An apparatus for connecting a writing implement to a glassboard, whiteboard or the like has a housing adapted to be connected to a writing implement. The housing has a side surface with an opening formed therein and a recess extending from the opening into the housing. A magnet is disposed in the recess and has a first pole at the opening. The magnet provides a magnetic field in a direction away from the side surface of the housing. The apparatus enables a side periphery of a writing implement coupled with the apparatus to magnetically couple with the glassboard, whiteboard or the like in a predetermined orientation regardless of the initial orientation of approach of the writing implement even in the presence of a similarly magnetically self-supporting writing implement or object.

A writing instrument organizer (10) which holds at least one writing instrument such as a pen or marker (42) and retains the lid (40) within the organizer (12) when the marker (42) is withdrawn. At least one hole (18) is located in a front plate (12) which is held parallel at a distance from a back plate (14) by end caps (16). The lid retention hole (18) in the front plate (12) is sized so that a standard marker or pen lid (42) cannot slip through when a marker (40) is pulled away from the organizer (10). The end plates (16) connect the back plate (14) to the front plate (12) and ensure the marker lid (42) is properly seated in the lid retention hole (18) in front plate (12).

An art medium applicator includes a rotating shaft and an art medium coupled thereto for causing the medium to travel through an application path for transfer to a substrate. The applicator includes a coupling assembly, and may include an applicator tip including a cavity into which the art medium is inserted and supported. An art medium modifier includes a rotating shaft and an art medium modifier coupled thereto for causing the modifier to travel through an application path for modification of an art medium previously applied to a substrate.

A stylus includes a cylindrical shaped housing and a shell. The shell is rotatably connected to the housing. A cross-sectional area of the housing has a first dimension along a first axis and a second dimension along a second axis, the first axis perpendicular to the second axis. The first dimension is smaller than the second dimension. A cross-sectional area including both the shell and the housing has a third dimension along the first axis that is substantially the same as the first dimension while the shell is in a first position and substantially the same as the second dimension while the shell is in a second position.

A writing instrument holder includes a base with a connector configured to connect the base to a hat. A first magnetic material is coupled to the base. A writing instrument sleeve is configured to wrap around a writing instrument and includes a second magnetic material. The first magnetic material is attracted to the second magnetic material. When the writing instrument sleeve is wrapped around the writing instrument, the writing instrument releasably secures to the base.

An apparatus for holding at least one of a pen and a business card. The apparatus comprises a deer antler formed of natural deer antlers having various configurations depending on the shape of such deer antler when shed by a deer. At least one holder member is engageable with at least one prong of the deer antler for holding at least one of business cards and a pen. There is a means for securing the at least one holder member to such deer antler.

The multi-tool assembly includes a housing which is made of two pieces that are joined together with a screw. The housing extends between opposite longitudinal ends and has opposite lateral sides which extend between the longitudinal ends. The assembly also includes a blade which extends out of one of the longitudinal ends of the housing. At least one spirit level is attached with the housing and is oriented either perpendicular or parallel to at least one of the lateral sides. The blade allows a person to use the multi-tool assembly as a utility knife, and the orientation of the lateral side in parallel with or perpendicular to the spirit level allows a user to use the multi-tool assembly as a torpedo level.
