Abstract: |
A tapered, tubular sheath is shaped to receive, and retain against unintentional dislodgment, the end of a conventional ballpoint pen. Ears project from opposite sides of the sheath providing a flat attachment surface. Apertures are formed in the ears to receive a wrist-encircling strap. As an alternate means of attachment to a telephone base or other structure, a fiber backing carrying pressure sensitive adhesive on top and bottom surfaces may be applied to the attachment surface and protected by removable paper. The paper may be removed to attach the device to a permanent structure; the backing itself may be removed to expose the apertures for insertion of the strap. A metal clip may be attached to the backing to attach to a pocket; if the clip is magnetized, it may cling to a steel surface.
