Abstract: An electrically heated writing instrument comprising a hollow barrel including a conical end, a battery circuit housing including an electrical connecting means and at least one battery, a writing member, and a heating member or a heating cartridge including a heating member disposed about or within the hollow barrel. The writing instrument further includes a switching means coupled to said at least one battery and said heating member for controllably supplying power to the heating member and an end cap removably attached to said hollow barrel. In another embodiment there is disclosed an electrically heated writing instrument kit including a plurality of hollow barrels, a plurality of end caps, a plurality of pen covers, where each hollow barrel, end cap and pen cover comprises one of a plurality of colors, a heating cartridge, a plurality of writing members, each writing member including a writing medium comprising one of a plurality of colors, at least one battery, a switching means and a strap.

Abstract: The electrically heated hand grip includes a hand grip, a heating member disposed within the hand grip, an end cap assembly removably attached to the hand grip, and an electrical switch coupled to a power source for controlling the supply of current to the heating member. The end cap assembly includes a receptacle for receiving the power source and an electrical connecting means. The end cap assembly may include a light-emitting diode and a charging means. In an alternative embodiment, the electrically heated hand grip includes a resilient strip having a heating member attached to an interior surface of the resilient strip to form a heating strip. The heating strip is spirally wrapped about a grip-receiving portion of a shaft. An end cap assembly is coupled to the end of a shaft to secure a portion of the heating strip. The heated hand grip can include a sleeve which is inserted on the end of a shaft and the heating strip is spirally wrapped about the sleeve.
