A new design for a marker holder and eraser has a front side and a back side, the back side having a recess. The front side has two openings for retaining markers. A metal plate and a magnet holder are disposed within the recess and an erasing material covers the recess. Projections extend from the magnet holder into openings on the front side to engage markers disposed in the openings, thereby holding the markers at any angle.

A mail carrier apparatus for carrying and organizing mail for delivery includes a board having a board front face, a board back face, a board top edge, a board bottom edge, a board left edge, and a board right edge. The board has an upper portion and a lower portion. A mail bin is coupled to the board back face. The mail bin comprises a bin left side, a bin right side, a bin back side, and a bin bottom side defining a bin cavity with the upper portion of the board back face to hold mail. A ledge is coupled to the board. The ledge is coupled to the board front face proximal the board bottom edge. The ledge supports magazines and larger envelopes resting against the board.

A device at properly aligns a user's hand when gripping a writing implement, such as 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 configure round 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 positioner 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.

An apparatus for modifying a sheet of a material (e.g., paper, cardstock, a plastic film, foil, fabric, etc.), or a substrate, includes a base, a handle and a plurality of tools held by the handle. The tools may be removably secured to the handle, and may be arranged in a variety of different ways. Each tool is capable of interacting with the substrate in a manner that will modify (e.g., cut, score, perforate, mark, etc.) the substrate. The handle is capable of being translated, or moved, at least partially across the substrate and of causing the tools to concurrently interact with and modify a plurality of laterally discrete, a substantially linear, substantially parallel locations of the substrate as the handle is translated at least partially across the substrate. Modular tools that may be used with an apparatus that holds a plurality of tools or with hand-held handles are also disclosed, as are methods for simultaneously modifying a plurality of laterally discrete, a substantially linear, substantially parallel locations of a substrate.

A tourniquet includes windlass having a cavity and a writing instrument configured to be stored in the cavity. The writing instrument is retained in the cavity through a friction fit and without threads, such that a frictional force decreases as the writing instrument is removed from the cavity.

A pen holder for engaging a spiral coil of a notebook includes a planar body sized to be inserted into the spiral coil of the notebook having first and second straight edges, a series of slotted perforations defined along the first straight edge and configured to mesh with the spiral coil of the notebook, and a plurality of horizontal slots arranged in a column parallel with the series of slotted perforations and configured to engage a clip of a writing instrument.

A fluorescent blackboard comprises a housing, a circuit hoard fixed on the housing by screws, a display screen fixed by the circuit board, and a panel attached and fixed on the housing by the adhesive tape. The fluorescence blackboard is configured with a fixed device that limits and fixes the panel. The present disclosure uses that the fluorescent blackboard 1 configured with the fixed device that limits and fixes the panel, which makes the panel be firmly limited and fixed on the housing, which avoids the panel from coming lose. When the panel is squeezed, the fixed device can protect the panel, which avoids damage to the panel.

A marking apparatus facilitates blind mounting of an object to a mounting surface in a desired alignment using the object as an alignment template. One end of the apparatus is configured to be affixed to a mounting slot or edge of the object, then the other end used to mark the appropriate supporting fastener location on the mounting surface. The object's mounting slots or edges may be represented by mounting hardware components that are flush with, recessed in, or protruding from the local planar surface of the object. To accommodate a broad variety of mounting conditions and mounting hardware, certain embodiments of the apparatus may include selectively adjustable or interchangeable head adapters, distinct head and retention configurations and/or a hardware relief channel. A channel adapter is disclosed for use with embodiments of the apparatus having a hardware relief channel. Embodiments of a slot-securable point marking tool are also disclosed.
