    Patent number: 6305864
    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.
