Capacitive touch screen compatible stylus adaptor for writing instruments

Abstract

An adaptor allows a user to turn any pencil or pen into a capacitive stylus while still allowing it to write on paper. When attached to a pencil, pen or similarly shaped and purposed tool, it gives the tool the added capability of operating electronic devices having a capacitive touch screen. It does this while constantly maintaining the writing instrument's intrinsic capability of marking paper. The main component of the invention comprises a fastener which allows electricity to pass along it while simultaneously allowing the writing utensil tip to be permanently exposed. It can transfer electricity from the user's hand to the touch screen without interfering with the original function or ergonomic shape of the writing instrument. A seamless workflow between surfaces is created since the same end of the writing instrument is used and no other action is required to reveal or conceal its tip.
