Assignee:

BIC Corporation

International Classification:

B43K 23008

US Classification:

401 6, 401 88, 401 98, 401243

Abstract:

A writing instrument is provided including a cartridge carrying a writing or highlighting medium, and a writing tip exposed at one end of the cartridge. The cartridge includes a reduced cross-section which forms an annular recessed and tapered cavity. A gripping member is received in the cavity and is preferably tubular in shape and is tapered to follow the tapered contour of the cartridge. The gripping member includes a smooth surface which may include a slightly elevated or raised pattern. The elevated pattern may comprise a plurality of interconnected parts so as to form a continuous lattice or pattern such as hexagons. The pattern is preferably continuous over the entire smooth surface. The elevated pattern is resiliently compressible with respect to the smooth surface so that a users fingers may deform the elevated pattern to provide additional traction during use. The writing instrument may also include a vented cap.

Abstract:

A writing instrument is provided including a gripping section arranged along a portion of the writing instrument normally used for gripping and a writing tip extending from the gripping section. The gripping section may be provided on a replaceable cartridge element which is inserted into a cartridge-receiving cavity in the writing instrument body. A soft, resiliently deformable gripping member is provided on the gripping section and is preferably tubular in shape. The gripping member includes a smooth surface which may include a slightly elevated or raised pattern. The elevated pattern may comprise a plurality of interconnected parts so as to form a continuous lattice or pattern such as hexagons. The pattern is preferably continuous over the entire smooth surface. The elevated pattern is resiliently compressible with respect to the smooth surface so that a users fingers may deform the elevated pattern to provide additional traction during use.

International Classification:

B43K 110

US Classification:

401258, 401195, 401131, 345179

Abstract:

A multi-functional writing instrument which includes a combination pocket clip and stylus for input devices, such as personal digital assistants. The writing instrument includes a body having a cap portion, and the combination clip member and stylus having first and second ends, wherein an actuator tip is mounted to the second end and the clip member is mounted to the cap portion and slidably movable with respect thereto. The clip member is slidably movable relative to the body between a clamping position, for attachment to a pocket, and a stylus position, where the actuator tip of the clip member is extended beyond one end of the instruments body enabling engagement with a touch screen. The instrument allows the user to conveniently switch from writing on conventional media, for example paper, to inputting data in a personal digital assistant.
