According to records, the name of ballpoint pen first appeared in 1888, which was designed by American journalist John Lauder, but it was not made into a commodity at that time. Since then, 1985 similar non-writing ballpoint pen has been sold in the British market, but it has not been popularized because of its narrow use.
The real ballpoint pen was invented by Hungarian journalist László Bíró and his brother George. Biro knew well the problems of ordinary pens, so after many experiments, he finally invented the first commercial ballpoint pen-Biro ballpoint pen, and applied for a patent. Since then, Britain has purchased the right to use this ballpoint pen, which was well received at that time.
Development:
In order to promote this commodity, businessmen made a big fuss about it and the atomic bomb exploded in Japan at that time, and named it "atomic pen". But in fact, ballpoint pens have nothing to do with atomic bombs, and because of their convenience in writing, they quickly became popular all over the world. After World War II, ballpoint pen was introduced to China, and it is still one of the main writing tools in China.
