A stationery securing apparatus and writing instrument holder is provided with a band, at least a portion of which is elastic. At least two writing instrument loops are attached to the elastic band, and a male snap portion and a female snap portion attached to the band, configured and arranged so that when the band is not in use securing stationery, it can be folded or rolled up and the male snap portion and the female snap portion can be snapped together to form a compact writing instrument holder.

A magnetic pen can be used with a magnetic panel. The magnetic pen includes a body with an end portion. A holder made of a magnetic material is attached to the end portion and an internal space is formed in the holder. A magnet having an S pole and an N pole is arranged in the internal space of the holder so that the S pole and the N pole are opposite the magnetic panel.

A device for connecting two objects, especially for holding a writing instrument on a notebook or the like, with a clamping body having clamping arms extending across a narrow side, for example, of the notebook, which clamping body grips one of the objects in a pliers-like fashion with its clamping arms and forms a holder for holding the other object, e.g., the writing instrument, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the narrow side. Mechanisms are provided to spread open the clamping arms.

A pen holding device configured to hold an electronic pen which has a first core that is elongated and is replaceable. The pen holding device includes a casing having an electronic pen holder that is configured to hold the electronic pen in an erect state or a laid state, and at least one refill core holder which is provided inside the casing and is configured to grasp a second core, which is a refill core for the electronic pen, in a direction different from a longitudinal direction of the electronic pen when the electronic pen is held in the erect state.

A marker storage accessory includes a main body having marker-engaging structure and writing surface engaging structure. The main body may also include cap-engaging structure or, alternatively, blocking structure. The marker-engaging structure includes a plurality of circumferentially positioned teeth adapted to be conformingly inserted into the complementarily shaped channels defined by the ribs located on the non-writing end of a writing instrument such as a dry-erase marker. The cap-engaging structure can include ribs creating a geometry adapted to conformingly receive the protruding end of a cap for the writing instrument. The blocking structure can be a protrusion adapted to prevent attachment of the marker storage accessory on the nub-end of the writing instrument while permitting attachment of a marker cap. When the marker storage accessory is attached to the writing surface, the marker self-positions to a generally nub-down orientation.

A tethering device for a utilization device (pen, marker, glue stick, etc.) having a cap. The tethering device maintains a connection between the utilization device and the cap during use of the utilization device. The tethering device comprises first and second adhering elements which conform to and adhere to an outer surface of at least one of the utilization device and the cap and an elongated flexible band having two ends positioned and connected to the first and second adhering elements respectively to flexibly connect the first and second adhering elements. The band has an effective length between the respective first and second adhering elements which is sufficient to permit the removable and replaceable cap to be removed from the utilization device and replaced thereon when the first and second adhering elements are adhered to the respective surfaces of the utilization device and the cap.

A pen track has an outer shell, a transmitting group, a rotating group, and a linking group. The transmitting group is mounted in the outer shell and has a portion rotatably abutting a drawing surface. The rotating group is mounted in the outer shell and has a modeling block. The modeling block is mounted in the outer shell, is rotated with the transmitting group, and has an outer surface and a modeling segment annularly formed on the outer surface of the modeling block and having multiple curved surfaces connecting each other. The linking group is mounted in the outer shell and has a pushing protrusion pressed against the modeling segment of the modeling block to move the linking group reciprocally relative to the outer shell along the curved surfaces of the modeling segment.

An illustration unit is disclosed for use by people who have less than optimal gripping capability. The handle of the illustration unit has a diameter sufficient to allow the user's pinky, ring, and middle fingers to come near to or in contact with the thenar while preventing a user's pinky, ring and middle fingers from contacting a user's proximal or distal palmar. Preferably, the handle is configured to enable a user to contact a surface approximately parallel to the user's body with a marking element. Either the handle or connector can be arcuate, having an interior surface and an exterior surface. At least one connector is dimensioned to be received in the receiving area and the second end to receive a marking element.

A pocket includes a body having a front side and a back side. The back side of the pocket has an adhesive material disposed over the back face. The adhesive material is covered by a removable wrapper that when removed exposes the adhesive on the back of the pocket. The pocket may then be secured to flat surface of a notebook, binder or the like by pressing the adhesive material into said surface. The pocket has a cavity that is accessible through an opening on the front side of the body. A stretchable lanyard cord is removably connected to the bottom of the pocket through a reinforced opening. The stretchable cord has a band at the distal end to receive a writing utensil. The pencil pocket is useful for tethering a writing utensil to a surface for easy access.

A wearable writing surface system having a wearable writing surface assembly including a writing surface having, a front-surface, a back-surface, a first attachment loop, and a second attachment loop, and a band. As designed, the band wraps about the wrist of the user-wearer such that, as configured, the user-wearer is able to write on the front-surface of the writing surface for on-the-job convenient use, the back-surface adjacent and contacting the wrist of the user-wearer.
