Abstract: In a pen holder device, a pen holder body (3) contained in a support body (2) is pivotable between an operational position, which is slightly inclined from the perpendicular, and a generally horizontal readiness position, wherein an acute angle exists between the operational position and the readiness position. Bearing shoulders (15) provided on opposite sides of the pen holder body (3) rest with little friction upon support surfaces (12) having evenly curved surface areas. The center of gravity (21) of the pen holder body (3) alone is below the bearing shoulders (15) and the common center of gravity (20) of the pen holder body (3) and a writing instrument (4) inserted in it is above the bearing shoulders (15).

Abstract: A writing instrument of the type having a cylindrical body (1), with a forward end that carries a writing tubule (4) and an inner bore which communicates with the writing tip. A separate sheath body (15) is adapted to be covered by a sheath element (9). The sheath body is pushed onto the rearward end of the cylindrical body (1) and defines a compensating chamber (12, 14) on each of its outer and inner faces. The compensating chambers are connected proximate their rearward ends by a connecting bore (13). The inner compensating chamber (14) communicates with the inner bore through a transverse bore (7) provided in the forward area of the cylindrical body (1). A writing fluid tank (11) is mounted by being pushed onto the rearward end of the cylindrical body (1).

Abstract: A stand for receiving a tubular writing pen which comprises an insertion opening, a sealing element of elastically deformable material disposed below the insertion opening and adapted to come into a sealing engagement contact with the free end of the writing tube of an inserted tubular writing pen. The sealing element (4) has a bearing area for contact with a writing tube (12) that is convex curved in the direction toward said insertion opening of the stand (1, 2) and is deformable away from said insertion opening by contact with the tube. The stand further is characterized by an elastically deformable restraining element (5) which is provided between said sealing element (4) and said insertion opening, and adapted to engage against an inserted tubular writing pen (10, 11, 12).
