  • Patent number: 6155469
    Abstract: A notepad and writing instrument holder, particularly adapted for mounting on a surface within the interior of an automobile, for example, includes one piece construction comprising a molded plastic structure with first and second members which are hinged together along a living hinge portion. One of the members nests within the other such that opposed side panels of each member cooperate to retain the two members in a fixed position relative to each other to provide a writing surface for a notepad which is adjustable to suit the writer's needs and position relative to the notepad holder. Ratchet teeth formed on one member cooperate with detent members formed on the other member. The notepad holder may be injection molded in a generally flat planar configuration and the two members are formed by folding circular sector shaped side panels of each member with respect to center panels of each member into their working positions.

  • Patent number: 6155425
    Abstract: The present invention provides an ink-slab for calligraphy, wherein a hollow case is formed. A baffle partitions the space of the case into a water tank and an ink tank. Each tank has an opening. The openings of the water tank and the ink tank extend upwards to form necks and are installed slantingly along the direction of hair arrangement and ink scraping. Using so integrated but still separate design, the user can select to moisten a hair pencil with ink or dilute or wash it with water according to necessity. Hair arrangement will be more smooth and the scraped ink can be prevented from spilling out of the opening. An accommodation tank is formed in the case and a case cover is matched with the accommodation tank. Tissue papers can be placed in the accommodation tank to be taken along with the ink-slab. Concavity grooves are formed on the bottom edges of side walls of the cover for the accommodation tank. Hair pencils can be placed on the concavity grooves when the cover is placed upside down.
