The invention provides a portable display apparatus. The portable display apparatus includes a clipstand that attaches to a barreled device and is used to display information, including holding other metal-backed items. The clipstand surface has a magnet embedded so that different faces can be attached to the clip surface and allow different information to be displayed, and different items to be held. The present invention also includes a clear plastic sleeve, the tag, attached to a metal bar to allow the tag to stick to the magnet. Different cards can be placed into the tag, and the tag may be written on with an erasable marker to allow for different displays. The clipstand may be displayed on a table attached to a barreled instrument or worn on a lanyard.

A fluid ejection system can include a carriage base that includes a first pen slide at a bottom rear of the carriage base, a second pen slide at a front of the carriage base, and a pen guide at a top rear of the carriage base, the pen guide can include a guide portion to engage a substantially vertical portion of a back corner of a pen, a blocker portion to engage a substantially horizontal portion of the top back corner of the pen, and a pen guide corner formed between the guide portion and the blocker portion to hold a top back corner of a pen substantially in place during an angular loading of the pen.

A handheld implement used in precision work requiring a user to grip the implement handle close to the tool head or tip, used in various manual activities. The implement includes a generally cylindrical handle that has a flat surface on one side formed by cutting away a segment of the cylinder down part of its length by a plane that intersects at an angle of a few degrees off the parallel of the handle’s axis, such that the handle tapers into a tail section. The resulting flat area can resemble a partially truncated or full ellipse. The generally rounded leading end can engage the thumb and fingertips of the user, while the tail’s flat area can rest generally along the side of the index finger. The handle’s tail section can have enough weight to keep the flat area flush against a table surface, elevating the tool head and preventing rolling.

An apparatus for securing a writing implement to a complementary magnetic surface. The apparatus includes a body formed of a ferromagnetic material, the body extending between a first end and a second end of the housing. A first and second end of the body defines an opening that forms a channel extending between a plurality of lateral interior surfaces from the first end to the second end. In an embodiment, a protrusion is disposed within the housing and extends from one lateral interior surface toward the channel. In an embodiment, a stopper may be disposed proximate to the second end of the body and partially extend from a lateral interior surface toward the opening. In an embodiment, the housing receives the writing implement, and a protrusion contacts the writing implement securing it in place.

The present invention relates generally to the field of writing notebooks and tablets, in particular a magnetic notebook and magnetic writing utensil system. The system includes a notebook with a magnetic zone disposed in one or both of the front and rear cover, and a magnetic writing utensil which can be attached to either cover. Further, the magnetic writing utensil has an integrated LED light that illuminates the writing surface and the tip of the utensil.

An exemplary slot-securable point marking tool comprises a first arm extending longitudinally from a base end to a guide leading edge, and a second arm extending longitudinally from the base end to an insertion guide lip. A tool mouth is defined between the guide leading edge and the insertion guide lip. A tool axis extends from the base end to the tool mouth. A point axis is defined orthogonally to the tool axis. The tool mouth is movable in a direction parallel to the point axis between a securement configuration and an expanded configuration. The tool mouth is resiliently biased toward the securement configuration. The second arm includes at least one slot alignment protuberance extending toward the first arm in a direction parallel to the point axis. The second arm includes a marking point element extending along the point axis oppositely of the at least one slot alignment protuberance.

The invention is directed to a device that properly aligns a user's hand when gripping a writing implement, such as a pencil. The device includes four separate elements that combine in specific ways to grow and/or build a mature grasp. The device includes a base that is configured around the pencil and provides support for the user's fingers. A handle can releasably attach to the writing implement, providing support for the user's palm. A web support can be releasably attached to the handle, thereby stabilizing the user's thumb while gripping the writing implement. The device can also include an independent web support that can be moved closer or towards the base depending on the separation needed. Advantageously, the grip device provides several stages to develop and build a mature grip pattern.

Various embodiments of hygienic disposable sheet wraps for writing utensils are disclosed. A hygienic disposable sheet wrap may include a rectangular sheet of material, which may include an adhesive on at least one side thereof. A hygienic disposable sheet wraps may be perforated to define edges of separable single wrap sections. The perforations may include arcuate sections that may define a tab associated with each single wrap section. A hygienic disposable sheet wrap may be wrapped around a writing utensil. An outer single wrap section may be peeled away from the underlying portion of the rectangular sheet of material to which it may be adhered. This may be done by grasping and pulling the outer single wrap section. An outer single wrap section may be separated from an adjoining single wrap section by applying a pulling force to tear the perforations adjoining the two single wrap sections.
