Abstract
A straightedge with a holder for a writing implement includes a planar measuring surface, such as a ruler, set square or the like, with a slide track. The slide track extends along an edge of the planar measuring surface. A first end of a writing implement holder is slidably mounted within the slide track, and a second end of the writing implement holder is adapted for releasably holding a writing implement, such as a pen, pencil or the like. The writing implement holder is movable along the slide track such that the writing implement moves along the edge of the planar measuring surface. A support made from cork, rubber or the like may be located on a rear surface of the planar measuring surface.

A straightedge with a holder for a writing implement comprising:
- a planar measuring surface having a slide track, the slide track extending along an edge of the planar measuring surface;
- and
- a writing implement holder having a first end that is slidably mounted within the slide track and a second end adapted for releasably holding a writing implement,
- wherein the writing implement holder is movable along the slide track such that writing implement moves along the edge of the planar measuring surface that the slide track extends along, and
- wherein each of the first and second ends of the writing implement holder is adjustably tiltable such that the writing implement holder may tilt at different angles.
