Abstract: A marking pen including a body including a pen and a cap. The cap includes a clip including a first leg that extends from the cap body and away from the cap body in a first direction that is along a transverse axis of the cap body, a second leg that extends from the first leg and away from the first leg in a second direction to create a gap between the second leg and the cap body, and a third leg that extends from the second leg in a third direction along a longitudinal axis of the cap body and the third leg also extends toward the cap body along the transverse axis of the cap body. The clip is configured to attach the cap to an article of clothing in the gap between the second leg and the cap body.

Abstract: A ballpoint pen system having a slidable pen cap. A ballpoint ink cartridge disposed inside a pen housing has a ballpoint tip protruding out of a pen housing anterior aperture. The pen cap is disposed on a pen housing anterior end for capping the ballpoint tip. At least one linear pen cap through-slot is disposed through a pen cap side surface. At least one raised stopper located on the pen housing near the pen housing anterior end is disposed through the through-slot of the pen cap such that linearly sliding the pen cap causes the pen cap to move longitudinally relative to the pen housing. Sliding the pen cap to an extended position causes the pen cap to cover the ballpoint tip. Sliding the pen cap to a retracted position causes the ballpoint tip to protrude from the pen cap anterior aperture.

Abstract: A writing implement support system for releasably positioning a writing implement with respect to a recipient surface comprises a suction cup that has a generally hemispherical shape. The suction cup is configured to be compressed against a generally flat recipient surface. The compression forms a first bond having a holding force of an intermediate magnitude. A connector is located on the outer convex surface of the suction cup. A writing implement has a writing end and a non-writing end. A writing implement cap is configured to form a second bond with the writing implement. The second bond has a holding force of a weak magnitude. The cap is also configured to form a third bond with the connector. The third bond has a holding force of a strong magnitude.

Abstract: An adhesive tape pen, comprises essentially a pen casing, a pen clip, adhesive tape rolls and an ink cartridge. The adhesive tape rolls are provided within the pen casing, and are fixed within the pen casing by a central shaft in a manner that the rolls can rotate by an external pulling force. A slit is provided in the pen casing for cutting the adhesive tape. The ink cartridge can be exposed by rotation of the front portion of the pen casing and thus can likewise be used for writing.
