US Patent:

6950004, Sep 27, 2005

Filed:

Nov 26, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/953312

Inventors:

Arthur Alexander Godoy - Long Beach CA, US
Stephen Andrew Godoy - Long Beach CA, US

International Classification:

B43K005/00

US Classification:

336160, 81 922

Abstract:

Prior art electromagnetic coil technology in tattoo machines employs a round steel post to alternately repel and attract an armature bar retained by a spring, reciprocally moving a needle bar and attached needle groupings into and out of the skin in the act of tattooing. The present invention uses a hexahedron shaped steel post to increase the surface area contacted on the armature bar, improving the magnetism and general movement of the bar. The improved rate of movement of the armature improves the overall functioning of the tattoo machine including the operator's ability to achieve more solid color, smoother shading, and more consistent lines. Removable retaining washers and o-rings are employed to allow the operator to customize and repair the magnetic wire.
