Abstract
A pencil sharpener may include a body having a first end and a second end aligned along a main axis of the body, the body having a pencil receptacle disposed at the first end and configured to releasably attach to a pencil such that a longitudinal axis of the pencil is parallel to the main axis of the body of the pencil sharpener, the body further having a bore formed therein between the first end and the second end, the bore having a bore axis oblique to the main axis; and a sharpener blade disposed adjacent the bore such that a portion of a pencil is insertable into the bore of the body to be sharpened by the sharpener blade.
Claims20
A pencil sharpener comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end aligned along a main axis of the body, the body having a pencil receptacle disposed at the first end and configured to releasably attach to a pencil having an outer periphery and a longitudinal axis within the outer periphery of the pencil, the body further having a bore formed therein between the first end and the second end and intersecting the longitudinal axis of the pencil, the bore having a bore axis oblique to the main axis;
- and
- a sharpener blade disposed adjacent the bore such that a portion of a pencil is insertable into the bore of the body to be sharpened by the sharpener blade.
A pencil sharpener assembly, comprising:
- an outer periphery and pencil having a longitudinal axis with the outer periphery;
- and
- a pencil sharpener body having a first end and a second end aligned along a main axis of the pencil sharpener body, the pencil sharpener body further having a bore formed therein between the first end and the second end and intersecting the longitudinal axis of the pencil, the bore having a bore axis oblique to the main axis;
- and
- a sharpener blade disposed adjacent the bore,
- wherein the pencil sharpener body has a pencil receptacle disposed at the first end and configured to releasably attach to the pencil such that, in a first configuration, the pencil releasably attaches to the pencil receptacle with the longitudinal axis of the pencil parallel to the main axis of the pencil sharpener body and, in a second configuration, the pencil released from the pencil receptacle is partially insertable into the bore of the pencil sharpener body to be sharpened by the sharpener blade.
A pencil sharpener assembly, comprising:
- a pencil sharpener body having a first end and a second end aligned along a main axis of the pencil sharpener body, the pencil sharpener body further having a bore formed therein between the first end and the second end, the bore having a bore axis oblique to the main axis;
- and
- a sharpener blade disposed adjacent the bore,
- wherein the pencil sharpener body has a pencil receptacle disposed at the first end and configured to releasably attach to a first pencil having an outer periphery with a longitudinal axis within the outer periphery wherein the bore intersects the longitudinal axis of the pencil parallel to the main axis of the pencil sharpener body and a second pencil or the first pencil released from the pencil receptacle is partially insertable into the bore of the pencil sharpener body to be sharpened by the sharpener blade.
