Abstract: A clip for holding a writing instrument such as a ballpoint or felt tipped pen is provided which is also useful as a book mark, for example in a text book. The device is formed from an inexpensive, suitable plastic and allows the user to withdraw the pen shaft for writing while the pen cap is retained by the clip. Depending legs pivot to accept book pages for maintaining the clip in frictional engagement thereon.

Abstract: A holder for long slender implements such as pencils and pens is disclosed. The holder comprises a support member which is preferably a thin web having opposed side surfaces. The web includes at least one opening that communicates with each of the side surfaces. Each side of the opening is surrounded by a plurality of flexible fingers which extend away from each side surface in a converging relationship so that the flexible fingers form a hollow frusto-conical shape that is preferably divided into equal segments. A long slender implement inserted through an opening in an outer end of the frusto conical shape forces the outer ends of the flexible fingers outward. The pressure exerted by the flexible fingers holds the long slender implement securely. The holder may be provided with a resilient clip, an adhesive or a magnetic base for attaching the holder to a variety of suitable surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for holding a score card. It has three pieces: (1) a rigid, generally rectangular, planar support member having an edge portion, an inside surface, and an outside surface, and (2) a clip member 14 secured along the edge portion of the support member 12, and (3) a hook member 28. The support member has dimensions slightly greater than the dimensions of the score card and a cut-a-way corner section, and the clip member 14 is a unitary structure made from a polymeric material. It has three main components: a mounting section 24, a finger element 26, and a pencil holder 30. The mounting section 24 abuts and is secured to the inside surface 22 of the support member 12 adjacent the edge portion of the support member. The finger element 26 extends outwardly in a first direction from the mounting section 24, and has a downward extending tip section 34 which is spaced from the mounting section 24 to provide a narrow gap A which receives the edge portion of the support member.

Abstract: A writing instrument packing kit assembly comprises a body and a lid member joined together so as to be detachable. The body is provided in its bottom with a holder portion adapted to assure that the tips of writing instruments packed therein are clamped and held in place and around an open end with an inclined surface portion inclined slightly, gradually and outwardly from the open end and a recessed portion in the vicinity thereof, and the lid member is provided on the inner-peripheral side in the vicinity of its open end with a suitable number of projecting pieces to be inserted into the recessed portion in the body and on its inner periphery with a thickened portion to be joined to the inclined surface portion of the body.

Abstract: A grip-steadying device for a writing instrument with an elevated-elongate grip-protrusion extending from the barrel of the instrument. The protrusion may extend from, or comprise a collar adapted to slidably encircle the barrel that can be moved to a point convenient to the grip of the user, or be positioned over the writing tip of the instrument when the latter is not in use. If desired, a holding clip can be provided in association with the collar.

Abstract: Elongated objects of varying widths and diameters are held between holding surfaces attached perpendicularly to a back wall, with at least one of said surfaces being formed on the convex side of a resilient arcuate member which member is biased toward the other holding surface and is positioned in spaced relationship to said back wall by an extension and brace which attach said member to said back wall, which back wall can be attached to another area by double-backed adhesive or screws.

Abstract: A receptacle for a pencil, tool or the like which is initially slidably carried upon a workman's suspender strap by use of loops. Typically, after the suspenders have been adjusted and sized to fit the body and suit the preferences of the workman intending to use the suspenders, the receptacle is axially displaced along and relative to the associated suspender strap until a location satisfying the desires of the workman is found whereupon the receptacle is stationarily anchored by one or more fasteners to the chosen suspender site so that inadvertent relative axial displacement thereafter is prevented.

Abstract: A pocket protector clip is formed to fit over the edge of a shirt or coat pocket to protect the edges of the pocket from marking or damage and keep a pen or pencil oriented properly when the pen or pencil is clipped on to the protector clip. The protector clip has two panels, joined at first edges, and one panel is placed on each side of the pocket cloth panel. The inside clip panel has notches for receiving the remote portion of the barrel of pens or pencils which are clipped on the protector clip, to stabilize the barrel in position on the protector clip.
